    They are over priced! Even with shipping! They are $46 with free shipping elsewhere on eBay coming from Japan even with $24.48 and $12 shipping. Plus they are non powered only for display. Although you can buy the motor, chassis and trailer chassis (sold separately).

    What do you mean out of scale? You mean you've never seen a 40ft tall camel?!:)

    Trainz is a reputable company I've dealt with in the past. Their main focus is Lionel / O gauge trains, but they also sell other scales including N scale. I believe this is a typo on their part and I've sent them a message about the price of the Kato crossing. Hopefully they'll have the price corrected otherwise they may owe someone a big refund :ROFLMAO:

    Hi Jim, Yes I missed that. I did get a reply from my original email I sent them, telling me they are looking into it.
    I guess I'll probably get another reply telling me the price is for 10 crossing.
    Looking at their listing again, I now see they have 60 crossing available, being sold in 10 crossing bundles.

    The quantity isn't always obvious !

    Years ago I accidentally bought 16 Life Like PB1's.

    The bay ad was titled "Life Like PB1 undec dummy for N scale" ......... so I bought 4.
    It should have said "Life Like PB1 undec dummy N , Quantity 4"

    The detailed description simply said "Undecorated, not powered, no box".

    16 PB1's later I have more than enough to model all my SP PB's.

    It does seem to be fairly clean. But that shell damage would prevent such a value.

    "Untested a great addition to your collections! "

    Untested = doesn't run.

    Sadly, this is too often true. :(

    And contradicting this is the description they used for "Condition", above there= "Used: An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections." (Emphasis added by me.) Also, a broken step is not simply "cosmetic wear."

    Now that my layout is nearing completion...I need to go through all the 'junk boxes' under the layout. I can open a new Ebay account and just roll in the dough that will be coming in ! (y)(y)
