Starting off this weeks SOTW, I have not one, but TWO mostly-identical sets. My boss didn't have any interest in selling these at his shop, so I scooped them up for $7.50 each.  My first real narrow gauge operating train(s). Thinking about using them on one of my HO train show modules I'll (eventually?) get to creating. Anyway, one is boxed as a ROCO, the other as an AHM. Minor color differences in the dump cars, but engines are identical and numbered the same,too. Missing one ore car in one set, but otherwise both are in great shape.

You got those for cheap, that's for sure! Fantastic find!  I got one of the new reissues of those by BCH Minitrains, and one of the original locos. If you're looking to replace that missing car, try looking in bins of N-scale parts at shows - I've had some luck doing that, found 2 log cars and 2 of the square-bottom dump cars.

Nice set, Mustangs. They appear to be in great condition too.
