I have a few transport cars. Both of these actually, MTH 30-7659 SF Cadillac & 30-7674 UP TBird TRANSPORTS, and 4 others.
I was attempting to find the price on the 30-7674, but it did not appear on MTH.
So I did a search, and an ebay ad came up. Priced at $159, for both. $149 immediate sale.
Now, I wish I was naive enough to believe these were realistic prices.
And I wish I was naive enough to believe I could get those prices for mine.
But Wish as I might, I cannot get that level of naivete.
Anyway, I attempted to find 30-7674 in the 2000 catalog pdf, having been led there by this information, "The 2000 Cal-Stewart souvenir car was a 2 level Union Pacific auto carrier car with 4 die-cast Ertl Ford Thunderbirds in 'O' gauge for Rail King by MTH. Catalogue #30-7674. It featured die-cast metal trucks, operating knuckle couplers, and a detailed ABS plastic body." I found this on http://www.ttos-sw.org/previous.htm.
But it doesn't list the original price.
And the catalog pdf, doesnt exist for the catalog, I believe this car is in.
http://mthtrains.com/aw-2000-volume-2-railking,
because I looked in the other catalogs I downloaded, and it was not there.
Maybe it is not in any catalog. But I would like to know the original selling price.
Also, what are the letters in front of the catalog years? "AW"
Thanks
