Here's another load of old junk I bought the church in a charity shop for pennies here in the U.K found some old cork and scenery. this my in Your money 50 cent build lol
My local hobby shop buy's train's and other collections from people I am sure pennies on the dollar. But I always check out that area when I go there. How I got two Atlas #6 Remote Switches for $5.00 each, and they where brand new ( but old numbers ) and work just as well as the current version one I just bought for around $20.00. Also bought a Model Power assembled house for $1.00 once, and New it retails for about $20.00. The have an isle of items that were on someone's layout and some are great prices. However the majority of their N Scale Kato, Atlas, etc... and other locomotives are ridiculous. I always check the prices on the internet when I am in there. Great buy on the .50 cent structure!
My EX-Wife used to call me "Thrifty" I just go with CHEAP! I have worked too hard for my money. Why spend a dollar, if spending a dime will do? This is one of the main reasons I like Train Show/Sales/Swap meets. Especially if the Show is organized by the NMRA and/or Model Railroaders, not some Commercial outfit, who is looking to make macho dinero from Attendees and Sellers.
