lol indeed.  But after your laugh, were you considerate enough to email the seller?

Lots of sellers make mistakes and are very glad to have you point them out.  Some mistakes are because the seller is not an expert in the field.  Other mistakes are from showing the wrong photograph.  When you are the seller, don't you appreciate it when someone helps you preserve your credibility by pointing out errors? 

The only seller I did not get a reply and a thank-you from was the one I asked if he had misplaced a decimal point when he priced an MRC Command 2000 at $375.00.  I guess he really thought it was worth that much!

Bill, if you are basing that on the name alone, you might want to read a bit of the history of the Milwaukee road

Personally, I do not remember the set or what came in it.  Perhaps you can enlighten us.

Jim,
Bill may be thinking that the cars are a bit early for the CMSt.P&P and more in keeping with the CM&St.P as it was called before the Western Extension began in the first decade of the 20th Century.

Hi Guy's

The set was a Milwaukee Road Passenger set part of the Bachmann Golden Classics series.   The set 90094 came with a coach and an observation car.  The set this guy is selling as New in box has a full baggage and a combine.  The full baggage and combine were add on cars that you could buy seperately and must have been mistakenly put in the box by the original owner after playing with it.  I love the cars which is why i noticed it. 

The train with all four cars is a beauty!!!

These sets sold for about $130 Brand new.  His buy it now price of $500 is a bit much.  Maybe some fool will buy it at that price.
