 Topic: Scale Allis Locomotive Train Set
Posted: 04 Apr 2018 at 10:54am |
Anyone else here have the full Allis Chalmers Collecters Locomotive train set consisting of the locomotive, cars, scale tractors, and track? Just wondering I got part of the set in the mail yesterday!

1939 Allis-Chalmers "B" restored in 2010- very good condition.

Yea it is pretty cool. Especially if your into Allis history and die cast models or trains. Fully functional train on tracks too.

The train is made by Bachman. They charge about half the price for the same train without the Allis-Chalmers name one it. I have part of it and quit after a couple of cars because of the price. They will keep sending added cars. I had a hard time telling them to stop. To priceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! just because of the Allis name on it.

That is actually not a bad price, my other bad habit is model trains. I picked up the Athearn UP 1943 SD70AH, with DCC and sound, $280.00 plus tax. A locomotive for $80.00 doesn't seem bad at all.

Haha. Yea I'm on my second car. I was hoping they only had so many cars in the collection because it's hard to say no or cancel to such a cool train collection. I think I'll have stop after 6 or so months if they keep coming like this every month!

To me it seems a little too pricey for HO scale.
