About wetting or soaking cork roadbed, I've read that you only do that when you are using old, previously used, and either dry or brittle cork roadbed to help rejuvenate it.

NKP 765, during it's rebuild?

Thanks for the info, I ordered a 2007 yesterday.  I mostly buy the Walthers books.  The manufacturers books go into more detail on their products, so I like to get them once in a while.

Didn't Mantua/Tyco have to pull a HO scale "Disneyland & Santa Fe" train set due to copyright infringement?  Last time I saw one was on eBay about 8 years ago.  The listing only included the loco & 3 passenger cars, no box or anything else.  It sold for about $6000.

Also, any idea on how many George sets were made?

Thanks,

I'm not interested in selling it.  I was just curious as to what the value might be since I have not seen one anywhere in such a long time.  I know these prices seem to fluctuate every few years.  My father has a 20-25 year old  factory sealed Lionel "Nickel Plate Special" set that I have seen sell on eBay for around $1600 (factory sealed) about 5 or 6 years ago, just a few months ago the same set wouldn't set for $200 (also factory sealed.)

Thanks,

I understand that the original question was about his father's train sets.  However, I was asking the value of my train set without having to start a new topic line as there was already topic on "value of Bachmann train sets".  I thought in my previous post it was obvious that I was asking a question.

What about "The George Washington" Spectrum set that was released a few years ago (I purchesed one)?  I haven't seen any for quite some time now, not even on eBay.

The last Bachmann Product Catalog that I bought was in 1996.  The Walthers 2008 HO Scale Reference Book has already been released and I didn't know if other manufacturers released their catalogs this early as well.

I was just wondering when the 2008 Bachmann Product Catalog will be released?

I've heard somewhere that Paul McCartney is a rail fan.  I don't think they  mentioned if he was a modeler as well.
