Model Railroader featured trains for sale!

[dragenrider]

Do you remember the “N” scale Arkansas and Missouri Railroad project that was featured over the course of several 1999 issues of Model Railroader magazine? The project was later republished in Kalmbach’s “Project Railroads You Can Build” books. The model layout was built by former MR art director Mark Watson and exhibited some excellent custom cars and Alco engines. The real railroad it was patterned after runs in the mountains of western Arkansas and southern Missouri.

Anyway, I have the two RS-1 engines and the three passenger cars which were custom painted for the Arkansas & Missouri railroad. I would like to see these special items find a good home. After three attempts at modeling N scale, I have decided that I should just stick with HO and admire those who can produce quality N scale layouts. Namely Mr. Mark Watson!

So, I’m selling ALL my N scale stuff. I realize that the forum is not a garage sale forum and this post may be frowned on by some. However, due to the quality and history of these two engines and cars, I wanted to see some caring, truly interested MR fan make these items at home in his or her display case. Where else can I find such a special person but here in the Model Railroader forum? I don’t want some unappreciative jerk off eBay buying them for resale or for some four year old to play with!

Selling all together I have the engines (by Atlas) and passenger cars listed above, along with ten freight cars (8 by MT) with MT couplers, five PECO code 55 electrofrog turnouts, about twenty feet of PECO code 55 track (used), four buildings, bridges, parts, retaining walls, tunnel portals and anything else N scale I find in my cleaning up.

My price? I honestly don’t know what to ask. I’m more interested in getting rid of my N scale stuff and seeing these collector’s items in a good home than in money. If you would, email me at [e-mail] and I will send you pictures. Make me a reasonable offer and we’ll see what we can do.

Bergie, thanks for your indulgence in such a long “for sale” post. Long live Model Railroader!

It has been wisely suggested that questions and answers be posted here for all to view. This will provide more information to you and prevent me from having to answer the same thing multiple times. Sounds like a great idea! [tup]

Both of the A&M engines run well. They are by Atlas. One has a headlight out. They have directional lighting.

Also, I've located more new Peco track, two tunnel portals, and a retaining wall.

Thanks,
Randy
