Welcome to the forum.

Your prices tend to be a bit enthusiastic, you're selling items that had their day some time back. Technologies have pretty much left them in the dust. Your Bachmann Class "J" is an especially notorious model in that they used a plastic in their drives that would crack---even when new in box. You might want to test drive that before you put your rep on the line.

Consider getting opinions on them in the future from forums like ours before you post them on Ebay.

I have a J-Class from Bachman, but it is the Spectrum(road #611). They made the needed changes in that series of engines. (yep, they fixed the drive problems). I've had it in for repair for the smoke unit, the ONLY problem I've had with that engine. It is delegated for passenger train duty as is its stable mate the #609, another Spectrum.

One thing I have noticed is that when I added traction wheels to the engines, how much performance increased as far as pulling power. Turned a good engine into a "hoss".
