El Capitain B-Unit Holy Grail?

Featured in the Lionel 2010 Signature Edition Catalog, this Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) B-unit PN 6-38204 was a one-year-only offering and was listed as road number 160 but does not have any actual road numbers on the unit. 

How did the simplest car in the El Capitan family become my holy grail? This car has no interior, no lights, no sound, and no power. But they must be fairly rare because I've been watching for a while and have not found a single one for sale on eBay. It might be time for me to start attending train shows.
