I'll trade a Siamese cat with a bad attitude and a propensity for destroying model trains, if you want.
Let me know how Evilbay goes, I can't give away some of my stuffs, except to Microbusss, and he wants to be PAID.
Just what the Tyco Community needs: another BN box car. Give them to Micro. He'll take an empty beer can as long as it says TYCO on it.

I am boxing up my cat as we speak. For this I want at least TWO BN box cars. I am leaving out the air holes.
Actually this is dangerous: I already have 32 NH Tyco box cars...what about a GREEEEEEEEEEEEN train...
Actually, I only have about 25 or so Penn Central cars of various descriptions, but not in THAT color green. One of them is from a trade with Micro....
Aaaaaaugh!!!!!! I feel the tentacles of the Slippery Slope!!! Must...not...think...about...green, must....concentrate... on...on...PINK PACIFICS!!! Aaaaugh! Can't help it, can't help it! Somebody stop me, before it's TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!

I see you finally got your Crescent Limited. I think you were looking for one for a while. Are you SURE they wouldn't go well with those BN box cars?
I ate some chocolate and my wild urge to own 10,000 green BN boxcars has subsided.
Not one nibble on my stuffs posted on Evilbay. Probably have to leave it up there for a year. Hope I don't come to find the cat broke them.

As long as it doesn't have a maple leaf on it I should be safe- for now. I almost popped on that Lionel Canadian Confederation set, and I usually hate the "States" box cars. Go figure.
Between my taxes and health insurance premiums I am nearly bled to death. Might as well immigrate back to Canada. I'll join the local TH&B historical society and life will be good. And frozen.

 Here is the cat in question, sleeping with my new Tyco hoard from MoparRocker74. He is jealous that I am paying attention to it, so laid down on it. He is shedding badly. Would this affect the BN box car trade?

Alright, since you won't take my cat, will you take $10 for the lot?
I got some Life Like Circus Cars, lighted, in very good condition if you're interested. No boxes, but undamaged with good graphics.
Consider a trade? I will include excess cat hair gratis. You could knit yourself a nice scarf for those Atlantic winters.

Why do I think you're on Prince Edward Island??? Are you anywhere near LeClaire? One of the few things I watch on a semi-regular basis.
I must be confusing the "I" with Island Trains. My mistake. But, yeah, I'm at work right now until late, but I will dash up some photos of the Life Like vintage circus coaches. Yellow with orange roofs. The interior lights work fine.
I will tell you the coupler centering "springs" are a bit jenky on one of them and could use to be replaced, but they are functional.
My primary interest would be in the freight car lot ("moar stuffs") if you find this vintage coaches of interest.
I'll cut you some detailed pics tonight or Monday.
What do I do? Oh, I'm in charge of watching nuclear fuel rods like Bart Simpson. No worries. We haven't had a release of radio-active steam for at least three or four weeks now.
Are you SURE you don't want some cat hair? The missus could knit you a fine pair of mittens for those Iowa winters.

I've got some quality stuffs sitting on Fleabay for months, now, and I've slashed the prices to the point of hemorrhage. Seriously, these coaches were only run on Sundays by a little old lady in tennis shoes.

Oky doky, here's what I DON"T particular wants, you can keep the two swifts and the reading hopper. The rest I wants. Here's what you gets. Sorry about the focus, my camera is wearing out. PLEASE PLEASE take some Claritin, Zyrtec, whatever, and TAKE MY CAT (juuuust kidding).  I think I'm offering up a pretty good deal here, Iowa. These cars retail at $15 to $20 a whack on Ebay. I got the original boxes for these, also, I think.

OK then, I think we gots a deal. PM me your address. So THIS lot, minus the two swifts and the Reading hopper. The rests I want for my bomb a** tanker train, the gon for my mile long gondola train, the stock car for my stock train, and the Green BNSF box cars for my new green train. But I gather you have already parlayed off the caboose. Oh, well, they should be a dime a dozen. The Virginia hopper just cause I don't have one, and I want to do a photo shoot closely following the 1972 Tyco Expander Manual.
And the cat. That HAS to go (joking, he is my foot warmer).
