    I think you got a great deal on that Santa Fe War Bonnet set, Zach. It now has a really just-like-new appearance and runs smoothly. You given this gem a well deserved 2nd life on your fantastic layout. A real winner!

    Great video! I really enjoyed the quick description of your interest in the engine, your discussion of your "collection" your description of its acquisition and "tune up." But what I liked most was the way you brought all of that to a grand finale by running all four beauties at the same time.

    Hello Zac; Lackawanna John , What a amazing video of your Santa Fe war Bonnet engine's when you put on all 4 Santa Fe, back in 1950 to 1960 Lionel sold more Santa Fe engines then any other engine's ever. Again great video Zac. Lackawanna John.

    That was an AWESOME run of the F-3s. All the painstaking time you spent laying your track and making sure the connections were good for power sure paid off. The engines all ran smooth and solid. The 2383s were in stores when I was a kid, I drooled over them in the glass counters, but was never blessed with them. Santa thought I should GI Joes and a very bottom of the line Lionel set from 1965. Still fun, just not the bright red and silver war bonnet. Your videos are always fun to watch and may you and your wife have a very Happy New Year.

    You can also use bell wire for the wire connecting the motors, plus they're also color-coded the same way as the original wires are.
    For the horn, try spraying a shot or two of contact cleaner inside the horn and tap it all around with the back of a screwdriver. The diaphragm could just be stiff from not flexing for a while.

    Love what you are doing. I'm moving to a new place where I can I have my large dream layout. Hell all I need is 500 feet of living space. The rest a huge layout. I live 20 minutes from Deland show but I never find anything to buy. I do enjoy it. I would have been there today but I had to work to make train money! The thing about postwar I don't like is you have to run them fast because they have poor low speed performance.

    • @CountryBunkersTrains
      @CountryBunkersTrains  Рік тому

      Nice! Congrats on the new place! Even better getting to build that big layout! Yea, the Deland shows do usually seem to not have a lot. The couple Jacksonville shows left have been the same way…. makes me miss the shows up north but makes it easier in the wallet! LOL
