I’m having trouble selling this on Ebay, even though I’m setting the start price for what I paid for it at York last ECLSTS, from Star Hobby. But even at that nice deal, no one’s biting. Here’s the link, if you’re interested.

Thanks for looking,

Interesting that there’s no bid yet there are 10 watching. I guess that with “Time left: 16h 12m 58s” it is still 16 hours 12 minutes and 54 seconds too early for the bidding to begin.

I can never understand why these locos, and other Bachmann Spectrum, seem to be so underrated. One of my favourites, and the favourite of non-enthusiasts that visit my line.

Got mine 10 years ago following a chance visit (driving by, familar shape and flourecent yellow sticker catch my peripheral vision, jam on brakes and reverse) to a small local UK shop getting out of “G” scale. Price, brand new in box RGS version…now would be $120 ! I was a very happy customer. Got a NIB Connie for the same price at the same time too. Exceedingly happy customer. I never seen my Visa debit card fly out my wallet so fast.

Cliff, you might check on the shipping costs shown. They seem pretty high to me. I haven’t sold any in a couple of years, but I remember shipping costs for the Bachmann Spectrum locos in the $25-$30 range, give or take a few dollars based on distance. I did shop around for the best rates.

Thanks David. I double checked, and the weights & dimensions are good. I have the 3 cheapest services Ebay offers, and the costs are auto-calculated. But if you have better ideas, please let me know!
