I'm looking for the ramp from the Tyco piggyback flatcar set, and also looking for tyco trailers, flatcars, and trucks. I am building a trailer terminal on my layout and need TOFC equipment.
I would preferably trade as I have many unwanted items around and not to much cash to spend on trains.

Too bad you don't live in Socal. Pegusus hobbies in upland has a new in the box set with the ramps, trailers and car. In fact, I bought a UP set this weeked for 15 bucks. Hard to believe that some shops still sell new tyco off the shelf.

Wow! That is a nice find. I know some stores sell new tyco, but they are very hard to find.

Well they have been around for a while and rarely markdown their stuff so definitely new old stock. They even have some powertorque engines new in the box! I love their mix of old and new stuff. Probably the best hobby shop in So Cal.

You might want to give them a call. I believe the set you wanted was 30 bucks sealed in the box. I am sure they will ship it to you. It was still there Saturday when I went.

Thanks for the link. Finding the set isn't a big deal, it's on ebay for about 15 bucks sealed, but I was just wondering if someone had just the ramp. Thanks.

Yeah, finding the Santa Fe Depot set is not hard to do. Seems like Ebay always has several on there that vary in condition...
I plan the Tyco Truck Terminal to be used on my layout with some truck around it...
