I am thinking of selling my 1st generation Bachmann Climax. It has been converted to Battery. Not RC though. It was used @ my holiday display. So all it has is an on/off and away it goes. There is little wrong with it. Batteries probably should be replaced since they are about 5 years old. I was wondering what I should ask for a loco like this?
Probably in the $200 range. I say that because it is old and I’m assuming it has the problematic gears Bachman used to have. So, there is a chance they will need to be replaced. The battery conversion is not worth much unless someone plans to use the loco in a display like you did.
Did Bachmann have one or 2 runs on the Climax and then a third with the latest version?
Brandy new are $400 plus. Ones in great shape are $300- $350 so I would think yours would be worth like Jake said $200-$250
Maybe someone can change it back to track power or add RC. The climax is a great little engine.
Try selling it here or on the Bay.
Thanks for the help.
