Hi,
With age setting in on Postwar locos and the mint ones going at high prices. How much would pay for a fake postwar engine?
Let say a 2345 WP F3.
Repainted frames to match the shells. The shells look good, not excellent you can tell close up they are repainted. The frames are in perfect working condition, reversing,clean,lighted,etc.
The reason I picked this engine because I was looking for a 2345. I could not find one that looked ok in my price range.(shell paint ok mostly) I didn’t want the newer TMCC stuff so I settled for AA set the was repainted and runs for $500.00. It looks good and I am happy with the set and the cost.
I know most powered frames go for about $190.00 or more, Shells are all over place with price,plus the cost of someone painting them.
I was just looking for other opinions.
Thanks,
Todd
