C-19 or K-27

[mudhen]

It's been a while since I have purchased any 1:20.3 Bachmann steam engines and I would like to know what you guys think a used or new C-19 # 346 should be worth and same question for me K-27 # 456. Thanks in advance for any help.

HI Mudhen,

Those are really tough questions.  There is a C-19 on Evilbay right now and it has a bid of $1500 on it with six days remaining.  It is the 346. 

I couldn't find any K-27's.

As Bill says, that's a tough question. Both are out of production, so there are no "new" ones, though (to my surprise - don't people run their trains?,) they keep turning up as new-old-stock in original boxes.
Both are highly regarded, though an old K-27 will need replacement axle counterweights, I think. I've seen both in the $1,000 to $2,000 range.
