Couldn't really say without knowing the number. Pullmor or Pittman motor? Electric e-unit or conventional? Year it was made? What version of railsounds?
But if you like it and the price, buy it.

6-18505

Pullmor Motor

Not sure on year, 1993 maybe? Also unsure on what version of railsounds.

I got back into trains around 2000, while I was in college. My local shop had a set of these in the display case, and I always liked them. My Dad had bought a couple of MTH starter sets, and that's ultimately why I ended up getting an early Rail King Berkshire, and then a SW-8 switcher.

I have a couple of RK GP-7's, PS1 - how would these compare? Will the stamped handrails be noticeably different?

Thanks again for the help guys!
