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.

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.

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.

    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

    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.

    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.
