  • "The really happy man is one who can enjoy the scenery while taking a detour."
At my age, it is time to begin liquidating my extensive collection of HO scale brass and plastic locomotives and cars. There are some rare brass locomotives dating back to 1952, and the plastic models are collectible out-of-production items from the 1960's and 70's. Since these pieces have been stored in display cases (I currently have no model train layout available), most of the plastic models that I bought new are still in mint condition. The brass locomotives range from mint- to good condition. Original boxes provided, unless noted otherwise.

All locomotives will be test-run prior to shipment. If dissatisfied with any purchase, return the model in original condition within ten days for a full refund of the listed price. NOTE: listed prices do NOT include shipping costs, which will be additional (I prefer to use Priority Mail). All payments may be made securely through PayPal's online services. Any inquiries may be made by contacting me at my herbsdepot@aim.com e-mail account.

Initially there will be the four following lists: List A—Brass HO Scale Coventional Steam Locomotives; List C—Plastic HO Scale Collector (Out-of-Production) Steam Locomotives; List D—Plastic HO Scale Diesel (as well as a few electric) Locomotives; and For Sale—Steam Railroading Books. At this point, no photos are available for any of these pieces. Future lists will include plastic passenger, freight, and specialty railroad cars.


For access to many more model RR items, we suggest you visit Tried and True Trains at www.tttrains.com
