I paid for that United C&S 2-6-0 by two paper routes. Price: $39.95. I rode my bicycle from Aurora to Caboose Hobbies at 610 15th street, Denver and bought it from Glen Brazilton. As a kid I didn't know about the added tax which brought the total to about $42.00. All I had was two twenties and I must have looked like I got hit in the gut. Glen saw my look and said "it's OK son, you can bring it next time". He got his money and LOTS more over the next 50 years!
