Lot 374: Lionel 6-1487 Broadway LTD Train Set - Incomplete
... once owned by Richard P. Kughn himself!
A good auction nonetheless - got me the Century Club F3s (brand new) for $280, some NYC rolling stock bundle for $90, and a Lionel D&H Alco C-420 #412 brand new for $210...
Was wondering when I saw the ad for that auction if the claim to be part of the Kughn collection was legitimate. Specifically, broken trains and incomplete sets seemed suspect, as even I don't own anything in such a state and certainly am not at Kughn's level. Can anyone confirm?
What, me worry?
There's this article: For the Love of Lionel: The Collection of Richard P. Kughn

Thanks for the link to that article, but it plays to my initial impression maybe the good stuff really was from the Kughn collection and P&H threw in odds and ends without disclaiming. Will presume it was all on the up and up since it's too late to participate. Congratulations on your purchases.
What, me worry?
Actually there are two more auctions... This was part three of five ~
Next one is November 6th I believe...
