Williams stuff will last forever. I have stuff dating back to the 80s and all still operate perfectly. Nice haul BTW!
Ooooo Williams definitely has a reputation for running for ever! Thank you!
Congratulations on your latest haul! The are some beautiful trains. Love the Amtrak set!👍
Thank you! It’s definitely an eye catching set!
I love Wilkiams stuff. I have a Williams Brass SP cab forward I upgraded with blunami and 3 of the 80 foot streamliner SP daylight aluminum passenger cars. Still adding more as I find them but I have been beyond pleased with them!
Very nice!
I have more Williams than any other maker. Easy to work on, reliable, solid stuff. I have the same Amtrak set myself. Nice haul!!! Thx
That’s the truth!! Thank you!
Hell yeah, welcome to the Genny life! The MTH or Atlas premier ones are nice :)
Yessir finally joined the amtrak family! I’m kind of thinking of selling the Williams one and trying to find a genny that has dcs!
@Pgk.railway I've been very happy with my atlas premier genny. It's scale, great detail, and while I have O72, it'll do O31... I'll certainly be adding the older mth premier versions here and there as I can.
Awesome stuff you got.
Thanks!
Looks like you scored big! Beautiful stuff! As you know I'm primarily a post-war guy, so I bought an FM Trainmaster 2321 a couple of weeks ago for cheap on ebay. It was a little rough when I got it, but it looks and runs great now.
Thank you!! Very nice a postwar fm Trainmaster is definitely still on my bucket list! Sounds like you definitely scored those are awesome engines!
The Brass Locomotives from Williams are built to Scale and some require larger curves than 0-31. The wheels are to scale and may derail, especially on Old Tubular Track.
It’s run quite well so far but I’m sticking to running it on 0-42
Awesome 👍🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
Great haul! My favorites are the Chessie GP38 and the CSX B&O. Look forward to seeing them run - Ryan
Thank you! Videos will be out soon the chessie is up first!
great finds buddy!!
Thank you!
Great Amtrak set not familiar with willams,very nice Chessie locomotive I have the lionel chessie gp38 great locomotive 👍 cool steamer, you scored at that flea market 👍,(where was that flea market?I need to beat you there 🧐lol )I am a Csx guy and definitely mth yet I do have some Lionel,that Csx is gorgeous love it 👍 get on track and run it great find
lol this flea market was in pace Florida! There will be a video made on the heritage unit very soon!
You did great!
Your brass Williams piece can be upgraded to DCS, Blunami, etc. Just a matter of whether you want to do it or have someone else.
Love the AC6000. I am looking for the WM version.
Enjoy them. 😊
Thank you! I’ll definitely have to keep that in mind! Best of luck with the hunt!!
The weaver GP 38 probably has split axel gears. Last time I checked (@ 2 or 3 years ago) P&D hobby had replacements available. Also, assuming the engine has the sprocket towers with the delrin chain, the sprocket gears also may be split. The last runs of these engines had a "China" drive which I have never repaired.
Good luck and I enjoyed the video.

Congratulations! That's a fantastic assortment you picked up at that flea market! And don't feel bad for what you paid, if the seller's happy and you're happy there's no reason for guilt. Here's the lesson for everyone, DON'T discount flea markets as a source for toy trains! You never know what's in there until you look! It's no guarantee you'll find some good stuff BUT I've gotten some "right-place, right-time" deals at flea markets myself.
You're going to love those Williams products! Williams trains were damn near bulletproof and it's a shame Bachmann bought the line and then didn't know what to do with it. One bit of advice I'll give you on the Genesis diesel, if it's like the twin-motor Williams diesels I've got it's probably going to take off like a rocket when you power it up. An easy fix, wire the motors in series and it'll tame it right down. It'll also improve the illumination of the passenger cars as well since it'll take more power to get the engine moving.
Since there's little to no collector interest in Williams trains the prices tend to be VERY reasonable when you find them and there's still plenty out there.
You know, that fantasy B&O Heritage unit looks a LOT better than the Half-Heritage unit CSX is running now!
Again, well done! Thanks for posting
Awesome video and great finds!
Thank you!
Nice lot,Williams makes a decent product. I own Manny,but having issues finding parts like horns for diesel shells.i found a seller for new pilots. Keep the vids going fantastic job... Enjoy the new items nice pick up
Thank you! Williams definitely makes some great products it’s sad to see what Bachmann has done to the Williams line!
What a great haul I have 2 sets o Williams passenger cars you can’t beat them for the price that ac6000 is totally amazing
Very nice!! It’s a beautiful engine!
Recently I've been eyeing a williams B&O hudson and 6 streamlined passenger cars....costs over 800 but still
Very nice! Hopefully one can come up at a price that works for you!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
William"s is great.
Oh absolutely!
Woohoo! So happy for you. Killer haul.
Thank you!
You can't go wrong with Williams as far as conventional running goes. Lasts forever.
That’s the truth!

I have seven B&O smooth side Premiere MTH cars that would match that engine perfect Great Hall
If the prices were too low MAYBE all came by route of theft....who in a estate sale would HAVE new in box and barely opened stuff..who died leaving THAT
The possibility of theft by the seller, while not unheard of, doesn't rule out the original owner passing away with unopened trains. A running trope in this hobby (particularly in O-gauge) is people having more stuff than they can fit on their layouts, or can store in an easy-to-access location, leading to pieces sitting in unopened, sometimes factory-sealed boxes for years if not decades simply for lack of time or current infrastructure.
Stories abound of collectors/operators buying a sought-after piece, only to discover that they already had an unused example sitting in an obscure corner or behind other equipment stacked in front of it. Still others build a collection in anticipation of a future layout still years away from construction or completion (a reality in this hobby is that certain pieces, if you don't jump on them when they're released, will be difficult to near-impossible to acquire at some vague point in the future when you have the wherewithal to put them to use right away).
@@RailRide yes...more information about it all would tell, like the overall wealth of the person and the other things for sale, STILL , EVEN WHEN TRUE, YOU MAKE DEFINITE OPINIONS SIGHT UNSEEN ABOUT what is normal and what is justified normal behavior for you , for us EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO opinions and judgement of PEOPLE AND GROUPS OF PEOPLE....AGAIN it all GOES INTO proving the trite cliche that you can't judge a BOOK or a person by its cover is a massive lie.., and one used to enslave
I don’t think it was theft he bought an estate and is a retired vet who was trying to get some cash to travel the country after closing his store
You didn't even bother to tell us how much you paid for everything. It would had been a better video if you had. Why didn't you?
