Swap: Ruby #5 for LGB Santa Fe Warbonnet F7a

Looking to swap my test run Accucraft Ruby #5 for a good used LGB Santa Fe warbonnet F7. My Ruby has been run once at the RLD open house, comes complete with all paper work, main box and shipping box. would also consider an Aristo/REA Alco FA in warbonnet colors. Thanks Mike

Good luck, I tried to all but give away a MIMI, Ruby, (has a tender, pressure gage) about a year ago.
Now wife, Mimi, likes it, thus it sits on display.

Thats funny Bill. I have enough stuff on display according to my wife. Cheers Mike

Cheers, only 2:40? OK if you insist, will open a beer, 5:40 mid Atlantic?
Mimi, the CFO, wife, grand kids, great grand kids, call her Mimi, thus with the name MIMI on the engine it’s stuck to the shelf.

Thats cool Bill. I am seriously temped to swap out my G scale track in the garden for some weather proof O scale track. Just due to the tight curves I have and will always have. Still hoping I can swap the Ruby for a warbonnet engine. Mike

Mike why not sell the Ruby on ebay and buy the F7 from a dealer. Looking at what A Ruby is going for, you can easily get $400+. Looking at prices for the F7 I found one for 487 or so. I think you might have a hard time swapping. I would think anyone with an F7 is not into live steam especially a small Ruby. Just my thought.
