Super. A number of the locomotives you have acquired have already proven themselves for over 40 years on my model railroad. I love the Athearn Bluebox locomotives, especially the Superpower EMD F-7 A and B units, and I still operate with nine Superpowered (5 F-7As and 4 F-7Bs) locomotives and four (1 F-7A and 3 F-7Bs) dummies. I spent a little over $25.00 for my first two Superpower F units. The old school Atlas frame has the same motor as the Atlas turntable, and I actually paid $10.00 awhile back for a frame with a motor, just like yours, to add power to my turntable. The broken Atlas Santa Fe SD-24, the Mantua/Tyco 0-4-0 steam switcher with tender, the Model Power/RSO New Haven Alco RS-11, and the Mantua/Tyco Plymouth CR-4 center cab diesel hydraulic "shunter" would be more than welcome on my railroad. Three CR-4s, one bought for $3.95 brand new (1967, my first loco) with a plastic clamshell case, a used one I paid $15.00 for, just to save it from a kid, and one brand new old stock Mantua/Tyco CR-4 I found in its original box at a hobby shop (Mizell's Trains) about two decades ago, but opened and missing the front handrail, all operate on my railroad. The newcomer was marked at $35.00, and I talked them down to $30.00. That is 10 times what I paid for the first one, but they run great and take care of my trolley line freight. (4 3/4 inch radius curves) One Mantua/Tyco 0-4-0 steam switcher ($19.95 new) survives at my sugar beet mill, one MP/RSO RS-11 ($18.97 new, from Woolworths) operates the yard, and two Atlas SD-24s ($25.99 each new, Caboose Hobbies) take care of the freight. These locomotives and other survivors in my fleet (64 old school, 27 new school steam, diesel, and electric locos) run great inside or outside, operate smoothly, and have a nice patina on the old paint job now that makes them look very realistic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
If you got a lot of Athearn "blue box" locos....you're already a winner!!! Those babies are built like tanks - they run and run and run, and they need just a little maintenance to keep them going. I have a couple of Athearn "blue box" locos I bought when I was 15. I'm now 63 - and those things STILL run!!! And BTW...it's easy as heck to put Kadee couplers on them as well!!!
Dam right they are built like tanks! My oldest locomotive is the Athearn Rock Island which was given to my by my grandfather about 25-30 years ago and it was always a great runner, never had to do anything major to it. Recently I did an overhaul to that locomotive where I stripped it down and rebalanced the armature and double flywheels and the resulting increase in speed blew my mind it made such a difference (like 30%) that I started to cry because I know my grandfather would have been very proud of me.
Great box o' stuff you got! Usually the "free" stuff has been taking up space for a long time. Just a way to make room for more stuff! AHH, back in the day...First thing I did with the Athearn BB Engines was replace the steel wheel sets with stainless steel wheel sets. SO MUCH BETTER electrical contact! Along with Kadee couplers. Rolling stock got metal wheels and Kadee #5 couplers.
I have never had any issues with the steel wheels on the blue box Athearn's, I have a blue box rock island with the black motor and steel flywheels that I have had most of my life like 30 years or so, it was also my very first Athearn and I have never had an issue with it and I rarely ever need to clean the wheels.
Hi there, RSO was part of Rivarossi. Some of MODEL POWER, AHM had the same type gears, motors drives were made in Italy, Yugoslavia & later Hong Kong mostly later MODEL POWER engines. All the fleets in the box was all interesting ! You shared on this video model train treasures! 😃 I enjoyed watching. 👍👋
Later on, Mehano made all the Model Power stuff in Yugoslavia, and also marketed under IHC. Once IHC went belly up after the old guy passed away in 2010 or so, Model Power locomotives were made by Mantua. (Mantua after separating from Tyco)
As a model railroader who has his own customer railroad, I have to agree with you on that one. I have actually THREE custom railroads - complete with custom decalling (which I also make myself). The first is the Senova Beach and Inland Railroad, the second is the Quail Valley Railroad, and the third is the Feather River Railroad. These three have "merged" so to speak, and livery of all three can be seen running on my layout.
Your first item, the Eurostar is also known as a Class 393 and is the original trains that were used between the UK and France through the Eurotunnel. As it’s a Hornby model it’s actually OO Gauge (1:76 scale) rather than HO. It’s the regular scale here in the UK. The real things are electric, taking power through the pantograph on the roof from catenary. They run in formation with a power car at each end. The Hornby models have one powered and one unpowered, and come with pairs of coaches.
I have a little news for you the locomotive in That Pokemon box was an Athearn Jeep locomotive you can tell by the fou motor mont dots on the bottom....

RSO, Mehano, IHC & AHC all got started in Yugoslavia. Cheers from eastern TN
Nice Haul Love the BN and Wis Central Engine.
The Santa Fe 979, is an older 70's Atlas Roco SD24. Made around 1978 or 79.

I have actually had the opposite experience with the wheels . Mine all seem to actually run better with the old sintered wheels
Your Walthers locomotive is a GP9 low hood. Rounded roof cabs are always earlier EMD's, like GP7, GP9 GP20 and SD9, or SD24.
I just got a box of these engines, a marklin 1982 display board with engines and a couple O gauge Lionel’s

The metal wheels on your passenger cars are for right and left the plastic ones are insulators to prevent shorting out.....
The R and C stuff is very likely a fantasy custom railroad by the previous owner.
As a model railroader who has his own customer railroad, I have to agree with you on that one.

That’s a nice haul of stuff! The Wisconsin Southern is a Walthers GP9M. It should be a good runner.
The Southern Pacific is mis packaged. It's actually an Athearn Blue Box GP35.
Very nice lot of locomotives, just subbed too!
I agree, Thx for the Sub!
Nice find! ☺
Oh, and RSO is an atest abbreviation used in the former Yugosavia, that's where Mehano models came from originally.

Cool, thanks for the info, wish it was the powered one rather than the unpowered.. oh well can't win them all.
R AND C is probably the name someone gave HIS own model railroad? People do that.
Exactly.
Nice lot……can’t wait to see you test them 👍
Already did, should be the 2nd video uploaded to this channel.
R and C is the Rutherglen and Coatbridge Railway. In the U.K./Ireland.
Cool, I never did look up what R & C actually stood for, now I know :)
@@HL4EHalfLife But why would a European line use American equipment. I think this could be someone's freelance line.
R & C == MOPAC repainted? Chessie Bluebird? C&O repainted? Still cool!
I have a little news for you the locomotive in
That Pokemon box was an Athearn Jeep locomotive you can tell by the fou motor mont dots on the bottom....
I will watch all of your videos tomorrow
The BN And Wis Central And The CN.
I want that pennsy f-7
The first unit is a eurostar which runs between and France through the channel tunnel !!
uf es como un sueno grandioso saludos
That's a mehano GE shunter.
I like to see the Santa Fe sd24 to get fixed and run also run them all
Been there, done that. Just take a look at the 2nd oldest video on the channel.
RSO is Mehano!
Burlington Northern
9162 is Canadian National
Out of All those Engines. How Many of those Engines Ran without Anymaintence?
Take a look at the test run video where I run each of these locomotives.
Dude that f7 in the bachmann box was not an f7 that wasn't even bachmann that was an athearn blue box in a bachmann box
Watch SMT Maineline
SMT Maineline copycat.
1. There are literally hundreds of channels dedicated to trains and that have the same kind of content. On top of that last time I checked his channel doesn't do competition videos.
2. I can upload whatever content I want, it doesn't make me a copycat.

Should I keep going?
So where is your channel's content?
