Burner Bait!

I dunno, Bob. More than I'd pay WITH drives. Last set of brass cast diseasemals I got were free...FTA and FTB. Then a buddy gave me a box of A-N drives. And sideframes. Jay gave me some motors. Cannot imagine spending 100 plus shipping for a shell then having to find the rest.
Give this one a Two Tumbler rating.

That is Art Hayes - a good guy. Shipping is ok.

I have paid $50 for one of these with "power", but I think I have enough. Trying to get good sides cast. Been waiting a year for the aluminum "B" sides.

Not going to dignify the other E's - junk bin? They have been listed for over a month.

I am watching that Erie-Built B unit - hope someone else buys it before they reduce it to what I am willing to pay. What good is a B without an A?

If it sells, then I guess he priced it right. Art knows what he's doing. I've certainly seen worse listed for more.

I think I agree. All of a sudden, doorstops have become collectibles, while good old USH prices have stabilized below their peak. Still, I am not tackling any more until I can get a reliable foundry to do new side panels.

The ancillary to that is someone without a clue as to value or the cost (and skill) to find all the bits and rebuild them whips out his trusty EvilBait credit card.
Most likely scenario.

But SOMEBODY seems to have old Baldwin sideframes, if I recall.

Or it's the guy with a shop full of parts who does know what he's getting into - I sold a P&S pile of parts to just the right guy just a few months ago.

If I had 1 I could probably cast them in resin w/o much effort; somebody does have the heavy electric side frames - East Gary Car Co., I think.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.
