@Former Member posted:If you read the details of the lot, it was part of a set break-up. The Hudson went in the next lot and the Pullmans followed that.
2148WS Box: $7,400
773 Hudson (C9/10) $5,100
3 Pullmans (C9) $4,400
Total $16,900
Stout sold a boxed 2148WS set complete with the loco and cars, rated C10, in 2017 for $11,000. The next lot after the Pullmans was a C10 Canadian Pacific F3 set for $7,300. That guy probably thought he got a bargain.
It only takes 2 people, or more likely egos, to make wild things happen at an auction.
The same guy bought all of it. He is posting about it on a group page
