I have been offered an LGB MIKADO used but in excellent condition, no marks scratches etc.
I am aware that there were some gearbox? problems with these locos.
The price being asked is HIGH reflecting the scareceness of the LGB loco.
I will shortly be able to buy a NEW Aristo Mike here in the UK for around £280 (Approx$ 550) delivered. Granted this would be neither DCC or Sound fitted so there would be an extra cost involved, but even so the NEW Aristo one works out Half the price of the USED LGB one.
Does any one have any comments / suggestions??
Should add my min curve on line is R3 (8'Dia).
I know that prices in the States are lower for these around ($370) but by the time shipping and importation charges & VATax is added theres not much price difference.
