Not sure doubling your money in 12 years is a great return.  But better than most brass I guess.  Never looked at brass as a great investment.  Perhaps it is just that the dollar has lost half its buying power...since 2009.  Now if we had gambled on Bitcoin...

They say anything is worth whatever someone will pay, and there is a lot of money floating around at the moment. Might be a good time to thin out the herd.

Well, I've been thinning my herd. As Keith likes to say, I've been taking distributions from my "PBL-401K", selling a lot of non-C&S Sn3 stuff that I've collected over the years. My wife has warned me, "If you die and leave me all this train stuff to deal with, I will kill you!"

In the past two weeks, I've sold four of my PBL second run RGS passenger cars, at an average of $926.00 per car. I paid Bill Peters $450.00 each back in 2009.

Today, a PBL D&RGW business car, from the same 2009 run, sold on eBay for $1,123.76!

The Dow and S&P may be setting daily records, but my PBL 401K is outperforming both!
