Good deals (N Scale)

Figured I share some good deals. Items are Brand new. Prices include shipping (from when I bought). If you know some good deals, share the joy !

1. Athearn F45/FP 45 - DCC and Sound - $118 @ the Lombard hobby. I paid $14 shipping, but managed to combine other items so the cost averaged out.

2. Red Caboose Centerbeam stack car - 6 pack - $65 (shipped) - Bayline scheme (Centex is $5 more)

Um, All you have to do is pull off the shell and plug in a 6-pin decoder. Plug-n-play baby!

Now if you want sound, that is a different story.  :)

I knew about those, his wording made it seem like they were "buy it now".  A better way to put it would be "you might get one under 40$"....

The "Buy it now" SW1's are 54$, and the U25C's are 48$, still good deals!
