This what I found...


 And a shimmering wall of Tyco...
 What appears to be an AHM flat with a Masseratti. Did AMH do this?
 NOS F
 A case full of odd ball stuff in great shape. Some cheap, some a bit too retail for my taste. Lot of Matchbox construction stuff from the '60's.
 Row after row of Tyco ATSF box cars with a few loose gems @ $5. I'd be more of a player at 5 for 5 on the ATSF box cars, myself. Thinking of Micro, who collects these ubiquitous pieces.
 A Cox piece. I wonder if any motorheads would be interested in trading for this?

Bill is not on eBay, FYI.

SOOOOOOO The shop is in the "woods"? Was that a abandoned shed house or box car?
Had to get some land fill once and as it was being sifted and flattened a fishplate surfaced (No pun intended)

I think that shed was some kind of pump house, probably for city, I'm guessing a Public Works Project, for the town of Ruidoso. The rotten floor boards probably cover up a well head.

Nifty train store, Chops. I too thought it was somewhere in the woods!
There was a local train store in my area, but they closed and moved away. Nothing beats the experience of being in the store and seeing all the displays and holding the train in your hand. The web is nice, but lacks the hands on effect. Not sure where I'll eventually move to, but I'm hoping there will be a train store in town.

If it's 50 cents it would be more than you would want to pay.

The Pledge was $5. I told him to try to get $10 for them. I got one, but I don't see them that often out here. We don't have those made train shows like back East, unless I'm up for a 500 mile drive.

 Had this a while back, and traded up for a Playcraft, which I rather more enjoyed. Did the Scottie's ("Stronger when wet") come with that JW set?

I think the Amtrak Tyco went for some absurd price, $75, but I hardly glanced at it. Maybe $25. I like Amtrak, but not at that price.
