It has specialized in model trains since 1993, especially prewar and postwar Lionel, and also sells American Flyer, Marx and Ives, 1930s tinplate, modern trains from makers such as MTH, K-Line and 3rd Rail, and other scales including G, HO brass and S gauge.

How buying works

• Ways to bid: in person, live over the internet, or by online, mail, fax, email or phone absentee bid. Live phone bidding is generally for items over $5,000.
• Buyer's premium: 19% for internet, absentee and phone bids (16% paying by check or cash); in-house bidders pay a lower rate.
• Payment is due within one week of the auction, by check, money order or card; unpaid items may be relisted. Indiana and Pennsylvania residents pay sales tax.
• Shipping goes by UPS to a street address, with packing and insurance included in the charge; delivery takes about 2 to 4 weeks.

Good to know

• Items are graded on the TCA scale by appearance only and are not tested for running. Lower-graded and as-is items cannot be returned.
