hi i have just come off ebay uk,and can state there is not one loco listed for sale in uk,which makes me believe that they only sold in limited amounts,either bad marketing by tyco,or everybody here is hoarding them,you are certainly lucky,as the price they fetch there is pennies at moment,but it will not stay that way i can bet,ken
just seen 2 tyco golden eagles listed on ebay usa today one boxed mintish and one unboxed for $4.95 you lucky people you

Ken:
Your observations are correct, my friend. Our collecting cup runneth over with vintage HO at bargain basement prices. If you could only attend a few model train shows and swap meets here you'd even get a better sense that these are "the green and salad days" of collecting American-made vintage HO. On the other hand, I just can't seem to locate an example of that New York Central Hudson Graham Farish exported to the US fifty-long years ago--I've been seeking that "white whale" for over twenty years...
