All the 2-6-0 needs is a new set of tires. She's cherry!

Looking at this sellers other listings, it appears he got his items from a trash heap.

The guy has some bids. :shock: :shock: :shock: What in the world is good on that AF 4-8-4 that makes it worth $100? Or, for that matter, the Lionel Hudson. I can see absolutely nothing that isn't eaten up with rust, corrosion or both. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I would far rather have that Dockside or 4-4-0 in the condition shown than that PA on the next thread over!
