Welcome to Vintage Road & Rail! My name is Stan, and I am relatively new to the hobby of model railroading. Like many people in the spring/summer of 2020 I was locked down at home with not much to do besides watch Netflix and UA-cam. Thankfully I stumbled on a couple videos about model railroading and the rest is history. My model railroading is in 2 parts. 1st: I like to collect vintage trains from the 70’s and 80’s from the likes of Tyco, Life-Like and AHM. 2nd: I was fascinated by DCC and the power and detail of modern HO scale locomotives. On my channel you will see videos on the items I collect as well as following me on a learning journey as I get more involved with DCC. Make sure to like, comment and subscribe; but more importantly HAVE FUN!!

Thanks for watching and Happy Model Railroading!

In today's video I am unboxing and testing a Gulf Mobile & Ohio Alco DL-109 HO Scale locomotive by Walthers. This is part of their older Proto 1000 line that is similar to today's Walthers Mainline locomotives. Not a lot of details but runs very smooth. This locomotive (and a few other locomotives) are up on ebay if you are interested. www.ebay.com/itm/135102131922

Awesome
I would add one more DC to DCC switch in for one of the turntable siding tracks and turn that into a programming track
I love this layout and it’s 4 train action. I want to build a 5x10 o scale train layout and I always thought I can only run two trains, maybe three, but four is crazy(five of you count the trolley) I want to base my layout after this one
How much did you pay for it on eBay?
I don't remember, but I would guess around $75.
When was this produced? I found one at a garage sale today.
Nice! I Don't know the exact date. But it was a bicentennial train set, so I would guess between 1974 and 1976. That's when most bicentennial stuff was made/sold.
Great video on how to take these apart, check them out and get them running again. I have a B&O version coming that was a little more than 3 bucks, and will probably need some TLC. I’ll share it when it’s pulling a nice passenger train on my layout. BTW, I use a magnifying lamp when it gets into the nitty gritty…
Damn, you got that 4x8 for 300!!! Wish I could find a deal like that. Just starting but I want to do a small DCC lay out.
Its been 3 yrs but I am watching for the first-time. I have n scale and got a Eurotool. It is like the fiberglass pen, but uses a fiber that is maybe 3mm. I haven't been able to find any more of these. I am glad I bought 5 extra fiber pieces.
Those fiber pens come in handy.
Nice…where most of us started…a 4 x 8 and atlas track…and dc…😎
You have demonstrated why I throw out every slotted screw I ever encounter. I have thousands of button head Allen socket 2-56 x 1/4” long machine screws 🤣 to replace those British crappy screws !
I hate the slotted screw heads. I swap them out for Phillips head when I can. Didn't know they made them with an Allen head. Like those even better. Much harder to strip out
Nice haul, I'm mostly hunting around for high hood GP7/9's my favorite locomotives, Athearn, Life-Like Proto 2000, (pre Walthers) And the long defunct Front Range Products GP7/9's They were the best of the whole lot they were super customizable, I would have put Atlas on my list but due to the fact that their frames rot out, I'll get Atlas when they improve on the frames with stronger metals.
Well, I’m thinking that you tore this down put it away and moved onto another new hobby
Just purchased one from The Train Station near Columbus.
Lol, that's where I got this one.
There's a video of guy restoring old computer parts yellowed plastic yellow plastic in tub of water with hydrogen peroxide left in the sun takes yellowing out
For the love of God don't use sandpaper you wouldn't use that to clean your glasses would you, just baby while a wheel. I'm glad you ain't got a body grinder
I had the silver express from 1991. It had the same loco with the same dull paint job.
Just saying the real GM50 was low hood not high hood but great video
You can slightly file down the edges of the turn outs. I see the cars are bumping when the hit the rail of the turn out that isn't part of the main line. that will stop that not so smooth transition from the turn out to the main and the same way coming into a turn out. It appears the coupling issues are on small curves.
Sou Brasileiro, e gostaria de comprar esses kit de trens comprar
