Hi all,
I have a few old "red box" era sets and other assorted stuff I am considering parting with (in order to make room for other train stuff). Anyhow, before I go through the hassle of figuring out how to post pics and whatnot, I was wondering if there would be any interest.
Thanks!

So I took a few quick pics with my phone. For the record, I haven't run any of these in ages and I'm really not sure of the current conditions! Further, although each picture is a "set" and is in the original box (in various conditions) I have NO idea if they include all the original components. Last thing, I'm not 100% sure I am going to sell them, so I'm just putting these up here in order to see if there is any interest!
I do have some more assorted pieces, but these were the easiest to photograph...

Nice stuff! Some of that could sell for decent money on eBay like the steamer or the B&O units. If you don't want to sell there I'm sure someone here will take them off your hands!

Totally interested in anything Tyco, especially "Red Box Era" stuff.

So my "downsizing" of train stuff kinda fell by the way side. I'm going to try to post items (probably later tonight) that I'm am looking to sell. If you're interested in any of it, please let me know! I'm not looking to make money, I really just want to get back what I paid (plus shipping). If you are anywhere near Maryland, we could for get the whole shipping thing!

Hey Chops,
Ya know, I hope there is not going to be any seller's regret! :) I really hate the fact that these awesome trains sit there unused in my basement. I'd rather have someone enjoy them, as they were meant to be enjoyed! If anyone is interested, PM me an offer and I'll be in touch...just be patient, my free time is dwindling by the moment! :)
Thanks!

Oh, and if anyone is within a reasonable drive from the Baltimore area, I would be willing to sell the whole lot for a reasonable price!

I know, Busss, isn't that set totally bomb? Don't see that one come around every day.
BTW, that Pacific Abides posted is absolutely mega bomb. I got one, used, out of box, and it is one of my smoothest, heaviest haulers ever. Anyone ever considering one, now is a great chance. I'd dive on it, but I can't use two.
In fact, all his stuffs are out of sight for the Tyco collector.

Hello, have you sold the UP passenger set yet? If not I'm very interested in it...do you have an idea of what you want for it?

Wow!
If GM wasn’t on strike I would have definitely thrown my hat in for that UP set!
That’s a really nice set. Whoever gets it should post a video and pictures of it running.

I have quite a few train cars still in their boxes that I want to display. Even on the 8X20 table I don't have room without crowding the stuff on. I want my train pieces to be on the table for display... I plan to add up to 6 inches on one side of my layout for this. Iknow that 40 -60 feet more of track will be room enough to satisfy this need....
