Pittsburgh train sale

So why are you telling everyone?

Because there are lots of forumites in this region who might like to know about the sale.

Mark, thanks for the heads up.

Wonder if its going to be a auction sale or just a large garage sale featuring trains? Either way, if I lived in the tri-state area and was involved in "O" Gauge trains I would be there. Never know what goody you might find. Thanks for the information Mark.

Photos show lots of MTH, new Lionel, some old AF and HO.

Too bad he is doing this on a  Saturday. It's right by my office

I did a google for the name and nothing came up.  I've never heard that hobby shop name mentioned in this area.  Out of state?  Might be some bargains to be found.

Two words,... Long lunch.

What ever happened to the fellow that purchased Frank Hare's store?

Hi Jimmy:

After they closed the store in 2012 they were selling on eBay for awhile.  But that’s a good thought as this could be some of their inventory especially with that pre-war American Flyer in the photo which Frank liked.

The other store I was trying to remember was not in Ingram, but on Ingram Avenue in Crafton and the owner’s name was John Sacco.

I checked it out this morning.  Pictures are deceiving - looks like there is a lot more than what was really in this small room.  No bargains, most items marked close to retail.  Didn't look like seller really wanted to get rid of the stuff.  As is, no returns, no guarantee so you would think the items would be priced to move.

Any indication of which closed store it was from?

Bill

No indication as to store.  Sale was being run by some ladies.  Odd that prices were marked in pen on blue tape stuck to each box.
