The train Room

The Blackbird (1 of 2 Produced)

I have traded on ebay since Sept 1997. My transactions for the first 3 years are under the User Name Choochoo21(100% rating) with my late train buddy Frank Cetta. My ebay dealings are typically with: Toy trains, F Body- Camaros & Firebirds, and Merchant Marine apparel. My TCA member number is 97-44647. I'm a 2nd generation TCA member (97-44647), my Dad, Cooper, was 66-1571. I make it a point to bring the integrity of this fine organization to all my ebay transactions.

My toy train story goes like this:

When I was 18 mos. old my Dad came home with a 2383 Santa Fe AA set and a dozen NH 6464 cars (we lived in Bridgeport,Ct). When my mother queried as to what justified the weeks pay indulgence, he replied without hesitation "They're for Bobby".(Ya Right) Well, he did teach me how to run them and the rest, as they say, is history 

This is a great hobby. Some say an addiction (some are probably right).
I collect mostly Lionel- all era's, and anything else with a New England  roadname B&A, B&M, BAR, NH, MBTA.

To support my train habit I drive ships(USCG Master, unlimited tonnage, MASS MARITIME ACADEMY '85, Tabor Academy)- My loving wife is often supportive and always curious as to what I've sold lately and very interested in "what did you buy?". It's definately a family hobby.

B&A hudson w/7 cars and both cabooses,

2544W set of 2383 ABA w/ Red Stripe cars,
