I buy alot of used cars at swap meets."Heck some of the wheathering is done for you hahaha, but I'll change the trucks or couplers some times. One time I picked up ten fairly decent cars for $10.00. Four box cars,two tankers,and four 3 bay hoppers. I wheathered them up abit they looked good. I have had some bad luck before,at swap meets too. There was this elderly guy who had a booth of used steamers. They all looked great, it was a Bachmann, baldwin 2-8-0 consolidation , but the one I bought was junk. I payed $20 got it home and it ran maybe 10 min. and died . Its now a display model. but thats the price you pay some times. This might be off the topic but ,The hobby shop I buy from is a great place. I think a good hobby shop should be a place, where you feel like family. A place where you can sit and talk about all the great memories, fun ,and ideas. A place where you dont feel rushed and the owner is always a best friend. [:)][tup][yeah]
