Craigslist Weekend Score | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Found a Craigslist add on Saturday for MTH Railking train set. Quick text to verify it was available and was a PS2 engine according to MTH website as a PS2 3volt. Came home Sunday morning with a GN 2-8-0, Coal hopper, gondola, tanker, box car, caboose, small MTH house, Z750 transformer and 27 pieces of MTH track for $125.00. Engine only has 16 scale miles.

Kicker is the wife said I should go buy it. What a jaw dropper that was.

A super good buy, the MTH 2-8-0's are excellent runners.

It's not often you can find any good trains on Craigslist let alone a good deal. I have found that most people selling trains think all older Lionel trains are worth a lot of money. You got a good deal, keep looking you never know.

You got a good deal and when the wife says yes you got the best of both worlds.....Paul

This was on CL for 17 days. Can't figure why nobody snatched this up.
