Auction buy - MTH Overton passenger cars - easy to work on 

You have good taste Brad 😁 Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks Steve. While doing my research for the video I found so many neat paint jobs for these cars that I never knew about. Just more things to add to my wishlist

Thank you very much. If you have any video ideas, let me know.

Keep an eye out for them. My research shows MTH cataloged Overton cars for several years.

Thanks James. The longer I am actively in the O-gauge hobby the more I am seeing that K-line put out some really neat stuff. I'm still an MTH fanboy though

Thanks, the Lionel version is what got me interested in the General. I'm an MTH fan boy and got lucky when this one showed up for auction.

@@TooManyHobbiesJeremy yes I also have many MTH products and actually met Mike himself a few years ago 👍

Thanks! I really like the presidential car

Thanks! they really tie the train together 😁

I am very happy to have them. Major bonus that the couplers are good.

They cleaned up nicely, and they look so much better with all the lights working.

@@TooManyHobbiesJeremy absolutely

Must have been fun for the track crews 😳

Thanks, they are simple but cool.

Since you run conventional control, you are good. The issue comes when cars (in this example) are run on a command control layout where the track always has full voltage. That sends 18 volts to everything and shortens the life of these early style bulbs. With your Marx 12 volt system, you aren't running it at 100% I'm guessing. So if the bulb is too dim then you can certainly change it for a lower voltage one.
