RE: [CBQ] $1999 CB&Q whistlepost

Hi All,

Rupert's post regarding this type of post made absolute sense, and Gerald's
post here is completely appropriate.  Let's start using the Subject tag that
Rupert suggested "Lemon aid" for caveat emptor posts.

BTW - I just posted a photo in the Yahoo! Photo Album of an authentic CB&Q
Whistle Post Sign Pattern from the Murray Iron Works Foundry located next
door to the West Burlington Shops for comparison.

  Currently there is an alleged Burlington whistle post on eBay for nearly
$2000. I won't discuss the price as that is obvious! It's cast metal & 250#
BUT is not CB&Q despite Seller doing 'research' Turns out their research was
going to Railphotos and the whistle post section where indeed this style can
be found in a photo in front of a nice shiny red/white CB&Q diesel. Problem?
Recently taken @ Illinois Railway Museum!
  Lesson learned: a Seller whether at a RR show, eBay, on this list, etc may
indeed in good faith believe 'x' is CB&Q and rare but due diligence will
save you $$$!
