Iron City Roundhouse Report – Season 2, Episode 4 

Hosts Brad and Pat sit down with three leading online auctioneers—Bill Jenkins of East/West Model Train Auctions, Ross Palabeski of NorCal Train Auctions, and Garrett Metcalf of Midwest Train Auctions—for an inside look at the fast-growing world of N-scale online sales.

The group shares how they got started selling N-scale equipment online, why they favor direct social-media auctions over large retail platforms, and how they source inventory through private collections, train shows, and industry networking.

They also break down auction formats, bidding strategies, shipping practices, scheduling, and the loyal community that has formed around their sales. Whether you're a seasoned bidder or new to online train auctions, this episode offers practical tips on participating—and insight into what makes a sale truly successful.

 

Bradd and Pat also share community news in the Roundhouse Report, including calls for a southeast Michigan N‑Scale group, updates from the East Broad Top, details on the Morgantown model show, and the Burnham rally.
