I had a good weekend about 10 days ago acquiring some hard to find Tyco items in excellent condition. I feel real lucky to get everything at the prices I did. Here are the pics from eBay since I'm too lazy at the moment to get the camera and dig up what I've already put away.
The first is definately the best deal because it was 5 bucks and it's the ever elusive Tyco Quaker Chemical Tank car. No box but that's ok, I finally got the car and it's in pretty decent shape. Two of the steps are broken but the identical frames from another car are an easy fix. I think this one flew under the radar because it was mis-listed as Life-Like. Eagle eye found it anyway.
Another hard to find item is one that I believe Alco Fan also just got his hands on. A Tyco Western Pacific Geep. This is my second one but I had to pick it up when it was still sitting there below $15. If only I can get my hands on one of those cabooses, terming that one rare is no stretch.
Last but not least I got a real good deal on a Tyco Coke Billboard Reefer. Item is spotless and came in a real nice original box.
