I wish we did have a buy and sell forum, it would be nice to be able to get second hand train stuff from collectors instead of fighting it out on ebay, or paying retail.  It would also serve multiple purposes, 1) allow sellers to get rid of stuff they don't want or need, 2) allow collectors to barter and trade with people with whom they have already established relationships with.  Caution would be a necessity, obviously, and but I have been on other boards where board reputation is held in high regard thus new buyers/sellers were given the benifit of the doubt, but only so far until they could establish themselves.

Pie in the sky, by and by; I know but it would still be nice.

I run on Gargraves track. My smallest diameter curve is 36".

Has anybody actualy noticed just how many adds there really are on this forum! Just look around. I guess the so called 'Rules' should read; No free advertisement by individuals!

This Forum does not have a Buy/Sell board BUT OGR does!

You can view this information at the OGR Buy/Sell board.

Hey eZak, will it get around 027 curves?  Looks like she's sitting on 027 guage trackage there.

This one in the link apparently runs on O-31, not sure if its the exact same though.

Sounds like you do have a point there.

Is there a "For Sale" forum on here?

No, not that I know of.

Thanks, John

It was as blatant an advertisement as I can imagine.
