"You know one of the things that I always look for and I hear a lot of inquires for in my shop, railroad memorabilia. Anything that has to do with trains and I kind of reconnected on train things when I went on a train trip and on the trip were all these train freaks and they would just sit there talking about trains along with looking out the window and I am thinking I didn’t know anybody would be that interested in trains, but they are. So there are all kinds of things to collect about trains. This train is an engine that I picked up, now this is an engine, it looks like a Lionel but I have got to check closer, a Lionel engine, this one happens to be metal, there are some that are plastic, this is a metal one. This one is probably from my period, this one actually, you can adjust it and it blows up smoke, it is very cool. If you buy trains, you try to find a complete set, they are much more valuable in a complete set, very tough sell to see the engine without the coal car on the back but anyway I would buy trains like this if you could pick them up cheap even if they are in bad condition. There are all types of sizes, there is HO, there is a smaller gauge. Train people are absolutely train junkies, and so I really recommend especially if you have the boxes for Lionel trains, phenomenal, the boxes are worth a lot of money, the original box from the original Mac, Apple is worth three hundred dollars, believe it or not.
