@MainLine Steam posted:Competing to sell new product, when I my opinion, this is plenty of used product out there is a "tough go".
For instance when I asked about buying a K-Line Mikado recently (which I did and posted about) many opinioned, that the Lastest Lionel Version probably used those molds. Well for the price difference, I can upgrade the electronics to anything I might want and add detail parts, and still be at less than half the price. Plus no zinc pest (they would have shown up by now). Or if I leave as is, could probably buy (4). It has TMCC, Railsounds, Chuffing smoke and Electro-coupler.
Another example - Used Weaver Brass Big Boy recent sales on that auction site $538 - $800. Not $2,899. Can do a lot upgrades for a $2K price difference.
Just Sayin'
Don't recall Weaver making a brass Big Boy. Was it a Williams maybe?
