I attended the Maurer auction today at Pottsville, PA. There were two auctions, one focusing on Lionel Tinplate and another with 550 lots of HO. I was amazed at the amount of older HO. The prices were a fraction of the usual e-bay prices. There were a few crisp boxed sets and they did sell at a premium price. I did buy some BLI and Proto 2000 locos and well as some newer items. Here are my Mantua-Tyco buys! Enjoy!

Rickey; you.ve done your one stop shopping for a very nice Tyco-Mantua 1965- early 1975 collection. Don't be surprised if the Buss oggles your finds. Especially the Rio Grand set.
* Really nice Tyco trains.

Some great finds there, Ricky! You did well. I always enjoy the past era / vintage HO more than many of the modern era makers. Oh, it's great to have a nice smooth Athearn runner, but the character of the old Mantua, Varney, Penn line is hard to ignore for someone like me. COngrats on your fine "new" trains.

Can't find a one.

After this job is over and I get back home. I'll go through everything and put together a list of items for sale. Chops,I'm sure I have extra DRGW cabooses I can sell you. I'm sure I'll pick up many, many more trains over the next couple of months. I never pass up a good deal. Ebay is fickle as far as older HO, it's either way overpriced or really low priced.

Yes, two of them. All the loose passenger cars (Not in a set) were in a flat for one money.
