Saturday will be a LIVE auction, broadcast LIVE on Live Auctioneers, just like our past sales. The sale will feature many amazing items, including herald signs, station clocks, locks, keys, passenger cars step boxes, whistles, bells, tubular lanterns, switch lanterns, marker lanterns, cans, calendars, tools, china, and more, including several special collections! We will be featuring the lanterns of Ray Canole, a well-known collector and expert restorer of large size switch and marker lanterns. Many of his exquisite pieces will be included in this sale. We also have an amazing collection from a long-time collector that features railroad passes, maps, timetables, brochures, and annual reports, with most of the items between the 1830s and 1900s! Many first edition or first issues! Estates of two widows whose husbands were collectors will also be included! And, a special consignment of items from the Chicago Transit Authority will be featured!

Sunday's session will be a TIMED auction. It will NOT be broadcast, but will run the exact same way. This session will feature model trains, with the focus being on HO scale. There are brass trains, new and used locomotives, new-in-the-box freight cars, buildings, DCC power equipment, track, and even new-on-card Hot Wheels and other die cast cars. There are some lots of G and O scale equipment, as well as HOn3 narrow gauge. You can place bids now, or on auction day, and you will be able to watch and bid just like you normally would as each item comes up, in lot order. You just won't hear an auctioneer! Each item has a minimum starting bid. This sale also features the first parts of two major estates.

Make sure to click on the REGISTER FOR AUCTION button on Live Auctioneers to be able to bid in the sales. You will need to have SEPARATE registrations if you intend to bid on BOTH days, otherwise, you can just register for the day in which you are interested.
