Outside just before
9:00 a.m. |
Sinclair tankcar bodies. |
Everything is $4.00
per lb. |
A bunch of everything. |
Car bodies to match
the phantom. |
Rio deals. |
Plain and simple. |
JC Penny trailers
by the truckload. |
Mint in the box. |
$4 per lb don't buy
many of these. |
A little bit of this,
a little bit of that. |
It definitely wasn't
a drag being there. |
Camping season in
Lionelville. |
Now into the auction
house. |
Everyone needs one
of these; there were 4 for sale. |
Where's James, the
red engine? |
All the yellow tags
are different auction lots. |
So much Lionel, so
little money. |
I guess the bridge
wasn't made for G scale. |
Aluminum Ricos, and
a lot more. |
An engine graveyard? |
I just love those
colors. |
Glow in the dark too. |
Most of the big engines
were in this back room... |
Including this green
Southern... |
And this Chevy... |
And this triple headed
SP. |
They were selling
these for $20. I got there as the last one was taken. Bummer. |
They saved stacks
of them for the auction... |
And these too. |
Here is a mixed lot. |
One of the dealer
kits was leaking. |
Meet the press. |
About 100 different
presses for different applications. |
I've never heard of
these. |
The auction site. |
Various molds and
tooling... |
Even more.. |
No respect for the
Rio Grande... |
The CNW... |
Or the AEC. |
Just plain, old no
respect. |
Here is the $86,000
model of Grand Central Station. |
I tried to show the
detail inside. |
Exterior detail. |
Shot from the right
side... |
The right front... |
The left front... |
And the left side |
Inside upper level
from left side. |
Lastly, the right
front corner. |
Paint mask for a boxcar... |
For a UP GP9... |
And for an NH. |
Assorted paint masks... |
And a few more. |
Stamp plate for a
PRR... |
And for a B&M. |
This is the only guy
I recognized: Bill Button from Madison Hardware and LCCA. |
More stuff for sale. |
A big crowd anticipated
on Thursday and Friday. |
The auctioneers table. |
Cases of intermodal
containers for $12... |
Mouse pads for $2... |
And 4 piece sets of
Christmas stocking holders for $20. |
This line moved slower
than the unemployment office in the 80's. |
Miscellaneous boxcars
and cabooses for $1. |
A label on a press
waiting for payment. |
Only $3 for an, umm,
er... I don't know what. |
OK, what did I buy? |
I picked up all of
my acquisitions in the $4 per pound building, including four
of these chassis... |
And these 3 colorful
shells to go on top. |
I also bought 2 catalogs
for $10 each. |
Here are the 4 chassis.
Anyone know what they are supposed to be with? |
Another shot of my
stuff. |
I couldn't resist
the JC Penney trucks to run with my Sears trucks. |
I threw in a couple
of these for the heck of it. |
Another look at my
stuff. |
I got all of this
for $92.00. |
Some color for my
layout. |
