In their day less than $2.00 and probably show a little more in the catalogs. I have never paid over $10 for a pack and that's including shipping... I have about 20 extra packs of these that I will keep to use when one of my layout poles burn out...

I'd never seen this one before, so it is a fork lift that picks up the
trailers? How ingenious.

Yeah, that is a bit high priced. However, the "Piggyback Loader & Unloader," as it is officially called, doesn't really go cheap. It took me a while to find a good deal on one....for RETRO TYCO.

The Tyco remote toys are pretty cool but I have never owned any. As a kid I thought they were more "toy-ish" than the train cars and buildings. I kind of like the unloading coal hopper, but have yet to get one if I decide to...

Holy Toledo, those are some prices. I heard the color magenta
was the rarest and most sought after color on Hot Wheels. I
wonder if the magenta BY is driving the price?

Wow Robert! That is one I didn't see! If you watch the item they will send you an offer for $125.00 instead! Crazy!
Yes, Chops... The magenta colored redline hot wheels have a good value. Some of the pink cars do also. I love the redlines and have a few. But they are not in perfect shape like my Regular Wheels Matchbox are... I spent many a day playing with the redlines!

I guess I'm such a Tyco purist that it kills me to see someone put other things on a Tyco flat car. Such as cars, trucks, Matchbox cars or what have you... But everyone has their own taste...

| A Tyco talgo in poor shape goes for $200, so an almost mint talgo for $345 is understandable.

Not me, thanks to WKS I got a dummy shell and
was able to power it up with some advice from
Toptrain. Microbusss says that his has/had
issues staying on the track.
Getting my powered former dummy to track
was a trick and a half.

That is the Mantua reprise version, and it looks just like the Tyco version. Both are hard to find - a little pricey but not extreme really.

Get Bill Gates in to do a bundle on that BY and the DTI ore car. 
Now that the last BY sold for, what, $125, maybe now this one
will sit and rust?
Perusing eBay for British stuff, came across this little gem:
Electric motor coaches, after a third rail, I am guessing. About $500 the pair.
I like them, but not at that price, but this is apparently the going rate. Hornby.

Indeed it is. It's part of "The elusive three" as I like to call them. The Mantua conrail shifter, the US navy little six, and the hooker little six. I remember reading through old topics that SCVR66 wanted to find them all, got the conrail shifter, but I remember him saying he wasn't sure if one of the two little sixes was actually produced. I don't remember if it was the hooker or navy one.

That is a hard one to find, indeed.

| I know absolutely nothing about Tyco steamers! I like them but was born in the diesel era so I have always favored the diesels. I have younger nephew that loves steamers and has several...

I believe this one may be priced a little high. I really like this Tyco piece and have one on my layout!
