The Bunker Hill Train club is having their annual fall train show/flea, from 10 AM - 4 PM. Held at the Ranson Civic Center in Ranson, WV near Inwood and Martinsburg. Usually a small but nice show packed with lots of train deals. If you search the Internet for Bunker Hill and train show, you'll find references.

I need a better price breakdown and description. Put it like this : " I want N gauge in the following " - Coaches will pay up to $10 each Engines will buy up to $40 each In NJ Transit and SEPTA roadnames only (I'm assuming N gauge here )
Remember you have to pay for shipping. And I still have to lug around the 50 lb Microbusss Want List, too.

The show went well today, was in a much bigger venue than previous years, even had 3 modular layouts set up. I found many good deals, and spent my budget on HO there in about 4 hours. Some cool finds were a mantua B & O steam engine, kinda purple and silver. A couple Tyco and Mantua anniversary cars, 50th and 75th. Found 3 play-art cars, even a passenger version. The Magnolia triple-dome, triple-axle tanker is a copy of Tyco's unit, except for the Playart name moulded in, it's almost exact rivet for rivet. Here's some pics of my finds.

Some choice pieces here, many around $2-3 each.

Some complete, and some Tyco pieces, of accessories and buildings. Tyco pieces were 50 cents each ( ramps, etc. )

Some neat engines, including the Life-Like Baker's GP38-2, which is not in the TycoTripod reference website. Found one other Baker's engine online at another auction site, but that's the only reference I see to it anywhere. In pretty nice shape, overall.
The Ecto-1 Caddy was a nice find, $10, I think I'll ebay it, might pay part or all of my train expenses this weekend. original 1984 plastic model, dirty but complete, I think.
Overall a great day at the train show.
