Owner says..."Why safety is our main concern. We give the boys a plastic hat with a light on it, I might add, and a plastic pail for a nearby potty. Wouldn't want then wandering too far in case they gotta go. Given that and 50 cents a day, who wouldn't want the job?"

Not sure if this will work but one of the auction sites I'm a member of here in AB has an online auction going right now with a huge selection of G-Scale trains and accessories. Here's the link if anyone is interested. I was amazed scrolling through the pictures. Obviously, an estate of someone who collected extensively. Looks like the stuff is going to sell dirt cheap too.
