DirtyDan’s Christmas Special (Episode 22)
During 1991-1993 Tyco’s model trains began to become a thing of the past. They outsourced their production and shortly after cut model trains out of their market. Here are two of my sets from this short era.

In the mid 80s Bachmann produced a series of “tracksters”. These were often road vehicles that had been converted to hi-railers. I have been able to obtain 3 so far, here they are in all their glory.

American flyer, mainly known for their S gauge contributions, dipped into the HO market here and there. Later on they produced a few very unique and interesting action accessories. Here I showcase all 3 of mine, and demonstrate them in action.

In the Redbox era of Tyco, many are unaware of the smoking versions of some of the locomotives made at the time. The 0-4-0, 0-6-0, and 4-4-0 American were all made in a smoking version for 1962-63. Here’s my few examples.

Here’s a short clean up and service on my Lionel HO 0-4-0 Steamer. I recently bought it at a train show and wanted to get it back up and running.

Finally after nearly 4 years here is a look at my Pennsy I1 2-10-0 decapod. I customized this locomotive over the course of a few months turning it into something I could be proud of. This engine has been that face of my channel for a while now and this video is a great explanation as to why.

Here’s a look at my full collection of N scale locomotives and rolling stock. I’ve collected various pieces for different places over the years but I’ve never really given them a dedicated video, so here it is!

This is my Aristo Craft 4-2-2 “Bicycle” Type locomotive. It’s a very strange piece in general, and that’s why I picked it up.

Probably one of the strangest customs you’ll see in a while. 4 years ago I turned this innocent Tyco crane into some sort of locomotive. I have no clue why, but it exists.

This is my 1982 Tyco Johnson Wax promotional train set. I’ve had this set for years now but have never shown it on camera. It’s quite an uncommon set and while I was filming this episode on it, the caboose sparked a bit of a mystery.

Bachmann’s 1980 “4-6-0”: Unique Fantasy Model or Unholy Abomination?
I think the trains and vehicles Will be zamak (die cast metal) body metal and chasis plástic parts like a hotwheels with same scale 1/87 Ho
I can see the changes in production. The trucks on the cars are different with roller bearing trucks, but there is one thing that I never liked to well from a certain locomotive offered. The fuel tank on the C430 looks quite weird. I'm not sure why Mehano made this fuel tank the way they did. It will always be a mystery on what the thinking for it was at the time.
Honestly the Mahano Chattanooga would be better if it was a 2-8-2 as I could picture that doing freight work
Great video Dan, I noticed the cars have the modern day roller bearing trucks compared to the old (friction bearing) Bettendorf trucks Tyco use to use on their cars, very cool!
I had one of those vans in blue back in the day. (Yes, I'm a bit old now.) It was surely a novelty item back when I was a kid. As far as the construction goes, it's basically a slot car that was designed to run on the rails. So, the performance is to be expected for the design due to its small size. I would like to say as a novelty it, it did help to pique some interest in the hobby even though they were not the greatest runners.
It's possible the Mehano C430 tooling was derived from Pemco tooling
Dannnnnn!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE YOU DAN!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
GP20
Though Tyco trains weren't the best overall in quality, compared to many today...they have always had and still do have a kind of interesting/good charm about them. I had many a Tyco train in my youth, and they still have a place in my heart today.
Same for me. 👍
I like the mahano Chattanooga although mine does not work Right now it's got a stripped out gear and the body is not in very good shape at all
I wanna find me one if them lil trucks now n custom paint it with sum heavy metallic paint
Those Tyco hopper cars are too light weight. I bet if you used some Ulrich all metal hopper cars this accessory would work much better.
Very cool hyrail vehicles Dan, I remember when these first came out back in the day 😎 Great video!
Dirty, you`ve done it again, MERRY CHRISTMAS .
I have the UP Bus and the Amtrak High Cube Van. No, they dont run well, but when they do run, they are cool!! I also had the Handcar.
Idk why no company makes more hyrail equipment
I had that exact Pemco Chessie loco on my first layout something close to 40 years ago! Thanks for showing it; it really brings back memories.🙂
Great video Dan I'm glad to see some of those are running I've got maybe two of them maybe three but I'm not totally sure. If you ever are looking for parts I might have some I'll have to see what I've got in my stockpile
I had one of the 040 come threw my eBay shop the last few days
3:48 he do be drifting, a true hy-rail moment
1:55 boom
Hello Dirty Dan how are you doing happy holidays I have the van and a bus also box cab truck track sters
3:07 am I tweaking or is the table moving
3:48 TRUCK DRIFTING ON RAILS?
Thank you for your Christmas video uploads. I enjoy watching your content. I hope you keep making videos still when the holidays are done.
Oh yea , ,and they still got these types. Mine is a crew work bus ,all white and has hi raisers, fun stuff ❤❤❤😊
Nice, Dan! The club has that same Conrail truck on their HO layout! I have the van myself, except this one is blue, not red.
great vlog running trains
First
The A.C. Gilbert would go under in 1967
Nice and impressive but for me (no offense) 'action accessories' isn't my thing to me it would be too 'toy like' and 'gimmicky' when it comes to my model trains im very conservative im not into gimmicks and short lived fads..
Very cool Dan, I've never seen these car's before 👍
Running trains, shooting rockets (and other things), and blowing things up--things every (crazy) kid loves to do!!!
Great video Dan I had a similar exploding boxcar from Lionel HO
I got three NYC Hudson's & a 060 in ho scale
great chrismas train
I have the rocket launcher car but minus the rocket. By the way I got at a junk store
Love these operating cars. Never seen the rocket launcher before!
Awesome video Dan I have a couple of the accessories too and a few of the locomotives as well.
Glad to see this series return!
Very cool!
I have the Santa Fe E60CF but the motor was junk so i had to make it a dummy unut unfortunately
I have a couple of those 0-4-0 locomotives in non-smoking versions along with a "Little Six" (0-6-0T) and an 1980s Mantua (0-4-0T) Saddle Tanker in my collection of little (switcher) Tyco/Mantua steam engines. Someday, I would like to find a "Big Six" (0-6-0) to round out the collection along with considering finding one of those General (4-4-0) to add to the collection.
Is the sound supposed to be a horn or prime mover noise
Get some gun oil that will make some great smoke
Another amazing episode by Dirty Dan! I love the old Tyco sets. They are amazing. But aside from trains, and how well yours run, "The vintage artwork in the catalogs or box sets is deeply appreciated." None of the new stuff today comes close. Thank You
This is awesome Dan I've seen a few of them in the past that train shows I can understand they're hard to find. Great video man
great running of trains
2:05 holy smokes
That Modeltronics board is pretty fascinating. Here's a link to a guy showing his off. Apparently there’s two potentiometers on one side of that board to control the sound effects. th-cam.com/video/3Va7xdBsGKk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6oAaXQrXAL_YXjo_
