  • For the first time in two years the Ottawa OVAR model train show/flea market is back! This has to have been one of the best I've ever been to since every seller had several years worth of stock they were trying to off load, so everything was at a major discount. This made for an amazing haul of different locomotives and rolling stock, including an entire collection of random items for $5. I can't wait to get working on all the different projects.

    The German Roco locomotive is a 111 Class and the German silvershaped coaches are called "Silberlinge". These coaches are used as one unit with the 111 loco, it is a push and pull trainset for local passenger trains. The trainset is in the shape from the late 80es and early 90ies. Roco is a really high end modelrailwaymanufacturer. You made a great deal getting these trainset!

      This is absolutely crazy. I'm from central Europe and if these tables were here, I would literally fill my van with everything offered there on spot and spend the next 15 years with my kids building train layouts... after building the necessary garden house or two to fit it all in. Sadly, here a good deal on most of stuff offered between 0 and 1 CAD is somewhere between 10 and 50 Euro if you are lucky.

    Nice additions to your collection Harrison. The E8s were marketed by Model Power and made by Roco. They have a huge can motor and flywheel but were growly when new. It’s amazing that the interurban ran. Thanks as always for sharing your interest with us.

    17:10 Atlas always ran great because of all wheel pickup snd nickel plated wheels. The Athearn is one of those early blue box GP-35 with the hood that was a scale foot and half too wide.

    8:08 SNCF TEE Baggage Car. Jouef Made in either France or Ireland 1970s
    8:57 German S-Bahn loco. That is a serious find as they are expensive models and well made
    9:11 Think it might be Hornby Acho French regional electric. Not completely sure
    9:17 Palitoy OO gauge auto transporter I think? Sort of French Prototype. The little cars are hard to find and collectable.
    9:30 Hornby British Railway Container Train Wagon. OO gauge
    9:37 The two German 'Silverfish' cars go with the Roco S-Bahn loco so you have a complete 1980s German suburban train now.
    10:09 Brazilian State Railways loco. What a find!
    10:55 A fairly valuable and easy to repair loco.
    and you got the rest of the S-Bahn train.
    Deal of the Century! Well done.

    • @SMTMainline
      @SMTMainline  2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Wow, I wasn't expecting such a comprehensive list of the entire box, thanks a bunch for sharing!

    • @Pmare4
      @Pmare4 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The loco at 9:11 is a Marklin SEW800, from about 1951. Even without the motor it is a very desirable item and worth a substantial amount to a collector .
      The little German tinplate coach and 0-4-0 steam loco are both Trix Express. The loco should run on 4.5V DC as it was originally sold as part of a small battery operated starter set in the late 50s.
      The 3-rail diesel loco is a Marklin 3021.
      As for the Dublo loco, it needs a lot of work - the tender chassis and front bogie are both incorrect, and it looks like somebody has been fiddling around with the smokebox door too. Ludlow Castles are always 3-rail (2 rail locos are named either Denbigh or Cardiff Castle) from the factory, so I assume that the hideous modifications have been carried out with a view to allowing it to run on two rail track. The great shame of it is that Ludlow Castle is the really rare name, with the more common earlier 3 rail locos being named Bristol Castle.

    Great Stuff Harrison, The RFFSA one is based on an EMD Export G model, we had them here in New Zealand with A1A trucks and they were a G12 model, that Pennsy baby trainmaster is something I've been after for years hard to get different ho stuff way over here in NZ.

    My son and I have really enjoyed watching your videos. We have taken many old tyco engines and have started rebuilding them. He is always looking for projects at train shows now. He wanted me to let you know that the Atlantic Coast Line became the Seaboard Coast Line when they merged with the Seaboard Airline. He is really interested in your Pennsylvania Fairbanks Morse engine that you mentioned you wanted to pass on to someone.
    Thank you for the fun videos. You help keep our projects going.

