Check out this auction everyone, I got both of these for one price.!! Sure there only a couple of Athearn Blue box units, both powered and GP-38’s if I’m right??(you know I love em) but it was still a heck of a deal!!! At this price I can afford to spend some time and a little money if necessary to make them right.

WOW!!!- great buy- I love the b-b Gp38-2’s myself- mine is missing the handrails and # boards- great runners they are- i HIGHLY recommend you lube the driveshafts, gears , and bearings- mine sat for 2 years and when run it squealed terribly.(til’ i lubed it as described above)
really nice buy! A recommendation, you might want to try train shows for old athearn bb’s, I was seeing them between $5 to 10
Yeah?..but they’re diesel! [:P] (Just kidding.) Nice buy there, Joey! [tup]

it’s amazing many people don’t like b-b beacause they are loud- who cares (real trains are loud)
If you have the time and are patient, you get great deals like yours. Congrats.
I have been buying a bunch of stuff on ebay. You got to set a price in your head on what you are willing to pay for an item. Since I switched from HOn3 to HO, and modeling a more present time period. There are some great deals. I also have resently sold some stuff on ebay, and did very well also.
Yep. You did get a sweet deal. I have a pair of GP50’s both powered units and in the oringinal boxes I bought last wenter on ebay to! The seller had a buy it now for $20.00 and $7.00 for shipping. The listing was only about 10 minutes old, so I jumped on it! They are there if you can find them on ebay!
Nice deal…Enjoy!..Cox 47
There’s…a…price you can find on a coat that’s sublime…That’s on eBay…
Gotta love it.[;)]
Yeah, I’ve had a good week there, too. I got an Observation Car to round out my Mantua passenger train (pre-Beatles stuff) for $9 and an Engine house for 10 bucks. Then, I watched in astonishment as a pile of 9 little plastic street lights went up beyond 37 bucks, plus shipping! I kept quiet on that one. I’m happy, and I’m sure the seller is, too.
I got a 4-6-2 for under $20
Nice buy!!!
I agree with you 100%

this looks like a good deal 3 engines and a bunch of cars-none of that stuff would fit with my layout
Let us know how they run.
