I’ve been scouting eBay for an MTL Alaska baggage car.
Noticed AZL Alaska GP 38-2 and blue dome cars were $250.00 EACH BIN.
Didn’t buy but one of each in the beginning but they would now be worth a grand!
Whoa 😮!!

They are not worth a grand now. That is a mindlessly simple paint scheme, and repainting is easy!
Edit: I looked on ebay, and someone has even produced Z Scale decals for the whole passenger train, including the Princess Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruise domes. That's what you should invest in. $30 worth of decals, $5 worth of Alaska Railroad Blue paint, $70 for an Aztek airbrush, $5 rattle can of glosscote to seal the decals, and $200 for some cars to paint. Save almost $700, and you get to develop a new hobby skill. And what better railroad scheme to learn with than the absolute easiest paintscheme possible, 1 color and decals!

I’d just like someone with a laser ...to cut me one stencil that says ALASKA ! Know anybody? I need it to make me that 1981-90 baggage car |

Well, Donno about me. Just bought a big unused lot of Alaska for more than list, AZL and MTL, basically, to get the one car that I needed... I’m gonna sell 3 different road number coach domes (2 silver domes and one painted) plus all 3 number coaches. None of the domes and most coaches are unavailable.
I’ve got almost $450.00 in this 6 car lot. Should I just put them on eBay?

Down to a single painted dome left to sell. Last one sold on eBay for $250. How much should I ask? Pair of the stainless Dome Cars are selling for $140. How does $300 for a set of 3 sound?
