My most memorable purchase was a beautiful hand-built model of the HellGate Bridge I bought from a very talented guy in the Orange Hall a few years ago. Although it is "foreshortened" (like the Lionel/MTH versions), my layout is too small for it. I have it displayed in my train room. It was, IMO, a bargain at $325. I would not part with it at any price (well, maybe $10,000. ).
