That 2-10-0 is labeled ATSF but it's actually a Pennsy I1s prototype. The I1s was the largest and most powerful Decapod ever made and was instrumental during the drag freight era. They were known for riding hard, dirty in the cab, but powerful on flat land with about 4600 tons pulling power Trix was one of the few N scale manufacturers that actually produced a Pennsy prototype albeit low in detail. They produced a 2-10-0 I1s, a 4-6-2 K4, and a 0-6-0 B6sb model
It's also the wrong shell for the chassis as you can see by the fact the cylinders don't line up with the stack. They were made by taking the Minitrix K4 shell and mating it to a 2-10-0 chassis.
That yard Diesel with the front wheel missing they're easy to replace and get fixed specially anything bachmann since they have their own parts store but you can look on RU-vid there's a guy that does repairs on N scale for his channel you'll probably find big help but I can't take his name right off hand, just put in repair in the name of the locomotive and you should be able to find him Btw super jelly of this lot. You got me back into model trains but I don't have the space for Ho scale so I went n scale and I don't have much in my collection at the moment so seeing all these in one big box makes me so jelly that you got it even if some don't work, they could always be used as static displays on your layout like some trains are done in real life.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yzu-Xzlkrtg.htmlsi=-jclW4TvduoEztOM That's the video of the repair on the black yard switcher diesel locomotive. His is Santa fe but it's still the same on the inside as yours and mine
That switcher missing the truck is a SW1500 that ConCor contracted Kato to make the chassis for. Funny thing about it, if you pull the shell off of it you will see Rivarossi stamped inside, the original chassis were made by Rivarossi for Atlas. Good runners if you can find the truck for it.
@@pathvalleyrailroad9277 it really is. It took me forever to find the right type of bolt for mine from a lot I won, it had the screws and everything but the bolts where missing but boy when I found them and tested it out, it ran like it was brand new but I do find it funny that it was made by three different brands though. When I saw the riverrossi on it, I thought I had a Frankenstein custom locomotive at first lol
I love N scale as I have a lot of nostalgia for it, the first 2 model trains I remember running were a N scale 0-6-0 and a 4-4-0 Sadly neither work today but I do still have them Such a fun little scale of engine :)
Very good unboxing. I believe you are correct about the minor problems. Just a little TLC, they will be riding the rails once more. Very cool vid. From Texas.
Very nice lot, Harrison! I got a bit of a chuckle when the wheel went flying off the trolley, lol! Also, yes there is an HO version of the Model Railroader 50th anniversary boxcar, which is an Athearn blue box kit, which I have one.
Oooooo, more projects for you. Lookin forward to seeing the 1 min videos. I model HO scale but love all projects you do. Hope all is well with you, enjoy and have fun.
A conclusion I made from watching your videos is that, steam locomotives usually have a lower chance of starting compared to diesel/electric locomotives, as they usually have complicated motion on the outside that tends to seize up over time. This is especially true for n-scale. So many small parts, so many things that could easily get knocked out of place and stop working.
I have the N-Scale Jupiter train. Mine came from a thrift store I believe in a strange unmarked box. The set included the locomotive itself, a red and black gondola car, a green and yellow boxcar, the flatbed with the three weird orange cups on it that you got and the bobber caboose. All the cars are great but the engine stopped working a few months back. Just stopped suddenly and never moved again. Motor tries though, as it does get warm. The Locomotive you got, the three orange cups and the bobber caboose are probably all part of the same set. Edit: Now that I saw your whole haul, you see to have the complete set! I see the boxcar without wheels and the little red and black gondola.
@SMTMainline their late 80s early 90s stuff was of a pretty good quality. I used to run the ---- out of my old sets when I was a kid, and they would last forever. Granted, a few of them were life like sets to. I still have a working HO life like power brick. I might use it for some of the building lighting, but my point is that as many people who complain about them. When I was a kid, Bachmann and Tyco were good sets
The UP Mehano diesel is an RSD15. UP never had these, but that's par for the course in model railroading. The TLCX car is a PS-1 owned by Pullman's own leasing company. It was built as a demonstrator for the Compartmentizer system in 1960. It's the only 1:1 car so painted (although Bachmann has probably made millions of 'em by now).
One of the problems with the 4-4-0 might be that with the leading truck missing, most of the weight is balanced on the first drive axle. Because of that, the rear axle isn't being pressed against the rais, and so doesn't have as much traction. On top of that, a wheel can also have trouble with grip if _too_ much weight is on it, which is probably what caused the first axle to slip. Put those together, and you've got a locomotive that, although functional, can't move under its own power. I bet as soon as you reinstall a lead truck, that little guy will start rocketing down the line!
