  • I ordered this lot of vintage ho model locomotives off Ebay a while back and they finally arrived. I purchased this lot mostly for one engine in particular although there were two others which I show as well. I don't usually find stuff on there going for this cheap so I snapped it up while I had the chance.

    Well, Harrison, the Burlington Northern was the best one out of the lot. Sure, the New Haven looks nice, and you will get her running as well. Might just keep the Chattanooga for parts or kitbash it as a drive system for the Yellowstone.
    Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

    I had one of those old BN GP30 shells in my junk/parts box. Got it out, stripped it, repainted it into Family Lines and used an Athearn GP30 drive under it. Turned out great!

    I made a purchase with an Athearn FP45 off Ebay that had a Model Power E7A bundled in the auction a couple months ago. My interest was in the Athearn engine, but I found that the Model Power E7A (looks similar to a Rivarossi E units) wasn't a bad purchase after all. The Model Power unit had a nice big can motor inside with a big flywheel. If you find any of these Model Power locos, pick them up. They come in the models of E7A, E8A, and E9A.
    Also, a side note: The New Haven engine should be an E7A. To the best of my knowledge, I don't remember Tyco offering an E8 loco. The E7A's are easy to spot. The windows on the side are rectangle versus the round windows on the other E units, and the radiator fan setup on top is different than an E8 or E9 loco.

    Those Lionel GP30's had a much better than average body shell for the era they came from. Bachmann used the same tooling for its own GP30s, both in the Spectrum line and the standard Bachmann line; that's probably why it looks familiar to you. It was also a popular conversion project to take one of the Athearn GP30 frames from their 1960's wide-body GP30 model and replace the shell with one of these much better looking Lionels (I think it was written up as a project article in MR or MR Craftsman at some point in the 80s). The Bachmann Spectrum-edition GP30's were quite nice and reliable models for their time.

    Maybe you do find it at a train show; but when you consider most train shows charge and entry fee, the cost of gas, often a parking fee and time, Ebay can be the way to go.

    • @PapaMav
      @PapaMav 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Plus, with Ebay, you have consumer protections you don't get if you come home from the train show with something you bought at a price bc it was sold as working only to find out it has some fatal flaw.

    I have that same exact tyco Chattanooga, its not worth restoring. The tender driven system is one of the dumbest ideas in model railroading, the tender pushes the locomotive, and the locomotive tends to derail a lot. Other than that, you may figure something out. Best of luck restoring them! Awesome video!! 💯👍

      Lionel had several forays into HO. 50s/early 60s it pretty was a smaller version of the O27 line. The GP30 IIRC was part of a short lived attempt in the 70s that was taken over by Cox ( the line control airplane company) until Cox went under and Lionel returned to HO in the late 80s.

      @@garysprandel1817 Yep, and that 1970s GP30 shell has had a very long life, Bachmann used it in their standard line as well as in the Spectrum line. In fact, IIRC there is still one of the Spectrum editions of this shell being sold today in the basic "DCC on Board" Bachmann line in the Walthers catalog. They've kept the 1970s Atlas-Roco GP40 shell alive in that line also, talk about vintage tooling :)
