For instance, well over 1,200 HO train cars (most with original boxes) including 100+ brass, about 60 vintage railroad lanterns, 50+ vintage hats (Conductor, Brakeman, Flag Man, Porter, etc.) 30 padlocks, brass railroad keys stamped with railroad company name, oil cans, 2 switches with solid cast iron bases (very heavy), railroad crossing sign, matchbooks, time tables, and on and on.

In addition, there will be railroad related artwork, railroad books, 1,000+ color photos & slides taken by Mr. Hoekstra going back to the 1960’s – 1970’s), lots of small hand tools & small power tools to work on HO train layouts or anyone that does crafts, hundreds of small train parts and lots of buildings & accessories for train layouts and so much more. This is a quality collection that you will want to admire and hopefully buy some to enjoy for yourself, family or friends.
