FYI, there are some Yahoo groups "out there" for both N (and HO scale) called "N Scale Yard Sale" (and "HO Yard Sale") where members buy, sell and trade model RR items. Not sure if there are "yard sales" for any other scales?? I'm a member of the "N Scale Yard Sale" and have bought a few items, sold a couple and met several nice model RRing (email) "pen pal" buddies. Might be a good place for you to find that long discontinued item or a replacement for that microscopic part you dropped on the living room carpet... Tom G.
HO Yard Sale is now called HO Interchange. Here is the link: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/HOInterchange/info GS
