Did you know that you can bid on lots of toy trains online through a government auction site?

I just discovered this today.  I mean, I knew that government agencies auctioned off stuff like military surplus and fancy cars seized in drug busts.  But not actual F59ph locomotives!  Got 80 grand plus taxes, buyer's fees and shipping costs?  Cause they've got one!  Big Smile

Big Smile  Same me, different spelling!  Big Smile

Well that's unusual.  I wonder how Mendocino County wound up with that box of Lionels?  Maybe found in an abandoned property seized by the county?  Strange.
