So did anybody bid on the Trainz site last night and win?? I saw the 4-12-2 Jerry White went for over $1900, not bad... I really wanted to win a couple of the building auctions they were from the late Joe Fiore of Birmingham layout. still see some items from his layout but no buildings of interest.
SO I say did anybody win???

I picked up the Custom Brass 5701 covered hopper lettered GATX, the second one with OB went for less but still reasonable some of the brass was mislabeled I believe there was a Toby covered hopper in a CB box and that's what they called it mine was just called a brass hopper, obviously they were unaware of the drives in some of the steamers although I believe each engine had full picture sets, I did not actually look into any of those, the OM UP coaling went very low although it needed some work.

I was 2nd on the 4-12-2 and second on a building. I will watch Trainz for future items.

I was second as well on a building (the Tallow plant).

I also won a collection of buildings (the one with several tanks
as well as a loading dock, a warehouse and the General Light & Power
substation with that incongruous smokestack stuck on the roof)

So those were buildings off the layout of Joe Fiore of Birmingham?
Take care,
Wolfgang

Yup, those were from Joe's layout. check out his youtube video, you will find most of the buildings were his. I tried to pick one up but was outbid at every effort.

Checked out the video of Joe's layout, very impressive it would appear that Trainz had only a small amount of all the models that appeared to be on the layout and wall shelves.
