I've had an American Flyer B& O, F3 A-B-A for sale on consignment that hasn't sold yet a a local Hobby store, thought for sure it would sell during X-mas.

Nope. I don't trade mostly because I do not have much to trade with.
Thank you, Jaime

Stuff I'd like to trade or get rid off...

I got an older large scale Lionel UP Boxcar still in box, and two Bachmann narrow gauge boxcars (UP and a Rath(?) meatpacking reefer, both older, good shape ) to get rid off, cant use the standard gauge stuff. I do want to keep the D&RGW stuff I have on display.

I would also consider trading my Drover style Bachmann combine but I want to turn it into a shorty Oscar piker for my layout.

Got some track section Aristo R1 curves and a bunch of Bachmann POS track curves.

Also have 2 LGB 16000 LH switches but even though they are still worth $$ I am loathe to sell them on the remote outside chance that I might be able to do a small outdoor layout.

Dont know if any of this is of interest to anyone out there, all in all not really alot of interesting stuff to me, maybe I should just ebay it away.

I am only interested in small short and two axled industrial stuff, like LGB toytrain Porter/Cowtrain, HLW minicars, field RR gear, etc, etc.

   Have fun with your trains

i have traded for a few engines rolling stock and parts that way you might get some things that you thought you would like to try. and get something that you wanted to get rid off !
