Walt, you light up my life !

In that we are created in His image, we are thus mini-creators.

Whilst certain species of the great animal kingdom have creative
bents,
http://www.viralforest.com/bower-bird/
it is humanity that seeks to create for the sheer joy of it. We
are not descended from lung fish or shrews, that I can tell, and
I've read and seen everything on the subject of evolution I can
get my hands on. (By this thread of logic we are descendants
of Trilobites and before that, coral).

The cat, my alter ego, hence the moniker "Chops," is a brat.
Sometimes he sleeps on my head, sometimes my feet.
Sometimes he craves affection, sometimes he jumps
on the mantle piece and dashes family heirlooms to the
floor. Sometimes he massages my legs with his paws,
other times he flips his tail into the air in a universal
gesture of contempt and stalks off. Once, he left me
a dead, rotten pigeon under my bed, presumably as
an offering.

Back to Tyco , my own tastes run to the nostalgic and home spun.
While I do have a few projects where I try to project a more
photo real aspect, I have much more interest in the home spun
projects found herein as that it is a form of folk art. And folk
art is a deep journey to soul.

Keep it coming, Walt, your posts are always inspirational!

Did you read Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew? She ends up getting married, so while nothing is said about whether she eventually has children, it is quite possible that she did and that someone, therefore, is descended from a shrew.

You gotta point there!

There is a hypothetical argument out there that
if you put a jillion monkeys in front of a jillion typewriters, sooner or later
one will accidentally replicate the transcript of Hamlet. It would seem that
such a statistical odd would exceed pi.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! The prices go up, up, up, up, and then
down, down, down, down, down. Bill Gates must already have this
one- it didn't sell at reserve, didn't sell at all. I was watching it
just out of idle curiousity. BTW, those Tyco 6 axle tankers track
nice, and what I see in RP Model Railroad's videos, they track well.

I stumbled across this interesting item on eBay. There is no outrageous price or anything of the kind - just interesting as I've never seen this brand before. Follow the below link to see a Gloor Craft Models - Wood Sheathed Caboose

Is this a record for the most expensive HO freight car ever sold? $1,175 for a single brass NYC flexivan and the bidding is still going... am I hallucinating or something?

Would someone please explain to me why this rather ordinary
looking, but nicely done, car sold for nearly $1800 after 29
bids??? It probably would have been cheaper to commission
a model brassworks to build five of them at that price.

As for Chops, he dreams in Tyco...

And there's another one already up over $800! Hell, if Flexi-vans are worth this much, I should finish building my fleet of em. I have 18 of the Ambroid wood kit for these, maybe I could pay for my college tuition

Something is rotten in Denmark. This appears to be identical to the last auction.
Is it a case of buyer's regret and they are trying to unload this back into the market?
What's up with all these amateur early bids? No one does that unless they don't know
what they are doing, or someone is trying to stir the pot.

Again, a nice model yes, but one could probably commission a five car set at these
prices.

I had been searching for Tyco Atlantic Coast Line and found this on CL.

For those you you relatively near Allentown PA, there is a bunch of Tyco and Marx items for sale on Craigslist. Poster wanted to sell all items as one lot, but did not list a price.

Here's 3 nice NOS billboards at a crazy price. However, two of them are the first series and a little bit harder to find...

Here's some Tyco Fluorescent lights at a staggering price. I know Chops is wondering why I have not bought them yet. However , I have had some on the older blue blister packs that the lights would not work

I like it, as Frank Fritz would say, but I don't like it at $214. What
astonishes me is that there are 15 bids on it. I put up a bundle of
Tyco USA 1 track switches with a starting bid at $3 and for two
months I got no interest at all except for an inquiry if I would ship
to Portugal.

I suspect the phone booth rings true for those of us who remember
those contraptions in a pre-celluar age.

Those are really rare plus those who grew up with Tyco in the 50s-90s are getting nostalgic!

Maybe a typo. They rejected my nickel offer and reposted the
two switches for $17. Still a bit pricey.
