can anyone tell me the value of the rock island 2119 train 2-8-0 loco. it has DCC already installed and runs perfectly.
I have seen online prices ranging from 120-190 but i am looking for a realistic price. does it fall in between those 2 numbers or does it fall in the higher range or lower range.
what would you buy it for if i was to sell it to you?
Thanks
depends really, these engines were mass produced by bachmann for a number of years and there's alot of them out there I've picked my spectrum one up for roughly $30 but thats because no one else bid on the train set it was in(my luck)
normally i'd see these going anywhere between $50 and $70(brand new) the value depreciates over time as newer thing comes out just like the original bachmann plus 2-8-0's used to be around $100 each now you can easily pick one up for $15-20
if you're trying to make money on one my biggest suggestion as an experienced buyer/seller is sell it in the winter time, there's more demand then
I got one a little over 3 years ago. So I have a feeling that was when the Rock Island 2119, which is the one I have, was a new model but I am not sure. But I got it from hobby town, 3 years ago, for about $120.
Since you have ran it, it probably is not completely mint, so I would say about $30-$40, if it is mint then about $40-$50.
