I don't think you paid too much really for this one...
Surprisingly, I find the the Horse Car & Depot Set does seem to sell for a bit more than the Cattle version...though I don't think either is rare by any means. Tony Cook HO-Scale Trains Resource http://ho-scaletrains.net

I agree , I dont think you paid too much either! When I first got into collecting Tyco ( 9 years ago ) the horse corral was only going for 10$ and now it has doubled. 10 years from now it will probly be going for 40$.All the Joe blows out there are buying these kits that are NSIB for their little johnny`s and then their legs all get torn off and it shown back up on eBay several years later in shambles and the seller stating that it is in VGC. A lot of the sealed in box kits are starting to get harder and harder to find, some more than others! A lone amature built the ark! A large group of professionals built the titanic!

I still have the U.P. Operating crane loader still in the shrink wrap and the Ore Dump Car set that appears to be used but not by me. Probably something someone gave me. If you know anyone that might be interested.

Yep, my first acessories were the log dump and gravel dump set from the red box era in the OB and the gravel still sealed in its bag! How much? $8 a piece! There fun to use on my set up. " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"
