HO Yard Sale
We've had several customers ask if we knew of a place that had out-of-production HO scale Athearn and Atlas parts and rolling stock in order to repair or replace flood damaged items. Patrick Harris, one of our customers, started a buy/sell/want group several years ago. Someone in his group might have exactly what you're looking for!
