Tossed the fried transformer and brass track, sold the cars on ebay (for much more than 2 bucks) and kept the loco for myself! I doubt you will ever find brass, but some nice vintage plastic can be found! I've also found early Atlas, and some long forgotten plastic kits on yard sale tables. I must live amongst <b> heathens!</b> <br />As far as me personally , I did toss a Varney F unit years ago....I discovered they <b> didn't </b> bounce when falling to the floor, and the frames will shatter much like glass.[:(]
