Old O Gauge Track

@TheClutchGuy,

If its not a large amount of track and if you are not needing the money I suggest you donate the track to someone. Lets call a early Easter gift. You will come away with a good feeling.

I agree with ADCX Rob,  The track with "NY" does sell on eBay.  Even with light rust or paint, the can clean up nicely with a dremel tool and a wire brush attachment.  People are buying the old switchs so why not the track. 

great score on the 2253's!

Funny what Rob said. I currently have a small batch of Realtrax on eBay that I couldn't sell here, and I'm embarrassed what it's up to on eBay right now. I almost feel like adding a few pieces to the current auction!

Haven't been there in awhile but one of the LHS' always had bags of rusty crusty tubular track for like 20 pieces for a buck.

I had some super-o track that needed cleaning I gave to a friend. That stuff looks like a real pita to clean!

Clutch...I am actually looking for tubular track for donation for my elementary emotional support/autistic classroom. I posted on the Wanted section of OGR. https://ogrforum.com/d...ent/2415514336647241

 

I am using trains/track to work on positive behavior reinforcement, teach about trains, teamwork, and building things. I have some older trains and some old tubular that my dad passed down. We have just started to play with the track and learn how it works as you can see from the pictures. So far it has been a positive teaching experience for the kids.

 

If you are looking to sell them, I certainly understand. I have been very appreciative of the OGR members that have helped.

Fastrack is the same way.  Goes for MSRP or more, sometimes before shipping even.

Brian, I would be very happy to donate the track to your project. There are 18 pieces of 031 curves and 2 pieces of 1/2 straights. I will check out your post on the wanted section forum.

I learned something about Ebay I didn't know when it comes to the run up in prices.  A friend does quite well selling toys that most in a metro area wouldn't give a second look.  We live in a very large country and many do not have access to a LHS or a train meet.  The Bay provides a source that didn't exist for that segment of the population.  The prices you see are what it is worth to them.  It certainly cannot hurt to try to sell it.

I have watched a number of Fastrack auctions for accessories and track go for MSRP and higher, and you can buy all of them at substantial discounts at many on-line sellers.  Simply boggles the mind.
