    Ah, but there's a twist: It's "Vintage" now! "Make this handsome diesel yours today!" (I gave it away right there didn't I?)

    (If that's "vintage" then what am I? Don't answer that!)

    Hi Speed strikes again! Does the term 'dummy' refer to the non powered unit or the person who might think about buying it?

    How is BIN any different from a E-store? The only difference is that an e-store usually has lower prices. [sigh]

    The listing says SOLD. For $11.25 AND $3.03 shipping. I would LOVE to sell all the ones I get in collections for that kind of money I probably have 30 or 40 laying around now. I give them to Kids at Train Shows.

    We've been searching for some property for awhile but lately we keep seeing that instead of the price being lowered as it doesn't sell, the prices are being RAISED when it doesn't sell. Looks like it finally crossed over to trains (by the way, any property gets a bonus if it involves trains as well)

    Locomotive base...? The chassis itself might indeed be excellent, however the grading system they are attempting to use is not intended for items missing their entire shell assembly. This is a misuse of the TCA's Standards. :(

    Also, the entire description consists of the title repeated: "N7 N Scale ENGINE LOCOMOTIVE 2180 SOUTHERN GREEN WHITE iwqw9."

    I believe it could be secret code for 'stick to some unsuspecting sucker'.
