Tom, were you at the Monroeville show today (8/3/24)? If so, I think that I might've talked with you about a 2020 turbine.

yep, i've got one of these on the 18v X 2 Makita head, and use it to trim Olive trees. it'll go through 1/4 branches no problem. but i came here wondering about grass, as i need to clear tall grass and thistle on one of my properties. and you just answered that. thx!

It's more than just a train shop, it's also an antique store

Thank you. Ordering my new plug today.

Thank you for the video I bought one!

a proper polarized three prong plug is appropriate

Seems like this thing is a sickle bar mower on a stick, which is something that uniquely matches my property size - too small to need a sickle bar mower on my tractor, but too large for the string trimmer or bush blade. Can this cut through saplings and first or second year tree suckers? One-two finger thickness stuff. I sure like the various attachments they make for the split-shaft power unit. I've got the 36v and love it.

This is exactly what I was looking for!! I’m going to hang on my deck. The look so pretty.

I ordered the 40 volt power head with a trimmer and this hedge trimmer attachment I’ll let you know how it does with like mesquites and desert bushes

Thanks for the information brother!

Tom does that Hudson have firebox glow?

I have purchased trains from Pat's Trains. I am very happy with the service.

Nice stuff. Did they ever think about opening a store

There are people out there that will rewind that motor for you.

You never know it could be a 50? With no numbers how can you tell,it certainly needs to be cleaned first, the beauty of the early motors is that given the correct gauge wire, available still I believe, you can rewind the armature reasonably easily, if the armature is currently scrap it’s at least worth a go, main thing is you have fun doing it. But I agree first it needs to be cleaned !

The logical thing is clean them all first to see what paint you actually have? Given the condition of the caboose making a coal train one seems a good idea, it’s not a rare item so you aren’t ruining anything, personally I don’t like to break cars for spares but as a last resort if it keeps better ones running it needs to be done. Looking forward to seeing what you do.

Hi Tom, I really enjoy your channel! There comes a time when an antique item goes beyond the "patina" or "aged" phase and becomes just ugly and worn out. Only the owner can make that decision for himself and his collection. I've been a Lionel o-gauge collector for many years and I occasionally have restored an item or two because to me it makes the hobby and my collection more enjoyable and and much more desirable. I say, GO FOR IT!

Hey I got the same transformer and Everytime I turned on the power the green light dim and you tell me what the problem is

I’ve been contemplating this attachment and your demo has convinced me I need it. Thanks

This old Ives pattern tender seems really vulnerable to metal rot, I am lucky to have a near mint original one, hopefully after so many years good ones are now stable and won’t fall to bits, thanks for sharing

Some nice standard gauge pieces, thanks for sharing

I also run my 392 with a 384 tender, problem I find is the tender is worth more than the engine, also original 392s are pretty rare this side of the Atlantic, a wheel needing to be replaced is a small job I guess, all the ones I’ve found the casting has warped or broken and you’re back into repro territory, look forward to seeing this one on the rails again.

Wow, I have never seen so many steam engines in one place. I would’ve liked to seen some of the prices you’re going through a little bit fast, but it was nice to see. Thanks.

And you seen Chuck Brasher. WOW .

Thank you!!!! I’m gonna by one right now !!!!!

Not that it sheds any light on the models but my AB Texas Special set has a single motored A unit and the B unit matches yours with the solid base plus writing, it doesn’t have the number stamped underneath so yet another variant, love the videos from over here in the UK

It was a very nice show. Well done, and free. I bought several items because prices were very reasonable. Tues was a good day nice crowd but not too crowded. Plenty of time to browse

A great show , thanks for the video, I look forward to it each year

Which day has the best turnout? Do people pack up early Wednesday to set up at the fairgrounds?

lol, I just heard your comment, “LETS GO BRANDON” good job!

I am amazed at the size of the pre show at the Wyndham Hotel. That as larger or larger than anything in Cincinnati Ohio anymore. Thanks for sharing this video. You have a new subscriber! Chris, Cbtrainnut!

Thanks(s for sharing ! I hope to make it there once from AZ. So what did your hat say that was so offensive?

Is it only on Monday?

Great time no doubt

Fantastic showcase of a twice-annual free train show at the Wyndham Hotel near the TCA meet. 🚂🚂🚂

I like to use a VOM meter to make sure that I have not penetrated the new insulators somewhere. The only draw back with this method is that you have to sacrifice an otherwise good section of track to make an insulated outside third rail section.

You did a great job with the video, sorry I couldn't make it, because I live in California, we have show's but it is so far away from city's which is sad in the Bay area, then you pay $5.34 per gallon for gas out here and pay to get into the train show which is 50 miles away, so some don't attend plus you have to pay $10.00 to get in.

If you still have the other 38 there are people out there that will rewind motors for you.

The Marklin twin cylinder is sweet, Uve had it. BTW, the two cylinders have nothing to do with starting it without assistance,

Please slow down-you go so fast it's hard to see what's on the tables

I have o 27 gauge track and it's anchored I also have o 27 gauge switches that has the non derailing feature

Love this place.

No photos please, videos? Well images in general. I dont see no harm, no reason to raise a alarm, but if you dont want people to take images, just keep them in the basement.

You seen Chuck Brasher. O yea out in the parking lot you see dave Corbett, and there is a civil war man from Maryland, they call him Crazy John, he is a real hoot, i hung out with him, and we went and buzz the firehouse and the billy Budd, spent time with him at the big meet.

I been to four shows stayed at that hotel three times. Want to go again, not so much the York fairground, but this show, the billy budd, and the firehouse. And eat at Round the clock. Nirvana at its finest.

Terrific suggestion! I recommend using silver solder for this. Silver solder provides a permanent solution that can be reversed if needed. I used this technique back in my slot car racing days to solder Falcon motors to Flexi chassis. It effectively prevented any motor movement during crashes.

This is Amzing got to take my grandpa there he loves he trains

Why didn't you just plug it in and show us instead of just talking about it?

Tom, How can I find more information on purchasing these items??
