Cataloged Live Auction of Model Trains and Accessories to be held at Gateway Gallery Auction in Chambersburg, PA on April 10, 2010

CHAMBERSBURG, PA, March 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Model Trains, with the sound of the whistle, the smell of the motor as the train circles the track and the promise of great adventures, have come to symbolize a idyllic post-war America. Engines, cabooses, boxcars, barrel loaders, semaphores, and stations, all of which boys and girls of any age dream, will be sold April 10 at Gateway Gallery Auction.

"This particular collection of model trains is in excellent condition and has been lovingly cared for, with many of the box sets unopened" said Micah Fowler, CPPA and Specialty Catalog Coordinator at Gateway. Fowler, who became an avid train enthusiast after working closely with William Burkholder, continued "There are many seldom seen pieces here, it's hard to choo-choose just one."

While it may be difficult to choose the most coveted piece in the auction, it's easy to identify those that may contend. The Lionel Lackawanna 2223W Set with original boxes, the 2340 Lionel Pennsy GG1 with original box, (2) Virginian Train Masters, Lionel 6464100 Western Pacific orange body blue feather box car with original box or the factory sealed Lionel Girls Set will certainly command attention.
