Toby produced some very well made O scale locos so if it is in good condition I would say it could sell for that asking price. However, attending current O scale meets I see many very nice O scale brass steam locos with what I consider to be very fair pricing and they are still for sale at the end of the meet.

If I wanted a USRA Mountain, I would certainly consider this.

Peter,

If it sells for the opening bid, or more, then, yes. If not, then maybe. Why maybe? Could be the "Right" buyer didn't see it. List it again. Maybe they will the second, or third, time.

How's that for an answer?

The starting bid is $97 less than it was the last time he listed it: Unsold USRA HEAVY 4-8-2 with starting bid of $1,095.

Toby? The USH Mountains and Berks are selling at the $750-$950 price point. The nice L&N Berk has been seen selling for around $500 on eBay. Don't hold your breath.
