need help with buying new engine :/

How about a postwar Hudson (646, 2046, 2056)? Maybe a postwar Berkshire (736) will sell for that price.

I've got a Lionel baby berk. (same as the polar express engine with a smaller pilot), that I'd be willing to part with south of $200.00. One of those engines that I haven't run in years and is taking up closet space.

Otherwise, I would go with a postwar 2025/675. Not all that long, but nice driver/side rod action, smooth performance, and a wonderful smell of ozone and smoke.

Can you show pics?

Go see Jimmy.He owns Trading post on Pearl rd.Near the closed RTA bus terminal.He will hook you up.Tell him Nick sent you.Nick

Here's a few pic.'s of the baby berk. in B&O markings. It's a gray and blue engine. I think was a JC Penney's special some years back, and was from Lionel's first run of baby berk.'s. It has a die-cast metal engine and tender, and railsounds, not trainsounds.

Hopefully these pic.'s will help anyone considering a Lionel baby berk.

If you're interested in it, contact me through my profile.

Wow beautiful!!

Trading post trainshop is my fav place ever 

I love the engine all along the wall and in the case. He worked on my mighty sound of steam loco but I might not get a new train:// I have to buy a 175 watt transformer to run my old loco better and called him. Great place I don't live far.
