Auction in Charlotte -- Railroad Content

[NW Mailing List]

This item showed up in the latest "Trains" magazine Newswire as a sponsored
ad, for two auctions being held in Charlotte, NC, in August. I checked out
the link and found that there are some interesting items being offered,
including N&W caboose 518528 and the cab from N&W J 600.

Item 406 is 518528. The bay-window cab is a Southern caboose. If you click
on the "Photo Galleries" link on the listing page, you can see pictures of
the items in the auction (multiple photos of some of them). If you click on
the "Online Bidding" you will go to another site that has links to this
auction (and another one at the same time) that has more photos and allows
you to register and bid from the comfort of your own home, so you don't even
have to travel to Charlotte to try to land your own caboose or signals or
whatever else strikes your fancy (like one of the track speeders).

Happy perusing and good luck bidding.
