can you daisy chain any of the type of blocks. great info

Good evening, what is the name of the plugs. And where can I find them. Cool looking car!

emailing you from my Twohandsinthedirt email about the trellis :)

Great tip on making trees.

Hi, could you put up a drawing like you did for the tubular track video. I'm trying to duplicate the running of two trolleys on the same track, but they keep stopping at the isolation track instead of running to the stop track and obviously I'm doing something wrong with the track connections - thanks in advace

Nice! That AF locomotive has a pin in the cab, where the tender draw bar attaches to. I don't own any, but I have some friends who have pre-war AF and that is the case on a number of their engines.

Great video, I like the demonstration of running the engines.

I was born & raised in Pawpaw Illinois, love your videos! 🫶🫶🚂🚂

Marx guy here, with all this stock you`ll have to convert the garage into a warehouse. Most of all, " DON`T OVERLOOK THE JUNK".

You're welcn always enjoy your videos

Would you be interested in selling the atlas switches and track?

Looks like Gargraves

Planning on going to the train and farm toy show in Princeton IL next Saturday. Hope to come away with a decent hall if the prices are good

Any suggestions on how to this with Lionel Fastrack?

Just wanted to say Kudos to you for helping out Terry and his nephew!! Great job, and great idea from Terry to make a dummy loco, I am going to do that myself. I love to see folks helping each other, well done and God Bless!!

Unfortunately, Chicagoland Hobby has closed down...A major blow to the Chicagoland hobby community.

Pickups are probably available at The Train Tender website

A good haul. The prewar equipment is in fairly good condition considering the age. The 1024 switch crosses the years. It was prewar 1935-1942 and then picked up again in 1946 - 1952. The RCS track is pre 1950. It would have been nice to get the 2460 crane. I have one from my dad's collection that he got in 1947.

Those pickups are cheap and meant to be replaced. Since you live near Wheaton, go to see Tony at America s Best Toys and Trains on Irving Park Road in Itasca , he’ll have them in stock and show you how to put them on. Probably not more than a couple of dollars for a pair!

The lock on works with standard gauge track or O gauge track

You have a great you tube show. It was nice to meet you at the great midwest train show. You showed me the video of your newly painted engine taking a tumble.

That is a nice, little haul. The 1666 is nice. They sure moved along with that mechanism and casting, over the years. An excellent video, as always.

Hennings Trains has old parts

Plunkersylvanians are all out campaigning this here weekend, like good garage men.

Question - do you stay on the same negative side as you work around the track or switch sides?

See you at Wheaton train show on Sunday ???

Marx guy here, great job on rebuilding. In dismantling I put all small parts in a bowl of alcohol to soke clean, plus I`m less likely to loose parts.

your light up FastTrak still available? Also the Erie Alco Engine/Dum?

It is amazing to see the progress you are making on the Commodore Vanderbuilt. It's going to be something to see when it is done.

I currently have the fastrack plug and play using the wall plug in terminal. I am looking to extend my track to about 35 ft this year for our xmas village. Am I able to add an additional plug in terminal putting them at far ends of extended track? Any advice helps. Thank you so much!!

May we now call you Mr. C/V?

With a little love, they should look great. You never know what you might get. Last locomotive I purchased, Lionel 726RR, was sold as is and had not been tested until it arrived at the house. It had a ring of fire on the commutator. A little cleaning solved all the problems. It had a lot of oil on the armature and everywhere else on the motor and frame. Now it runs fine.

They will all look great when finished

Such a fun layout with so many levels of play which make for the most train activity I’ve ever seen within such a small footprint. I’m currently working on my sixth layout which is likely to be my last however due to it being 27’x9’ it will have options for expandability on par with elastic waist gym pants. I love seeing other people’s layouts and drawing from them. I just wish there were more O gaugers or even a club where I am in Birmingham Alabama. Thanks for sharing yours and back to the benchwork for me.

Good score

I had same problem you described with “faster trolley “ outrunning the stop track. Tried using longer sections of track without success. Would you please provide a diagram of how to correct the problem? Thx.

What a fantastic haul! Very impressive!👍

Marx guy here, Dittos on the pickup spring. Give that shell a good 48 hr. white vintager treatment. The finished painted looks better without the C/V labels.

I really liked the MPC era. I started with postwar as a kid, did college and law school and got back into Lionel in the 70's then as an adult. I never looked back. Great stuff!

J & B stands for Justerini & Brooks

I will suggest you take everything out of the boxes lay them out on the table prior to filming video. I have absolutely no interest in cardboard boxes. New acquired trains may be exciting for you but seeing mostly boxes turns me off..

Thank You for sharing your finds👍👍

A fine haul, for sure. I like the 75th Anniversary set. It certainly looks pristine. The billboard reefers are sweet. A nice find, all the way around. An excellent video, as always.

Excellent repair job, Derek. However, when you removed the pick up shoe it looked like your missing the small spring that goes under it. It sits on the center post and allows the shoe to move up and down while the engine is running. If you don't have a spare one a small piece of sponge will work as a substitute until you get a new spring.

Really nice haul. And a nice change from some of the "junk" you usually bring home. I know, one man's junk is another man's treasure.

this is great thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for mentioning me in the video. I'm so glad the the train ran for you. I really thought that the train was not going to run. Can t wait to see it finished.

Marx guy here, Being a junk train guy, I`d value that track cleaner the most. Were these purchases "FIDO" approved?

Nice haul and a great background.
