Title: Want used/new locomotives— student on budget here
Post by: CGudapati on March 24, 2013, 09:45:15 AM
Dear fellow model railroad enthusiasts,

I am a student studying my engineering in Chennai and I was wondering if anybody would like to sell me a used/new loco. I am looking for HO scale and my current budget is 2000 only. I know I can never get a decent working new loco for that amount but if there are some collectors in and around Chennai, who can be generous enough to give me a loco for that rate, I will be eternally indebted to you guys.

Thanks
CG

I might have one but first I have to check the old toy box.  I know I had a couple of HO scale locos one time, don't if they got lost or what.  Do you have Paypal?

Stretch your budget a bit more and you can buy an entire set (brand new) for Rs.4000/-. Check this out:

@thealabres, in case you find some more engines or rolling stock that you would like to dispose off, please let me know.

The engine looks small. I already got a job in Mumbai and I am starting in July. I just need a good loco for now.

No sir,
But I can do bank deposit or any kind of offline payment which is comfortable to you.

wish you would have told me that two years ago.  I gave away about 30 cars (mint, collectable Athearns, bachcman, etc) just to let some ids enjoy them.  Better than them sitting in a box, unplayed with.

It just makes me feel very sad. Anyway, I got a decently job  and i wish to create great layouts. The only problem is, space. Rents in Mumbai are very high.