    Hey, I like your style man. Even though the sellers are at "Give Away" stage, you sill maintain respect for the process and, at that point, cold be considered a reward, you offer them some money, if for no other reason than "Time & Effort".
    It's one thing to just give something away to someone who you hope will appreciate it and it's another thing to "Sell Something for Nothing".

    The second passenger car from Germany is a cab car, which means (just like you said) it is a push-pull system, where there can be 2 locomotives( 1 at each end of a train) or 1 locomotive at one end and a cab car at the other. These are some railroads in the USA and Canada (wanted to include Canada since I heard that you live in Canada ;): Chicago & Northwestern, Metra, Metro North, Long Island Railroad, New Jersey Transit, SEPTA, Marc, VRE, MBTA, Trinity Railway Express, TRI-RAIL, Caltrain and ACE (I live in the Bay Area, specifically Martinez and I have been on ACE before, and I have also been on Metrolink before as well), Metrolink and Coaster, UTA Frontrunner. Canada: Go Transit, Via Rail, and AMT. Thank you SMT for the great video! Keep up the great work!

    Glad to see train shows up in your neck of the woods are doing well. Attended one here in the Chicago area for the first time in about 12 years and it was a case of you can't go home again as that show was 6 buildings on the fair grounds and was now 2 buildings.
    Unfortunately the guys either offering their entire table,selling dirt cheap or just giving stock away are probably looking to get rid of stock to get out as there were a few guys at this show that said just that.
    That locomotive will never ride the rails again.
    Harrison: challenge accepted.
    That German locomotive might be a candidate for an Athearn drive/chassis transplant, the electric shell looks to be French and the red and yellow hood unit seems Russian/former soviet block.
    Atlas FP7 excellent haul and yes Seaboard Coast Line is related to Atlantic Coast Line. ACL merged with Seaboard Air Line ( not an actual air line as in planes but in the railroad use of the term referring to an arrow straight section of track or most direct route) in the late 60s and SCL adopted the last ACL livery.
    Pennsylvania locomotive looks to be a Baby Trainmaster and IIRC Model Power and or Mehano made a GG1 as well.

I don't remember the procedure to modify it, but you can probably look it up, it seemed kinda simple to do. Going to look it up again once I have space for a layout again.

    Wow, I woulda had a field day! That box of European equipment is a really neat find.
    I had my own score this weekend, a friend who works at the town dump set aside some trains for me that someone left there. HO isn't my main thing, but there was some O gauge and some HO, and among a bunch of generic Roco rolling stock was a Rivarossi NKP Berkshire. Not only that, but the original AHM/Rivarossi manual for it, and an AHM combined train set manual and catalog. Both are dated 1973 so I think that's when the engine was made. It wouldn't run when placed on the track, but hooking leads up to the drawbar and trailing truck got it running, albeit poorly. I wasn't too worried about getting it going, and I'm happy to report that she runs beautifully now, aside from wheel slip issues that I think are caused by the traction tire having partially dried out. I think the previous owner took largely good care of it because there was barely any cosmetic damage, and it was relatively clean inside and out. I'm really impressed with the quality, I may well keep it in my collection.

      Would you happen to have the part numbers and reference diagrams in that manual, maybe be able to photocopy and e-mail them?
      I'm working on a 1960's-70's NKP Berk from Rivarossi, and I need to get part numbers for some stuff that's missing.

    the locomotive held together by the string is a German V200 Class Diesel, these units were built in the 1950s and were designed to pull fast passenger trains. The V200 has reached a cult status within railfans over here in germany, it's sad to see the model in such a bad condition. the v200 actually fits the two silverfish passenger cars quite nicely.
    the white/orange electric locomotive class 111 is a german engine for commuter trains. they were built in the 1970s and 1980s and some of them are still in service. they also fit the silverfish cars quite nicely. you made a great catch with these models👍👍

    The british one is a GWR (great weston railway ) class 4073 (castle class ) some info is The 4073 Class or Castle class are 4-6-0 steam locomotives of the Great Western Railway, built between 1923 and 1950. They were designed by the railway's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett, for working the company's express passenger trains. They could reach speeds of up to 100 mph.
