I went shopping the other day and found a Bachmann Anneversery 4-6-0 “Annie” for $50. I bought that and 1 combine,onecoach,andone Observation for the sum of $60. There was a yard sale and This man had an indoor Lagre Scale layout and he sold me those items. I told hime that I would have more money soon and he invited me to come back and he would sell me those Bachmann Hoppers and Caboosehe was selling. I’ve got the trains down for real this time.
By the way, today I am leaveing at 9:30 to go to Philidelphia, I’ll see you all on Monday afternoon.
OK, good job, a man after my own heart! Keep scrounging and getting “connected”. Have fun in Philly, I was there earlier this year and had a great time stuffing myself with cheese steaks. See if you can get out to the Unknown Soldier graveyard from the Revolutionary war. Worth the side trip.[oX)]
Great way to start, get the train without the rustmaster tinplate track Bachmann sells. The Annie is a good engine and then cars are also good. Now its tracklaying time.!
Thanks. I did have to do a tiny bit of a price decrease (He Wanted $75 for the loco and another $25 for the caoches. My Grandma was with me. She knows how to Bargin)
I have been scrounging on e-bay and found loads of great deals. I would’ve liked to win all of them but, I only won 3. 1 was a Bachmann RC Santa Fe Big Hauler Set (Green Engine, cars, track, and cntroller), 2 was a Few LGB LG&B Cars (The barrel car and the reefer), and 3 was a Box of 12 LGB 12 inch straights.
The Big Hauler was $10, The LGB cars were $5, and the Track was $7. There are some GREAT Deals on e-bay. I almost won an Accucraft brand new Ruby #1 kit. But I was outbid by only one bid. Oh well. Still I came out great.
Nice going, I think you got real lucky on ebay though, every time I bid on something the $$ goes thru the roof! I have been looking for a old Bachmann Big Hauler, if I had won it, it would be razorsaw foder! I need the parts![:D]
Hey there,
Good for you! Always nice to make those dollars go farther. The ebay deals sure sound good too. Let us know when you have some track down. Later eh…Brian.
I recomend that yopu check E-Bay, I see old Big Haulers in great condition in sets and separetly for less than $20. My sister who is * likes Thomas the Tank Engine and we are looking for the old Thomas and James sets for her. We’ve bought the old building pack from our local hobby store, but he didn’t have the sets as he had just sold them. Can ya’ll tell me where I can find them for under $80?
