Looking at the Bachmann's 0-4-0 Side Rod Gas Mechanical in On30 after seeing a conversion kit for it. I know the prices in the Bachmann catalog are inflated compared to what the products can be purchased at near anywhere, but why is the Davenport set at $110 while the 0-4-0 steam powered Porter is set at $75? There's a lot more detail and parts on the steam Porter. The only big differences I see is that the Davenport is DCC equipped and has a diecast construction. Is that why the cost is so much higher?
Also, since the cab would be tossed for the conversion cab, is there any resale/eBay value to the stock cab?
Can't believe I'm looking at more locos when I haven't even started a layout yet.
