Nason Prewar American OO Scale Bronze NYC J-1A Hudson & Tender! If you are closer you can trust that the charges will be commensurately cheaper depending on distance. You pay what we pay. In most cases this eats up any combined discount and may result in the final price being more expensive than the sum of the original quoted prices. Here is a seldom seen OO gauge Hudson by Nason railways in French cast bronze circa 1936-38. This one is a 3 rail model in that it is not insulated for 2 rail operation. Nicely built and complete less the original powertrain. These were challenging kits and beautifully made. Seldom surface for sale! Divorce forces sale, stay single, get a dog.

Try to find a pair! 97 Years old and Working!!! Rare in any Condition! Working order, see photos! Extremely Scarce 1928 Ives Boulevard 1882 Lamp Post. Both have been tested and are in working order. Both lamps are mottled and have crazing at bases. 1 light bulb is out but will include an extra repop. Looks like a small clear spot of clear enamel near the crazing line on one of the bases.. But i could be wrong. Either way both shafts are structurally strong and are still being held together originally. 1 bulb sits in socket a little crooked but can be fixed to be straight if you take the socket out and reposition it. Please look at all pics and judge condition for yourself. If you need anymore photos please ask. Very tough to find!
