Ooooh yes! I score an Accucraft K-27 on Ebay!

Can you believe it? I was the ONLY bidder!!! Accucraft K-27 electric, used, with Phoenix sound, Airwire, battery power and smoke unit! $1,550 Oh wow this is gonna be great! I’ll post pics when it gets here. It just shipped today. Merry Christmas to me! Woooo Hoooo! :slight_smile:

congratulations

I dont know if you noticed but the loco was listed three times and sold once on Nov. 24th. Did you ask the seller what happened?? As to why it didnt sell or did the buyer back out on him? I hope it comes through for you. What a beauty.

Hmmm… I did not notice the previous listings of the unit or the cancelled sale. There was no mention by the seller either. It shows that it has shipped, so it appears she is on her way. Thanks Kyle. I honestly dared not hope that I would actually win it, but I did. I hope she gets here safe and sound.

Sometimes its the little victories that count

Nice score! Now if I could get one of Rich Yoder’s EBT #14’s for a similar price…

Me too. I’d be quite tempted to hit the plastic for that.

Well, she got here today!! Needs a little cleanup, but nothing serious. Then I need to test her on the rollers and see how she runs.

I’ll post some pics in my gallery. Woo Hoo! :slight_smile:

Cool!

Im so glad it arrived for you and nothing out of the norm. When I saw its previous auction history I got worried that something was fishy. Sometimes things sell and the buyer backs out. Which is what turned out to be this case with this loco. I am just glad it wasn’t the other way around and you where buying from a poor seller. Did’nt mean to throw you a red flag, just wanted to make you aware.

Great score Woody. Glad it worked out for you.

Kyle- Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, I’m glad it all worked out well too. Ebay is always a bit of a gamble. Even with pictures there can be unknowns. The fact that the seller had not tested it did make for a pretty big risk, but after some battery therapy she is running great! I had 'er outside today as it warmed up here a bit, and she was running very nicely, and looking like a beauty queen!

@ Jake- Thanks! Me too!!

We need pictures Woody!

Thanks Joe! :slight_smile: I can’t seem to figure out how to get the embed to work here.

Woody,

Use the “share” youtube URL and place it in brackets like this (delete the *)

Thanks Joe!

Woody,

SWEET vid! I like the melding of the proto pics with your run. Nicely done!

Darn it, I can’t see it. :frowning: It says ‘restricted to certain sites’ and ‘sequence not viewable in your region’.

Anyhow, I’ve had mine since they came out over here in yUK, and paid the full $4900 for it. THEN had to put the sound system in it.

You REALLY lucked in there!!!

Enjoy!
