Given the reported "short production run" for the E9's, I was surprised to see Nicholas Smith Trains has/had them for $670, listed in their email blast of 4/19.
Most of the big guns are selling them for $770-$780, then the next bump seems to be around $820-$830, with MSRP topping out at $930.
Although not prototypical, the Burlington's would look terrific heading up a California Zephyr! Too bad the Burlington didn't run E9 B-units, as I really like the look of ABA or ABBA configurations with the E- and F-style of diesels. Perhaps Lionel will do a run of B-units (powered would be ideal) for all the roadnames for which they produced AA offerings.
