I bid on 9 lots, wanted to win 4, won the 4. 1 above what I expected 2 near what I expected and 1 way below what I expected. Bill Davis tends to have buyers already lined up at high prices on many things so I worried if I was bidding against him. I thought most of the passenger cars went where I expected.
I just couldn't get over the endless lots of boxcars in the auction. I'd get through a lot I was interested and then there would be 20-30 lots of boxcars to sit through.
Funny to go through the entire auction list and note the PSC or Pacific Limited boxcars.
PSC did lots of SP outside braced cars along with the B&O M15/M53 and the PRR X29. Their single door 1937 box car, while not as road-specific as Norm Buckhart's Protocraft cars, is a nice model in its own right and quite accuately done.
Jim had most of the PL cars but a few were missing from the auction as of yet. Considering how flimsy/sloppy the MP 1932 cars are they fetched a ridiculous premium price. He had quite the number of PL-1450 NYC cars... but then again so do we, don't we Brad?
