up for trade. By piece or by the lot. Watcha got?
I am a sucker for British OO: Wrenn, Hornby. Love Tyco all day long.
Athearn BB!
All these are mint state NOS, never out of box.
All are dummies. All have horn hooks.
Cars by the piece or by the lot. Condition varies.

*Shark Master Drools*
I'll gladly take 2 NYC Sharknose B-unit dummies! In regards to trade items, I've got tons of track to spare, plus the Bachmann GP40 for parts....
Out of curiosity, what would your sale price be for just 1, with shipping?

I doubt, as nice as these fine old NOS pieces are, that I'd get $5 each on eBay for
them. This Model Power AB is listed at $10 plus $6 shipping right now. RP, I got
track up the whazoo, and I appreciate your offer, as you have done some great
sales, trades, and pointers (most recently the USA1 Kenny and the ATSF E60
which pulls her three Tyco ATSF coaches along so nicely), but I'd have to pass
on more track! I got enough to circle the planet!
Micro, you got stuffs up to the ceiling! How about a Marx box car, with wheels??

Chops,
How about $20.00, shipped, for 2 Model Power NYC Sharknose B-units (are they 100% intact?)

OK, which two do you want? Got PRR, UP, one BN, a bunch of NYC. All fresh in the box, I think they came
from a hobby shop in AZ that closed down, and to my knowledge they are as pure as the driven snow, er
never mind the UP, I got a plan for that one...

You got it, RP. I will send two NYC mint B's today. I will let you know what the economy shipping
is after I send them. Just deposit the amount to my Paypal under jmcneal61@hotmail.com.
Which one did you want Schaggy?
What's in the Varney box, oops, is a built up Varney caboose. It appears to have all its
bits, but the ladders were poorly installed, but could be refitted by right set of hands.
There is one zinc dummy coupler in the box, which I assume is original.

No worries, I know you're good for it.
I posted the rest on eBay. If someone still wants a last minute
trade, I've still got this stuff.
I'd really like to unload that box of AHM box cars. I really, really
doubt they will sell at any price, but would make an impressive
string for the right collector. They all need brake wheels
and trucks, though. They are AHM.
Micro! I'd love to give you that BN B unit, plus a spare digital
camera, if I can find the cord, so you can post again. Are u
sure you don't have a Marx, just one, you can spare???
Or, I'd take your Aerotrain, LOL.
I slipped off the shell of a dummy FA 1 and clipped it right
on a powered chassis I found in the lot. Got a real fine
CN FA 1 I can't wait to try out. That one is a keeper!

I'll see what I can do. Fixing couplers on Marx is out of my league, generally speaking, but
what Marx do you have?
I will look for the power cord. I got this little bitty HO sized "Cars" thingy I'll send your way.
It's pretty beat up, but still recognizable and is otherwise intact. PM me your addy again?

OK, so the Post Office managed to bash up one of the B units sent
to the Shark Master. A coupler got broke off, and some ladders.
They must have used it for punting, I can only imagine. Fortunately,
it was sent insured, so a refund is in the works. I wonder if they
include the cost of postage, which wasn't cheap either?
AHM couplers are difficult to replace and I am mad as a hop.
I've sent a lot of trains by USPS, many that I had to refund
because of extraordinary damage no how much dunnage
I included. What is up with these people???
I have another half dozen NYC B's, and I'd send the Shark Master
one, but they have already been bid on in eBay, and thus commited
elsewhere. I suspect the buyer will relist them individually. Who needs
a dozen B units??
Micro: I am putting together something for you. Rewinding after
a three day 12 hour a night graveyard shift. AND the AC motor
went kaphooey AND it's like a 100 degrees. Blech.
Nobody here or on eBay wants the big shells of the box cars. Maybe
I will try to convert one into an auto carrier for the Auto Train. Thoughts?

Yep...the USPS ruined one of the B-units -- thank goodness all the parts were still in the box so with a little bit of gluing I should be able to restore it. Luckily, I got 2 NYC Shark B-units, though.
You can certainly try to convert those into Auto-Train type cars, Chops....they kinda match. I like the shells, the only problem is, I do not have the chassis they would attach to, and really don't need another parts project at the moment, as I have tons of "self-inflicted" ones.
