The price is $15,000, as is (complete with asbestos), where is. They must be trucked, not rolled. If you are interested, send me an e-mail with your phone #. > Thanks! > Alva Cunningham > Middlesboro, KY Kevinmccabe@avenew.com |

Yes the Bluegrass Railroad Museum has an 0-6-0 that they were advertising for around 25k or so. It needed alot of work, but there is no prohibition on running it again if that is a long range goal. Is it just me or are the IRM 0-8-0s going up in price? 15K plus asbestos! What a deal!!! I remember a 6K price at one time. rickrailrd@aol.com |

Never could arrange transport so let the idea die. Perhaps the difference is between "commercial" price offered to shopping malls looking for a display and real price between real museums - I know IRM doesn't want to gouge fellow legitimate preservation organizations.
