Athearn AMD-103 Metro North- NIB.
2- Tyco Amtrak F9. These are the two steps on each side variaition, Tyco Rio Grande Passenger Set, AHM Amtrak Caboose, Early TYCO Bobber Caboose.
Altlas U33C Penn Central- NIB, Atlas U36C SF, Bachmann Amtrak Truckster, Mantua Double Motor Amtrak f7/F9, Mantua GP-20 Amtrak, NIB, Mantua Erie Lackawanna GP-20. The Rivarossi Amtrak E-8 "B" Unit is actually powered.

| Are you sure you have room for all those trains? Those Rio Grande passenger cars look nice.

The two step Tyco F9's were made in the early 70's (I think) for a while. And in several road names. SF Pass, Amtrak and I have a BN that way too.
NYC- This is why I have storage. The Metroliner Dummy units and coaches are to sell on Ebay this week.
According to the owner at Nicholas Smith Inc., they some 250 cartons of Ho Trains to go thru.
What they were dumping/selling, was only the tip of the iceberg, they told me today.

| The F-9s with only two steps were made so that there were two less steps to break off if you dropped it.
