Reply to "How does the lower prices on modern used trains effect your buying of new trains?"

I function as a "roach motel" for trains. Trains check in but they don't check out. When I buy them they stay bought. That said, for the last few years, I have been mulling over the idea of getting into selling, but I don't need to in order to finance new trains. That's a good thing too, because what I want to get rid of is mostly MPC and has little value.

When it comes to new trains, I don't buy steam engines, and I don't care about new technology. All I want is TMCC engines that run well. I don't care about Legacy, or sound, or smoke, and DCS and conventional are not allowed on my railroad.

I actually have a pretty good fleet built up. My main focus for new purchases is really on cars. I'm getting more discerning as the fleet grows. That's why I just ordered 6 sets of the new Atlas Maxi IV sets.

Anyone want some MPC cheap?
