There is an auction of G scale trains at Goodwill. The rub is pick up only. Pretty bulky. Loco and cars are about the size of a shoebox and there is 5 of them plus tracks. I'd pay the shipping of course and toss in extra for gas and tape and stuff.

It's big enough that the kid won't destroy it when we put up the Christmas tree.

Pick up is 9-7 on Monday, and 9-3 Tuesday through Friday. Address is 7051 W. Broadway Ave
Brooklyn Park, MN 55428

It ends tomorrow around 7pm. Let me know if you can grab it. I appreciate it in advance.

Yeah, I still owe you Christmas pictures of the nuggets in awe of the big train under the tree.

Regardless of what happens next, thank you both.

Got em dirt cheap. Will contact Easter Seals tomorrow for exact pick up instructions. It will probably be 25-30 lbs. No matter, I'll pay it. Hit up my e-mail so we can exchange addresses, etc...

WOOT!
