Howdy
I've never been into the train sets (sorry!), but a recent bulk purchase of a
random box o' parts yielded lots of train parts. I am trying to decide if I
should eBay the bunch or keep them just in case they'll come handy in a robot
or space model...I'd appreciate it greatly if anybody could identify the parts
(so I can represent them fairly on my eBay ad) or even take a stab at an
estimated value for the lot.
A pic is available at:

(the red numbers indicate quanitites, & the 1 straight train track piece has a
textured top surface like the curved pieces next to it).
I found it odd that some train track rails had these shallow "ribbed" textures
on them, while some were smooth. I suppose there's a whole story behind that
too? Something about traction or grip or different wheels?
Please send any replies/follow-ups to me at dante@infernolab.com, as I don't
normally read this group.
Thanks

| I'm sure I'll get outgunned by my reply but: top middle is a 9 volt track connection wire. It's available from S@H for 5.99 (#5305) top left are two buffers, couplers, one with and one without the magnet; the complete pair is S@H 2.99 (#5303) left (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
