Other than the PT and MU2 and 2 tyco engines I posted for sale in Trading Place, I also acquired the following Tyco pieces:
Two of these are posted for delayed sale, the others I'm keeping for now. I really LIKE the Rock Island shark, I'll have to get a rear truck for it, or see if one of the ones I bought last night fit. These are some of the few Tyco engines I've bought, usually I don't buy Tyco, I've never liked the individual trucks, and non-frame design. I've pretty much bought Athearn, Bachmann, Lifelike, and some others, but never Tyco deliberately ( well, I DID buy those Bicentennial's over the last few years, the C430 / 4301 model ). But not to run as operational trains. I will try these to see how I like them as runners.
Here's some non-Tyco engines I got, Lionel, Revell, Lindsay, AHM, and an unknown :
I plan to keep all these for now. All of the motors ran in them, too. My Buddy has a great junk collection, he just doesn't care much for the toy variety of trains, so I really cleaned him out last night of some fair runners, nothing pristine, but stuff I didn't have, and liked.
Here's some pics of the older Tyco MU2 motors and trucks I got, these I'm keeping for now, may part with some later.
I got a pretty good haul of Tyco and other stuff for a fair price, I think. I'm satisfied with it.
So, now to start playing around with it. :) Let the fun begin!

| Nice Jerry - you can put an MU2 in the Rock Island as i have done it - requires a little modification on the rear truck which you can see how i done under Tyco motive power - Brian
