 Here’s some further information on the Neil Young auction results:

“Singer-songwriter Neil Young's extensive collection of model trains have fetched nearly $300,000 at auction, along with classic cars and musical equipment owned by the 72-year-old folk-rock icon. Young, a model train enthusiast for decades, offered more than 230 pieces at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles from his collection of Lionel trains, including a custom-painted Commodore Vanderbilt 4-6-4 locomotive that sold for $10,000.

Several cars that Young owns were also sold. A 1953 Buick code 76X Roadmaster Skylark convertible with a steering wheel hub that says, Customized for Neil Young, went for $400,000, the auction house said on Saturday.

Good evening all,

I did see the results.  Mr. Young did very well.  I read where his trains collected over $300,000 and so did some of 1:1 automobiles.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana
