The sale will be headlined by two major collections: Top billing goes to Gary Nelson, a lifetime collector and railroad employee whose collection features hundreds of trains in excellent working condition, engines, accessories, buildings, specialty cars (such as snow plows and maintenance cars, with crews), tracks, one-of-a-kind trains (many in mint or near-mint condition), and hundreds of different multi-signal lamps. There are also hundreds of railroad lanterns, including a Wabash embossed lamp with a teal globe, railroad signal signs, rolling stock with factory errors, a 1930s Standard Gauge in near-mint condition and more. All-model train scales and gauges include S-Gauge, O-Gauge, HO-Gauge and O-27. Names like Lionel, MTH, American Flyer and Buddy "L" are all included. The collection includes the very first cast-iron train purchased from the Graham Clayton collection. Stewart "Scotty" MacKenzie (1942-2020) of Chinook, Montana was a die-hard Montana "paper" collector. One of his great finds was the archive of the Pony, Montana Miners Union, with all their banners, badges and accoutrements. At trade shows he'd have boxes of letters and invoices, having learned that the billhead and letterhead market needed more Montana mining material.
