Here is the latest eBay score, MIB Spirit of America set. It's missing the smoke box door and one passenger car is missing the brake wheel. I have both parts to fix it up, all this for 35.00 which included shipping!!

The cars show up at shows periodically.



I bought three of the vintage cars at various shows. Could have bought the steam engine. Was not interested.