Hey! Is that the central ohio model railroaders club? If so I live about 19 minutes away.
Yep, that's the place.
Awesome
Had this, turned it into a bnsf engine
I use # 148 couplers on Athearn cars. The little brass coupler spring on Athearn is just a little to high. No worry on those with 148s Easiest solution for Athearn cars.
Super. My railroad only had one Bicentennial locomotive, a Tyco EMD F-7A unit, bought new in 1976, with an Aussie variation of the Mantua MU-2 truck drive. It still operates on my railroad, almost fifty years later, both inside and outside, and has a nice patina on the paint job now that makes the locomotive look very realistic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N. Edit: I wonder if there will be any "Bicentennial and a half" Red, White, and Blue locomotives or rolling stock for 2026? 🙂
I hope the railroads step up for 2026!
I also wonder if we will get any Red, White, and Blue models, or if this will make Bicentennial models more valuable? 💙 T.E.N.
@@tracynation2820 I’m hoping for a complete American freedom train. I think it’s around 21 cars.
About ‘75, I got the Tyco Spirit of 76. It was based on the Alco 430. I got my first train set on Christmas ‘69. That one was also an Alco 430. It was a Santa Fe “War Bonnet” (red & silver). I don’t have a layout now.
Happy 4th of July!!!!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Seaboard Coastline all the way. Nice set.
The Santa Fe Bicentennial unit is still around in a museum.
I have a scrapbook of HO train set advertisements from the 1970's. The spirit of 76 train set with diesel loco was $29.99 top of the line set. I still remember the jingle. The spirit of 76, the red white and blue. The spirit of 76 for me and for you. Alas all of my HO trains were stolen from my storage unit while I was in the Air Force. I have a scale Williams GG-1 and a K line in Bicentennial colors.The K Line plays God Bless America when you press the horn button. My cutoff date is the Bicentennial on my PENN CENTRAL layout.
Quite the Collection of Trains.
Nice Collection God Blessed the USA!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
i thought you were going to clean the track in the video. Anyway, best of luck to the layout & its new owner.
I just finished watching the video. I found out why you were having problems on that turnout. It was thrown in the wrong direction of travel. We all forget to throw the switches sometimes for the route we needed.
Ah, that will do it alright. I hate I didn't notice that.
Glad you got it to a new owner. It looks like a classic Linn Westcott or John Armstrong (Atlas book) track plan.
Yep, from and Atlas book.
Can you tell me the DCC adress I bought mine without paper work
The default from the factory is 03. However a lot of times people will change it to match the road number on the side of the Locomotive.
Gonna Miss That layout.
Sad to see it go... I hope the new owner likes it :(
Are you going to sell the US Army Locomotive and car?I have the rest of the Army train but NO Loco to go with it.
Shoot me at email at: vrrtrains@gmail.com
They all need a good cleaning and oiling Clean the wheels lube the motor and turn it on and stand back!
👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂
Super. Cox locomotives are not as common as the other brands, but the drive truck is comparable to a Mantua/Tyco MU-2 drive, and they are pretty good runners. All of my Life-Like, Bachmann, AHM, and Rivarossi four wheel drive diesels died decades ago and got turned into dummy locomotives, but one Cox F-3 and seven Mantua/Tyco MU-2 drive locomotives, (EMD GP-20, Brill Trolley, EMD F-7, 2 × Plymouth CR-4 switchers, Plymouth MDT, and a Baldwin RF-16 Sharknose) are about to celebrate their fiftieth birthday on my railroad, along with about 15% of my locomotives and about 25% of my rolling stock. The Cox and Mantua/Tyco locomotives operate great, inside and outside, MU well with my more modern locomotives, and have a nice patina on the paint job, after all the years of use, that makes them look very realistic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
The Cox army loco is an F3.
Thanks! I tend to forget about the F3. Lol
Although needs a service. Cox are a little grumby. Easy buggys to service, tho. Have 2or3🚂🇨🇦📸🙋
Very nice the prr floodlight car you have is a tyco and the Napa boxcar is a model power since I have one of those as well in my collection.
Thanks! I thought it might be Tyco, but forgot to look. lol