If I'm not mistaken, the Bachmann TGV Sud-Est was manufactured by Jouef, but sold under the Bachmann name, a full set is really neat, it does make me jealous of N scalers, their high speed trains are usually sold in complete sets (And if not, the addons are usually not hard to find), It's super hard to find addon coaches for H0 high speed trains (Lima, Jouef, Electrotren...)
Hi Harrison it is so great to see you getting new n scale stuff. I also wanted to tell you that i have a southern railways E7 AA set that is pretty much the same as the pennsy one but green
i think the little rolling stock with the orange "buckets" on them is a steel slag car, used in steel mills to dump excess steel slag from production and into a big pit of slag materials
It came in the set with the Jupiter. The containers were used for transporting water in order to fill water tanks along the line in excessively dry areas
Don't mention "Short" and model trains in the same sentence, LOL! Great haul - looking forward to seeing most of these locos go from the "Trying" category to the "Runner" category. I bet you have every part for them, too.
It's quite nice to see that you've got more N Scale equipment again. It's also a bit funny to still see the mail truck and greyhound bus I sent in almost 3 years ago still on the layout, maybe I need to send you another piece of mail soon. The one minute repairs sound interesting, and I've actually tried before, it's quite difficult to get a good repair video in a minute, and they didn't seem to do that great. Another bulk repair video or two might be cool.
@5:50 TLDX was Transport Leasing Corporation, a division of Pullman-Standard. DF was a system of restraining the load so it was less prone to damage enroute the letters stood for “Damage Free”
1:51 Red Ball Express Powered by a six volt lantern battery and ran on metal ribbons as opposed to actual rails, all "self contained" model train set, two "switches", bulkhead flats, caboose, gondola, siding and a turntable with roundhouse, and scenery... Early 1980's. John BC Canada "Red Ball Express" with a tiny switcher... Sounds like the "Newfie Bullet" "God blessed every creature that crawleth!"
I don't hold it against you that your primarily an HO guy, you're still my favorite channel but nice to see the occasional N scale. I'm just getting back into it after many years and those 2 Aurora Sante Fe switchers, I had them, I think they came in a 2 pack because I have 2 more with a Chessie livery. If I remember correctly when new they ran just like they ran on your table, fast, wobbly and derails easily. Just watching that half a lap brought back memories. I'd put them in the so bad they're good category.
I like them but as others have mentioned they might be intended to run on 6 volt lantern batteries which might explain why they run so quick on 15 volts.
The flat car with the three open vats could either be used to haul pickles (in which case it would need a cover), or it was an early way to haul crude oil (or water) before they made specific tank cars for that purpose. I’ve seen both cases modeled, so take your pick.
Great video! I went through a stage where I tried to replicate all my HO with N counterparts because of space issues. I always find the HOs the most satisfying for whatever reason. I also find that there are better offerings on eBay for N scale stuff, but I guess with eBay it’s going to change often enough. Anyway, keep the videos coming! Was curious if you’d ever coming to the states for Greenberg’s holiday train show. It’s fun to find the good deals, and the layouts during holiday time are usually much better than the spring show.
Forget thr PRR decapod. They were VERY rough riding and no one wanted to operate hem above 30 mph. "However, the large boiler limited the size of the driving wheels, which made it impossible to mount counterweights large enough to balance the piston thrusts. As a result, they were hard riding at anything but low speeds, prone to slipping, and unpopular with crews"
@@ROBERTNABORNEY-jx5il oh, cool little bit of history, thanks! I assumed they were somewhat smooth because they had more wheels and were able to absorb bumps better, but I stand corrected
From those of us old enough to remember, the jingle from the Hamm's Beer commercial: From the land of sky blue waters (waters), From the land of pines, lofty balsams, Comes the beer refreshing, Hamm's, the beer refreshing. Mmmm... Hamm's
Nice hall of "N" scale stuff. It is an advantage in both price and quantity when shopping the "Parts & Repair" section of Ebay. Knowing how to repair saves allot of money and is rewarding in the end. Hopefully a couple of steam locomotives can at least be restored to working order. I'm too old to repair "N" scale anymore but I still like it and have even used them as ornaments to decorate Christmas trees with the smaller cars and locos. Well, I'll be looking forward to any content this hall generates. Great video, Jersey Bill
I have an American N Gauge Box Car and Union Pacific caboose in my new N Gauge collection. Of course, my new oval of N Gauge track won't be in operation till November this year.
The RS-3 you said was KATO, could be an Atlas engine with a KATO drive. Atlas and Con-Cor used KATO drives in the 80's and 90's. Always good runners if taken care of.
Im afraid you missed a chessie system gold swicher so i look forward to seeing that engine in another video Sincerly, Heather PS:Thats my favorite engine.😅
I believe it was a small part of a huge marketing campaign in the 50s/60s as well as owning the Minnesota Twins. To make the beer a national brand from being regional.
