The Amherst Virtual Railroad Hobby Show is in the books but available to stream on YouTube. I was interviewed by John Sacerdote, the Show Director, talking about selling a collection. The interview can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKfbM5dVYcI John was great to talk with about how their club gets involved with estates. And of course trains, and even website development and our Resourced Rails partnership.
What is news to most is that Matt Dowd from www.resourcedrails.com is now the agent for the collection. Matt comes to us with his vast train knowledge, great energy and an honest evaluation with prices and condition. Presently, he’s selling the lower priced models as announced in the press release:
ReSourced Rails Partners with The Jim Walsh Collection
For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL: ReSourced Rails has partnered with The Jim Walsh Collection to assist with the sale of brass models from this large collection. Provided services will include:
- Curation of the collection
- Authentication of provenance associated with items
- Pricing guidance
- Transportation of items donated to non-profit, railway preservation organizations
The Jim Walsh Collection will continue to retail premium items directly through the website https://jimwalshcollection.com/. The majority of items, including numerous duplicate pieces, will be retailed directly through ReSourced Rails (https://resourcedrails.com/) during the remainder of 2021.
James (Jim) Walsh was an avid collector of HO, HOn3 and O scale brass model trains for over four decades. He contributed invaluable research to various late run projects from Key Imports, Inc. Additionally, Jim provided numerous descriptions of brass model trains for widely used industry resources, both in print and digital form.
“These models are truly world class examples of Japanese and Korean brass” remarked Matthew Dowd, Founder of ReSourced Rails. “This partnership will help bring the remainder of Jim’s collection to market with the respect it deserves, and Linda has been wonderful to work with throughout the process. We’re extremely appreciative of this opportunity to help build upon her efforts to date.”
