BIN is $44 delivered.

Not just filthy. Rusty. Pickup rollers ripped out. Lead and trail trucks gone. One siderod gone, both mains and pistons gone, Cab roof corner gone (makes boiler "junk"). Drawbar gone Paint gone. Window struts gone.
One class light gone. The most valuable thing there is the Coke can, even if it's empty.

The ruler is actually useful. Rest is stuff you put in the recycling bin

So, I use a mm ruler at the time when building models; I use a 00 one as well. As long as there are fine units, good. I have one in 32nd's in inches, too. Whatever works gets used.

The can (and the toy) is crap.
