    Judging by the selling price, many of us who've been in N Scale for decades with "assets" like this are fabulously wealthy and don't know it. I can't believe my eyes.

    I don't know, I see at least 8 pairs of Micro-Trains trucks with couplers, that's at least $40 worth right there. Those cars certainly aren't the best quality, but they don't appear damaged for the most part, just dirty, which can be cleaned up. Some of us like to run long trains and simply aren't willing to pay $30-50 or more each for every car in those trains. I do have quite a few of those expensive cars, but I also have a lot of cheap old "filler" cars. $35 for 20 or so "filler" cars is a pretty good deal.

    I think this beauty was previously featured on our thread. It has now been on the eBay block for ten months, with nearly twenty revisions since of shipping terms, return policies and Buy It Now pricing, all to no avail at today's $25.19. Perhaps if the Seller divided the current price by 100 and added Free Shipping, there might be a sale.

    Looks like a horribly botched Minneapolis & St. Louis paint job. :rolleyes:

    Ugh, I think you're right. For C&NW /CStPM&O / CGW / M&StL and L&M fans like us, it's a nauseating sight. :sick: It's an old Atlas shell I'm thinking. I bought this locomotive when I was a teen and was so disappointed. It was a dog that no amount of tinkering could improve.

    Down in the listing it clarifies the posting to read "This listing is for ten (10) units of this product". Still, kind of weird. Not sure who'd want 10 Ea at the retail price.

    This one makes me chuckle every time I come across it...

    I mean, I could buy this building from Outland for $7, but then I wouldn't have a pair of well-out-of-scale camels that have nothing to do with anything to go with it (???!!!)
