Title: Scrooge Collieries Car
Post by: glennk28 on December 12, 2007, 03:14:15 AM
I like the "Scrooge Collieeries" lettering on the On30 hopper--will/is the same paint job to be done on the Big Hauler hopper? (not the Spectrum)--that one definitely belongs below the tree.

GJ,

Yes they are out there, the stock number is 98278.   They show up from time to time on EBAY, but I would check first with Trainworld or St Aubin's for the best price.  They bring a pretty fair price on ebay!!

Happy hunting!

Thanks--I have the On30 version on order with St.Aubin--I'll try there first.  The On30 will be changed to On3 and operated in regular service to Monero--gj

There was one on Ebay just last month it sold for $52.  Try posting a Want It Now ad on Ebay.   Also start trying smaller dealers advertizing in Garden Railways.

Best of luck!!
