It's been two years since the last train show in Arnprior Ontario and it sure was great to see it back once again. There weren't as many vendors and displays due to their being another show just a couple hours away however there was still plenty to have a look at and I still walked away with some great deals. I also ended up meeting several subscribers which was unexpected but a delight.

The locations of these shows seems to be hit or miss. They used to have shows in Ottawa (population around 1 million) and now the only close ones are in Arnprior and Aylmer with populations far less than a million.

@@SMTMainline I would assume that people’s resources are challenged… I was financially forced in Texas to abandon my railroad bench to storage and possibly check the wiring and to get a van or truck to move it back to my garage… Till better days…?? I’m sure if you request a particular item or locomotive, or trade with someone on KZfaq they might swap out?? Just a crazy idea. Some model railroading folks rather sell or swap out to see their locomotive on your rails, and in your collection part with a locomotive to find a good yard to run on?? Just a crazy idea..?

The german steam loco is actualy from Fleischmann. It's a class 80 switcher in old Fleischmann-scale of 1:82, 1:84 or 1:85. Fleischmann only gradually brought the scale of its models up to standard.

@yourfellowpancake6335 2 жыл бұрын

The fact that none of those are exactly right for HO scale which is 1:87 is a bit annoying, as you’d need to get specific track for it, but if you’re into the niche then it’s really cool.

@ricardlupus Жыл бұрын

@@yourfellowpancake6335 The gauge is still H0 (16.5 mm), it's just the scale of the body that's a bit wrong. These old Fleischmann locomotives aren't really scale models anyway, if you compare them with the prototype or later models, the proportions tend to be slightly off, regardless of the actual scale.

@ricardlupus Жыл бұрын

The large number on the side tanks and the black wheels give this away as the US version ; the original German one would have had red wheels (unless someone painted them; the couplers on the one in the video are Fleischmann which surprises me as Fleischmann did sell them in North America with NMRA couplers).

Graham Farish is indeed a British Manufacturer. They started out producing OO Gauge Stock, then moved to N Gauge before being bought out by Bachmann, and so are now a Bachmann N Gauge Brand in the UK. The boxes you saw are pre-Bachmann style, so late 90's, early 2000's.

I know i would have spent at least a couple hours there and bought some stuff as well. them track cutters ive seen go for 20 or more , myself ive used my rotary tool generic dremel but takes a steady hand to make the cut the rail and then file it if needed . great stuff you found .

Its held every January at the Eastern States Exposition, otherwise known as the Big E. It was held across four of the largest buildings on the property and even had a narrow gauge steam locomotive set up outside under steam to blow the whistle.

Ya never know what you might find at a train show. Years back I went to a small town show in Michigan and was astounded at all the great bargains there for some vintage HO equipment. I spent all my spending money there and came away with some neat stuff. Never made it back there, though, although I did wish to make a return trip- it just never happened. I’ve since stopped my train show travels as I have just about all the trains and buildings I think I need, but who knows? Maybe one day the bug will bite again and I’ll perceive a need to go looking for some vintage piece I need or want for my collection. Brass seems to be calling me. I have a few pieces, but maybe I’ll need a few more.

I’ve had the same problem with all other namebrand track from Tico to Bockman I’ve even had some problems with the nickel silver atlas however, like I’ve told you before on your new Z scale, that you got from (“Rokuhan”), their quality is superior with the exception of atlas nickel silver as does Kato in HO and N gauge !!! And the gentleman who recognized the class 80 German locomotive 060T from Fleshman is a high End and high quality locomotive That I believe is made in Germany, and the locomotive video that you picked up earlier in the orange box wasn’t Arnold which is also made in Germany and high end and high-quality !!!! Just about anything made in Germany is super high end quality !!! 🌊🐺

You do never know what you'll find. I happened on a big antique mall the other day and wandered through. Most of the trains were overpriced or about market but I did find a Gilbert HO car for $4 that's worth about $25. it's late for train shows here in the US, I guess in the south they do them because it's so hot out people want to be inside in the AC but here in NY we stop about the end of April and pick up again in September. Usually it's harder to get people to do indoor events when it's nice out and you can be outside. The Fleischmann is a good deal. I've yet to run across one in the original box.

The Fleischmann engine (Catalogue No. 1325) was the americanized version of their DB Class 80 locomotive introduced in 1952 (No. 1320), well before they develped their cog railway system in 1968. It was superceded by an engine of the same design with better detailing and a plastic body shell (No. 1322) in 1962.

Based on how far that coupler protrudes from the front and the lack of numberboards, that E8 is from one of Kato's earlier production runs, back in the 1990s. A decent find, but a bummer about the headlight not working. I'd suggest looking to see if the bulb has burned out.
