Other Stuff For Sale
(last updated December 26, 2024)

I am selling train-related items from several different collections. This page lists books, videos, parts, decals, and some miscellaneous items that I have received from them. None of these items are specific to any particular scale of trains.

I show estimated values for reference purposes, but these should not be interpreted as asking prices. Make me an offer I can't refuse!

If you are interested in buying an item shown here, Email me: theupstairstrain@gmail.com. Please include your address so I can calculate shipping charges and send you an invoice with the total.

Shipping cost will be actual cost via Priority Mail (for large or heavy items) or First Class mail (for small, light items), and I will happily ship items together to minimize shipping costs. I ship everything insured unless you accept full liability for loss or damage in shipment.

Submit payment by ZellePay, bank check, or personal check. Don't waste your money on a money order or cashier's check.
