The planets are all on the same side of the solar system. Man that gas pump turned out beautiful! If I were your neighbor I would give you all the free labor you could stand. You know as you're building your railroad I would be one of those people in the background moving whatever you wanted in to whatever place you wanted.
This was a fun restoration project! The gas nozzle was the worst part for me, as I didn't think all that tarnish and "yuck" would ever come off! But as I was cleaning it, a thought came to mind... This is really beat up, and I love it! Look at all the marks, dings and scratches! There are wear marks everywhere! The metal is actually worn down in many places from use. Then I began to think, "This is history right here! How many cars did this pump fuel over a lifetime? What was the world like, back then?" As I cleaned the nozzle, I let my mind ponder the possibilities.. We could have bought another reproduction nozzle.. But this one is real! It tells a story of early automobile history, and an America on the go, motoring along in one of our newest loves, and inventions. Restoring this pump was so much fun.. I wouldn't mind doing it again, when the opportunity comes along! :D
Hey Mr. Wayne 615 pump man, why not put it in side the garage mahhall. A prime position so that when you and visitours come in, they see it immediately. And have on of your Pocher cars there getting fuelled up. Love the RED that you picked out, probably just like original. Filler up!
VERY GOOD AWESOME INFORMATION AND COMMENTS THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO AND YOUR EFFORTS SORRY THAT YOUR PUMP WAS TAKEN. PLEASE CONSIDER LEAVING INSIDE LOCKED UP AND AWAY FROM NERE DO WELLS..ENJOY YOUR TIME AND YOUR SCREWING AROUND TIME WITH YOUR SPOUSE AND BRINGING YOUR SUBSCRIBERS ALONG TO SEE THIS. WE ALL APPRECIATE BOTH OF YOUR IDEAS AND TALENTS. THANK YOU AGAIN JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 👍👍👍👍😁🙂
It’s out in the driveway. Again. Because it’s cool there. I hope it stays put. But not going to worry to much. Got a model railroad to build! Our Philosophy. You can’t control much but you can totally control how you react to it.
Rolling back the hands of time, a restored gas pump. Blends in well with the old cars of that time period. What an amazing period of history. You done a beautiful restoration of that pump. And yes, the bright red really sets it off. Oh, that sign on the pump "leaded gas" was interesting. Don't let the EPA boys see that. We older people grew up in the age of leaded gas, and we are still here. Just don't tell them. Great video, thanks!
Looks great! Glad to see things like this restored. Would be great if the current petroleum companies would make the technology of today work with the older technology
Yes! Just for nostalgia sake! While visiting Oregon, we were treated to some nostalgia, as motorists are not allowed to pump their own gas. A good old fashioned attendant comes out, and puts the gas in the car! Wonderful!!
That's beautiful! (the pump handle needs a nice period looking padlock) I've used these pumps before in my misspent youth, and I kinda miss em. You got a decent workout, that's for sure!
Yes.... Between that, and driving a stick shift, or even an old planetary system... the art of even starting a car with something called a carburetor, back in the day.... No power steering.. Yeah.. Driving was a work out! There would be no way that one could "text-and-drive" back in those days! Not even with an extra set of thumbs!!
You guys have a great channel. It's like having old friends over to talk about their hobbies and projects. The visible pump restoration was awesome! I am so jealous. Always wanted one for my garage and train room. Please the care to secure this one so it does not get taken! Can't wait to see more "screwing around!" God Bless!
Great job restoring the pump! If it were me though I'd get some cement and all thread, then pour a slab to permanently bolt down the pump, then take a torch to the top of the all thread and peen it over, to avoid having it stolen again. A good friend of mine had a DRGW switch stand stolen recently, so I bolted my Frisco switch stand down.
I love that pump. I just completed building an O scale 1930’s gas station and it has two visible Wayne pumps. The whole gas station occupies a spot on my On3 layout.
PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO KEEP THIS INSIDE TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT AND YOUR PROPERTY.. YOUR TIME IS PAYING OFF NICE. I DO APPRECIATE IT AND YOU BOTH..THANK THE BOTH.. HAVE A GOOD DAY BE SAFE AND CAREFUL JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA.
Wow!!!!! The Philippines!!! My dad was in a huge battle there in 1945. Injured twice. But they took back the islands. He died from those injuries in 1955. Glad you like the show! Working on the first Portland show right now!! An amazing hotel and a home on the top of a mountain. And a quick look at some trains and steam tractors
We saw a way to secure it in Los Angeles last week. A grand idea. Sort of like strapping down a water heater. Will also protect it from the odd earthquake!!
Love old gas ⛽️ pumps....awesome restoration job! Secure so as not have this one stolen....if it were me I’d bring it indoors....sad thing would be it couldn’t be shared with passers by!
