Mehano (I think) Coke Train Set. I picked this off eBay, I just a bid a dollar
more than asking, just out of curiousity, then found out I won the blasted
thing at $51. Factory sealed, I ran it about a bit, and then the locomotive started
to choke up and I was ready to throw it over the garden wall. Took it apart,
sparingly oiled it, cleaned its contacts, and she runs terrific, again. Only when
people started to offer me $ for did I peversely not want to let it go! Guess
I am becoming a hoarder, or as Mike and Frank would say, "a collector."
Though if someone wanted to give up a NOS Trix Der Adler, I might consider
a trade...
Here she is in full glory:

 ! Mike! And if it makes you feel better, Micro, you have at least a dozen things I'd
rob a bank for!

A teacher at the school I go to just got this. 3-rail HO Marklin set. He bought a ton of Marklin track, for pennies on the dollar, and then realized normal HO trains won't run on it. So he picked this up at the Greenberg Train SHow in Wilmington, DE on Saturday.
