The train set I want has become a "collectible"

Michael HokkanenOGR Forum Member

Decided to buy my son and his fiance a decoration for their tree, namely a Strasburg RR train set. Now, after checking with my LHS and a few other train stores I am seeing that they are "out of stock" and "no longer available"... In another words, good luck getting one at a reasonable price now. I wanted a train representative of Pennsylvania as my son and future wife live in New Orleans and I thought it would be a good reminder of his roots...

Off to my LHS today to find "other" PA themed trained sets. Fortunately, there are a few out there.

Found a set, free shipping on the 'Bay. Item #400153612931. This is a passenger set, $399. There are other components, locos, freight cars and passenger cars available too. Hope this helps. Bob Severin

"The train set I want has become a collectible"

Not exactly a collectible. It's just a train set that has been sold for a long enough time that there aren't a great many left for sale at dealers. Like everything that is not continuously remade, after it hits the market, it begins to sell out. Googling it, there are a number of these sets around shown for sale, though.