Now another great episode the both of you screwing around. This one as I see has quite a lot of old fashion elbow grease used in this restoration. But the results were well worth the celebration. Sorry that your old pump was stolen there Toyman. This restoration came out really great and I how that the both of you will get much enjoyment while you are!screwing around.
I know what you mean, it's never the same as your first. I hope you get to keep this one as it sounds like it was a bigger investment than the original. Happy pumping!
Thanks for the video! I find the old visible gas pumps to be incredibly fascinating. It's a shame you didn't restore the pumping action as well. It would be cool to see one of these ancient devices in action, pumping (simulated) gas, of course. That old leaded 70-octane poison gone from the world and thankfully so.
Hi. Yup. Just make it look nice. Not sure how to free up the pump.. and now it needs a bit of touch up. A bit of rust though the white. And the sunny side needs new red. Piece of cake though..
What a fun project.. My grandfather had a gas pump just like that many years ago on his farm, same model and everything.. Im currently working on a old retro chevron gas pump.. Its a 1947-1955 gilbarco 996 series.. Im just about to the point of ordering new parts for it on Vics66...
Hummm... Unless we do a reenactment of the gas shortages of 1973... and we could stage a "line to the gas pump" or signs which read, "OUT Of GAS"! Now... Those were the daze! ....or not....
I recommend a pressure sensor alarm that is set as to where makes a ton of noise to either alert you, your neighbors or startle the thief. I'm with God I hate theft but I refer to Him for retribution.
Toy Man Television trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/08/05-investigators-rule-up-844-excursion-death-accidental-family-agrees Also too the investigation into the death of that woman who got struck and killed by Union Pacific 844 is finished and her death was ruled accidental. Her family agrees with the findings and they don’t want to take Union Pacific to court over her death plus they still want the locomotive to continue its excursion runs.
Early 70's a similar one still dispensed gas at our local Fire Station. Different in that it had 2 globes and when one was full you pushed a lever across to allow it to drain into the vehicle & meanwhile you could continue pumping to fill the other globe making for faster overall delivery. No idea of make. his was in New Zealand - were dual globe bowsers common in US too?
I'm setting my model railroad layout as a modern day freight and tourist railroad, I run both steam and diesel locomotives on it. Also in the video you talked about that you moved a shed to put a railroad grade, is that for a garden railroad or something?
I think 500? Or so. There were better ones out there that would’ve been easier to restore but they were over $1200. Moreover this guy was willing to drive it to us and that was huge
Congratulations on a very nice reproduction. Now, when you get it set up, put a webcam near by such that you can see the people, vehicle, and license plate of the next thief. Twenty-four hour record the web cam, and share it with the sheriff when this one disappears. If you don't do that, put up a small unobtrusive sign saying, "Night vision security cameras, call 916-356-5000". You can make up any number you think they will believe. I just used a Sacramento California area code and exchange with a 5000 behind it. Hopefully they will see it and decide it is not worth the risk. I hate it that you put all that work into it and somebody store it!!
Fortunately, we are in a pretty good neighborhood! We have a wonderful neighbor who lives next door, and has often let us know when something looks a bit strange.
Yup. Whole bunch of stuff stolen in 3 burglaries. The came back. First time stole my tools snowblower mower and air compressor. Rebuilt the damaged man door. A few days later door bashed again and models and antique cameras and photos all gone. Replaced the man door with a steel door and cross bar across the whole door. A week later they drove their truck through the 2 car door and took the gas pump and a jukebox
Back in the days of these pumps origins, these three manufacturing facilities, that had their start in the same community and at one time or another were all in business. The community is Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the pump manufacturers are Bowser, Tokheim, and Wayne. None of these brands are doing manufacturing or for that matter, have any longer any business identity with Fort Wayne. Also, the brand names for all these pump companies may not have survived the history of their brand. The Bowser family still has descendants of the company bearing their name in the Fort. The name WAYNE is from the name of the community, and that of General Anthony Wayne, a commander with the Revolutionary War Army of George Washington. Tokheim, well I'm not sure about this name. Surely it can be found on Wikipedia.
Almost! The Mae West has a HUGE bottom casting about 18 inches tall. Then an extreme taper down to about 12 inches in diameter. Same jar mostly. Shell used them. As did a few others.
That is so cool. A friend bought a farm in the mid 80s that had one of those pumps only it didn't have the skins or globe. It was being used for diesel. I remember when they were behind most gas stations and or service shops.

