    Online auction/classified

    Is there any good auction site or classified listings for HO stuff beside Ebay? I finally had enough of the Bay when they cancelled my latest auction because I said in the description that I would also accept cash. My bad. :eek: Can you imagine taking U.S legal tender rather than Paypal?:cry:

Now I'm wondering if these are correct scale as I see the 33" are usually listed for freight cars and passenger are 36". They work fine and line...

    Traction tires

    I have heard of guys using the little rubber bands used for orthodontic braces as tires for Bachmann and other locos. Anyone know about this?
