	1/87 #865 Balboa Brass Southern Pacific - Streamliner Golden State Train Cars - Baggage Mail / Pullman Sleeper / Dining / Vista Dome / Observation VG Metal old			$650
	Brass hand crafted and painted Japanese HO train from Balboa Katsumi Scale Models. The original Katsumi blue hardbox has some wear but is solid. Inside, this set is in investment grade condition. The Golden State is the rarest of the Balboa streamlined kits. This is the first time that I have ever seen this complete set available and in mint condition. The set consists of a Baggage Mail Car, a Pullman sleeping car, a Dining Car. a Vista Dome Car and an Observation Car. All cars are internally lit. The original foam rubber and coupler pockets are included, as well as coach seating kits in the original bags, waiting to be installed. The paint is all factory and each car is mint. All cars are still protected in the original clear plastic sleeves. It would be difficult to find a better set. Postal insurance will be required.

	HO #34 OK Herkimer Metal Streamliner Baggage Car - HO Scale Metal Kit VG++ Metal old			$32
	Please read the article on this website about older HO train kits and the modeling revolution they caused in the late 1930s/1940s. During this time, OK (Herkimer Tool and Model Works) created a line of real metal streamliner cars. The ends and body are made from cast aluminum. If you polish them and assemble the model, the look like the real thing. The kit comes with fully assembled Talgo metal trucks, predrilled floors, sealed small parts and NMRA couplers. The aluminum is in excellent condition and has not corroded. The model has not been started and is complete.

	HO #168 Ye Olde Huff-N-Puff Hart Gondola 40 Foot - Michigan Central RR - (Silver Streak) - HO Wood and Metal Kit Exc++ Wood_Metal old			$29
	Please read the article on this website about older HO train kits and the modeling revolution they caused in the late 1930s/1940s. During this time, Silver Streak created some of the most detailed and realistic rolling stock model that have ever been made. In most cases, wooden parts on the prototype are also wooden parts on the kit - same for metal parts. When you build them, they look just like the prototypes since they are made of the same materials. The model is factory painted and lettered for the Michigan Central. The paint is in new condition. This kit has wooden sides (since the real hopper did), other wooden parts, and metal underframe and details. and includes all underside and interior details of the hopper as well. The model has not been started and is complete.

	HO #P-7 Megow HO Plate Girder Bridge VG Wood old			$32

	1/87 #1-320 Menzies Northern Pacific HO Metal/Wood Boxcar Craftsman Kit (Ex-Athearn) Metal old			$28
	In the late 1940s/early 1950s there was a revolution in model railroading: high quality kits became available for the first time. Before this, there were few standard gauges and most railroads were scratch built to any gauge the collector desired. This kit is the Menzies reissue of the classic Athearn kit. These kits build very realistic models because parts that are metal on the real box car are metal in the kit; same for the wooden parts. All sides, doors and roof are fully decorated (and in mint condition), leaving very little painting. Includes wooden floor, opening doors, metal underside and detail fittings such as AB brake set, brake wheel, etc. Kit has not been started and is complete with all parts and instructions. These kits did not come with trucks, but I have included a good set of used boxcar trucks. These make great stand alone models or high-quality rolling stock for your line. Some modeling skills recommended.
