Is there anyone who has an HO SCALE MTH VIRGINIAN TRIPLEX, that they would sell? Must be fully functional w/ Proto 3.0 sound/smoke, etc. Please PM me, if so... Unable to post a pic...  Thanks! AL

Do not do this on this forum.
It is not what we do. As far as I've experienced.
Developing the topic a bit further:
You are showing a "3-rail" photo--clearly not HO.
And also: Mike totally blew this model. He COULD have driven the tender and the rear engine, and have the locomotive articulate properly.
Mike chose not to. Thus I decided that this attempt at modeling a very interesting locomotive was a pathetic failure.

I wasn't aware that "W.T.B." item's were not allowed. Also, makes no difference if one of the pics is the 3-rail, as it is understood I wanted the HO version. In your "impromptu clinic" - you failed to mention that the rear truck on the VGN RWY. model is wrong, as it should be a 2-8-8-8-4, not a 2-8-8-8-2...
Lastly, your opinion on "Mikes-Mistake" is highly irrelevant, and immaterial to me...that's your opinion, so "pouncing-on" me, is not appreciated at all! AL

Al, Can you show me "WTB" items previously posted on this forum? Really, ever?  Yes, it is clear that you are after an HO example. I mentioned the 3-rail item because I felt that it demonstrated your sloppy approach. You did not bother to obtain a photo of what you were after--sloppy! AL, your 3-rail example is NOT a Virginian locomotive. So your comment that I "failed to mention" is, uh, ridiculous. Why do I have to mention that you screwed up? I am not "pouncing" on you because of "Mikes-Mistakes". Why ever would I blame YOU for Mike's blunders? Ed |

Set an eBay search, they turn up there pretty regularly.

Try asking over on Brian Weisman's "HOswap on IO" group. This isn't the place you're looking for.

I’ve put a couple of WTB posts on here, I figure as long as the communication is via PM what’s the harm…

Rule number 4 in the forum rules states selling is allowed but transactions done by PM. This has been discussed here before. It’s been awhile though.

THX! Just waiting for their "Wish-List-Wednesday" for the "WANTED-TO-BUY" FEATURE... |

In your "know-it-all-sky" fashion, I did also put a link to an HO scale version of the MTH Triplex. I did have pics to post, but was unable to do so, via a jpg. because the server is full?!?
I don't need your critiques' on my post, and quite frankly, I am pleased to say that I did receive, mostly positive replies, for which I am thankful... With Halloween just around the corner, perhaps you could get a job haunting houses, and I'm betting Ichabod Crane would love to bash heads with you..  Is that "sloppy" enough-fer-yew?!?
