Its not worth it... It looks like an old AHM C Liner is mixed in there, an older Bachmann F unit, a Mantua 0-4-0, and a RDC3, all of which run poorly. Unless you really want it, I'd buy something of much better quality, with a warranty from "The Favorite Spot."

How do you know the F unit is new? It appears to have Talgo, Truck Mounted Horn Hooks. Characteristic of out of production ATSF F units.

But, it is graded as very good. 

If the seller is using TCA grading, then all he is saying is that these units are is very good cosmetic condition.  He is saying nothing about their running condition.  A locomotive could have stripped gears and a burned out motor and still grade C-6.

If the seller is not a member of TCA then C-6 Very Good can mean anything the seller chooses it to mean.  If you want to know about running condition, email the seller and ask.  But make sure you email him through your eBay account and that he answers through eBay as well.  This way eBay has a record of what you asked and what he answered, if a dispute ever arises.

Like Guilford Guy, I have had very favorable dealings with The Favorite Spot.  Not only are his prices good, but he is a bona fide dealer which means that manufacturers' warranties apply.  If you do your own repairs, this may not be a problem for you.  If not, it could be a major consideration.
Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Looks like junk to me. ;D The Favorite Spot is great and I buy from them all the time.
