My Walthers F-M H10-44 just arrived from an E-Bay seller. It's over 10 years old, very lightly used, with handrails still in the wrapper and included the instruction sheet and original box. I think the model has been unavailable,as new, for some time. For me, that's the caveat that makes E-Bay so valuable, finding those long out of production items. As you know, hobby items can go out of production very quickly, never to be heard from again. I'm at an age where I can't wait for company "X" to re-issue an engine or whatever, if they ever do. I won't overpay just to win, and I try to shop carefully, but for 50 bucks plus shipping, I felt the FM was a good deal (retail was $79.95). I've also purchased a Spectrum GE 70 tonner, a Kato Alco RS-2 and a Mantua camelback 0-4-0 on E-Bay, all well worth the money to me. Could you even find those items in a LHS today? For current items, I'll use an on-line store and buy new. For the long gone things, however, E-Bay has been a godsend for me! <br /> <br />Regards; <br />smyers
