The following Lionel engines should see their values SKYROCKET, thanks to the recent permanent injunction on their manufacture in their current state:

- Scale C & O Allegheny
- Scale Union Pacific Big Boy

So what Investor speculators are the enemy of this hobby. FACT: in real dollars, collectible trains are worth less than they were 20 years ago.
True enough, but it will make getting hold of any of these engines more expensive. sigh
Thank God I don’t have any of them on my wish list. Diesel only for me.[swg]
I have a feeling that anything manufactured by Lionel LLC may go up in value in 3 or 4 years time.
