Yesterday I saw an ad on Craigslist for "Lionel track for free" so I responded and told the guy I'd pick it up today. When I got there, he had 3 large boxes filled with O-scale track, switches (at least 8) & crossover pieces and another box had pre-war track and pre-war switches. A lot of the track is in good condition and was stored in the house, not in the garage or basement. The only stuff with some rust is the pre-war box. He also threw in 2 transformers, some green incline pieces?, and a trestle.
I was amazed that he wanted to give it away for free and also that he never mentioned the other items on craigslist. He said that he had given his trains away to nephews and they opted to buy fast-track so he just wanted to get this stuff out of his house and didn't want to take the time to post it all on ebay. I told him it was all going to a good home and that he made my month!
