Hi folks,

*First a note to the admins: if this is more appropriately placed on the "RR Items for Sale..." forum, you may redirect it there. I only placed it here because that forum seems to be rather vacant while this one I know gets some more traffic!*

Now, on to the listing. Some of you may have seen me post in the past about my N scale VIA Rail Renaissance equipment. Well the time has come to part with it, and I'm hoping that it will find a good home. This is of course likely of most interest to Canadian modellers.

I currently have for sale a full set of N scale VIA Rail Canada Renaissance equipment, Locomotive and 9 Coaches. Details are as follows:

Locomotive: N scale LifeLike F40PH (DC), custom painted as VIA #6400. Decals by Microscale. Unit is missing rear railing and front pilot, but runs surprisingly well (for LifeLike). Shell is in excellent condition.

Opened up (Note: I have re-soldered several pick-up wires and lubricated inside): http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7218/7301 ... ddd6_b.jpg

Coaches: A 9 COACH SET of Renaissance equipment. All are Graham-Farish/Bachmann N scale (British N!) MK4 coaches, stripped with Electra Railway Graphics Vinyls added to sides and ends.

Set includes:
1 X Renaissance Baggage Car
5 X Renaissance Coaches
1 X Renaissance Service Car
2 X Renaissance Sleepers

And here's the full set, showing everything included (Loco and coaches):

Note that the cars are British N scale, which is a little bigger than our N scale. I assure you, they still look good. Here's how the cars match up:

I would like to sell the entire set as a complete unit, rather than individual components.

PRICE: I'm asking $300 for everything (plus shipping).

SHIPPING: Will ship Canada Post to anywhere in Canada, regular parcel or whatever you're willing to pay. FREE LOCAL PICKUP is available in HALIFAX, NS. If you're outside Canada and really interested, drop me a line and we'll see what we might be able to work out.

I don't know what qualifies as "handling" in the standard "shipping and handling" equation, but handling is free ;)

If interested, send me a private message and we'll work out the details.

Cheers!

Just an update:

I have sold the Renaissance cars, but I STILL have the locomotive available. If you're interested, fire off a private message and make me an offer!
