Dada1587,
While you're welcome on the forum, it's purpose is to serve as a "gathering place" for hobbyists who enjoy swapping stories / info about their trains. Many friendships are found along the way, and friends often will swap/sell some goodies to other members.
That said, I'll repeat this little analogy that I wrote to another "one post seller" the other day:
Suppose your walking down the street in a big city and happen to pass by a big convention hall that's hosting a "pet rock" gathering. As strange as it may seem, these people LOVE their pet rocks. They've planned this convention for months, and they anxiously gather to excitedly talk about their rock's shapes, colors, texture, etc. A bit nutty, perhaps ... but they all love it.
As you continue down the street, your toe accidently bumps into a little stone on the sidewalk. You pick it up. Then, as you continue on, you see that the back door to the convention hall is open. With your newly found rock in hand, you slip in the back door, navigate your way to the conventional hall floor, and shout , "HEY ... ANYBODY WANT TO BUY MY ROCK?"
I think a better tactic would be to walk in the FRONT door of the convention hall, say hello to a few people, shake some hands, ask them how/why they're interested in rocks, tell them a bit about yourself and how you found your own rock, etc., etc. Then, after a few conversations and maybe some laughs, you might begin to talk a bit about swapping/selling some favorite goodies.
See the point here?

This is someones For Sale thread, and it is not the place to be discussing whether or not people should be joining the MTF just to sell items... Right now there is no post limit for the For Sale forum, which means that people are allowed to join to sell items... If you would like to continue this discussion (I thought we have been through this before, but I could not find the exact thread), please do so here...
Thank you.

I happen to have one of those power packs. The lever flips open to provide a handle. I find it much easier to 'fine tune' than the knob type power pack I have.
For those running DC, that's a nice power pack to have.

I have a couple of those power packs as well. I really like the flip open handle.

how much track does the set have? Any ideas how much you would like to get for the set?
