I anyone is interested...ATSF
brass.

The
point of this message is that I know several railroad historical
societies
that do not advertise regularly in their publications etc.
that they will
help relatives dispose of the deceased loved ones toys,
books, and other
railroadania. The tax write off can benefit the
relatives and the income, or
in this case part of the income, can benefit
the society. To be successful,
this message needs to be repeated over
and over again and then again in
publications, at meetings and conventions,
and one on one at shows with
current and prospective members. Send each
member a form to fill out and give
to their relatives the desire and the process.
It could be included when you
mail calendars and renewal forms etc and handed
out at shows and
meetings.
Then, of further interest to me is the contents of the message.
The passenger
and freight car "minimum bid amounts" are awful close to
original retail. I don't
know anything about the steam and diesel
locomotives. That tells me those
boxes of "gold" engines in the basement may
not be worth what I paid for them
in a couple more years. That said, when I
get my test track/layout up again I
think I will get them all out and play
with them even though they may not be
painted or have decoders installed. I
originally bought each of them to play with
not sit in a display case to get
dusty or in a closet as an investment.
Check this out.
