I put them on Fleabay. No one's biting. Every item has a "make an offer" option.




 More items and pictures on ebay ad. I'm listed under "Chops124". You also have my personal promise that every item listed is in great condition and works perfectly. My only reason for selling is to prune back my overstock and attempt to focus on Tyco and British OO. If you have any British OO for trade, I would be interested. I will trade generously for a Tyco Straphanger Set with or without the trollies, or cash.

Under "Chops124." Thing is a real beauty, but it was an impulse buy and now I'm regretting it. It had some zinc rot, but my professional model rail artist friend, I mean "fiend," fixed that up real nice with an epoxy bath, so it should outlive all of us by many decades.
I ran it at a show, it got a LOT of attention. Being trying to sell it on Ebay to no avail, now I'm just trying to get my money out of it.
It dates to late 1950's, but by any standard it is fine running and nicely detailed, for the age. You won't find this one easily, they rarely come up, and when they do, it is a full on restoration project. The vestibule is in perfect condition, and in any other specimen it would be gone or rotted.
This one looks like it got run once and put away. I suspect the weight the modeler put in it is a piece of granite rail ballast, from the looks of it. The weight is exactly right and she will easily pull a short string of coaches up any reasonable grade. Very nice low speed characteristics.
I listed shipping as $15, but added a note that I would refund the overage or if it costs more than that, I will eat the difference. Should you want it, do you want the refund in cash inside the container, or Paypal?
