My Great finds at the Greenberg toy and train show 8/4/2024 Lionel Standard 155 freight sheds
Hi All , Every time every trip every show ..... ALL WORTH IT. I manage to find something that really catches my eyes. At this show two Lionel pre war 155 Freight Sheds won the day. I also found a Lionel pre war coal tender, it's a repaint but very nice job. Postwar Lionel O Gauge 156 station platform painted bakelite , with the Original Box and incert. This station really doesn't look to have been really used.
The two in the back ground were in my collection fo ra few years. Now these are being replaced. Will be sold very soon.
The figures were found at several flea markets in the recent past.
I hope you will like share and Please leave a comment. This all helps build my very small channel

Thanks Benny,
Does anybody know if the Greenberg train show will still be on for this Saturday in Edison New Jersey due to the weather?
Not sure, keep eye on the web site. They should update if not going to be open . Good luck
Fantastic acquisitions Tom! 👍
Thank you , I seem to find some very satisfying vintage trains. Just keep an open mind and never give up the search.....😀

Tom, were you at the Monroeville show today (8/3/24)? If so, I think that I might've talked with you about a 2020 turbine.
Hi yes , I'm going to be at Neely's Train Shop tables ....All 20 of them. See you there
yep, i've got one of these on the 18v X 2 Makita head, and use it to trim Olive trees. it'll go through 1/4 branches no problem. but i came here wondering about grass, as i need to clear tall grass and thistle on one of my properties. and you just answered that. thx!
It's more than just a train shop, it's also an antique store
Thank you. Ordering my new plug today.
Thank you for the video I bought one!
These are very cool
a proper polarized three prong plug is appropriate
Seems like this thing is a sickle bar mower on a stick, which is something that uniquely matches my property size - too small to need a sickle bar mower on my tractor, but too large for the string trimmer or bush blade. Can this cut through saplings and first or second year tree suckers? One-two finger thickness stuff. I sure like the various attachments they make for the split-shaft power unit. I've got the 36v and love it.
So I ended up getting one of these and another in a half length version and answered my own question: Yes, it will cut saplings up to about an inch thick. What a lifesaver, this is very easy to use compared to a circular brush blade in my application. I imagine it'll really use up batteries on an 18v, it does decent on my 36v and I bet the 40v version is the best of them all with this tool. Do yourself a favor and buy the harness, it makes it much easier to cut down slopes and weird angles.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! I’m going to hang on my deck. The look so pretty.
Hi Glad this helped. The only negative is the dirt gets dry real fast . The containers need watered very good every day. Also keep the holes small in the new bottom and keep the cap on the top. We are growing Kale this year, thanks for loking and good luck
I ordered the 40 volt power head with a trimmer and this hedge trimmer attachment I’ll let you know how it does with like mesquites and desert bushes
I really don't need the 40 volt here. The 40 volt is over kill and a waste of $$. Yep I may need to carry a couple of power packs with me depending on the job. Keep in mind that you don't have the unit running all the time like a gas powered unit. The most important thing your not mixing gas and oil and don't have that noise. Please do let me know how it works and I'm glad the video gave you some ideas .
Thanks for the information brother!
No problem 👍
Tom does that Hudson have firebox glow?
Hi , Yes it does
I have purchased trains from Pat's Trains. I am very happy with the service.
Nice stuff. Did they ever think about opening a store
They do have a store in Wheeling WV. That place is packed you should go there and spend a few HOURS looking.
There are people out there that will rewind that motor for you.
You never know it could be a 50? With no numbers how can you tell,it certainly needs to be cleaned first, the beauty of the early motors is that given the correct gauge wire, available still I believe, you can rewind the armature reasonably easily, if the armature is currently scrap it’s at least worth a go, main thing is you have fun doing it. But I agree first it needs to be cleaned !
Your correct, it maybe a 50 but really has all indications of being a 38. At this is my wish. The rewinding an armature is a thing that is not in the works for me. possibly in another 10 years or so. I have way to many projects going on now, one is redoing my layout and adding standard gauge loop. this alone will be a real undertaking alone. Are you experienced in the rewinding of the armatures?
@@lionelmaxltd hi, yes I’ve had a go at a couple, first was an Ives armature, I just unwound the old wire, counted the number of turns and rewound by hand, the armature is still good, there is a lot written about calculations etc, but if you get the correct gauge wire and match the turns it works, I also rebuilt an Ives flat commutator using copper sheet, I figured if something is scrap anyway why not have a go? I enjoy your videos and good luck with the models. Tim
The logical thing is clean them all first to see what paint you actually have? Given the condition of the caboose making a coal train one seems a good idea, it’s not a rare item so you aren’t ruining anything, personally I don’t like to break cars for spares but as a last resort if it keeps better ones running it needs to be done. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
Another very good idea and opinion, I do agree with keeping them as is and even running them after cleaning the axles and wheels. I just put wheels and axles in my rock tumbler for a day or two. I do say the cars have some great character. I really don't like pulling them apart. Just went out and bought a new sandblaster cabinet for these larger projects.... we will need hold on and see what other suggestions come up. thanks for the ideas
Hi Tom, I really enjoy your channel! There comes a time when an antique item goes beyond the "patina" or "aged" phase and becomes just ugly and worn out. Only the owner can make that decision for himself and his collection. I've been a Lionel o-gauge collector for many years and I occasionally have restored an item or two because to me it makes the hobby and my collection more enjoyable and and much more desirable. I say, GO FOR IT!
Hey I got the same transformer and Everytime I turned on the power the green light dim and you tell me what the problem is
Sounds like you have a short or grounded power wire. This could be an old wire that the plastic covering has dried and fell off. or this may be a wire that rubbed the coating off. You shouldn't plug it in till you have the transformer serviced.
I’ve been contemplating this attachment and your demo has convinced me I need it. Thanks
Cool, I'm very impressed with the many projects that we can do with this trimmer. I know you will like.
This old Ives pattern tender seems really vulnerable to metal rot, I am lucky to have a near mint original one, hopefully after so many years good ones are now stable and won’t fall to bits, thanks for sharing
Some nice standard gauge pieces, thanks for sharing
your welcome , thanks for looking😉
I also run my 392 with a 384 tender, problem I find is the tender is worth more than the engine, also original 392s are pretty rare this side of the Atlantic, a wheel needing to be replaced is a small job I guess, all the ones I’ve found the casting has warped or broken and you’re back into repro territory, look forward to seeing this one on the rails again.
Yes the tenders do run a bit more than the steamers. The castings were made from that bad materials and we have the same problems here in the US. I'm glad this one was some what reasonable. I do have original replacement wheels and not hard to job to do. I'll be pulling all the wheels and cleaning them in a rock tumbler. so they all will have the same look. the other task is going to be getting the whistle working. Good to hear from Ya
Wow, I have never seen so many steam engines in one place. I would’ve liked to seen some of the prices you’re going through a little bit fast, but it was nice to see. Thanks.
Hi Thanks for looking , next time I'll go thru slower showing more prices...

