  That haul made me throw up in my mouth a little.

  That really may have been the greatest Craigslist buy ever, but it has made buying more track seem so expensive.   "You want $5 for each straight piece of track??  I only paid $100 for my whole layout!"   Kind of warps your perspective a bit!!

  You want the dark grey or the dark "bley" track?

  I believe it is the lighter of the two, so that would be the Bley?  I can post a picture if that would help?

  What is this Craigslist haul?

  This is what I posted in the "brag thread" last April:
  
  Never purchased Lego trains before, so I kind of stumbled into this deal. Craiglist listing for $100: 2x Santa Fe Super Chiefs ( #10020 - not limited edition), 2x #10025 Santa Fe Cars, 3x #10022 Santa Fe Cars, #4561Railway Express, #10128 Train Level Crossing, #10027 Train Engine Shed, 34 straight track, 53 curved track, 4 switches, and 1 90 degree cross over. Everything appears to be complete and working except the #4561, which is missing pieces and the motor for the engine. Craigslist is normally pretty sparse in my area, so this was completely unexpected.  
  
  I ended up selling the #4561 Railway Express parts for $40, and I had to Bricklink the yellow hand truck for #10027 train shed for $15, so net the cost was approximately $75 for the remaining train layout.    I let my 4 and 6 year old children play with all of my Lego, but some days I have to remind myself how little I paid for the train, not how much it would cost to replace parts of they broke.

  Ok, here is the up close of the track for color. (And I meant to comment that i don't run one of the Santa fee cars because it is just a touch wider than the train shed.  Clips the door frame every time it passes through.   Hence only 4 passenger cars in the picture.).

  :p ^^ That's my fault, sorry!
  
  By the way, it looks the California Zephyr is going to run into itself on the cross-over.

  ^One more good reason to not run the 5th passenger car!

  I think you need to post a couple dozen more pics of the Santa Fe engine and cars.  We didn't really get a clear view of the value you got :)

  I'm trying to reduce what I have sitting around unused (with a little nudging from my wonderful wife) so I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in either buying or trading for the following?  
  
  PM sent.

  ^ I hear you.  All I get on my local Craigslist is some guy trying to sell a Death Star for $750.00 with: 'only few missing pieces and no minifigures'

  I want to send him a note to stop re-posting the same listing, and remind him that they still sell the Death Star new for $399.99.

  ^^ I already started assembling my Lego Pitchfork because of some Beanie Baby comparisons that were made in another forum topic...
