Thanks!
I just took a look at the online catalog/ auction, bidding closes 1/23.
"Roadside America" obviously had a LOT of fans, most of the artefacts are going for respectable money.
No trains listed though. I suppose they're going separately?
Supposedly later on this year YOU CAN bid on real dirt bikes Freezer and Real Furniture as well Like I said before I AM WATCHING
It ended And if THIS ONE is any indication the trains are NOT gonna be cheap

The good news is that Mr Geiringers legacy lives on but now in the homes of private collectors. It was just not in the cards to keep the display intact. I just wonder what the auction brought the family. I would guess 10K or more.
You know, that depends. If I remember correctly the trains are pretty much standard Lionel post-war products, and post-wars aren't going for what they did several years ago. Aside from the "Roadside America" cachet there's nothing special about them. We'll have to wait and see.
Anyone know if and when the trains are going on the block?
Later this year possibly March The bulk of stuff operating was mostly newer but who lnows The TM vid showed some classic Prewar on the layout so maybe As I stated if the 11th hour is any indication......................................an estimate I came up with is at least 350 thousand I do not think any buildings went under 300.00
I myself tried for The Kaufmann's dept store stopped at 1100.00
even the push button to operate stuff went for 150 up A Standalone Freezer 70 bucks and a Kaola changing sation six bucks
Also a couple of Dirt bikes do not remember what they sold for BUT they did
Also one final thing for now Apperently at some point there was a petting zoo on the property

I've got that video. If I remember correctly, and it's been a while since I've watched it, they preferred the post-war Lionels since they were easy to work on and maintain. I don't remember any pre-war but the same would apply.
And in it's final hours the layout still shines was there today
They even saved the fish
Also a book about the display is coming
