Bought the following items at a train show over the weekend. Most happy about the 100 Tim Mee and Marx soldiers for only $2.00. The ICG was $15.00. Been picking up mini Tonka when I see tham and got 2 more this weekend.

Sunnyswarehouse... she used to sell at my local train show. All Bachmann, but she claims not to be affiliated with them. She had huge cartons of Bachmann cars like that and damaged old-time 4-4-0's for $1 apiece.

That one you can see from the other photo it needs a lot of cleaning. I'll put a photo of another here. I do have a few. It is a Pennsy A5 switcher. This is a plastic version with a die cast frame and plastic tender. John English the parent company made the same model in die cast. Bowser made a super detailed model also in deicast.
With the Bachmann stuff you should buy three or four and make a couple with the parts.

Thanks for that info, Frank. I haven't seen one before. Interestingly enough, from the little I can see of the motor it looks like a PM-1 clone.

Hi Frank. On the Rivarossi truntables, Take the control shed cover off and check the Motor gear drive for zinc rot. This was a common problem with Rivarossi turntables. I have two and seen others with this problem. Hope yours are good. Carl
