From memory, the parts are generally bricks, with some of the 2x2 and 4x4 wheels with assosiated axle bricks. There are also quite a few of the 1x1 round bricks, which don't have the indentation round the base like the modern ones. There were also (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

I don't know if this is the right location for posting this, but I was wondering if the age of a part affects it's value. I'm asking this as I have quite a few parts from the early 60's [I think], which have a different moulding on the top of the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

Good answer.

Hi everyone. I have looked at the Cybermaster 8482 from the Technics series.... but there is not much information on it here on LUGNET. Why is that?

Train doors tend to go for $2-5 each for the plain-colored ones, printed ones can go MUCH higher. Train windows are going to be really cheap in a few months with the soccer vans coming out with red/blu/black/white windows. The glass, however, will (...)