Visible gas pumps are something beautiful nice find
Love old gas stations and pumps and such.
Now don't forget to bolt it down and use some security screws to stop thieves.
What a Awsome job of restoring history.
Two thumbs up.
Definitely some great advice!
@@karynfelix-the-Cat and the globe too.
One of those items you don't think about until you see one restored. Great job
Oh... We are still thinking about it a lot! I want to do another one..... someday!

Thank You!
Im from fort wayne where it all started
As always, you guyz really pumped me up with another fun video.
Yeah! It was a total GAS!! LOL!
Love the pump. Let's hope it stays there.
Mike
Need a better plan on keeping it there!! Bolts can be removed. Chains cut... Tall fence and gate it good... All three? AND a camera.
Hey Mr. Wayne 615 pump man, why not put it in side the garage mahhall. A prime position so that when you and visitours come in, they see it immediately. And have on of your Pocher cars there getting fuelled up. Love the RED that you picked out, probably just like original. Filler up!
How about a Dobemen LOL
It's so cute! Let's hope it stays where it belongs! With you guys!
Stinkin' cute!! A fun project for sure!
Nice restoration folks, you kids do get around. Loved the video. You all do love your Hobby’s.
That we do! Coming up Tuesday, Karyn shows her really weird collection..... class rings. And kids rings. And a really cool Union Pacific ring.
Awesome job on restoring the Wayne pump, it looks great.
Thanks!!
Nice restoration video. Great story about getting the globes. It is amazing what you can find if you ask around and keep your eyes open.
Indeed! I like to call it treasure hunting! I live for the thrill!!

Looks beautiful fantastic job
Thanks!! So fun to have it home..

We are also thinking sound effects... Like the sound of rattlesnakes coming from inside the pump, or a large growling dog... Maybe a ferrel cat!

When are you two going to stop being soooo amazing?! I love this! Nostalgic !
We sure had fun with this one! I have always loved these old gas pumps.. They sure tell a story!!
@@karynfelix-the-Cat I really enjoy all your stories about even just seemingly simple things!
yes!!! 260th Like!!! I love your show!! all the way from the Philippines..Good vid..
Wow!!!!! The Philippines!!! My dad was in a huge battle there in 1945. Injured twice. But they took back the islands. He died from those injuries in 1955. Glad you like the show! Working on the first Portland show right now!! An amazing hotel and a home on the top of a mountain. And a quick look at some trains and steam tractors
Toy Man Television amazing!!! My son Lloyd is also watching your channel...What a hero your father was..Thanks! Looking forward to your layout!
Your father made a legacy in the war... Now you and karen will make a legacy of the finest art of screwing around!
That looks fantastic! You both need to be commended for a job that took love and skill. Be proud. And most of all don't let it stolen!!
We saw a way to secure it in Los Angeles last week. A grand idea. Sort of like strapping down a water heater. Will also protect it from the odd earthquake!!
Fantastic...
mikethemoneymaker fun project!!
My second pump is Wayne 615 "vic's" and "gas pump heaven" are great places love the channel as well
Love old pumps! Well all “toys”
WOW....it came out great! Well done!
Nice job on the restoration.
Wow! Even though I wasn't around to see those pumps in use, it somehow brings back memories! You guys did a great job!
Love old gas ⛽️ pumps....awesome restoration job! Secure so as not have this one stolen....if it were me I’d bring it indoors....sad thing would be it couldn’t be shared with passers by!
... I wanted to put it in the living room.. but the celling is too low!
Bravo-Brava; Been waiting on this episode. Extremely nice job. Seriously. Greg and Jeanne.
Like”wow, you guys did an awesome job
That’s fun!!! Great project
Outstanding, love the restored pump! I hope it can live inside so it will not be stolen as your first one was.
Now another great episode the both of you screwing around. This one as I see has quite a lot of old fashion elbow grease used in this restoration. But the results were well worth the celebration. Sorry that your old pump was stolen there Toyman. This restoration came out really great and I how that the both of you will get much enjoyment while you are!screwing around.

