Okay I won this not factory but custom set last night on ebay! I was looking for a good christmas present for my dad to get me like I do every year and I was already set on a Union PAcific 0-6-0T but then my buddy John Minor showed me this on ebay with only 8 hours to go left, was $50 with no bidders!! It's an all Roundhouse custom set, SSW or Cotton Belt line, it features a 4-4-2 Atlantic with auxilary tender, and 5 matching Daylight scheme coaches!! I can't believe no one challenged me!! First christmas gift knocked down. The 2 other items I plan to get are from ModelTrainStuff.com
These are the auction photos
 here's the engine consist
 observation
 coach
I buy, repair, and collect

$50 for that set was a steal!
A few years ago I ran across a poorly listed set of Tyco ACL cars. Two coaches and an observation with a $20 BIN. I was pretty excited. When they arrived, not only were they near mint, there was a combine in the box!
eBay is a strange place, ain't it? XD. Anyway, here is my SotW

That is the only way to buy! Patience and a good eye is all it takes!
Unfortunately, this is the other side of the three cars on the far right. Two are ~total losses on this side and the third has a small blister of rust in the middle at the top:
I have a feeling I will be paying as much to repair or replace these as I did for the entire lot, but then again, patience is how I try to live by when it comes to these. I may find replacements by then.
