This Friday evening @ 7 pm EDT, we are selling some items in a short-notice sale at a storage unit in Alexandria, VA. I don't expect many CB&Q fans/collectors/modelers but word has gone out to a lot of D.C./Northern VA modelers/collectors. What doesn't sell will be listed via CB&Q yahoo later inc. all the china the newer HO models ones Bob bought post-1990. Below are nearly all NIB, mint, not even test run in case of locomotives. All in safe climate controlled storage since 1980s; thus all listed date earlier inc. metal Varney, etc from 1950s. If you see something you want, offer a fair price & email me by 10 pm EDT Thusday evening or call my cell on Fri (641) 390-2006. I will sell, on behalf of Bob's sons, anything at a fair offer. I.E. if a brass engine or passenger car is going for $100 on ebay, at hobby shops & RR shows, I'll accept $80. I want to be fair to his boys but also want to get the items sold. Other items will be listed to CB&Q Yahoo & BRHS mbrs as Bob wanted his fellow Q fans to share his love of the Burlington. Will NOT sell to dealers. This is a great chance for Q fans tp get top quality CBQ items at best prices ever. Do NOT hesitate! Some of you have already emailed me asking if Bob had certain items and what you would pay - those will be honored.
Note too there a lot of model & proto magazines back to 1930's in case of 'Railroad' and MRpus Trains from "71-91, Mode RRing, Rail Model Journal, Toy Train, etc etc. Again, his china, silver, hollowware, etc will be listed and sold later along with models purchased in 1990's & beyond inc. brass, quality plastic, etc. Thanks! Gerald Edgar
