Quoted from the website of Vincent Amato/Hobby Surplus;
Word that I had purchased so much from Gilbert spread and offers came for
various lots remaining in distributors’ warehouses. I purchased one such lot
from a St. Louis distributor. It contained about five hundred All Aboard
panels, and quite a bit of various small locomotives and other items. The
locos and accessories went very quickly. But the All Aboard panels did not
sell. Five years later, my store in New Britain, Connecticut was destroyed
when the building burned beyond repair. More than 400 All Aboard panels had
been stored in the store’s cellar. While wet, they had not touched by fire.
Because almost none had sold in the five years I stored them there, I did not
bother to remove them. They are now buried under what is now a parking lot. I’
d like to be there when some future archaeologist tries to figure out what
they were used for!
Would a metal detector work?
