This page may take a while to develop into actually selling items because I can't figure out what to part with. I have the large Lionel Standard Gauge units plus my own 1950's vintage trains and Plasticville of childhood days and a ton of HO stuff that I enjoyed building lay-outs with ... but no time to enjoy any of it. I either have to start selling it or start my second childhood. Plus all those tools and lanterns, pictures and timetables from this Mechanicville, NY Rail Yard area ... well, let's see what develops.

Fate - Root - Heath, Co. of Plymouth, Ohio Engine and Train
This Engine and Passenger Car of the Fate, Root, Heath, Company of Plymouth, Ohio was an attraction at the defunct Frontier Town in the Adirondack town of North Hudson, NY. It was sold this past year with track and switches at auction. I wanted it but where to put it? I even offered to act as agent for any
buyer but I found none at the time for this little jewel. I don't know the details of sale but it is now history. If any one out there in TV Land wants something like this in the future, let me know. Another deal always surfaces. But you need cash in hand and unhesitating candor. Plus, shipping or
delivery arrangements can be expensive and time consuming. Seek and ye shall find is my belief.

Need a Boxcar or a Bridge?
You never know what one finds out and about on the back roads of old USA. Several cars and caboose abandoned on a forgotten spur or a bridge to your Private Island. The limit to one's toys is only judged by pocket size of the boys. I'm always willing to help spread the
wealth.

Anyone Want to Create a Super Train
Layout?
Well, I'm sure there is but you also
have to be near Mechanicville (or want
to travel on occasion) and want to work
on this project more as a labor of love,
hobby or Historic Preservation. I am
seriously considering transforming my 38
North Main Street basement floor into a
massive layout depicting the City of
Mechanicville in HO Scale with the old
Train Yard. Naturally we can't do
the whole of Five Square Miles plus (I
only have a 30' X 60' layout space) ...
but we can pick the dominate aspects of
the area. Like the Train Yard, the
City proper, the Trestle Bridge over the
Hudson River, the Champlain Canal and
the Barge Canal that it replaced, also
the West Virginia Paper Mill, Schools,
Mills, and Brickyards. I didn't
think that was exciting enough either so
I want to do it at the turn of the
Century, say 1895 to 1915. Oh yes,
all in working order and full operation,
naturally. Add a Railroad Museum,
Repair Shop and Gift and Book Store and
you begin to get an idea of the scope of
this dream project. What a tourist
attraction we could build.
Anyone out there want to get involved in
building a super Train Layout?
