[Boatanchors] Ham Radio Estate Sale Tomorrow- Dallas

[Carl]

Some American Flyers are worth more than Lionel these days...big bux for the 
right ones. There is a guy in this area who has an estimated $500K of stuff 
in his collection and after seeing it I dont doubt it. Multiple buildings 
full of static and operational displays.
