Hmmmm………….
…….price seems a "tad" high unless it’s some fancy butt collectors item.

Re: Hmmmm………….
It is a tad high, but not completely out of the ballpark. I would give him a hundred bucks for it, and I don't even want another Lobaugh Challenger. $300 is probably in the proper range - no corrosion, and you get a spare Berk smokebox front. I bet it runs!
I think Stevenson has the proper smokebox front. They are not rare. A little work and a tender and you have a model that will bring a grand.

Re: Hmmmm………….
Go take another look. To bring it to the level of an average to good Lobaugh, you need a smokebox front, a trailing truck, and a coat of paint. It appears dead straight, with no other parts missing, and even good boiler bands. Super detailing might take two evenings - three, if you want lag clamps. I always re-do the cab with rivets, but then it is no longer stock Lobaugh.

Yes. I did not realize it ran. I personally would cough up $200 for something like that, and I already have way too many.

Re: Hmmmm………….
Me too, and not to question the piece's innate value as is or Bob's assessment thereof, but I'm still smiling on those "little work" and " a coat of paint" parts. Kudo's to the seller too.

Re: Hmmmm………….
Come now. You saw what I did with your brother's Challenger. This one would have been a lesser challenge. I have enough parts to knock out a tender in three days - it's just that I counted five of these (and a total of ten Lobaugh Challengers) around here. And I have fragments for an eleventh. That's why I wouldn't go over $200.
