Looking for a C44-9W or something that looks like it. Being new to this hobby I can not tell the driffreness between a F7 and a F-3. So C44-9W or something tha looks like it is fine.
More than likely I will do the E-bay thing aand want a idea to what they should go for new or used. Main line name I want is Santa Fe and perfer War Bonnet.
Do not want sound but like it to be DCC ready when I make the jump.
I know road names has alot to do with the prices, just wanting to a idea so I don’t break it off in my caboose.
If your lucky, $81.00 for the undecorated model. The decorated one will run you close $90.00. depending on what company. I know kato makes the c44-9w, also athearn does to. The athearn would a be little cheaper. If you go with ebay!
Road name generally does not have an affect on price. If it is a multicolor scheme that requires extra silk screening time possibly a couple of dollars. Now if it is a custom painted and decalled model that took someone four to six hours to do how much would you do it for? At minimum wage it would add over $24.00 to the cost plus the materials but it is going to look much better than a stock paint scheme.
