[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by dragonriversteel</i> <br /><br />Over the past three months,while searching for kits on e-bay. I always run across collections of tyco junk.Whats the deal with them ? Are they filler cars ,for yards. Are collectors really keeping these loco's and cars for show and tell ? As a kid years ago,I had two tyco train sets...one was a Rock island baldwin sharknose,the other was a IC steel hauler. After they crapped the bed,so to speak. <br /> I got rid of them...retired to the scrap yard. Whats the value of these make believe toy trains ? In my opinion...they were crap then and they are crap now. The only cool freight car ,tyco made and I still hunt for is the operateing clam-shell two bay hoppers. I just don't understand ,what the big deal is about these tyco loco's and car's. I do realize that they have been out of production for years,but sheezzzzzz,26 bidders and 300 bucks for tyco junk. I don't get it...I quess if thats your thing,you'll collect rolls of toilet paper too. This post is not intened to tick anyone off....just my opinion.What that saying...opinion's are like [censored] ,everybody's got one. <br /> <br /> Patrick <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Many people out there collect various items. What may be junk to you may be useable by someone else. . <br />
