All you can do is salivate

All of you model rail fans out there would surely salivate at the chance to even see the collection that was purchased here in Pittsburgh today.

"Two lifelong Lionel model train collectors stood before a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge Tuesday afternoon and took turns upping the ante.
At stake were 8,375 Lionel trains worth an estimated $1 million stored in a LeNature's warehouse at Westmoreland County Air Park.
LeNature's Chief Executive Gregory Podlucky reportedly bought the trains -- on the company's dime -- while running the Latrobe bottler of tea and flavored drinks into the ground. The company filed for bankruptcy in November."
