The people dropping $5k+ aren't phased by economic conditions. Given the number of folks stuck at home playing trains I tend to think he might find a buyer. Just wonder if the higher price even with offer option will scare people away. Best of luck! US$5K is about right. US$7K you need to wear a mask to ask.... Hi everyone, the listing has been live a couple of weeks, several offers but a bit too low, I don’t want to keep it on long term, I’ve picked up on what you all think price wise, so I’ll send a good offer out to all those who are watching Tomorrow and if no takers then I’ll keep it, as if I let it go-then I will never replace it as I don’t think they will be made again 😀

Unfortunately auctions are what make people bid irrational amounts (adrenaline and all) but it's a gamble for you ... a BIN listing is basically a fishhook waiting for the right buyer. But you might be fishing for a long time.
Dont understand the video link, Commodore... Evidently my sarcasm meter is not functioning today. 😬

I fully agree, they are really nice pieces of art, these UP brass cabooses.... Here pulled by a good old UP Mikado together with a lot of fruit reefers....... ...., but of course the super stars are the cabooses! Yes, a Merry Christmas as well! Sven

I would think twice about that Something doesn't seam quite right with those listings. Those prices are way too high. All 4 items are listed a being sold by "!ntress" But when you check, other items or visit his store none of them are there.

About the AC-12 Cab Forward: The best known example of the cab-forward design in the United States, the Southern Pacific CabForward (also known to a lesser extent as “Cab-in-fronts” and “Cab-aheads”) placed the cab at the front by the simple expedient of turning the entire locomotive, minus the tender, by 180 degrees, an arrangement made possible by burning fuel oil instead of coal. The cab forward design was widely used by the Southern Pacific Railroad, which developed it to deal with the peculiar problems of its routes. The 39 long tunnels and nearly 40 miles (64 km) of snow sheds of the Sierra Nevada Mountains could funnel dangerous exhaust fumes back into the crew compartment of a conventional locomotive. After a number of crews nearly asphyxiated, someone had the idea of running his locomotive in reverse. This meant that the tender was leading the train,which introduced new problems. The tender blocked the view ahead and put crewmen on the wrong sides of the cab for seeing signals. The tenders were not designed to be pushed at the lead of the train, which limited speeds. Southern Pacific commissioned Baldwin Locomotive Works to build a prototype cab-forward locomotive, then ordered more before the prototype had even arrived.
