WHAT AN UNSPEAKABLE SIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would never even consider throwing away a train or any train-related item (or anything else for that matter) away! I'm one who belives that nothing should ever be thrown away unless it is completely detroyed and even then perhaps it shouldn't be because it might be of use to someone. In fact, I save many things that other people would throw away and toss them on my HO layout to represent old junk or whatever that's lying around (it looks good, too). As far as finding trains that have been thrown away, a friend of mine was given a 1920's Hafner Canadian Pacific tinplate passenger car by a friend of his who wasn't interested in trains that had found it in a garbage dump. It was in mint condition and is worth over $300. I was once given an engine that a coworker of my dad's had found in his garage that he said he wold have thrown away otherwise. Also, Richard Kughn, who in 1986 would become the president of Lionel, found his first Lionel train set in a garbage can as a boy.
