This summer I'm going to a large (GATS sized) train show in Galesburg, IL. I am looking for either a Life-Like Heritage 0-6-0 or 0-8-0 steam switcher. Any idea on how easy it would be to find one there? If need be I'll mail order one from one of the wholesale model supply stores, but I'd rather buy one that I know has never been out of the box, I can look at before I buy, etc. I'm looking for CB&Q models, which was a roadname in the 1st release of the 0-8-0's (I would think those would be pretty hard to find), and a Burlington 0-6-0 is still in stock at Walthers. I'm trying to find a mint condition model for $170 and under. Model Railroader had an article on a past issue that briefly talked about finding out of production models, but I'm looking for a little more detailed info.
