    Why does there seem to be a direct correlation between exceptionally high prices and not putting them on the track properly ?

    I'll sell you TWO packages for $15. And they'll have 24 poles in them, not 12. Sheesh, this is even more than my local dealer charges, and they are no bargain.

    Hey wait, we seem to also have another entrant in the Roofless/Broken Step Category. Sheesh, the Seller couldn't even take a minute to brush off the dust and cobwebs before taking pictures.

    All-
    I don't know how many of these 1970's - 1990's? BACHMANN 2-8-0, 2-8-2 Locomotives I have seen come into my Hobby Shop Dealer at the time 1987 - 2000 ? for repair or a motor replacement My Dealer asked me about them . Of course this was when BACHMANN Introduced their SPECTRUM SERIES 2-8-0 .
    I told my dealer the customers best bet is to invest in a KATO or the Spectrum Series 2-8-0 .

    If a locomotive has no roof...doesn't matter if it is steam or diesel, it is topless.

    It certainly seems to be spreading. At this point, perhaps all diesels, steam engines and cabooses should be quarantined?

    I know this discussion is all over this board but I haven't gone to the eBay in many years. But, now when I go to TitanTV.com to see what's on TV, half there ads are for the items being discussed on this board. And these past two days there's a lot of ads on the main MS board for the Track Cleaning Cars being discussed here.
    I didn't realize this board was so commonly known. :cool: :D

    TrainBoard began before 2000 and after testing, went public that year. It has been around a long, long time and we believe it is at very least the oldest of this style board. Plenty of chances that we would be noticed....
