If I remember correctly, dealers actually had a hard time getting rid of the Virginian Berks back in 2003.
IIRC, the NKPs sold out first, then the Eries....then the Virginian seemed to lag around for a while, even at "blow out" prices.
On a side note, have I really had my Lionel 779 (38050) for 11 years? Where on earth has the time gone?

What you left out is how hard it is to find the Lionel 6-38077 Virginian 2-8-4!! Incorrect steam domes or not its an elusive sonofagun.
