dbaker - You couldn't give me that hunk of black plastic NS diesel...however, I'll throw a fin in for that rabbit in the background.   And I'm super-dee-d(.)(.)per curious about those yellow dome thingies on the other side of the engine...

 

Fife, I'm surprised you dont know what those are,  I believe they are suppose to be replicas of the San Onofre Generating plant.   Evil 


Better make a bid to get the rabbit I only bid on the junker engine.

Better up my bid on the Big Boy $28.19

Buckeye Buddy, I checked the old guys will and last testimont.  You don't need to bid on the lake house!!! He left it to you.  All you gota do is pay some back taxes to NC.  It says in the book that he owes $500000 in US dollars to NC.  I hope that will not be a problem for you because I think you and I will really like going to the lake together.

I'm surprised you are not bidding on his classic car collection and his almost new leaky Ranger Bass Boat.   He also has hidden in some drawer around here an Ohio State sweating shirt. 

I hate Berg, He eats too much, and stinks !!!

 Ben,

You can only lock the bid with a picture in the initial bid.  Anyway, that is the wrong picture.  The Big Boy at the Eagles Roost is the 4012, as shown in the picture below.  You did know that t was broke, right?

Notice the connecting rod is broke.


Hmmmmm  Have to go $29.26 and 3 dog chews.

I will bid $4.91 for all those Craftsman handtools he picked up at yardsales and took and traded for new at SEARS.  Also, I will up my bid on the Legacy system to $5, which seems appropriate?

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

It took awhile but I found the Chief's prize and joy............

His John Deere Windmill

Let me tell you about this windmill.  This contraption according to the Chief supplies all the water for Roseyville.   Since he controls the water, guess who gets to be Mayor of Roseyville?  Bingo!!!  Many of you never did catch on why he was the Mayor, now you know.
 
If you purchase this authentic John Deere windmill, you can be Mayor of Roseyville.
 
My bid is My 2 cents

 I know he has been involved in a lot of discussions about Roseyville creating their own water department, and getting away from Ralieigh.  But, I've tried to explain to him that he cannot move the lake to Roseyville now matter how much he wants too. 

I think I will offer $.15 each for the ZW txfmrs that havn't been modified to boat anchors.

I can't bid any higher on the lake house, I was trying to have enough money left to pay the $3.25 taxes. Well maybe I'll win on the broken fishing poles.

Mr. Murphy, wats with this Organic Kibble stuff????  Your from Illinois, your suppose to know how to handle bribes.  Real Stuff or nuthin.  Don't want No Organic Kibbles !!!

 Mr. Sir James I,  THIS IS AN AUCTION !   NOT SOME KINDA OF BENEFIT !!!  EACH THING IS SOLD SPECIFICALLY, NO BIG LOTS PERMITTED,  UNLESS IT IS A LARGE QUANTITY OF SAME ITEMS.  LIKE BROKEN FISHING POLES, OR  ALL THEM TRAIN MAGAZINES.

Mr. RTraincollector,  What do you think I am a  St. Bernard?  Berg would take most of the kibbles if there were that many here at one time.   WE WANT MONEY

 Mr. Ben, You have the idea, you may get that item your the highest bidder.

Mr Berk765, Of course you mean .01 for each item, and remember this isn't a wish list, we dont have any Mustang, but we doo have some deer.

 Mr. Berk765,  Don't want no smakeroos,  Just money, and pleaze read the answer to Mr. Sir James I.

 Mr. Buckey Riveter - Yes the binoculars are included, which pair you want, the one with the broken lens, or the night viewing commando ones, Ok, but just how good a friend are you?  Can I trust you?

Mr. Berk 765,  Did you read the RULES?  Auction ends Tuesday.

Thank you For all your support.  Remember everyone gets a free Berg item.

 


Sorry, I didn't read the rules. I was just joking about the smackeroos, I meant money.

The next item up for auction is the Chief's Ranger Bass Boat with Trailer with a whimpy Merc engine on the back but a nice battery charger under the bow deck.

Although according to the rules, this boat would be mine, but I don't see any need to bid on this boat because it never catches any fish. Besides my boat is bigger and faster than the Chiefs and catches more fish, too.

Buckeye,

That is so very kind of you to put the Chief's boat on the auction block.  It should raise a bunch of money for the Sherman Museum.  I once rode in the boat whilst the Chief tried to fish for minnows.  I don't know why he likes fishing for minnows so much. 

You forgot to tell everyone that the trailer tires are new.  The Chief was really mad when he found some neighborhood dogs peeing on them last year. 

Thank you again, Buckeye.  You are the greatest.  When are you coming down to see us again?

 Well, since the boat is up for auction, that could come in handy.  I will bid $16, would have bid more but since one of the trailer wheels doesn't even touch the ground, must be a bent trailer.

Lucy,

Since you have been such a good sport about this, I going to nominate you for membership in the OHIO TOY TRAIN SUMMIT  (OTTS).
