Try looking here:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/180250/i.html? ... cat=180250

but you only have ~6 hours left.......

I'm not comprehending - what is stupid about the auction? The seller does not have a complete train; instead he/she/they have 1 engine, 2 RPOs and 5 Observation Cars.

Some of these items look like they have already been damaged.

Prices seem fair. If the stupidity is in breaking up things that really should stay together, I am not sure that is stupid. Maybe from some viewpoints reprehensible, but, hey, seller’s choice.

That P5 Boxcab is tempting, but I bet it goes for over $300.

When I mentioned "breaking" up the set, I meant physically smashing it! As best I recall, those models were NOT known to be that well done. I'm not interested at ANY price. Amusing that they use the names from Mark Twain.

You missed the boat; it sailed ~1 pm yesterday ---> "only have ~6 hours left".

The link should still lead to the closed auction.
EDIT: I just realized that the link is to a seller not an auction. :oops:
