My scouts have had difficulty finding the factories for both IM and MT. I strongly suspect they are using captive Elf labor to assemble those assembled coupler packs and to placed all those separately applied grabs and other small details. Rumor has it that they are both deep in the New River Forest in a couple of hollow trees, or is that Keebler?
Hmmm. Yes. You might be correct. If they did it here in the Pacific NW, those laborers would be Sasquatches. And their "fingers" are definitely too large for such small parts!
The MTL factory air would sell even better if it included a needle to use for injecting that factory air into the holes in the boxes... Oh, wait...
The little tongue in cheek humor aside, I wonder when these will show up on the Bay. When people are selling moldy cheese with what appears to be a face on it, half eaten sandwiches, and old Mehano N scale locos for exorbitant prices claiming that their N.I.B. and never were run it would not surprise me a bit to see these appear if they haven't already. What does it cost to ship air I wonder.
Will this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-pieces-...968?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19ed2bfb48 On further review, this one's better... http://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-BUT-CL...730?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f36214d12
I wonder if the air in the second one is actually from Iowa? I'd be really leery of buying these,for all we know,they could just as easily have been fillled in Chernoble...
Yeah. With all the smog problems over there, I'd be careful not to puncture any bags. Otherwise a person might get lung cancer! Maybe this is how they clean their air- Sneaky exporting of the smog?
This Appears to be a ConCor SD40. And not Burlington Northern. Looks like this guy got took and he's passing the crookedness on to you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kato-N-Scal...193248?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item43caeac8a0
I wonder if the seller has any clue at all. Anyone with some minimal railroad knowledge would know the box is wrong.
Pretty sad shape!! Just loaded with dust as well! Fuel tank, looks like a chop job?? And lets NOT even comment on those nice clean pilots! Wouldn't give HALF the asking price!n
How about a Foobie Rivarossi Southern Pacific Bicentennial Challenger (SP never owned any challengers) on sale for $360 (down from $400): http://www.ebay.com/itm/N-Scale-Riv...606948?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item46219c5fa4
An assortment of 24 Bachmann boxcars (only a stock picture of 1 boxcar not in a box) with NO other info about what you are getting for $428: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bachmann-76...859720?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item43cab7eb08
Is the car pictured actually Bachmann? If so, must be something from more recent years. It's not a bad deal to pay that much, for something actually worth maybe 5% of the asking price.
I wonder if the MSRP of 24 Bachmann boxcars is actually in that range... but I'm too lazy to find out...
Direst from the Bmann about $22 ea. Back when I was buying them cheap from a couple of gals at the Greenberg Shows they were about $3 to $3.25. Take the dip in a bucket and shake once paint job and strip it and you had some decent detail with a decent repaint job. Man has inflation taken over and hopefully the paint jobs have gotten better.
I love it the numbers on the cab and steam cap don't match! I wouldn't doubt that Con-Cor didn't sell SP Challengers, heck you could get Veranda Turbines in Pennsy. I got a bunch of those packed away at home, maybe decal it up as a Brazilian railraod and sell it as a model of the last train Butch & Sundance robbed! I could be rich
