I hit up a "Model Train Flea Market" this morning. The show gets set-up for about four hours once-twice a year. It's just a bunch of people who rent tables and sell mostly used trains. Here are the pieces I got today:
Tyco CN streamliners. The bodies are in nice shape and the interior wiring is intact. They'll need a little work to bring them back to how they should be. All of the roadnumbers are different than my other Tyco CN cars which is nice. Also picked up the Tyco A-Team caboose I'd previously been missing. 
Vintage LifeLike shrub kit. Paid a looney for it. It'll probably go on my wall as a display piece.
Canadian Pacific Railway engineer's handbook dated 1951. Another dollar, another display piece...
Tyco NH C430. Motor runs but I can't get it to run on track. Hopefully an easy fix.
Two 1960's Tyco F-units. The CN has a mismatched sideframe and the Pennsy is missing the fueltank. Both shells are in excellent shape. Also two Mantua CP streamliners (50's era, I think).
N scale Great Northern passenger set. The B-unit and top car need new trucks. $35 for the whole set seemed like a steal to me.
I'm sure there will be some more scenic pictures in the OTW threads!

| Thanks Ken! The passenger cars are ConCor. The engines just say "Made In Japan", but I think they are Kato. Some quick research showed Kato made PA1 models for ConCor. I'll get some better pictures for you!

CHeez...
geeze, GN didn't have PA's... but yours looks good.
I've got a matching sleeper and diner to your Canadian Pacific cars... both are well lighted as well... and Kadee'd.
Interested? I am a Pennsy fan, too.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

John, only the GN set is N scale. The Rapido cars are 1960's era Tyco.
Other John, I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore N scale, but that GN set really caught my eye! Your CP cars have peaked my interest...I'll send you a PM!
