Whew... I want to run as far away from that particular auction. I would have paid maybe 5 bucks and even the small one may not be good for all the parts. In fact I would not have bid on this one at all. Once in a while we all bite the big one. I spend a great deal of time looking for that one specific item for MSRP or lower. I dig down into histories, check the seller out.. I prefer those who understands trains. Or those who take time to answer any question you may have before bidding. 38 dollars is not much money this time. I have seen rusted brass get fought over for hundereds of dollars and it makes me ill to see people throw money after a product that has spent 50 years rusting to almost unusable form. Or worse... the Athearn Blue Box Open sided pickle tank car get worth 5 dollars retail get bidded to 10 times or more because it is out of production. Obviously the seller is happy but emotions of "I got more money than you do so scram" obviously was at play here. On th bright side the engtines appear useable for parts that may allow your other similar engines to run. (If you had em) I am trying very very hard to keep a straight face at the seller's description that should be just one word... "Undecorated" And the plastic does not rust. That is strike number two and clangs a warning bell in my head not to touch this item.
