Tim’s Trains has been fortunate enough to acquire a very large and highly detailed HO scale, L&N model railroad. This layout has numerous highly detailed buildings, vehicles, rolling stock and engines. Many of the detailed engines have sound or DCC included. You have to see the items to believe the level of detail, and weathering.
Due to the number of items associated with this acquisition, we DO NOT have an itemized inventory. Also, the merchandise for sale will be delivered at various times over the next few months. We do not know which items will be arriving with each drop off. Shop OFTEN to see the changes!!
