The post on the 773 and O27 track got me wanting one again.
I have always wanted a 773 but just don’t have the budget for the original 1950 model. I k
I had to pay the full catalog price for my 1950–$50!
Okay, I will take it Bob!! [(-D]
Stay away from the 783 even after tweeking it is not a good performer.
Each one after that got better.
When I first got into Toy Trains a hobby shop had a poster for the coming 783 I believe for $560 or around there, I said to myself I’ll never pay that much for a engine. This was back in the days when popular trains went up. A few years later I paid $750 for mine and that was a good deal at the time.
