The starting price is lower than the original owner bought the kit direct from the manufacturer. The kit builds into a wonderful diorama. I had one recently which I sold to a forum member at a very special price!

That's the kit that comes with a "best in show" trophy right in the box, isn't it?  :D


There's been a couple well-deserved ones right from this forum if I recall.

And I bet it's really killing him that he doesn't have the time to start building it!  :'(

Mike,

I'm shocked you got Greg to pay anything for the kit.

Just saying.

I'd say that's a fair price for the kit. Many waited a long time to get the original kits.

I wonder how many kits have actually been built.

At least as a friend I did not secure myself a free locomotive into the bargain whilst giving you a "great deal"!
