Hey all -
I have a dilemma. Have a Boston&Maine 3243 engine with NYC-Hudson River passenger cars on order. As a “put-together” set, will it be worth any less than if it had an NYC Engine and Tender? Dealer says since they come out of different boxes, they would be sold off separately and wouldn’t make a difference. My instinct tells me that an N
YC engine pulling NYC/Hudson River passenger cars would overall be more salable as a coordinated set.
Any thoughts / comments appreciated!
Thanks!

I don't think the B&M every pulled those cars?
Why you thinking about resale already?
Why didn't you get the NYC Atlantic 4751?
Same price?
