Finally got a bargin on ebay.
« on: February 23, 2012, 23:47:42 »
I just got back from a business trip and awaiting me was a 75 pound box of stuff I won on ebay.  The ebay picture was a bit fuzzy and I was the only one to bid - total price was about $168, so it was a bit pricey for some unknown stuff.

But after opening the giant box, it contain a 4029 train in poor condition - but it does have the locomotive roofs. 
A 3958 set, engine, uppr car and  western caboose also in poor condition - uprr car is destroyed, see picture.
A transformer with track connector
48 LGB curve tracks, good condition, some tarnish, but only on a few tracks
60 LGB straight tracks, similar condition
1 LGB 30 degree cross over
1 LGB manual left hand switch
1 LGB manual right hand switch

And a bunch of playmobil buildings, most likely imcomplete, but it looks like a colorado station, a freight station, a fort bravo and a sheriff's office.  I'm figuring the track is worth over $168, so everything else was a bonus :)

Here's 2 pictures:

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

That is a great haul, congratulations

Pretty nice deal. Isn't that version of the 4052 supposed to be super rare?

Yes, 4029 is the rare 4052 with US labels and without motor in the tender.
But super rare is the other loco (the small western loco), sold only 1 year and only in the USA: 3958.

the playmobil track powered trains are all getting rarer by the day and so is the LGB track  ::)

Looks like they are missing parts, are you going to hunt them down or custom make them?

You can still buy all the track @ the LGB website (at least here in europe). Finding it in a store in Belgium is nearly impossible. Shame that the yellow wagon is so destroyed.
