Model Trains Up For Auction
Filed under: Auctions
There comes a time in every collector's life when it is time to decide what to do with what has been amassed. For Wayne Burkholder, a collector of trains, that time has come and tomorrow his vintage train collection will be auctioned off by Gateway Gallery Auction in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Burkholder and his wife are moving to Florida and his sons and grandsons weren't interested in the product of years of collection. Burkholder spent the last ten years perfecting a layout of three train sets spread out over an 8'x21' layout. His collection has been cataloged into over 400 lots that include engines, tenders, cars, cabooses and accessories like Mel's Diner, Ford sales, Sinclair gas, a car wash, oil derricks and more. Model train collecting isn't a hobby that attracts as many fans as it once did but for hobbyists with an eye toward the past, Burkholder's trove offers much to admire. Check out more at the online catalog.
