I wonder if "buy it now" for almost $600.00 is worth it. I really dont know how rare there cars are.

They would have sold for $620 for the pair plus about another $60 for shipping. If my memory serves me correctly, there where about 100 of the observation coaches made but I think there were nearly double of the standard coach.

I believe that these sold for around $130 each on Hartland's site up until a year ago.

Thank you very much for the info. I am pretty new to collecting Disney railroad related items and appreciate the pricing info.

Hi Guys,

I own both the basic and observation coach. They sold for $295 and $395, $30.00 each for shipping, and yes I believe had a limited run of about 100 each. They are beautiful. See my display below.

Looks like the coach sold fast for $595.00 and the base coach already has a $395 bid.

I've got the engine also but have not displayed it yet.

I bought mine on the first run, 1 coach @ $150 and 1 observation at $175 plus shipping. I have heard that they lost money on the first batch. I'd love one more coach but the price was more than I had squirreled away on the second run. There were improvements though.

Hi Jazzfan..

Yes I think the lights on the first run were by battery. The new ones are track powered.

Really stunned by the price this guy is getting on eBay.

Have not seen any Lilly Belle Accucraft electrics for awhile. I thinkI got the last one listed on eBay.

yes the lights are battery on mine and the end platform bridges on one end is fixed down and the other end is hinged. new cars have both ends hinged. easier to couple.
