Where and who trades trains?
Posted by FEClionel on Sunday, June 20, 2004 5:31 PM
I have a few Lionel items I never use and would love to trade for accesories or other stuff. But I have no idea where to go to trade. I know everyone Ebay's everything they don't need but I would rather trade this stuff. ANy ideas?

Are you a member of any clubs or associations ( TCA, TCAA, etc)? Most have train meets once or twice a year.

well I'm 24 and a life long Lionel/train fan but I recently got back into toy trains and I also live in South Florida where trains shops and events are a rare event. I was wondering if there was an online venue for trading, Basically I have a southern pacific gp9 tmcc engine that I would love to trade more stuff to fill my empty layout.

You may want to visit our web site at www.modeltrainjournal.com The site has a free classified ad section where you can list trains for sale or trade or to buy. Although, this time of year is slow, you may want to give it a try.

There is also a classified add section on the trains.com site which is the host for the CTT forum.

Here is the link

I tried to look at your classifieds, Bill; but here's what I got:

Content-type: text/html
Software error:
/hsphere/local/home/eladia/modeltrainjournal.com/cgi-bin/suite/classifieds/temporary/front_page.tpl did not return a true value at library/main_frontpage.pl line 31.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@modeltrainjournal.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error
