    Yeah, mostly classic N scale at which I would never laugh. About the only thing at which I would laugh or, more correctly, show frustration with, is that he kept calling Atlas stuff "Bachmann" at first, almost like he was afraid of giving Atlas credit for those A1G cars.

    How much was the box? And he said he had a store, so he should make money, I guess?

    This would very interesting to know. As he seems to have intentions of reselling, I doubt he'll tell anyone.

    Allen,

    Me- Possibly Because I don't think of goodwill, any other thrift store to have trains, unless the family member of the Model Railroader has no interest as an adult now from when he was a youngster and now has no clue and the $, the family member has not done any research, such as an Donation to a M RR Club .. just does not care! and wants one of the Cheapest Ways to Dispose of the collection.

    A lot of junk. He might wind up with $200 if he's lucky.

    Not even the Atlas/Rivarossi ATSF heavyweight passenger cars?

    The Atlas Baldwin and the other Atlas whatever-it-is are alright s is some of the rolling stock. The Lima Reading 2-6-4T and RR FM and E-unit are junque. Some of the rolling stock is a bit clunky, as it is out-of-date, but it can be dressed up a bit and will be alright.

    I do wonder what he paid for it.

    Even if the stuff is not the best, I never get lucky and find something like that.
