These are not my auctions, but belong to a friend who became that way while I was buying Super-8 railroad films from her that had once been her Dad's.

The prints I bought were way above average in the world of E-bay, in many cases as good as new.

"Steam Was Grand on the Grand Trunk Western"

"Mission Tower"

If I had a 16mm projector I'd certainly be thinking about these!

Union Pacific 1956-1958

Steve...I was watching these and I bid on one but didn't get it. All three went for a combined total of over $210. And two of them were silent. I bet they looked good though!

Bill,

You have no idea how good they looked to somebody who doesn't own a 16mm projector!

OOPS about the double post....how did I do that?

Anyway...I have one 16mm train film. It is 'Hudsons of the NYC' silent 400' Blackhawk in the OB. It's really a super print. When ever I see other 16mm RR films they pass my wallet right up! [Frown]
