Thanks, Jack for the number.

As luck would have it I Just came in from being out in the yard all day, and saw your post here at 5pm edt, called it right away, but they closed at 5.
So I'll have to try tomorrow.

Still no word from Noel Barrett/appraiser.
Even though it's a commemorative issue it's still less than 25years old. So I'd go along with the $112 price.
My guess is, it would have to wait another 75years before the price would budge.

Did talk with the Insurance Co.
Since it wasn't an antique it would be foolish to go any higher than $200. And at that rate the homeowners policy would cover it, just take pix of it, for the record.

Thanks again,

Steve

Thank you all for the replies fellows.

To ebtnut, ebtbob, and jward:
I used this link The PRR K-4s #1361 Steam Locomotive Restoration Project
(click on links to table of contents) to find out.

  • ebtnut, Return to excursion service is iffy. Use ebtbob's link below see, at bottom. Funding stopped July 14, 2007
  • ebtbob, Railroaders Memorial Museum says it's still in altoona. Never did a Bowser, but a Mantua K-4 kit.
  • jward, This link gives a pretty good rundown PRR K-4s #1361 Restoration

For jsmvmd:
Thanks, It's a start.....I wonder what it would be in today's $$$$$ 
I have a mail out to Noel Barrett/appraiser, but haven't heard from him yet. 

For Pacific Northern:
Yes, I believe it was the Railroaders Memorial Museum.
Well...at least it won't drive up my homeowner's insurance too much.

Hi Everyone!

I have a HO commemorative issue 1361 Pennsy engine that has never been out of the box, that was given to me by my Dad (Bless His Soul).

I do not want to sell, but have limited information about.

Can anyone supply me with production run figures (Limited by Bachmann )
Original price
Present value For insurance purposes.

This steam engine was produced by Bachmann to commemorate the rebuilding of 1361, and sold only at the ceremonies held at the Horseshoe Curve, Altoona Pa.

The engine made an "Special run" from Altoona to Norththumberland, Pa.. but unfortunately had bearing trouble on the trip, and was never ran again.
