I agree
I think that Life-Like Build-A-Scene Coal Yard would go great with that dump car

Here is one that I have never seen before ever. Anyone familiar with these pieces and the price asked for them?

The State box cars by Tyco. I only have the one, Ohio piece. Never found the need to try to round up all of the states. No real interest in doing that.

Funny, I just gave one away. It ran decently, but
Traction tires required replacement. Good low to
Moderate speed, pulled five cars plus a caboose

Actually, if you look at it, most of the wheels are flangeless, so it might actually just be crazy enough to work on normal curves.

I mean, who wouldn't want something crazy like that? I know I have some bizarre pieces in my collection for the same reason people want this guy; just because of how strange it is.

I'm a fan of the Amtrak pieces but I believe this price may be a bit too much. I am always Leary of spending a lot of money on a Tyco engine because you never know if the run unless the seller has tested it.

Holy Guacamole, this one doesn't vary in its value like a lot of the good old Tyco stuff (Sanka, eg).
I wanted one so bad back in the day, finally won one in a bidding war that capped out around the
$50 mark, and now they want 64 clams on the barrel head.

| I know what you are saying, Chops... I had paid dearly for a few of my pieces like the rarer truck trailers and sought after buildings...

I still see one of these and get a little excited and want to bid/buy them. This one is cool as it comes with some cattle.
