    LOL. Yeah, when I looked at the photos I immediately wondered what all that crud was in and around the cases and locomotives. Yet, idiots are bidding on them.

    Whoever gets these will either have a decent deal, or some expensive paperweights.

    Oh I don't know, they wound up at $45-$50 each (more than I'd pay for them) but not a horrendous price.
    If it was just moisture/water I'm sure they can be cleaned up decently, a little scrubbing, drying and a little re-lubing work.

    Now if they'd been sitting for a very long period of time without having anything done to them with crust forming, then I would be worried.
    They look as if they still had moisture/water on some of them? I'm sure the "idiot" who won them has a plan...

    Well, to be fair, everybody has a plan, but not everybody has a good plan.

    They fixed it. $37.99. Still a long ways from the real world. That thing has been beat to hades. Maybe $10 worth of parts?

    ETA: scratch that. That's junk. I wouldn't give 10 cents for it.

    All-
    Do you see what I see? Bachmann N Gauge Sante Fe Train Set | eBay

    1 CC -CONCOR REFRIG car.
    1 MINITRIX Ore car
    1 ? on the baby ruth tank car
    Those cars will not disappear

    The A.T. & S. F. BP - BACHMANN PLUS- Locomotive possibly would be worth up to the $ on a good day!

    The caboose is a Hi Speed (Reader Digest give away), so is the box that says 'stock car' (even though there isn't a stock car shown). OK engine, junk everything else...sigh
