2011, 2012, 2013 - In 2011, 2012, and 2013, we bought tons of passenger cars in the States that cost just US $0.99 each back then – including about 50 of those old cars from America's once-largest circus, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey – plus whatever else was available on the American market at that price: passenger cars, freight cars, you name it. And all without even knowing what we'd do with them!

Later on - Then an old publishing house owner offered me his incredible American collection of engines and cars – including Broadway engines, diesel-steam locomotives, tons of them in brass, plus plenty of brass passenger cars too! Naturally, he had a bunch of freight cars as well!
