Jim Z posted:Buddy L at the gift shop at the McComick Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale, Arizona. The train on the top shelf of the display cabinet on the model railroad building is the only Lionel OO I have ever seen. It is almost as large as S gauge American Flyer. This is a must visit if in the Phoenix area. There are huge, and I mean huge layouts in O, HO/ HOn3,and N scale. There are two Z scale layouts and numerous displays.

That Buddy L set is a pretty rare and expensive item sitting up there, unprotected on that shelf. I'd love to have one on display in my train room. However, I could buy my son a nice used car and have some money left over for a new driveway for what that would cost. A set like that went for $23,000 at auction a few years ago.
