I guess this seller think that we have money trees in our backyards or that we have millions in the bank. Nice cars though.

Yikes! That train must have been made out of Gold instead of Brass! Some smoke from a Corvair killed the Money Tree in my yard! I'll have to see if I can plant another one.[:o)][:)][;)][:P] Take Care all.

That reminds me of the sort of thing that old Mr. Hill at Hills Hobby in Park Ridge, IL would sell. In HO and O gauge. Beautiful brass engines and rolling stock. And that's the sort of prices that they sold for too. High end models for those who can afford it.

Looks like a nice set to me. 15 cars, Yaouza!
