I have been offered the following sets which I believe are in used but excellent
condition:

7740  Inter-City Train
7725  Electric Train
7864  Transformer ( 220V )
7857  Electric Crossing
7866  Level Crossing
7814  Breakdown Crane
7824  Station
7821  Maintenance Wagon
7819  Mail Van

Plus points, lights and lots of extra track.

Trouble is I don't have any of the 12V Train sets but I am 9V complete. Should I
buy? Price is 300 USD. I am going to see the sets this afternoon.

(...) After seeing the sets, I decided not to buy them. Their condition was not of a high enough standard for me although I do realize that some of the sets are 18 years old and therefore would naturally be showing signs of wear. The second reason (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)
