I went to the link and IMHO this seller has a highly inflated value of his train. You have a starting point for $19.5K and will spend a small fortune making it operable .

He's dropped it to $14.6k.....but I really have no idea about what 7.5" gauge trains might be worth......I mean, who has 7.5" gauge track? And, how is this powered?

There's an O scale T3a listed as well, but it's in "as is" condition. Intriguing but no info on drives in it and whether any of them actually function. W/o those, it's a very expensive paperweight.

No idea of the value either. I loved these ride on trains as a small child and I've loved model trains since I was a small child 5-6 years old. But owning one of these to ride on as an adult seems to be wasting a lot of $$$. But, if we were all the same the world would be boring.
