Subject: LGB and other brands Train Auction Hail Fellow Fiends..... a guy's estate has come up for auction. I have never heard of this guy, but he has a HUGE collection of LGB and other gauges of rr stuff up for sale. The pictures make it look like he was a huge hoarder. It also looks like the hoarding stopped about a dozen year ago. Some stuff looks ancient (note the Very Old Aristo stuff- from before it was AristoCraft) N.B.: This auction is not well represented in the pictures. A full listing
is available from the auctioneers. It is on a Friday afternoon --- not sure who
will be attending. --- there may be some great buys (or not -- it's an
auction)
The website for the auction is www.auctionzip.com.... The date is Friday,
October 7, at 2:00 pm. The auctioneers are Wayne Hess and Lori Hess-Lauver. The
zipcode is 17870. The website is kind of obnoxious. There is a downloadable list
of trains that is very comprehensive.
There are lots of hotels and campgrounds in the area, if you choose to
attend in person.
