It appears that you're in luck then, as they seem to be sitting on a washing machine!  . Seriously though, $20 for those was a great deal. They look to be in nice shape

I went to a PA show yesterday and only bought a GP20 NYC non-powered engine, a Tyco red box caboose and a brown box mint Jell-O boxcar. I had to drive some distance so if I hadn't had other business in the area it would have been a very expensive day. It was fun to get out.
The show, first day,was packed and it was hard to get around but the HO sellers were less prevelent than before. It seems that the good stuff is on the Internet auction site any more

* Back from the Dover NJ train show.
* Went over to a dealer I know Gary, and got 5 items from him for $18. the log load is for a Crown heavy weight flat car. The caboose and the baggage car are Gilbert. The car in the box is a built up Ambroid Dynnommeter car. It has a very NYC looking caboose roof.
* A was looking into a box. this one. I saw 2 Lima English passenger cars and down a corrner a old mantua brass and cast bobber caboose. The dealer spoke to me and said I want to sell the whole box. I asked how much. he said $10. I said yes.
* Here is what is in the box for $10.
After that there was this other box.
I looked into it and seen a lot of Marklin track. there were 3 switches on top. proably more underneath. lots of track. Dealer said as i looked at it . That box will cost more. I said How Much is it. He said #20. I said yes, i'll take it.
I also found a couple of books for 10 each.
Thats all folks !

Ken : Their was a box with the Marklin power pack, bumpers, I think some cars, and other stuff. Dealer said he was waiting for a Marklin dealer to do what ever with. He never said who or when. I think my buy was leverage for a good price on the other stuff from this dealer of Marklin. he proably got a bad first price.
In track there were 34 straight, 26 curved, 9 assorted short ones, 3 right switches, and 4 left switches.
For $20. I think I did well.
