Those are visionline I just want a legacy all diecast disel. They are like half the price and almost exactly the same

The only difference is the charging lights......I wouldn't expect to pay half the price of the Vision Line ones.
When the visionline were available by Lionel they were only $25-50 more than the legacy diesels, but since they aren't made anymore and are visionline people charge $1500+ when they were only $900 or less when they first came out.
If you get any of them for under 1k your doing good
You won't even come close to getting one for half thevprice of a Vision Line. The BSA UP ES44AC will get more than a VL loco will get but if you can get a deal on any of them for less than a grand jojo is right you're doing well
I just want the die cast ones for durability, is it worth it? I just love diecast but they aren't made often and I'm wondering if I should just stay to plastic diesels
Price is not only WAY out of my league, but so is the time era....I dodged that bullet.
Its too bad, some money grubbing people have really ruined this hobby...
I think I'm going to buy a diecast diesel and give it a chance and see if it is worth it
I was selling a set of Vision line tank cars with sound. Someone here reminded me of the original list price (which I'd be glad to pay again). Then they generously offered me $100.
I can't help but look at these posts and laugh. I maybe way off base on this one. I just think people need to look around. If you want it, order it.
I'm just $100 short of being able to order a new one that's why I came to ask if anyone wanted to sell a used one.

Unfortunately this is the case way too often.
They're well worth it, not $1800 worth it but even if you spend $1250 I think some of them are worth that. UP ones are worth it, GEVOs are sweet and the CP RAIL ones are better than the GE ones. BSA is pretty cool but not worth what people are trying to get. I have a couple of them and they're all on the list with my 261 as not for sale

This is a first. Isn't Everything other than the shell the same?
Buy three plastic diesels instead. Two powered and one dummy.
I'm going to get their diecast just because in the future I am going to do custom paint jobs and cool modifications to the engines and the metal will hold up better and you can't go wrong with die cast
You never mentioned in you post that the es44ac had to be a non vision line loco. I suggest you post the item model number. Your at the rite place but your going to have to be patience if you want to buy a non vision line die cast es44ac on the forum.

Buy a plastic one your not gonna get a diecast one for under 1k . As I guy that's had 30 of these go threw my hands I know .. Yes I buy and sell trains for market value I am guilty . I don't over inflate though.
Take a look on ebay, there are a bunch.
The KCS @1250 is probably the best bang for your buck, however, still a bit steep for that road-name.
The most desirable renditions are:
UP BSA 2010 (usually go for $1500+)
GE EVO Hybrid (market has softened for this one for some reason, at least the current market trend).
BNSF #6431 and the extremely elusive BNSF #6436
Good luck, I had them all at one point, they are amazing!

Yea the ge evos are only pulling 1300 to1400 after fees .
cp rails1200 bnsf 1300 boyscout name your price. Union Pacific 1200 kc 1100
Do you have any? And do you like them better than normal abs models? I just want one because it's diecast, but the extra features are cool too
Me ? I have 4 ..2diecast and 2 plastic
If Lionel were to start putting out diecast diesels for about $900 would you buy them?
They won't they will be 1200 .. there's plastic engines are almost 600.
The diecast models are magnitudes better than the plastic. The detail is better, the operation is better and the sound is better. You won't be sorry you bought the diecast loco, I can guarantee you that

Exactly! I'm hopefully will get one for my Birthday
I don't get the charge of price gouging if the item is an optional purchase. There is certainly a gray area on some things like meds, etc. and certainly gouging on live saving items, but a toy train? Is $40,000 to much for a 100 year old new in the original box train set? It's up to the buyer and seller. I think a lot of the gouging accusations are by folks who don't want and wouldn't buy the item if it were near free anyway. Just critics and complainers.
Like I stated before. I saw one one on Ebay and it just sold for $1k on 1/8/17..!!
Toyspecialist posted:Like I stated before. I saw one one on Ebay and it just sold for around $500 on 1/8/17..!!
I don't think it had a diecast body, but probably was a regular engine. I got my fec es44ac for $500 new off eBay
Alex,
Actually it was, take a look for yourself.

I thought you said $500. Lol, I could of sworn it said $500. But Yea I saw that
You missed the boat on that one, thats not a bad deal. Pay attention to the item numbers. That one was a die cast model
Alex,
I think your best opportunity is to watch Ebay. I've seen several die cast loco's like that on Ebay in the past. Or you can pull your rockin chair out and wait on the forum..!!!
I'm looking for the BS union pacific 2010.

Yeah for $3K. Absolutely ridiculous. Bent handrails and missing coupler. No thanks
Hi! I bought a KCS die cast for $450 in November. Runs fine - now looking for UP.
