$11 (5 Lionel MPC cars and a starter steam engine) - My cheapest auction purchase yet! 

I have that same engine I put a different motor in mine that has a larger armature, #8040-128, and a rubber traction tire. It runs superbly and pulls well too!! Thank you for sharing!!

Nice addition to your collection, and a terrific price too! I think that engine is going to be a pretty good runner after you do a full clean/lubrication on the motor and axels. I share your sentiment toward your JC Penney car. My first train set was purchased by my parents at the Sears store in Waukegan, Illinois. We would make a trip as a family to the store every other month or so and I would disappear to the toy department. Thanks for the video!

Very nice! That 8602 had many iterations, depending on the year. It came as a 2-4-0, a 2-4-2 and a 4-4-2 arrangement. It's a cool, little locomotive. It doesn't have too much pulling power, but it will do fine with those cars that you got with it. An excellent video, as always.

It's been a while since I've grilled anything, although a working grill helps. Nice set of cars there.

Nice work on that locomotive. I've done a few like that too. Enjoy that delicious lunch !

The JC Penny car is a gem. I like the Conrail car, But since I model the mid fifties the Conrail car wouldn’t work. I have two videos on the 8.5” box cars. Explains the post war cars and body types. And a second for the more modern ones. I enjoy your videos.

Nice additions!

What a great purchase! Be very wary of the hydrogen peroxide method. I know of many circumstances where that ends up with the plastic getting even worse.

I alway's learn a little from each unit thanks

Neat pieces Jeremy.

8602 &Rio Grande tender from the Black River Freight set .1976-78?

I knew it would run. Even if it was only one way at first.

Marx guy here, good purchase. Do you plan to eat all that in one sitting?

😊
