2013 auction #1: HO anniversary car---- - ezdays - 05-12-2013 Well, finally, we are going to start the first auction of a series of auctions that we’ve been talking about. This one is for an HO, 50’ boxcar as pictured below and decorated by Sumpter250. The car has been stripped, repainted in BB&G colors, decorated in our Anniversary scheme and clear-coated. Along with the BB&G herald, it has the “Anniversary Special” lettering. The build plaque shows a build date of 12-01 (when the original Gauge was started) and a rebuild date of 12-08 (the rebirth of The-Gauge as Big Blue). Those are the dates that make up our 10th and 2nd anniversaries. Also, note that this car has a unique number that will not appear on any other BB&G rolling stock. We will leave any weathering to its new owner if they think it’s appropriate. This car, we hope, will become treasured and be a show of pride for your membership and support of the Big Blue Train Forums. We auctioned off several other HO and N scale anniversary cars during our anniversary celebration, but we saved a few to be auctioned off at this time. The winning bidder of any of the anniversary cars will receive, along with the car, a certificate of authenticity signed by the person that decorated it . Please note that we are also auctioning off a PBS “Tracks Ahead”, N scale car at this time in another thread. Bid on one or both if you like. Now, let’s get started. We are offering this car to the highest bidder. Here are the bidding rules:

Re: 2013 auction #1: HO anniversary car---- - ezdays - 05-13-2013 Just so you know, I screwed up and so I changed this car to read, "50 foot" rather than 40. That's what happens when you don't pay attention and do a lot of cutting and pasting from previous auctions.... :oops: :oops: Re: 2013 auction #1: HO anniversary car---- - teejay - 05-13-2013 Oh ,so I can bid 20% less ??
