Where to Buy Legacy 4-8-4's

do a google search for these two numbers

6-11332

6-11333

with or without Lionel before the numbers.

I am not sure you will find any on big discounts, but you ought to be able to find some just by googling.

Um ok thanks.  I already have the Lionel #'s, so how exactly does telling me to do a google search help me, in answering my question?

Lee,

I have done the Google searching thing.  All I am finding are dealers that are charging MSRP or more.

Call BARRYs Trains in Elizabethtown Pa. 717-367-4745 I think he still has some at a good price.

Yeah - this is one loco where you probably won't find blow out prices.  Maybe a little discount at best.  If I could find a blowout price, I'd have bought buy a third.  I think they are just that good.

Charles Ro still has one northern listed for $1175, not a big discount but ros a reputable store.

Sidetrack Hobbies has the Santa Fe 6-11332 listed for $799. They are a first class store and many of us on the forum do business with them.

you stated this "Any and all suggestions/ input is very much appreciated."

and then BLAST me????? geee.... if you would have said what you tried I would not have made a post.

One thing to be aware of is that some of the hits you get/prices you see when you Google will not be available: the serach engine somehow returns "old stuff." A week or so ago I was seraching to buy another of this loco if I could find it below $900, and had several hits in the $800-$900 range come up - but when I tried to order online or called, I was told no longer available.  The best price I could actually find, verified by phone, was only about $180 off list price

My apologies if you felt that I Blasted you..

SideTrack Hobbies still has stock on #3751; but not #3759.

Just for anyone who may be interested.

Al and Libby run a first-class operation at SideTrack Hobbies.  Whenever I order in-stock items from them, the items arrive the next day (MD to PA).  No exceptions.

I purchased both #3751 and #3759 from SideTrack Hobbies at these great prices, and I just got 3751 a few weeks ago.  So they must have grabbed a few of them from Lionel at the lower internal cost price to still be offering them for $799.  Great locomotives... and I was surprised they still had them!!!

They are one of the few places I still phone rather than order online. They are a pleasure to talk to.

They will check to make sure they have the item you want in stock before they take the order.

Great service, great prices, fast shipping, what more can you ask for?
