Interesting Auction Items
Terry:
Welcome aboard Marty.
What is the deal with this auction:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LIONEL-42-STANDARD-GAUGE-LOCO-NOT-RUNNING-SOME-MINOR-PARTS-MISSING-VG/324191207339
A beat up 42 for $725?
Here's a likely steal. Full nickel 213 stock car at $76. ending Friday afternoon. That should be worth hundreds more.

Not quite sure what to make of this. There are 3 610's and this 612 all blue & silver from this seller. Never known to have come in this color combo on these cars. What do you think?

Terry:
The Blue and Alum 610/612 cars are uncataloged from about 1935. Very hard to find in nice shape, but not so hard that those beat up cars are worth buying.
They only made them in blue for a short while and then went to red and alum. which is quite common.
Here's an article I wrote on the cars back when I started this site:

Thanks for the info. Things get a little murky when I step out past 1926.

The beat-up 42 was sold by Tony Hay for $725. Close inspection of number shows it could be original gold rubber stamping on light gray. That could explain the price.
