This must be the best venue for a train show!
Elgin County Railway Museum hosted it's first Model Train Show within the actual museum. Venders were sandwiched between full sized restored Steam Locomotives and Passengers cars.
And I got some of the best bargains I've ever seen.

Sleepers are usually near the end of the train and the little black wheels you found in that kit are hand brake wheels. They mount on the ends of the cars.

Told you we would watch... That New York Central train is breathtaking!

@johnparker7874 Ай бұрын

The chessie is an AHM car. The two ice reefers and CRM car are Atheran cars Continental is P2K, Potash is Athearn, and the UP is a Front range car, I believe.

😅Mr Scott, the yellow box car with Canadain Modeler is a Canadian Model railroaded Magazine. The magazine is not published any more. The magazine had articles that highlight Canadain rail roads. Mike.

@keiichi902 Ай бұрын

The yellow 40’ boxcar was for a Canadian model train magazine called Canadian Railway Modeller. It no longer exists but was a great little magazine while it lasted.

I'm sure they'll warm up when they are running from the bears and wolves.

@sidetraxx779 Ай бұрын

Not sure if anyone commented, your Kato with no DB means no Dynamic Brakes. There are no fan grills on the roof in the center section where the Dynamic Brakes should be.. They also usually flare out the roof at the sides where they go too. I believe you have either Athearn or Atlas locos where the top middle section of the roof pops off. Thats the dynamic or no dynamic brakes.

@JimReffle Ай бұрын

Great haul from the St Thomas show, Dave.

@NotGavin Ай бұрын

Fantastic deals Dave! Those walthers coaches for $10 a piece is an absolute steal, it looks great behind the E8! FYI: “Without DB” is referring to the dynamic brakes, which your SD40-2 model does not have. If it did you’d normally see that vent that is typically along the middle of the locomotive, right above the CN logo in this instance

@ScottRails Ай бұрын

Ahhh, thanks for that.

@jamesfitch6431 Ай бұрын

The wire is to help you open the tiny doors

@majortomtogc Ай бұрын

Kato SD40-2's are my favorite locos.

@johnparker7874 Ай бұрын

The blue gold car with the big door, would work well for mixed train service.

@johnparker7874 Ай бұрын

The Mogul needs some small freight cars, and a combine/baggage/caboose car for mixed train service. The cars you have go better with an American 4-4-0 type engine, from the 1890's. The Mogul works for 1920's-1930's shortline trains

@sidetraxx779 Ай бұрын

Oh on your Atlas Yellow box SD Santa Fe loco. The air tanks are put on the roof to allow for larger fuel tanks. Air horns are put almost anywhere on a loco.

@casstelles Ай бұрын

What a great haul. It's hard to pick the best one, but the CP Dash-9 with the decoder would be the best due to the price.

@ScottRails Ай бұрын

Yeah, that was an actual steal. I thin the motor and shafts have been swapped out for something newer. The shafts are very skinny compared to every other Athearn BB I have.

@michaelcudby787 Ай бұрын

@@ScottRails Pretty sure, Dave, that the dash9 is RTR by Athearn. A newer release than the older BB one. The BB dash 9s were badly inaccurate around the front windscreen, & the RTR models have the upgraded drivetrain. Athearn copied the Kato drivetrain & called the hex driveline, hence the skinny driveshafts.The flywheels have a hexaginal recess in the ends, just like the Katos. Still has the later style BB motor but with a circuit board & DCC ready, oh & has factory wired head/tailights. A Kato motor would pretty much drop into those driveshafts but mounting the Kato motor to the chassis would be a little more tricky.You will notice that the truck sideframes are different to most dash 9s That is correct for the CP Dash 9s. Just more usefull information. Cheers Michael NZ

Great haul Dave. BTW SD's have 6 wheel trucks and GP's have 4 wheel trucks. There are actually some NYC E units still around. I saw one last year in West Virginia and another in Elkhart Indiana and maybe even some more floating around. E units had 2 prime movers inside. I did some work on Louisville & Nashville E 6 # 770 for a while.

The SD24 will require offset kadee couplers. They are good runners, just watch the truck clip over the gearboxes.

@c9917k Ай бұрын

Awesome video and great buys!! For your 20th Century Limited, remember that with the twin unit dining car, the kitchen car should always [per NYC operating rules] be placed behind the table car. Prevents kitchen smells from rolling back into the seating area. If you have a single unit diner, the kitchen end is also to the rear. As for your older cars the sleepers can be placed behind the diner, so that coach passengers don't walk through the sleepers to get to dinner. Actually as long as the diner separates the coach passengers from the sleeping car passengers, it doesn't matter whether they're behind the loco - Besides, your RPO and baggage cars will be immediately behind the loco. Enjoy them and have fun!!!!

Well Dave, you step in it and come out of it with a gold shoe. Great video must have taken a considerate amount of time to put together. I haven't purchased a Kato as yet but after your recommendation and watching them run I'm won over. Did you here that Kato, remember it's Scott Rails in Canada, lol. Perfect video, Jersey Bill.

Great finds Dave!. The 34' Overton coaches are a really nice find, as they are no longer made,but still can be found here and there. I know someone that made a set into a Doodle bug using an old Athearn BB switcher chassis and some scratch built detail parts as well, matching trailer coaches. I think i have a pic or two of them i could post on the FB page?.

They were pretty amazing for their time with a nice can motor and fly wheels, but that was a long time ago. I have the exact same chassis. Let us know if you manage to improve it somewhat!
