The week prior I lost on eBay a pair of TYCO Stewarts skid flat cars; they went for $109. I wasn't too mad, I was also bidding on a Martel' / Ganuardi Super market car; I also lost that, it went for $75. Then, on Easter Sunday, bored I went on eBay and seen this two for $110 with the box. I jumped at them with the quickness. It goes to show that when God closes one door, he has something better behind another one.....

Just when I think I've seen every Tyco ever made,
something like this pops up. Fabulous collection
GG1. I am choking with jealousy. Micro is probably
jumping up and down on his hat. The Frankford
Quaker is not only exceptional, it is a study in
orange. Love it.

It is true that God does not close one door without opening another, but
