Cheapie MPC FA units. No redeeming social value.

However:

Trainz has graded them TCA C-6.

Except they're repaints, even says so.
And I certainly never saw a Lionel 8022 FA with blombergs.
Maybe, somewhere (I did see an NW2 with them...in fact I think I have one).

So, C-6, repainted, wrong trucks (all 4).

Nicely done. Price isn't too far off what a set of 8022's would cost you, if you can live with the blombergs.

C-1 since wrong parts?
R-2 Fair—A non-professional restoration:
Color, texture and finish clearly different from the original. Other items, such as non-authentic wiring are also evident.

Probably an R-2, and you can obtain 8022 AA's for $40-$60, some with the cars for that price, what is this set worth?

LOL. No how, no way does it grade TCA C6. You might get 35 bucks at a train show on a good day. Trainz is Nutz.
