Still available - but it might be expensive to ship overseas
about 55$ USPS I think, still a lot cheaper than buying in Britain or Europe, where the loco alone costs about 150€.
I think I have had enough Big Haulers tough, received two on Monday.
but you might want to put the word out on a certain British forum we both frequent 
Rune, put the word out over there, still no interest after a good while, so going to Ebay.
Victor,
I’ll take the Annie Bumble Bee if its still available

Andre,
Sounds like a regular set “Big Hauler” 4-6-0 (plastic valve gear), not an Annie (metal side rods and better detail).
Hope this helps.

Yes its the Big Hauler set version w/ plastic sidevalves, if it was an Annie it would be 3 figures not 2. it has the same drive brick as the Annie but not the metal details. Its still a steal at $70, a crappy early Bug Mauler can average $50 on Evilbay
No. 177 is PLUS model Bumble Bee. No.178 is ANNIE model bumble Bee.
Shipping to Europe USPS Airmail (surface shipping no longer available) about $25.00. The Big ANNIE box will cost more.

You can buy him but you’d have to come pick him up, theres no way I’m going to try boxing and shipping Melvin. That’d be a BIG box
So no takers, then off to Ebay it goes.
Gentlemen,
I screwed up a bit. Although the No. 177 is a PLUS, it may also have a fifth gen drive which would increase it’s value. The easy ID for this model is the “hump” offset to one side for the axle gear clearance.

Barry, there is a hump but its centered on the rear driver, guess its just a humble “Plus” …still a steal ot only $70 but if no one is interested in a like-new almost-but-not-quite-an-Annie…
I just bought three of these. well not 'just, but at the same time I posted here earlier, otherwise I would have gone for it.
You really should post this ‘over there’
Vic,
The center hump, means it is a 4th Gen drive. Looked terrific, but didn’t hold the plastic bushings in the metal frame, so chewed the gear (surprisingly, the gear is three pieces).

Well then guess I better put it on ebay and hope for the best…
