Hi. I am a teen, and am new to this forum. Currently, I have a giant collection of trains in nearly all scales. Of interest to the Tyco fans, I have examples of each of the 4 different Tyco turbo trains, all in at least very good condition, but unfortunately none of the ramps and stuff. If anyone wants more info on them or some pics of the slot-car beauties, just leave a reply. (none are the ones that ride slot-car track)
Also, thanks to all who post on this forum for all the info,
D.J. (Yeah, I'm "that kid"... Deal.)

| Welcome to the forum, good to see a younger member with an interest in Tyco. I envy that you have all four, much less one of the Turbos. I keep my eyes peeled at swap meets and train shows but I haven't found any worth buying, their shells usually being split.

I got lucky. BIN on eBay. Got 'em all for $50 plus s&h. There is some kind of cracking or something on the chrome of one train, and some wearing of the graphics on the white one. The TT yellow was missing a contact, but at a local show I bought what was a junk lot of three random cars listed as junk, but the motor of one worked, so I just switched it out. I will try to post pix as soon as I can.
Thnx for the input,
D.J. (Yeah, I'm "that kid"... Deal.)

That's great, now I have to wear a helmet when I go to sleep, so gee thanks  ... Anyways, I'm sorry it is taking so long to post pictures, my camera stinks, and my computer not only has what might be "corrupted drivers", but is overall just pissing me off. Nonetheless, pix will be here, soon... but don't hold your breath...
P.S.- I'll make sure the ones for the SF freight one are as good as I can get  .

Well, MM, maybe you should talk to Cheez about it, for he's much better at hunting down this kind of stuff, I just get lucky a lot... ...well, except for when I don't...
(P.S.-sorry for the bad picture quality, that's the best I can take!)

Oh, and how's this? http://cgi.ebay.com/TYCO-SUPER-TURBO-TRAIN-WITH-DAREDEVIL-JUMP-SUPER-FAST_W0QQitemZ120385814104QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item120385814104&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
-Honestly, now I am just looking for the ramps, jumps, the orange pier set from the freight train, and the slotcar pack, and other accessories and special tracks from the sets, for I only got the trains, so I just have to watch eBay for a while, I just need to find one, they show up all the time... (sorry for the rambling)

I've never understood that. I'd rather just pay more for the product. Then again, they are shipping the whole set box, which I THINK is pretty big, right?

...Oh, and I forgot to mention, last time they had a show here in NJ, they had a vendor selling TONS of shells and parts and stuff, and a few complete trains, where I got some parts to repair my yellow TT. If someone needs some parts, I might have what you need...
