Not an eBay offering, but I've been meaning to post these links for you HOn3 C&S folks.

Bill Davis owns American Scale Models and sells parts for brass models -- castings, gearboxes, trucks, etc. Most are surplus Overland Scale Models parts. Bill offers a couple of HOn3 C&S parts from past Overland runs:

Butterfly snow plow with pilot deck, flanger lift mechanism and other details, ready to install:

Ridgeway Spark Arrestor, assembled, ready to install:
https://americanscalemodels.com/HO/HON3_DETAIL_PARTS?product_id=1134


And if any of you On3 C&S folks need a "Como" spark arrestor to backdate a locomotive:

But, you'll need to provide your own shotgun stack . . .

 Thanks! That plow looks much nicer than some of the cruder castings I've seen, and would only need a small patch to fill in the cutout for the Ridgeway downtube to be right for 1910,

Yep, it's a beautiful part, here is how it looks mounted on a Precision Cooke 2-6-0:

[Jim Courtney]

Afternoon, all,

If anyone is desperate for an Sn3 Overland C&S number 71, there is one just listed on eBAy:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/255009017191?hash=item3b5fb8cd67:g:qP0AAOSwFMNgvoCX

Listed at $1,300.00, it has to be an all time high asking price for an unpainted Sn3 OMI locomotive!

[Doug Heitkamp]

Desperate is the right word. $1300 is crazy money for that loco. Oh well....Buyer Beware!

[Chris Walker]

I recall Caboose Hobbies on Broadway having an Overland custom painted/weathered C-18 in 0n3 for $1450.
That was Sept '98....funny thing is I ran into Doug at Caboose while there that day, haha!

[Todd A Ferguson]

If the value of money keeps going down I guess we should get more of that money for our goods including trains.  Unfortunately most brass is not a good investment...  PBL Foreground models were that much or more back then too...

Considering that it's probably from a coal-fired locomotive or stationary boiler, it probably was in a smoke-filled home at some point. The description also encourages people to ask questions. I'm tempted to ask about price, but "are you freakin' kidding me?" is as polite a question as I can come up with, and that still seems a bit rude. The starting bid is more than I paid for my first house or all ten cars I've purchased in my life combined. I assumed it was a typo since it's almost 100 times as much as the seller's next highest item, but it's been up for a few days now and hasn't been changed.

[Chris Walker]

I'm glad I'm done traveled as that 117,500.00 US D =164,525.39 NZ Dollars and is more than I ever spent on 10 trips to the US/Canada + my 2 acre property purchase combined.

[Steve Black]

The price is now down to $1,250 for the whistle

[nedsn3]

I love how some people put "happy bidding" when only one, or, depending on the sale price, maybe none of the bidders will be "happy".

For C&S folks living in Europe, there are a couple of Overland Sn3 locomotives just listed in Germany:

C&S B4-C number 60 with pilot plow: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294245986299?hash=item44826d6ffb:g:D0cAAOSwP25g13gX

C&S B3-B number 22. c.1918 (appears to be a 1st run--a fast runner):  https://www.ebay.com/itm/294245984940?hash=item44826d6aac:g:74AAAOSwqGVg13dp

Both are listed for 700.00 Euro, with 100.00 Euro shipping.  For the equivalent of about $950.00, you can have your locomotive imported, if you desperately want one.

My, how inflation has affected C&S brass prices!

[Doug Heitkamp]

"My, how inflation has affected C&S brass prices!"

Amazing! They are both now marked as sold.

Good Morning
Hope you are all well. There is an OMI 5 for sale in On3.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144102896008?hash=item218d33b188:g:dA0AAOSwOnVg42EQ
Just to understand: would this number be considered rare?
Have a good day
Christian

[Jim Courtney]

Yes, Christian, it is rare. Overland didn't import many of the early version of C&S number 5. Moreover, this is a one of a kind reworking and painting of the model. The Ridgeway spark arrestor and original tender would date the model to about 1918. I believe that the owner was inspired by this Otto Perry portrait of C&S 5 in Denver in 1918:




The headlight isn't quite right, looks like a modern electric headlight of Santa Fe heritage. And the model doesn't have the pneumatic sanders installed beginning about 1912.

This is what the stock O scale C&S 5 looked like custom painted:




But the listed model is nicely done, and is described as DDC installed. So an opening bid of about $700.00 seems quite reasonable.
