Re: loco prices

Well the ones in places like RTM are kinda of, unless someone is willing
to purchase one for return to operational condition.( after all that is
better than rusting away).
J Tullochs 30 class is private, along with the LVR's 59, and 3013, Casey
Jones collection is another one which duplicated exhibits could be sold
off (once he reitres or passes away). Apart from that there is a large
bunch of 2ft locos in private ownership.
