[CBQ] Long post: O scale on eBay, Indiana O scale brass auction, Mr. Corbin's models

["atsf90" <atsf3460@aol.com>]

Just an FYI for the O scalers... there is and has been a lot of O scale models 
on eBay recently listed by a seller that goes by the name:

mwinternetauctionsonmain

I suspect much of this was purchased at an auction at Stout Auctions held 
February 28th and 29th in Williamsport, IN for resale on eBay.  
mwinternetauctionmain lists an address on eBay as being in Cynthianna, KY.  I 
don't think it's a stretch to think they may have bought all this stuff from 
Stout and are now reselling on eBay.  (I haven't gone thru Stout's listing to 
confirm if any of the items are identical).

The auction held by Stout's was a large O scale collection with a lot of brass 
models.  The collection was owned by a Don Lake.  Has anyone heard of him?  I 
didn't attend but wish I had.  There are a bunch of O scale CB&Q steam models 
that were sold and I suspect many of them are scratchbuilt.  How many people 
were building accurate O scale models of CB&Q steam?  Are any of these models 
Mr. Corbin's stuff.  If you go to Stout auctions page and look at the February 
28th auction just type CB&Q into the search box and take a look at what was 
sold.  I'd love to know if anybody knows if these models were the work of Mr. 
Lake's or possibly Corbin.
