  3. Up for sale is a set of 2 Northwest Short Line 6 wheel power trucks.  These are brand new in the box. 
     
    Perfect for modeling that G scale SD diesel you have always been dreaming about!
     
    Each truck is individually powered and there is a set of external leads you can hook up for lighting, etc.
     
    These trucks are currently sold by Northwest Short Line for $240.00 / set
     
    Selling for $180 for the set (plus shipping)
     
    My loss is your gain

  4. I have for sale a set of 1/32 scale power trucks.  Exquisite detail.  All brass and steel. 

     

    These came from an Imported Brass 1/32 scale F-9A and B set sold by Eastern Railways in the late 80's.  Back at the time, the locos cost $4,000.00 for the set so you know these are high quality.

     

    With electrical pickups, gear boxes and drive shafts.

     

    Asking $250.00 or best offer for the set.

  5. I am wondering if the readers of this forum can help me out with some information.

     

    I have an American Standard Car Company / Great Trains 1/32 scale train set for sale. 

     

    The set is a limited edition Christmas train set Ralph Brown made for the Marshall Fields Department Store in Chicago.  Each car is numbered, the engine says #23 of 250 but I suspect  Ralph never ended up making 250 sets.

     

    All items are new in original box bought personally by me from Marshall Fields and have never been run.  Consists of a F-40ph loco serial number 23, and two coach cars serial numbers 26 and 34.

    I have no idea of how much these items may be worth.  Does anybody have an idea of how much I should be asking?

    Thanks, Vance Lorenzana
