The other night - a listing popped up - Post War F3 ABA...$30.00 Buy It Now.
The first thing I looked for was "From China" - which we see a lot with these "too good to be true" listings. Nope, a CA seller.
He had Best Offer active - so I offered 25...accepted. Shipping was 35 - but he refunded a bit! So less than 50 bucks in these.
Now - they are repainted - its not Len Caparelli - but for the most part, not bad - the hand painted lettering is a bit on the folk art side.
These were done nicely though - I suspect to look like PRR E3 or similar series. Im in PA - and these had no business in CA!
Listed as "works" - put them on the track and "growwwwllll" off they went - forward and reverse work fine.
I know - A LOT of guys here would think these stink because of the folky paint job - but that's the part I like.
In any case - a GREAT deal - if just for parts. They are still out there!
