- Local swap meet haul video. This one's pretty interesting I think. If you know anything about what I found please let me know.
Wow, what a great find! Two really nice engines and awesome cars. Even better is the horn generator! Looking forward to see if you get the other piece figured out and working! Thanks for sharing! @Cbtrainnut
Excellent haul. The New Haven EP-5 Jet is one of my favorite locos in any scale.
You did VERY well at your train show!
Don’t repaint the diecast 302, as the lettering on it is solid.
Great rolling stock, too! Five digit B&O boxcar, NH box, 3dome tank car, caboose, and 5 digit NH electric loco!
All of this is hard to find, and you really lucked out!
I’ve been looking fo a NH Loco, to no avail.
Please leave everything in its original appearance. Great find! 🚂
You were living right when you got to that swap meet. If I had the opportunity to get what you got, I would be turning cartwheels, and I couldn't do that when I was a lot younger. Congratulations.
I cant do cartwheels either, but I can fix up these trains!
The second device probably needs endless loop cosset player tapes. Pacific Fast Mail had a similar unit in HO
I can't wait to see the EP-5 running. Was also known as the jet! LOL
Cool! Thanks for watching. I'm sure it will be running in no time
@@MygrandpasTrain looking forward to it
Nice purchase. The train set looks like the complete 1958 New Haven Mainline set# 20455
The guy I got it from has the rest of the track and maybe transformer for this set too. I might be able to pick that up soon to make a complete boxed set, without the box.
@@MygrandpasTrain That set as cataloged did not come with a transformer. I have that boxed set with all five-digit cars except the 913. Virtually all of those sets came with the 913; the other three-digit cars were used in'58 until supplies were exhausted.
Those NH electrics actually move very smartly, even with one motor. I have a whole fleet of them!
I was able to get it running although the motor field is compromised it still runs smooth. Once i get the cars "unstuck" the axles are really stiff it should pull those just fine. I like the simplicity of single motors.
Very nice haul you got!
That Horn is amazing!!! Sounds really good. I wonder if the second electronic box might be for ambient sounds that would have been in cassette tapes?
I was very impressed with the horn, I think i may install it on the AF layout. Yeah maybe extra sounds on tape, like brakes and squealing wheels
Great pick up.👍👍👍👍
Based on most of the rolling stock being 5 digits it is a good possibility that the 935 numbered caboose came in a box labeled 24618 Deluxe Caboose. Those marker lights will glow when the light is on. I have the same 935 numbered caboose and its original 24618 box purchased in 1958 by my father along with my 5 digit ALCO PA/PB/PA ATSF freight locomotives 21910,-1, -2. Your 913 GN may have come in a 5 digit box which was not uncommon as Described in Greenberg's book by Joe Deger.
I thought it was peculiar that there was a mix of 3 digit and 5 digit rolling stock in this set. That must make it an early 5 digit set when they were switching from one to the other. I did not find a date stamp inside the engine, but I'm assuming it's a 1958 set.
Is the 302AC a four piece diecast boiler 1948 or one piece diecast boiler 1950 & '51. Both had sheet metal tenders with sheet metal trailing truck with integral draw bar and Reading Lines herald and As merican Flyer Lines on the tender sides. Hope this helps. Sources are Doyle (3 variations) and Deger (six variations)..
Wow! Very nice 5 digit cars!
I've been looking for some cars like the C of Georgia and the Deluxe bay window caboose.
I wonder if that second box was designed to somehow give train sounds synchronized with what the train was doing. My best guess is that there were audio cassettes that had train sounds on them, and the tape 1 and tape 2 inputs were line-in/aux inputs for those. Hard to say. It would be wonderful to know who built it, and how the system worked- I do wonder if it was an original, one-off idea, or a project that was published in a magazine.
I've not been able to find any information on these other than the manufacture who looks like they made early DCC and wireless garden scale remote controls. The connections on the back indicate that it can sync with the throttle, but it will not send audio to the engine itself over the track. However, nowdays bluetooth exists and I can drop in mini wireless speakers and have sound without DCC!
