Reply to "Thoughts & Observations on Lionel's 700E"

Times sure have changed in the almost 30 years, Sam.

I still have my 18005 1-700E on my shelf, and although I would never part with it - because too much nostalgia - I have given it a lot of modern enhancements. It's kind of hard to believe now that less than 10 years ago we were still paying $700 or so for that locomotive. Yet, there are still a lot of people who do want them.

The Vision 700E, on the other hand, has been enjoying a slight escalation in value over its original price in the 6 years since its release. You'd be lucky now to find someone who has a Mint version at $1600 or less. I guess I can't blame everyone - it is a remarkable locomotive. Maybe not as a full scale model, but definitely an old favorite with some more than amazing features.

Though I won't deny a Legacy J3A is more than needed right now...
