Well, I see that the going rate for a LNIB 94 foot tank car is
still right up there.
I know the feeling. I recently picked up all four 94 footers
from "that auction website" and paid about $150 for all four (3 in
one auction for $123.50 and one in an auction with 5 other cars for
$41). I also picked up all 4 86 foot boxcars and all 4 86 foot
stock cars as well. I have three of the four heilium cars (need a
box for 3031 though).
BTW...I picked up a very good condition 3033 on "that auction
website" the other day, it and three other cars, all MIB cost me the
large sum of only......get this......$26 (considering the going
price for a 3033 MIB is $35)! Now, if I could only find a 3034 in a
box...
I need to update my list of freight equipment as I now have at least
HALF of it (all within a period of 4 months!, most of it still in
its boxes!!.
Next aspect is passenger cars, which I only need a handful of, then
I will tackle locomotives (I have 22 of them right now, both A1G and
A2G).
