Default Buy a locomotive, filling station, bridge, etc.

I'm having an auction this summer of my railroad collection. You all need to start thinking outside of all of this rubber tired stuff and go to steel on steel.....

www.minermfgco.com/auction

Sorry, no muscle cars or parts at this sale!

And to put it in terms you gearheads understand, how about a 2004 cubic inch V8 (a REAL big block), 6 3/4 bore x 7" stroke, and about 1500 ft/lbs at 800 RPM (it idles at about 200 RPM and would probably explode at 1300).

Very neat! Just out of curiosity, have any videos been made from Minerville ? My 4 yr old Nephew is a train nut. I recently found several boxes of old and new VHS and DVD documentaries and short films about old trains at a hobby shop and made the owner an offer and took them all home. The Nephew loves them. I wonder if your place is on any of them. I wish you the very best with your health and with the auction.

Tommy
