    Dave, maybe take out the windup motor and key and mount them on a flatbed since they are family heirloom pieces. then motorize the engine shell.

    Oh yeah, we ALL know what happens at York. You find stuff you didn't KNOW you needed!
    Hey, I didn't know I needed an as-new LTI era Lionel Reading Pacific and six as-new Williams Reading passenger cars to go with it, and all for less than $300! Doesn't that sound like something EVERYONE needs? It does to me!
    A good assortment of Marx for $60 Dave, and if you're happy with it that's all that matters. And the rough ones can always be stripped and freelanced into anything you like. They're rough, so it's no sin.
    A fun video, thanks for posting!

    @tomrogers5516 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Quite a haul of Marx train products you've gotten, Dave. I think you gave the re-evaluation a fair go, judging the value in terms of its worth to you. Such judgments are largely personal, but you're a handy guy in the workshop, so I'm sure you can make a silk purse out of any sows ear. You've done it before.

    • @dagryffynhobby
      @dagryffynhobby  Před 8 měsíci +1

    Good to have parts if you're going to do Marx. If you find a junk box at a meet you can get more parts. It's all inexpensive. 6" 4=wheel cars are fun to play with. Betcha find a rusted out UP cattle car with a nice door for a couple bucks.

    • @dagryffynhobby
      @dagryffynhobby  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thanks. Yeah, I’ve mixed and matched bases for rusted out cars before, and I’m definitely going to be looking for a wrecked cattle ca!

    As for the lighted caboose, missing the pick-up. BenzTrainz channel has some simple sliding pick-ups he designed, however putting on a Lionel type roller would be best for your track.

    • @dagryffynhobby
      @dagryffynhobby  Před 6 měsíci

      It would depend on the specific truck. Sometimes wheels can be removed with a little pressure, sometimes trucks need to come apart, sometimes a clip removed.
