<p>The trick to a successful train visit is do your home work. Make a list of stuff you're looking for, cars, locos, buildings, etc, then keep a price range by the items. As model makers have down sized their output of models, many guys upped their prices trying to cash in on less product available. I remember eight years ago, every dealer had cartons full of blueboxes and other kits. I've seen dealers sellimg used Atlas covered hoppers for $15 and a shop owner across the room, selling the same cars, brand new for $10. </p><p>You have to look around, some times there's a good find hidden in there, I found a silver streak mechanical reefer kit recently.</p><p> Brakie's dead one about under table stuff, I found several used buildings in fair shape for a buck a piece.</p><p> Like someone else said"let the buyer beware"</p><p> mike h.</p>
