This is my favorite Lionel Hudson, because it is the only one I own. Great film and info.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. That's the same reason why the dark blue suit from Macy's is my favorite!!
That's a beautiful looking #2055. Congrats on winning the final bid! I have two different versions of that engine. I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! I was surprised that it is the same size as the 736 Berkshire.
@@CloverdaleTransitAuthorityThat's amazing, I never even noticed that before. I really appreciate the reply. Frank
Just got into O gauge trains in general any trains in April 2024. A 2055 and tender the freight cars that are in the 1953 catalog 1033 transformer. Not knowing a thing about it your you tube channel has helped me out a lot. Thanks.
Thanks Todd. I am really glad to be of help in any small way. Best of luck with your collection!
Great find. These run great. You'll be very happy. Easy to clean inside. 3 screws underneath. No drive rod disconnects. Only he headlights wire is attached to the bulb clipped to the boiler front. Also a single screw above the headlight for front removal.
Cool. So happy not to have to disassemble drive rods!
Good find! Congratulations.
Nice locomotive. But the tender is not a 2046. Looks like a 6026 w tender , Built 1954 and 1955
When you setup your layout, make sure you include a Diner that serves Meatloaf.
Always. Meatloaf equals my favorite thing. But you got to have the mashed potatoes with it as well!
It’s not the postal worker’s fault your seller packed the engine in a flimsy-ass lightweight box.
The 2055 and 2065 loco's are identical in every way except the 2065 has heat recovery tank on the front and no green rhinestone lights on boiler front.
You also forgot to mention, or are unaware that both those engines have "Magne-traction". 736 and 682 and some others also have Magne-traction.
Other loco's do not. Tried to find a list of Magne-traction engines but couldn't find one. Although I am sure a list exists somewhere.
Good info. Thank you. I wish all locos (even new models) had Magne-traction!
Actually that is an Elesco Feedwater heater. I am a fan of those.
those are very nice and powerful locomotives. I checked and the 6046W tender is correct although most came with the 6046W Square tender. Those were made between 1956 and 1955. That tender would make me think you may be right for 1953. Good show.
I am slowly but surely getting the correct tender matches. Too many people selling postwar stuff with the wrong tenders. I have been referencing the Tandem Associates website tender chart.
@@CloverdaleTransitAuthority As I stated that was the correct tender issued the first year the 2055 came out. The 6046w wasn't produced until 1954. And I have been known to sell one with a wrong tender just to have one with the loco.
@@richardsobieck9660 I also think that if Lionel was packaging product to go out the door back in the day and they ran out of X tender, they might have been likely to throw whatever in the box. Afterall, these are "just toys for kids, right?" :D
@@CloverdaleTransitAuthority that was a common practice at Lionel. Remember, they were making toys not collectibles so they would do what ever was necessary. They also had a habit of using older parts before the newer items were used. It's not uncommon to find a Post War car with one bar end truck and one Staple end truck due to this. Substitutions were common.
THE 685 CAME IN AN O SCALE SET. THE 2055 CAME IN AN 027 SET. SAME ENGINE
YOU NEED TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK MR. LIONEL EXPERT!!!!
Knuckle draggers. You were being nice. I call them alot worse. Between the packages that arrive late cause they go for a scenic ride all over the midwest and the destroyed packages.
Our delivery people are really great. But I know so many people that get boxes that are beat to hell. Very frustrating. This one was lucky not to receive any damage even though the box looked shaky.
@@CloverdaleTransitAuthority My mailman is great. Between the local post office personnel and St Louis distribution center...its almost a crap shoot which way your items are going to go or how bad the box and or the items inside are going to be. I am going to say 1 out of ten is going to be destroyed. I took a box and that was destroyed to my post office. Opened it in front of them. All the guy said...what do you want me to do about it?
@@matchboxcustomsandrestos Some people are just trying to get through the day and others are giving 110%. And again, sometimes accidents happen.
If you think they're bad, you should see UPS. I once applied for a job at their distribution center; the way they threw things from their trucks to their conveyor systems was anything but gentle. They would have fired them from a cannon if it were practical. And yes, stuff gets broken, and often stolen, by their warehouse monkeys.
@@ostrich67 I bought a item from a guy that worked in a UPS warehouse. He was saying about the same thing. He told me never to use them.
I got the newer model of this the water boiler in the front i think its 1954 to 1956 i got mine off ebay as well should be here tomorrow or Saturday i hope
You're going to enjoy it. It's really a big postwar engine!
@@CloverdaleTransitAuthority i got a Baltimore and Ohio made 1959 and i love it and when i saw this steam locomotive I had to have it lol im new to the postwar im still learning as I go.
@@nscaledivision2336 it's a lot of fun and a lot to learn. Enjoy!! Thanks for checking out the channel.
Looks pretty pristine, nice find. I use JT's Smoke Pellet scented smoke fluid in mine. Cheaper, easier to find and more dependable than smoke pellets.
Thanks for the tip John!
I live in Ohio and looking for a good guy to work on post and prewar trains. You mentioned you had a good guy in your video? Thanks
Yeah. Send me an email to cloverdaletransitauthority@gmail.com
Great deal ,
I was very happy with it!
That's not the correct tender for that loco. Those came with the 6026W Square tender. But at least you got a tender. Many of those clowns separate the tender from the loco and try to get full price. Or perhaps more $ by selling the tender separate. Those are great running and pulling locos. Best of luck with her!
It also could have originally been packed at Lionel on a Friday. 😆
You mentioned you’re in Ohio? What part? I’m in Columbus.
Akron area.
You mean a 17 minute video and all that talking and you don't run the locomotive.? Really? It's a beautiful locomotive but at least run the engine around a few laps so we can see it running.
@@silverfox9948 lol! Well. You're right. This was one of the first CZcams videos I did and I hadn't come up with my format yet. I do have that running in one of my Christmas videos
