Sitting here watching storage wars and the Nabila chick buys a unit with a train set in it, she goes through it and pulls out a four axle UP bachman, typical cheap one powered truck, starter set type dud. She then holds it up and says "oh this is a good one, must be worth at least $200." Who says there's nothing funny on tv anymore :) those are four dollar units at my hobby shop that people buy to practice weathering or cannibalize for a rebuild.
Lol ! Id like to find a storage bin full up of overland Modern Locos anything from 90's to Present! Now that I would be happy about
I'd buy cardboard boxes filled with HO rolling stock at the flea market in Texas for around 20 bucks. The last one I bought before I moved back to KY had 90 pieces in it. About 60 of them had knuckle couplers already installed. I bought 4 sets of an N scale bachmann ATSF F unit with 2 cars and a caboose for 3 bucks each. I gave one to my uncle, sold one for 15 bucks and kept two for myself.

Similar to that set in the link.
KIT can you post your engine in a large picture. That is a classic.
thanks KIT. What is it? Looks like a yard engine but made like and old GP.
That's a H12-44 Fairbanks Morse, looks to be a later model one as it doesn't have the cab overhang like earlier one's did. FM did some cost cutting measures in later years so I am told.
