Wow, this ends this Easter Weekend. Up to $461 last time I checked Saturday morning. Whew! Complete set with box, though.

I found one car at an antique show for $8, got it, then this past Christmas I found the engine, minus front boiler plate and cab, and bought it and a whole lot of HO for $40. So just need the Combine to complete my own set. But I think on the show itself, they only ran one car, not two.

The contents of the Petticoat Junction Set are not that hard to find. Finding the set in like new to mint condition is. The set on ebay is in less than like new condition and not worth $461.
This is a closer to like new condition set. There are issues with the set box, but everything is there.
