In the East every train show has them older bachmann Santa Fe locos you know the ones in the train sets, no one whats to buy because we mostly model our areas trains and well santa fe is not our area.
I remember when I was in sacremento, ca all the hobby stores had only UP, SP, BNSF trains, said it wasnt worth buying others like conrail, csx, ns etc.. because no one wanted them
So I was wondering if all those santa fe F's and GP's, the union pacific GP's, that red MKT hopper, the SF cabooses, etc.. do they actually sell in the western shows? because they just sit over at ours and no one will ever buy them.
Also at our train shows everyone that comes looks for area specific trains, and not much is bought for the UP, SF and other western trains but there is a 50/50 of mixed US trains. I wonder If I go to a western train show will I find the eastern trains, and without the markup since it's not area specific..
