Nice Frank!
I guess to keep with your theme.. here is a Pocher set I picked up here locally for $10 from a guy selling stuff (for a living) from his garage..

The AHM set is a good buy. At $10 bucks, a real good buy. It looks to be in good shape. The car you are missing is the combine and maybe the easiest to find. Your roof types are both the old original Pocha, and the latter Rivarossi ones . Still they match perfectly and look great. The 2-4-0 is the Rivarossi one with the motor in the cab.

You almost literally stole that Pocher set for $10, man. I know a friend who got the single locomotive with the box for that much but here, I think you did better than he did.

Ben,
I bought them because they were $10, not because I wanted them. I figured, at that price I can't lose and if I flip them, I'll surely get close to $28 or more.

| Dig those old time cars. Sean, the way the lighting is in your photograph, maybe a bit of dust on the cars, I don't know, but it makes them look really great compared to how they look all shiny and plastic when you see them [much of the time] . . . even the trucks look metal.

Ok, here goes. Finally got my D&RGW passenger train together.
Locomotive power: Tyco/Mantua 4-6-0 in the Yellow scheme.
The rolling stock is Round House.
Baggage/RPO
Combine
Passenger/Sleeper
Business
Took a while to get them all, but worth it. Next week, V&T set.

All very good sets.
George,
Really like the D&RG set, MDC made some great old time passenger cars.

You got that right. I like my Pocher set that I have, but MDC had a lot more detail. I also have the Western & Atlantic and V & T sets from MDC with both Rivarossi and Mantua/Tyco locomotives to pull them. I will post those in the coming weeks.
George
