From time to time I've seen folks post looking for the VL Santa Fe steamer from several years ago. Just noticed that Trainz is offering one for sale.

As amazing as that figure may be, I don't doubt it. As I mentioned, it's a fantastic engine. With those kind of numbers, I'm especially happy that I already own one.
I have one also, my favorite along w the new Big Boy. Got mine for $1500 including shipping two years ago, like new including the box and shipping box. I felt bad for the original owner who had just lost his job and needed the cash. I bought it thru this forum.

FWIW, there is one on DaBay for $3300/OBO.
But the real ATSF 2-10-10-2 bargain there is one for $879 - of course it's Westside, brass and HO - but otherwise the same.

That particular seller is notorious for excessive pricing.
Up to $1,780.00 with an hour to go.

Wow, $1,925. Works out to $2,236.64 with fee and shipping (could be more on shipping).
The early VL stuff is bringing top dollar. I watched a UP VL Challenger bring $1700 the other day (22 bids!)...
Ended at $1,925.00.
Perhaps this is another sale ,with asking Price $3,299.00
The buyer fee alone was $288.75
the bay one was mentioned earlier in this thread.
