RE: Fw: Lionel train collection for sale



Friday night Craig and I went over to see what John had for sale.  His 
warehouse is in the Ben White/Montopolis Road area and is easy to find.

Some of his items included: 362 Freight Station w/OB; several sets of 022 
switches w/OB; 362 Barrell loader w/OB; 394 Rotary Beacon w/OB; 681 turbine 
with 2671 tender; 2343 Santa Fe ABA and the 2530 series passenger cars (all 
with original boxes and shipping box for the ABA units); 262E steamer and 
tender w/OB; several other cars and accessories.  I'd say everything was 
excellent or better and reasonably priced.

He also has some old toys, erector set, etc.  a new craftsman table saw with 
stand and extended table; and 10 'workbench' style tables that are wired 
with electrical outlets for $40.00 each.  You could put these together and 
have a good start for a layout.

It sounds like he's working with the group that puts items on EBAY for 
individuals. They will becoming out early next week to take pictures so if 
you're interested in anything you'll need to call him soon.
