Nice catch, plus the Percival Grain car in there too!

Cool. 😎

Ugly boat!.. but a wonderful outboard - it's a classic... However, please bear in mind - that if you are not 100% professional - do not fool around with the gas/carb adjustments; which also includes the ignition regulation... it is not for an amateur; - seen a lot of so-called experts... who actually ruined such a wonder-outboard; - since they did not have any idea how to adjust the above mentioned... take care!

we had 3 classifications in high school in the 70's, Jocks, Freaks, and Clutch Heads. The Jocks were self explanatory, the Freaks were the Potheads, and the Clutch heads all hung out in Auto Shop working on their Hot Rods!

Walt, those filters look very similar to those on the Jonsereds 70E etc, right down to the tabs to split them apart. Might they be a common fitment to that era of Jonsereds and Husky?

When was this shot taken?

Let me know if you want to sell it the 5500... I have one like it but the one motor axle gear cracked. Yes, mine was a plastic gear. I bought it as is. I bought a better motor assembly for mine, but have not figured out how to set up that weird middle wheel speed sensing switch. That was the one with the broken gear. Soon, a get to it, project for me. You missed the best part of this engine, the diesel horns...

Never get tired of 027 Alco’s running around the tracks. The blue & black B & M are my favorite. Just like the paint design. Yes that’s the way “ABBA” . Mine are all powered 2, 2, 1, 2 motors total 7. Pulls anything I put behind them.

Big difference between throw away engines and one’s made to last. Hard to beat the 50’s Alco’s for reliability. Unless you seek out something even older. But not an apples to apples comparison since the quality does drop as you go newer and newer.

Nice train run!

Frame it for the rainbow and get a tripod. No zoom and no camera movement.

The DC motor interface with the truck looks same as post war Lionel AC motor second iteration. The previous AC motors like in 2023 Alco diesel had a pin pivot and single screw also. The iteration with the keyway design is a smaller field motor and two gear reductions. The 2023 style has a bigger motor field and only one stage of gearing. Oddly the older design with less gear pulls stronger and faster speed. The DC can your showing benefits greatly from the two stage gearing.

👍👍

Grrreat layout long live new haven rr🎉😊

Great video, very informative. How hot do you bake the pistons and for how long before they are hot enough to just slide the wrist pin in?

I have that same Rod I bought when I was a kid back in the late 70's at my local tackle shop.

Your grandfather was right most fishing gear is not meant to catch fish it's meant to catch fishermen you ever see a fish at the counter buying soft plastics or cool fishing rods 😂

buy a 4 stroke

Trains and fishing stuff: what a combination! 😉

Excellent news and video, great purchase and use of quality fishing gear 🎉

I got susquehanna engines 3612 and36 14

Nice to hear real bells on a crossing gate once in a while (seems CSX is replacing many of them with the fake audio ones). Interesting to see an intermodal with a 1-1 engine setup, don't see too many of those (usually on unit trains). Thanks for sharing! 😎

Nice when the trains go slower so you can see more detail on the video! Thanks for sharing. 😎

There is something about the 027 Alco’s running around the tracks no other engine has. Possibly memories of a kid. Lionel small steamers also have that charm with drive linkage churning away. The AC motor ozone and smoke aroma fills the air adding to the feel of Lionel toy trains.

Recently just picked up an old bass pro baitcasting rod in perfect condition for 5 dollars!

Nice run!

Wow your lucky you have a steam shovel , i would love to dig a big hole with it .

My thoughts: The can motor in the steam engine in the same spot where a armature of AC powered pull-more is not a improvement, but a cost cutting venture. (Less copper wire, no need for field coil plates, or need to have the winding machines for these coils. Just buy the DC motors from a low cost provider.) That started with the low cost sets like the cannon ball.... Now the larger DC can motor with the fly wheel in the steamers and inside the diesel units were a great improvement. In both cased the train could be run at lower speeds for more scale train experience. Sorry, but I just cringe when you put your nice loco and train items on their side right on the track. That chips the paint, puts other marks on them and just makes them look more used, but they are you trains...

Good old fashioned garbage scow

Hi boss.

Great drag , same as i do !

From experence you don’t need electronics for an AC Lionel motor. So what is all that about? No bushings does shaft rotate in sheet metal edge? Trash design, no? Those motors are not like any pull more Lionel I’ve ever seen. They look awful small.

Them are sweet transformers.

I like the K line transformers you have 120 watts . I have a modern ZW, first one with the 180 twin bricks with room for two more, yea con edison for a 4x8.

Looks like some good runners. Run them enjoy them.

Had good luck with them skeptical at first

The motors in the trucks from my early experience, the pivot points of those gears is the problem area. Oil the pivot points on then often, as well as the axles. Then avoid any quick start and stops since they have no flywheel a quick stop puts pressure back to the motor and the gears and the pivot points. Back in around 1986 I partly ruined mine and had to drill out the remaining pivot points on the two smaller gears and put a machine thread screw it there and then gave the set away. otherwise they are pretty good engines. Oh yes, do oil the other end of the motor but keep conductive oil and conductive oil away from these, if it gets into the motor. Your motor will spark and smoke and the electronic reverse unit will blow the power transistors. I fixed one least year.

Actually horizontal mounted motor allow for all spur gear drives which is more efficient. They did it very cheaply and used all plastic…… not good for any longevity. Metal would be my choice for trucks and frame with brass gearing. Delrin (PTFE as a premium) gears would be a step up from nylon but it was done cheap, cheap. We play with these toys as toys which don’t justify more costly materials. Just my observation the mix of 027 and scale passenger of differing type cars don’t look right. Honestly your $5 car looks best. The 1666 is a great little early engine, my favorite steamer. Yes, agree 027 cars a lot better behind the 1666E. Note the sand casting dome detail on 1666E that is lacking on the 224

heya bud think i've got the 2 exact ones the merc needs points cleaning apparently but the evinrude is not pumping everything else runs, is the evinrude a he3rsa model?

Very nice video, I really enjoyed it! 👍

Your off chops doing that in the long grass 😂

You’ve got the O gauge model trains I wish I could have!!!!❤😎😎🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚞🚋🚋🚞🚞🚞🚞

I have 5 MPC Alcos and I love them all!!! ❤ The way I figure it if they are working correctly they should be able to pull 6 MPC 6464 type boxcars and an MPC bay window caboose smoothly around a layout with no problems. Long live the MPC era of Lionel trains!!!!!

Toy trains are fun to play with. You have acquired a number of engines. Both “O” and 027 mix quite well. True scale is quite a bit larger and some look out of place because they are so big. Shorter “O” & 027 equipment looks better going around this layout. Interesting facts of the marine applications for the obsolete engines.😊😊 You refer to “O” & 027 as 1/58 scale. I’ve seen others refer to them as 1/52 scale. I imagine there are both depending on the trains size. Some “O’s” being bigger than 027 but still smaller than scale. I imagine die casting tooling is good for way more cycles than toy trains can demand.

Cool!!

I really like all the Rock. Island freight cars you have.
