So Tinplate Henry brought in about a dozen, or so, of those fantasy tankers- you know,
the ones with the 6 axles and mystery hand rails? All of them new in box. I'm not crazy about collecting them, but if it was at a take-it-off-your-hands-price, I'd do it. I just don't love them at $10 a pop.
What is the retail on these things? Is there any market for these things?
Also he had a GN flat with three tractor trailer cab overs and a SF piggy back flat with two vans, both Tyco, both new in box. Also, a NIB 6 pack of Tyco automobiles. Also, a Durango search light caboose, NIB. Any value/market for these things?

Jeff, The Sohio 3 dome tankers bring a good price. The Union one will bring a bit more than the others. The Coke one sells decent (I think) The Gulf, Exxon, and Shell , doesn't bring much unless these have changed since I watched them closely...

Speaking of Trains from Hell: Tinplate Henry comes in
with a 3 pack of Hyvee's, one of which is the Maxwell
Hopper I've been looking for, forever. All NIB, $40.
Kaching. Then he waves three NIB Tyco Piggy Backs
with flats. Kaching! Then a NIB flat with Tyco
Cab-Overs. Kaching! Then a couple of Tyco NIB
Auto Loaders. Kaching! Like I need all this stuff
like a %#@$ hole in my %^*&$& head. Kaching!
When will this madness stop??? I can't seem to
resist.
It gets worse. The very next day I wander into this
pricey little model train shop in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
There sits a @#$^@$% Tyco Piggy Back unloader,
complete in box. So where the %#$%#! am I going
to fit a !%##$@^@$# Unloader??? Kaching!
