Warning - this post is the result of my brain wandering late at night at work, so it may or may not make sense! I am lucky enough to have 2 live steam locos - an Accucraft Mortimer and a Roundhouse Silver Lady, both manual control. I have posted on here about struggling with the Silver Lady - if I had to choose a loco for looks it would be the Silver Lady, for running its the Mortimer. I think a lot of this is the extra length of the Silver Lady, it must give more friction on Radius 2 curves and so needs more power, resulting in running away on straights. I was contemplating either adding radio control to her (approx £200) or selling her to fund a coal fired DJB Ragleth or Riverdale Irene (both 0-4-0 so hopefully less friction etc on curves). The question is of resale value of the Silver Lady, manual, FR victorian maroon, painted tank tops, firing irons added, slight scuff to one side but generally in really good condition and just serviced by Dave Mees. I know that it will depend on who wants it, how much they would pay etc, but a ballpark figure would make the finance maths easier! Also I would feel happier selling it to someone who had seen it rather than blindly on Ebay, how might I go about that? Any ideas etc gratefully received, should this ramble have made any sense!!
