Sure - old Mantua/Varney/Tyco cast-metal steam locos or Bowser loco kits. I'm looking for Mantua/Tyco 2-8-2s, 2-6-2s, and Varney Ten Wheelers.

This show's coming to my area in two weeks. I'm gonna try to go, but I really hate driving into the city.
Hey microbusss.....you sure the show's coming to Denver? I don't see it listed on their site.

Nice finds, microbusss. Not so good here...I was going to go to a train show today, but it's 50 miles away and we're getting snow. We've already got a couple inches, and they're predicting anywhere from 6-10. So I decided to stay home.
Great Train Expo is coming next weekend, but I hesitate to get excited with all the snow we've been getting lately.
