The long awaited Train Auction is here! This is an auction of Lego train sets
including many 9V items, many 4.5V items and many 12V items - over 60 lots in
all. Condition varies but most are good or excellent - see the set
descriptions before you bid for complete information. Many, many rare sets,
multiple copies of several items, plus multiple copies of items are available
separately for auction at www.seriouscollector.com, username mchiles, and at
www.ebay.com, username mchiles.
If you are planning on bidding, e-mail me to be put on the daily update
mailing list. There will be weekly updates to RTL, but in that time items can
easily go from "going 1" to "sold". Bids will begin advancing Tuesday,
February 21. Set pictures, daily updates and all the details are also
available at my web site at
http://www.goldendale.net/buildingblocks/auctions/index.htm.
A word on condition in general - conditions marked are primarily based on the
condition of pieces and stickers, not counting track if included. Track
condition varies considerably within sets, as all track included with these
trains was originally combined in several large collections. Some track is
old and weathered and dusty, some is like new - just like a real railroad. :)
