Hi, everyone. The I.C. is "the railway of choice" for me. I've got an E-bay account, awhile back. I've bought a few items. like Walt Disney DVDs for the kids. I've have'nt bought any model railroading items, from there yet. Are the models pretty good,as far as getting good working engines. Not being damaged? I've seen some good model items, I could use, but unsure to buy. I like all I.C. stuff. I model mostly I.C. I.C. stuff is hard to find from different manufactures. I buy alot of stuff at swap meets too. THANKS for listening.[:)]

I've seen where you can buy lots of items engines,cars,structures. any kind of model r.r. items on E-bay.Im just causious about model r.r. items, because there so breakable. I need to get more buildings for my layout. I'd like to get a couple of factorys or a machine shop to go with them.Good luck ICMR and I hope you can find a great deal on an item. I'm very tempted to try ebay out, for model r.r. items too.

the price might go up near the end- big tip- DON'T BID UNTIL THE LAST FEW HOURS- BIDDING EARLIER ONLY CAUSES THE PRICE TO GO UP HIGHER (it's fun to get it in the last few seconds)

Soundsfine. I personally wouldn't buy a DCC system from ebay for the simple fact it's such a major investment. But if you want to go right ahead.
