I am also looking for a LGB 2085D mallet. If I can find one its between it and a 2019s mogul for $400 so I am trying to stay at or below that price point. Prefer it in its original box(but not required) and one of the earlier runs with the drivers held on by screws. Can be well used or no use, doesn’t matter. Thanks in advance. Mikie
Sorry Mike. I had two of them for about two months, when one of our members’ sons donated a huge collection of (mostly) LGB stuff to our club. Still have lots of LGB cars, a few sets, and a few locos.
You’d be best off looking at local clubs to see if someone is culling their stuff than paying a big shipping charge. I’d bet that shipping from a coast would be about 30% of the sale price.
what LGB locos are left Dick? There are several folks around me that run mostly all LGB, myself included. Mike
Still hunting, I have the following I would put toward a 2085d mallet. LGB 2018 mogul, runs excellent, most of the missing detail parts I have replaced. Good layout runner, no box so she is just a good one to run. USA trains Ralston Purina dog chow reefer with box, Kalamazoo flat car with crane, no box, LGB LG&B pink box car no box. I will also have some cash on hand as my HO collection sells on consignment down at a shop in Indy. Mike
