Here you go.
For $150, you can buy 75 Tyco cars.
That’s only two bucks per piece of junk, guys.
Have a good day !

WOW! And there is FREE shipping too!
Even at $2 a car, that is too much for that entire grouping. Some of the cars as individuals might be much more desirable than others of course. For that same $150, I would search out the Athearn/MDC/Accurail cars/kits I really wanted.
look like nothing but junk to me, $10.00-$20.00 is what I would pay. Even at that I think it would be over paying.
Yeah. Horn hooks and plastic wheels on Talgo trucks. I’ll pass on this one, thanks.
I’ve have some Tyco cars that I rebuilt into good looking models. However those are the exception, not the rule. Many Tyco (as well as Bachmann, Life-Like and some others) cars still look like junk after being rebuilt.
LOL
Well stated, Jeff.

$68.25 shipping, does not seem free to me.
OOH OOH maybe there is something colectible in those 75 cars
Way too expensive!!

On the other hand here is a Mantua/Tyco Gon where I removed the orginal underframe and substituted an Athearn 40’ Boxcar underframe, installed wire grabs and painted and lettered the car with Oddballs decals!
Right now I am in the process of kitbashing the old AHM/Bothcmann Bread Box Coil Gon into a more realistic version of the P&LE/B&LE Coil Gon.

I have some great childhood memories of Tyco trains in the early 1970’s, but that’s about it. We get a lot of old HO trains at the rail museum from local people cleaning out their basements and garages, so I always ask if they are ok with me giving them to families who visit and want to start a layout or just something to make a kids day. I personally weeded out about six totes of old trains given to me years ago from old B&O and Erie RR guys who had the stuff laying around. I have the good memories, no need to re-live those days though!

Where do you see that? I see Free Economy Shipping.
tatans…
There certainly is free shipping (economy). If you want it fast, you will pay thru the nose
Well, plastic wheels on most of them. Some don’t even have trucks.
It is Free to the Lower 48 states.
It is $68.25 if shipped to Canada.
Rich
OK. I can see that. That means those in Alaska and Hawaii will have to pay too.
Hmm, Actually, I have one of the hopper cars on my layout. With body mount Kadee’s, a shot of DullCote and a coal load it looks pretty good. There is a red MobilGas tank car that could be cool. I’ve picked up plenty of onsie-twosy stuff like that at train shows. Not sure if I am up for 75 of 'em for $150, but then my rolling stock roster is pretty much full. In fact it’s overfull.
In my neighborhood, they collect on Mondays.
They need to send the “collectors” to Timonium and a few other train shows. My goodness there was tons of Tyco and AHM junk trains for sale, more than you could shake a stick at. For some reason people just won’t let it go and haul to year after year to the train shows by the truck load. I doubt anymore than a infinitesimal fraction actually sells at any given show.
Tuesdays here. Same day they collect brass track.