That came out awesome! Great job on it 👍 I would bolt that down right to the cement to make sure it stays put. 🔐⛽️
For sure! Can't understand how someone could steal one...Pretty heavy! Follow the trail of bellybuttons!
Nice job! If I were you, I'd use drop in anchors and 3/8" all thread rods to hold the pump down to the drive way.
Yup!! And a gate. And a camera. And perhaps a smart laser weapon. Not sure on that one.
What a fun project.. My grandfather had a gas pump just like that many years ago on his farm, same model and everything.. Im currently working on a old retro chevron gas pump.. Its a 1947-1955 gilbarco 996 series.. Im just about to the point of ordering new parts for it on Vics66...
We are thinking of doing a calculating pump next.
You guys have such a cool channel. It seems like you love what you do, which is probably why it's fun to watch.
Continued success!
Thanks!!!
You did a beautiful job on the pump. Makes me want to put gas in my car :-)
Hummm... Unless we do a reenactment of the gas shortages of 1973... and we could stage a "line to the gas pump" or signs which read, "OUT Of GAS"! Now... Those were the daze! ....or not....
Might want to bolt that thing down. Hate for it to be stolen.....Love the video
Have plans to make it more secure.
Bolting the pump to the concrete driveway might keep it from "walking away" again. Nice resto job!
Glad you were able to defeat the dark side and bring balance! Ha ha! Actually you guys did a great job!
The farce was with us.....
Good job
wow that looks great!. Hmm, a new beer fountain. :-P
100 gallons of beer in the pump, 100 gallons of beer....
@@ToyManTelevision haha!
Greatings Dale & Karyn .. from Fort WAYNE, Indiana!!! Yep right where I live. Looks good.
Jason
Are they still there?
Unfortunately in 2006 Tokheim Wayne closed the doors.
Wayne fueling systems ... exist but not sure if that was the same original company though.
Beautiful!
I recommend a pressure sensor alarm that is set as to where makes a ton of noise to either alert you, your neighbors or startle the thief. I'm with God I hate theft but I refer to Him for retribution.
We have a set of cross bucks, lights and bell... Thinking of rigging that into an alarm! Somebody trips that, the whole of Salt Lake City will know!
That whould be a cool fish tank
I’ve seen that done!
Please Bolt that puppy down. I subscribed! Start Bolting!
That looks super neat! Did you guys get a new camera, because I see something a bit different for when you guys are speaking in the car.
Amazing
This gas pump makes me think about the Signal Oil Company Which was the main sponsor for the popular radio show The Whistler which ran from 1942-1955
COOL. Sound fun. Never heard of it before..

Yup!!! #1 gauge garden with a branch inside to the loco shop and yard.
Approximately how much did the old pump cost before restoration?
I think 500? Or so. There were better ones out there that would’ve been easier to restore but they were over $1200. Moreover this guy was willing to drive it to us and that was huge

I'd bolt that sucker down this time. Make it somewhat more difficult to steal anyhow.
No kidding. Like to have it bolted. And a gate. And a camera. And a mote with alligators.
I would bolt this one down so it can't be stolen.
Did I accidentally tune into American Restoration?
Mae West?
Almost! The Mae West has a HUGE bottom casting about 18 inches tall. Then an extreme taper down to about 12 inches in diameter. Same jar mostly. Shell used them. As did a few others.
Please chain it down, today they get stolen twice as fast.
Saw a cool system to anchor these here in Los Angeles
That is so cool. A friend bought a farm in the mid 80s that had one of those pumps only it didn't have the skins or globe. It was being used for diesel. I remember when they were behind most gas stations and or service shops.
Awesome job looks wonderful
Thanks!!
