Every engine is different, every install will have different features. For my MTH Hudson, if you purchase the parts at full retail you are looking at 350-400 bucks. I purchase my parts at the warehouse sale for 50% off. Depending on what Bruk will need to do, (3D parts, special mods, etc, etc) look at another 300-500 in labor. I have no Idea what Sid will charge but he may get one of my projects if Bruk can't take it on.
To me it's worth it. I'm not a fan of the DCS system, sounds are old and stale. Legacy operation is worlds above DCS not to mention Railsounds, IMO. Others will disagree. I only have three MTH engines anyway. Will I do any TMCC engines to Legacy? Maybe someday down the road but I like how they run and sound now.
But lets get back to the A2 Skip posted about. Really wish I knew where that tooling is. There's been no steamers announced since the MTH breakup. This Berk would be a real seller.
