Really Cheap K-line

Hello

 

I was surprised yesterday to find at my local boscovs, plymouth switcher sets for $75, I already have one, but for those who dont, this is a great deal

I've been curious at these, as our local Hobby Lobby has 'em as well.

The box only shows the switcher, but it seems big enough that there might be other stuff in there. Is there another car, track, & transformer?  The box is about a foot square by 3" deep, is solid yellow, with just a window for the switcher.

Any info appreciated;

Carl

You know I passed like two boscov's yesterday on my way back from York to lOng Island. Alex, how do these look. I might have to mail order but I'll check shipping first.

There great engine, they have a good weight to them and smoke.  They do not have sound though.  The mining set comes with 6 nicely detailed cars.  The engine and cars are fitted with scale couplers but O guage ones are included in the box.  CTT did an artical one this engine, so you could search the reveiw archive.

The Plymouth Switcher set that I have has six ore cars or hopper style cars, not mining cars & the switcher.  Mining cars look more like a trailer to a hand car set and have a draw bar between the cars instead of couplers.
