I have an idea. Can we all share our lists, in one thread here, of items we're trying to find, so that we can help each other find things faster? I know there's plenty of folks here looking for, say, rare or unusual Tyco, US-1, etc etc items, which I might not have any interest in myself, but I might come across them in my travels to swap meets, flea markets and such, and I'm perfectly happy to snag things for people seeking them as long as I know what everyone's looking for. Say, we each post the things we're looking to buy, and perhaps a budget range if applicable to save people from dealing with overpriced stuff from sellers who don't know what they're doing.
I'll start off with all the things I'm looking for these days. Some of these may be easy enough to find on ebay but I tend to avoid ebay whenever possible.
-Authenticast Dump Car (assembled car, unbuilt kit, doesn't matter, it just annoys me I can't find one)
-Lindsay "Stubby" Plymouth Switcher
-Lindsay parts: Globe F7 power truck conversion kit MOUNTING BRACKET, frame/mechanism for a PA1 and an NW2
-Devore dynamometer car
-Any Railmaster/Utah Scale Models freight cars, built or unbuilt
-Ulrich triple hopper, B&LE (black)
GOOD LUCK finding a photo of that!
-metal 40' boxcars/reefers in State of Maine red-white-blue (Athearn, Varney, etc. will do)
-Varney metal 40' boxcar, NYC pacemaker
-Union Railroad of Oregon 50' modern boxcar (Athearn, Bev-Bel, or Roundhouse)
-Copper Range 40' boxcar (Accurail might have done one but I can't find it?)
-AHM 3-bay covered hopper, B&O (last roadname to complete the set!)
-Athearn 50' ext post boxcar, Lehigh Valley
-Athearn 42' Chemical tank car PLATFORMS with the four handrail stanchions intact, as many as possible
-Handrails for Athearn Trainmaster and end handrails for a Bachmann H16-44 (black)
-All the add-on parts for an Athearn SW1500 (the accurate one from the 90s, I found a Conrail one for like $5 at the flea market but with all the handrails, brake cylinders etc. never installed)
-Anything non-new-production painted for the New Hope & Ivyland or the Lake Superior & Ishpeming
Please tell me if you find any old Red Ball kits, the weirder the better. If I don't have it, I might want it.
Oh and if anyone is seeking Bowser parts for steam locos etc, I know THE hookup, just shoot me a PM.

But as I look and seek will list what I have and What I do not
For starters Talgo Tyco trucks Got a few I could spare
Trestle sets Almost all brands complete and otherwise
15 radius curves brass and steel complete circle and otherwise
Tyco Crossing gate parts mostly ornamental such as buc lights lever arems thouug broken could be put together for something

RP--I have that US Steel crane and flatcar! The little flatcar load pieces are gone but otherwise it's complete and might even have a box somewhere around here. I have no use for it. I'll send you a PM once I've found it!
