hello

I have been a tinhare fan for a long time and I was wondering how much would a cph railmotor sell for restored or not restored if you could get your hands one of cource.

Like most thing's Nosecone say's here, his guesstimate is exaggerated tenfold.

You could build one new for Nosecones prices.

For a non goer, I think if you started waving 50-100K bag of cash in front of Dorrigo or the RMS you would get a nibble.

Yes agree bugmenot, Nosecone has certainly got this head in the clouds.

Less than $50,000 would get you a complete one, although maybe not a runner.

If you want to restore it for operation, then I'm afraid you're going to have a hell of a lot of red tape to get past. The engine is probably going to cost you more than you paid for it in petrol, although it would make quite a talking point as a static display in your backyard. Wink

How many people do you know with a tin hare in their back yard? That makes it a talking point.

I know people have things like a former Sydney Red Rattler, or NSWGR passenger car, or Melbourne's Hitachi set in a backyard.

But a CPH railmotor, and putting it back to service is not a cheap and simple operation. Haven't seen a CPH out in the open before, nor have I heard of one out there either.

As 4426_No_2_End said, if you love CPHs, get yourself a set at Casula Hobbies. Or the HO model with "the works" will be available soon from Eureka Models. Laughing
