...I'm going to hook you guys up with a seller on eBay that has a bunch of stuff at great prices. I've already purchased two engines, received today, and they were outstanding!!! I got two old engines, one quite rare, both in pristine condition. And I'm watching a couple of more items.

And, yes, Reckers, there is even some S-gauge on his list. Even some O-scale, HoN3, Lionel, and old structures, long out of production.

Bless you, Bob!

I bid on two items and sent a question about the e-unit they have posted. It looks nothing like any AF e-unit I've ever seen, so it may be mislabelled. You Lionel guys might want to check it out and see if it looks familiar to you. http://cgi.ebay.com/american-flyer-...ewItem&pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3a5aba8513

Thanks, Bob!

Reck,

Great call! That e-unit looks very much like the MARX e-units that Ian (IMatt) and T-Man have been fiddling with. Same "wedge" toggle design. Take note here, guys ... maybe something that could help on your end? The ebay pic (below) give a clearer view of how the brass U-rod toggles the wedge control.

More Marx than Lionel. Maybe from a 666.

I see this not going well for any of us... I see with 10 seconds left in each auction, all of the prices skyrocketing as we all bid on the same items at with virtually no time left... haha

Brad, ?????? What auctions are you watching? The ones I see are at least 3 hours out and most are days away from ending.

I was just kidding around about how these guys were trying to teach me how to snipe and that everyone was going to do it... the things I liked most were all O scale and I'm not even finished my HO layout yet, so I am not watching any items.

sorry for the vague and lame attempt at a joke
