Looks like the March Stout auction is up. It has some nice standard gauge (especially freights). The Ralston Auction has also been up for a few weeks as well (happening March 4).The interesting thing is that while both are fairly nice, they also don't have too much that is remarkable. The last Stout Auction had a really nice Blue Comet set.
Has anyone seen any standard gauge out there lately that was really unusual?
Also, I want to run a little poll: how many folks out there have 2 7/8 gear in their collection? I just saw a Converse Trolley out on eBay for over $23k (asking price) and I was wondering how many folks were actually interested in this?
So the question is: How many of you have a 2 7/8 gauge circle of track (either from JL Cowen or MTH) and a DC transformer?

Nope, no 2 7/8 here. Yet. I prefer the "Classic Period" stuff, but I wouldn't rule-out some 2 7/8 in the future.
I pickup the new MTH wooden gondola. A teriffic piece. It comes with the strip brass and wooden ties to make a circle of track.
None here either. Prices are too high. It would be really neat to have one piece, but I cannot see that happening. As far as Stouts and Ralstons. I like to see nice clean average stuff. Stuff we can all relate to, and have a hope of getting our hands onto. An occasional big ticket item or scarce item is nice, but does nothing for me.
