Reply to "Antique Store Finds?"

I have developed a friendship with an antique store owner in an old town and we wheel and deal. i have traded a lot of antiques my wife and I had collected over the years ans, in return, I have picked up a lot of decent Lionel post war engines and cars. He gets in hard to find, unusual items. Some need lubed and cleaned to get them running.I have some that look like they have never been un. I also have started doing minor repairs for him to get things like engines and accessories running. Before he paid a guy for a half *** job. Today I picked up a Lionel #315 trestle for 4 ordinary Lionel cars I didn't want.  Too many items to list. A lot of antique stores aren't in to trains but I have two I frequent.
