Just thought I'd give a heads up, looks like a lot of stuff for the price.

That is the late Andy Anderson’s equipment.

I looked at a foundry furnace they had listed several years ago, didn't see the trains but there was quite the pile of rail. They wanted quite a bit more for it at that time.

Andy had a much modified live steam Cagney locomotive as well. That is currently on display at the Boothbay Railway Village. in Boothbay, Maine.
Andy had a large collection of stationary steam engines including a very large marine engine from one of the lake steamers. How Andy dragged that up from the bottom of the lake I will never know! And he got it to run again too!
