    It has been listed correctly, both times, as N scale.

    Not sure about HOn3, but perhaps if I had deep pockets, and it was HOn30, and I didn't want to put in a bit of added time to make it run decently.....

    He lists it in the N scale section but the description says "HOn3." He then goes onto describe HOn30. Confusing to someone who does not have the Trainboard "More eBay Humor" thread to guide them. :)

    I checked and Spookshow gave it a D. The detail is N scale but You could probably use it as HOn30. It sure looks big enough. (Spookshow's Joe Works 3-Truck Shay Review)

    When I sign into E Bay, there is a long page of suggestions. sometimes there is a gem, but most of the time it is wading through tons of sellers with High Speed Junk.
    Does anyone buy this stuff? I won't click on any of them as then E Bay will inundate me with more junk.

    Annoying

    Pete-

    They may be remembering your previous visit(s). By that I mean cookies. Or you might have created a page such as their "collections" feature, which they use as a sales tool.

    And the "suggestions" are difficult if not impossible to shut off. If you don't click any of those, then it makes "suggestions based on your recent interests." I have not found a way to kick them off "my eBay feed" unless I unfollow the search, which I am not doing since that would kill my "Ignore List" (which I suspect they will disable next).

    As bad as that is, the full screen video that you get when you go to the Paypal site is, for me, annoying squared.

    Show her the posting, then say, "I didn't buy it. See how much money I saved." She'll absolutely love you. (Or think you're an idiot. One of the two.) :)

    $40?! You can't give away Bicentennial boxcars in the original box, with liner, and with the original ribbed wheels. BTW, if anyone wants any, I have a couple runners I'd share for the price of the shipping.

    Maybe it's not the camera, but the photographer. Hand held in low light = long exposure time = blurry photo. What ever it is, it is crap trying to sell crap.

    Buyers who forget to put their glasses on and miraculously see the pics in perfect focus!
