Exactly, Pete, for the right price on a given item, most will roll the dice if they are happy with what they see in the pictures. I was the service tech for a local Lionel shop for many years. So there isnt much that "scares" me when it comes to repairs or refurbuishing a model. I in fact enjoy that facet the most. I would buy a Pre/Postwar Lionel with that type of wording over a much newer model that was made overseas and has spend enough time in a box to need "lubrication". Guess that just comes from growing up with that era and quality of train(just not during the actual golden age of the 50s). I am more gun shy of anything with lots of electronics, diecasting from the far east, sealed motors and sketchy parts availablity. AD
