Tyco Trains Wanted

[Anonymous]

I am a collector of Tyco trains and would like to know if anyone has any tyco buildings or accessories still sealed in the boxes or cars and engines in their boxes they would like to sell that are in new to excellent shape. If so email me at [e-mail] .

You might want to post this over on the Model Railroader forum, too. There are a lot more HOers over there.

I had a Tyco Spirit of 76 train when I was a kid. I ran that thing until it conked out. I hear a lot of bad things about Tyco, but I had good luck with what I had.

I personally think that Tycos aint worth buyin. Course it is your money not mine.

I still have one of those Spirit of 76 Tyco trains, not into the HO, but perhaps it would make a good display with the Lionel set.  I don't have any of the Tyco stuff in the boxes, but do have a set of heavyweights from Spectrum and the Hudson that goes with it all in the box.

I had a bunch of Tycos when I was a kid. My favorite was the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Unfortunately, it crapped-out not too long after I got it. From what I have heard this was a common problem with these engines.

Clint- You should have asked your parent's for a 1688 set after your Tyco pooped out. Oh Well, You live & learn. Take Care.

I have many fond memories of my Tyco trains.  I started with them and even though I'm not in HO anymore I'll keep and eventually display them.
Enjoy

Keith, that would have been a dream come true! Even as a little kid I had a thing for old Lionels. Unfortunately, I had a bad habit of taking stuff apart without being able to put it back together... so maybe that wouldn't have been such a good idea after all!
