To all:
Actually, I'm not particularly happy about what I've just witnessed here. In the past 5 hours, some of you have managed to turn a legitimate inquiry started my Thommo, completely hijacked the thread, and turned it into some sort of haggler's meet. IMHO, these last 3+ pages should have been primarily handled via PM between the interested parties.
If I had stumbled across all this earlier, I would have locked it because it had detracted from the OPs initial post. The only reason I opened up this thread again was to find out how it could go from 18 posts to 72 posts in such a short period of time.
I am not against finding good homes for unused or underutilized locomotives, rolling stock, or equipment. What I am against is monopolizing someone else's thread for things that should be handled in private - even if no money is being exchanged.
In the future, please keep this sort of activity to PMs or e-mails; NOT on someone's ELSE'S thread. Thank you for your consideration.
In the meantime...The balcony is closed!

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

jeffrey-wimberly wrote:OK, New Haven, you had first pick. It's yours along with the switcher. PM your mailing address to me and I'll send them out the end of the month. You wouldn't believe the cash offers I've gotten. I'm not interested in cash. It doesn't seem so important when you don't have much.
jeffrey-wimberly wrote:Oh boy, now we got a cash fight. New Haven, what say you. I really just wanted to give this away.

It's one of the old DC only models that has the motor grounded to the frame. I think I want it. Just to check, is uninsured shipping free fo me? And can I see the MP swicter?Can he get BOTH?

I had to hardwire it after the light board burned out. Jeff, I'm takin the GP-30. Sorry Packer, but I'm geetin it! Jeff, I'll send you a pm with my address. Once you get my adress, never, ever use it again until I say so. Agreed?

The search for the innards of a P2K GP30 continues
EDIT: As a last ditch effort to get the GP30, I'll pay 10 bucks plus the price of shipping.
