Nice old Lanterns 👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Nice lanterns. Yeah, restoring old things can be a long process, sometimes. We all have different levels of tenacity... Or maybe it's just toleration of chore involved. Me, I'm a Army veteran: no matter how grueling the task or training, we just grinned and asked for more. Haha, that was 3 decades ago. Yeah, i have two lanterns in my shed. Even though it is wired, the lanterns provide light and heat! Not 40kBtus, but just enough to take the edge off of a 25°F day. Looking forward to the lamp cookery...could be a hit!
Thanks so much for your kind comments and thank you for your service for our country 👍 🇺🇸
Thanks a million! I found an old lantern similar to yours and couldn't figure how to remove the shade. I was getting closer then did a search.
I have to clean mine up and repaint it.
Cheers.
You’re welcome and you’re going to love it when it’s finished and probably going to be on the hunt for more as you will find that this can become a very addictive hobby. 👍
Awesome job on the CT ham lantern there Ken! Me too I’m a wick snob too myself, as I like to have the flame just perfect & fine tuning on the trimming of the wicks on my lanterns! 👍👍 Neat little battery lantern too & a cool air duster that you scored too! 🙂🙂 Beautiful day here to light a few lanterns & it’s lantern time!🙂🙂
Thanks Jeff and that air Duster was one of the best tools I’ve bought I have found so many uses for that thing it’s unbelievable including cleaning out my toaster and grill of all things but especially for drying out the lantern founts that I have to do a complete wash on that I often buy in filthy condition 👍
The lantern looked beautiful when it was lit .😊
Thanks I appreciate it and also think it’s great 👍
Great Lanterns Ken👍 Thanks for sharing. I subscribed!🇺🇸
Thanks so much much appreciated 👍
Hello Ken, another nice video and great work on the restoration. Thank you.
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it
I understand the wick trimming preference. The flame should burn properly
Yes indeed and thank you 👍
Awesome lanterns! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching!
great video i was looking into getting a lantern and this vid sealed the deal lantern community seems fun
Very cool and welcome to a fantastic hobby 👍
Hey Ken excellent job on the Ham and the Winged Wheel no.350 with the LED lamp looks super bright too. Thanks for posting really enjoy your videos and always learn facts about lantens and restoring.
Thanks for that I appreciate it
Outstanding Ken! Looks great! Awesome little blower too!
Thanks
As a collector I am surprised you don't trim the wick ends or slightly half moon. My mother showed me many years ago.
Wicks should be trimmed straight across in most cases unless you have a deformed cone. This gives the widest and brightest flame. This is how these burner cones have been designed for maximum efficiency.
Just found you, great stuff. 👍
I prefer an arched trim myself. Lol
That blower looks good, better than the cans of air and easier than dragging out my compressor!
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Great job!
Thanks
Nice Ham New Style! Yeah, sloppy red paint is a PAIN!!! You did a good job. Say, that’s a really cool Warren Sta-Lit there! Love that metal on it! I’d love one of those!

Thanks Rob check out the link above for the video on the Warren stamping lantern I didn’t put the name in the title and you might have missed that one for some reason
Thanks Ken...got me looking for a New Style now lol.
Yes they are pretty cool and come up quite often on ebay hope you can snag one for a good price
You should look into setting up a electrolysis tank which can be done in a 5 gallon bucket. It's really easy and much cheaper and less labor than paint stripper.
Yes I would like that someday If I clean out the garage and make some room
Another great video. I need more practice with wick trimming. I take the scissors and cut straight across using the burner as my guide. Still, it seems the flame wants to do its own thing. 😀.
Do you prefer a certain type or brand of wick?
I just bought the cheapest 6 foot role of cotton wick for lanterns on Amazon.
Thanks for sharing sharing.
I buy the rolls of wicks on Amazon too and also sometimes buy them from WT Kirkman as well
Hey Ken. I’m about to get my first lantern. A feuerhand 275 from EBay. Not sure what I’m getting or how old it is but it looks pretty clean.
Congratulations 👍 Feuerhand lanterns are really great 👍
@@lotsatrains I hope so Ken. If I need any hints and tips I’ll be sure to hit you up. 👍🏻
Hi Ken, another very good restoration, that lantern looks great.
Thanks very much
If you have a 500 farad capacitor you may try a diode bridge and a induction pan cake coil and you could use that to run an led light and just have a cell phone charge charge up a led lamp and maybe use a solar panel to run the induction charger. Just a nutty idea.
I really enjoy your videos & I always learn something while watching. Just courious, how did you become interested in railroad lanterns? Also, which one or ones are your favorite(s)?
Thanks so much I kind of been a fan of lanterns since I was a kid by using them on camping trips and stopped camping as I got older but when I became a father and took my son to a model train display bought a small one for him in the gift shop took it home and dug out my 2 at the time which had been in storage for many years and fueled them up and burned them outside that night and the rest is history but as for my favorites I probably would say the large cold blasts but no particular one just depends on my mood 👍
Hello, could you tell the name of the small lantern again, please? It's so beautiful, but I don't know the type of it.
Thank you!
Hi it’s a winged wheel # 350 made in Japan
I have found lantern buying is addictive.
Oh yes it is very addicting I just hope not too hard on the finances
lol, absolutely, we know it but we can't help it, we must be compensating for something lol
I know absolutely nothing about lanters. Someone gave me a winged wheel number 500. Are they decent lanters?
Yes I like them they are made in Japan and decent quality and burn very good too 👍
@@lotsatrains are they worth any kind of money or are they a basic lantern?
Do you have any recommendation on lanterns I could use outside in winter around camp looking for somthing that will provide good light.
Yes probably my favorite is the Dietz Blizzard for outside it’s a big lantern that gives off very good light and will warm you up a bit also.
Have you ever worked on a presco 331 buggy light I think it's kind of rear .
No I haven’t but it sounds like a great one 👍
@lotsatrains I've rebult so very old Colman lanterns but not the kerosene types do you know of any that sells the glass . THX
@@MrRockydee07 have you checked out WT Kirkman at lanternnet.com
@lotsatrains Yes thank you, i talked with him this week he said it's a left side baggy light. He even said he didn't know what the original glass looked like . So I'll keep looking .
What Is The Lantern On The Left? Looks Like An Antique Dietz Jupiter 2500 Or A Close Derivative?
Warren stamping company Sta Lit lantern
@@lotsatrains Thank You...
👍
Thanks so much Hope all is well with you
Red Paint.. is the worst. Nice restore!!
Thanks so much.
What kind of paint do you use on the oil burner?
I don’t paint the burner
@@lotsatrains I mean the oil burning lantern. Do you use high heat paint?
@@HighSierraBob I actually just use regular spray paint and haven’t had any problems
@@lotsatrains okay, thanks.
too bad about the Winged Wheel
Tuna can to the rescue 😂
When batteries go bad they leak and corrode the terminals, and the terminals loose their conductivity.
Yes I have had lots of that lately too it seems only Energizer batteries are the only ones that don’t leak anymore