Guess I should have done a follow up. THIS TRIMMER IS GREAT!!!!! Thanks Please do stop back
Not that it sheds any light on the models but my AB Texas Special set has a single motored A unit and the B unit matches yours with the solid base plus writing, it doesn’t have the number stamped underneath so yet another variant, love the videos from over here in the UK
Hey good to hear from you. Yes looks like something new. But so many people have fooled around with the trains over the years, In my opinion I really do think that things just get switched around and never get back to where they really do belong .....???? IDK Please do stay in touch , Thanks
It was a very nice show. Well done, and free. I bought several items because prices were very reasonable. Tues was a good day nice crowd but not too crowded. Plenty of time to browse
Happy to hear you have a good time. Hope to see ya in the fall.
A great show , thanks for the video, I look forward to it each year
Glad you enjoyed it, Hope to see you there in the fall. Saw your layout ...nice vids Thanks
Which day has the best turnout? Do people pack up early Wednesday to set up at the fairgrounds?
Monday , Tuesday, Wednesday all are good days. Yes everyone starts packing up around noon and starts the move to the fair grounds.

I like to use a VOM meter to make sure that I have not penetrated the new insulators somewhere. The only draw back with this method is that you have to sacrifice an otherwise good section of track to make an insulated outside third rail section.

You did a great job with the video, sorry I couldn't make it, because I live in California, we have show's but it is so far away from city's which is sad in the Bay area, then you pay $5.34 per gallon for gas out here and pay to get into the train show which is 50 miles away, so some don't attend plus you have to pay $10.00 to get in.
