Maybe that price for a nice one. Water. Seen it. Lifts the paint.
So you have an Irvington car that you have to repaint and the value of originality is gone. Trucks and axles rusted.
On top of that, it has a TCA Restored Tinplate tag, so it's been done once, and value is even less.
Opinion: Not worth the cost of shipping.
no redeeming value?

Another one, at least he admits it's been repainted once. Silhouettes are laying on the floor, no sill, no light assembly, no pickup rollers.

Yeow!!! That was painful to look at, especially with that price tag.

Those are examples of why I would rather buy new Williams before Bachmann Luxury Lines or other railroads passenger cars for lower costs.
