Making Bank Engines - November 5th

If you're not familiar with bank engines, they're used to help trains up steep passes that take them to new heights. The five model trains featured in this article might not be bank engines by definition, but they would certainly elevate any collection to a new level of impressiveness.

What that means is that these five trains are the most valuable items currently for sale on the DASH Marketplace, and each of them would make your collection even more jaw-dropping than it is already. These five trains and sets will wow anyone who sees them, and could even help you make bank as an investment.

5. Lgb 20892 Sumpter Valley Mallet Steam Loco

Price: $ 711

This train might have a little wear and tear, but G Scale beauties like this one don't come around every day. It would improve any display case with its giant size and slick black coloring, not to mention wowing any history buffs that wandered by it.

4. Lionel 2373 Canadian Pacific F3 Aa Diesel Locomotives

Price: $ 773

This gorgeous pair of Lionel locomotives will leave most railroaders speechless. They are almost 60 years old, and represent Lionel's first foray into foreign territory with a premium diesel. Because they weren't particularly popular and were only manufactured for a single year, they're now incredibly rare and alluring for collectors.

2. Lionel 6414 Evans Autoloader with Kelly Green Automobiles (Extremely Rare) EX

Price: $ 800

You might be wondering why this seemingly-simple car is one of the most valuable items on the entire marketplace. It's because of its load's vibrant green color, which was a specific variation that currently makes it very hard to find. It's about as unique as a car can get, and sure looks nifty too!
