A nice Tyco hopper when the adds on the side are intact. I dont think this one will sell at the asking prices. I personally won't buy a damaged or dirty piece...

This sis probably a neat item by Tyco. Can't really tell by the photo. I am thinking of maybe buying them just as a keeper! Maybe...

| I still get a little excited when I see an ebay lot display of Tyco piggybacks like this. I have to stop myself and realize that I can put this same dsplay together in minutes. However, a neat lot at I price I think may be a tick high, but? https://www.ebay.com/itm/VC6-Lot-3-Vintage-HO-Tyco-Sea-Land-Trailers-and-1-Tractor-Flat-Car-Load/203075342866?hash=item2f483bd212:g:kbEAAOSw4VJfNINw

Ha Ha Ha HA HA HA HA. Somewhere in a landfill or somebody's junk drawer there's a Tyco 4-6-0 Smokestack that must be made of 24 karat gold.
Some people must think they're stuff is made of gold!

Not sure how much these sell for but I think that both light light up at the same time. However, I realize this was offered as a "toy" originally...

I don't even have words to describe this one. $42,088! Based on there other items I'd say it's a mistake, but it's one of those mistakes where you leave everybody else wondering how you made it.

There is a LOT of great deals on good Tyco stuff that has been recently listed on Ebay in the past few days. Here's a snippet:
Good price, condition is decent: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-HO-Scale-Tyco-Denver-Rio-Grande-248-Steam-Locomotive-and-Tender/143705418160?hash=item217582a9b0:g:kT8AAOSwCe9fSFsL

Somebody was looking for BN piggybacks. Here's a good deal on 2:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ho-Scale-Burlington-Northern-Truck-TRAILERS/324274357419?hash=item4b804204ab:g:dIQAAOSwD75fRtd1

I reccomend getting a steamer to go with that water tower. There's nothing like the awesome might of a steam engine taking on water while paused for a station stop.

| I have about 50 of these at least. I believe this has been mentioned several times before but I believe that changing them to LED would make them much to bright to be realistic. I think they make a perfect amount of light just as they come. Someone once said you coould dim the LEDS some, in that case why not just leave them be. The big thing to these Tyco made lights such as the Mercury and Fluorescent, are that the wires at the top thin part of the pole fit really snug. I'm not sure how you could get the LED bulbs soldered on and then get the wires pulled back into the pole. I'm not even sure how Tyco done this. I sure wouldn't want to fool with trying to change one of them...

That Hooker Chemical Booster steamer is awesome! I never knew Mantua made that, and it would look awesome pulling Tyco's Hooker Chemical tankers.
