so I didnt buy it,
but yesterday I discovered the most fabulous TRAIN only (no other hobby) store nearby. They had these boxes of misc trains obviously from the likes of estate sales and such. I picked up a very heavy diesel engine and I liked the color scheme, so I looked at it and it is Louisville and Nashville which we will be doing in upcoming months or years. I asked the price along with 2 nice hopper cars and some sort of car with a light in the back that lights when it is pulled. The total asking price was $45. I bought all but the engine.
The engine was described as an Athearns "super" hand painted and was complete with no broken parts or anything. The paint job was superb. I guess it would come out to $30 for it. Since I am an idiot at these things, did I pass up a good deal? Should I go back and get it?
Thanks
