Welcome back to another Cadence's Rail Yard haul! One of my customers sold me his entire HO collection a few days ago, and in this video, we'll dive in and see exactly what I bought! Check out my train stores at cadencesrailyard.com
The green Chessie System box car is a Maintenance of Way (MOW) car. The Chessie System used this green color for their MOW equipment on the rail cars like boxcars, gondolas, and passenger cars.
Super. Bachmann GE BQ23-7. B trucks, quarters cab, 2,300 horsepower, dash 7 locomotive. P.S. All of the wood sheathed reefers "wood" look nice on my railroad, and I like that yellow and red Brill Trolley, as it matches my Mantua/Tyco trolley. 💙 T.E.N.
The British Railways engine is a rebuilt London Midland Scottish Patriot class #45528. Designed by Stanier it was built in April 1933 at Derby, originally as LMS #5996 then changed to 5528 in 1934. Classed as 6P and lined-out for passenger trains (but also classed as 5XP (1931-50) & 6P5F (1951-65)) they mainly worked trains on the West Coast mainline. In 1960 it was named 'R.E.M.E' (Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers) like many of the other 51 engines in carrying British Army Regiment titles. #45528 was scrapped in Jan 1963. None of the 52 engines were saved for preservation, but there is the work on the LMS Patriot-Project which is building a 'new-build'-copy of the last built Patriot #5551, which has already been named 'The Unknown Warrior'.
Those are mehano shunters, the undecorated blue one might have been Croatian railway or a SNCF french loco that had its lettering rubbed off, The burlngton Northern alco is also mehano.
Centrelivre vrewing company in fort wayne Indiana sent beer to the dining car steward of nickel plate road, the beer was a hit and so was born nickel plate beer. Lots of history behind that brewery and they had several brews. Good video and its because of you i learned about a beer i never heard of.
you said that you want someone to help you with the british engines, and im here for just that, my boy the British 4-6-0 locomotive at 6:50 is a rebuilt royal scot class from the London, Midland, and Scottish railway and the Sir Francis Drake locomotive is a lord nelson class 4-6-0 from the southern railway (the UK one)
The door's on top of the refee beer car's was used opened up to put ice in them at the freight yards along the way in order to keep the beer cold back in the day before refer car's had refrigerated car's indivialy. And before beer car's was done away with. And made illegal to use.
Ah yes, the BQ23-7s, known to fans as "Aegis Cruisers" due to their cabs' similarities to the forecastles of the then-new _Ticonderoga_ class cruisers (which mounted the AEGIS combat system to blow up incoming missiles). The Q-cabs were meant to replace the caboose by having some basic crew facilities beneath the actual cab, but the concept didn't quite pan out the way General Electric or the Family Lines had hoped. 10 were built. None survive. A shame, really. Even if I'm not an SCL fanatic (Conrail for me, baby), even I recognize that these are unique and peculiar pieces of equipment.
I have nineteen dummy locomotives on my railroad, and I have never purchased any unpowered dummy locomotives ever. Every dummy loco was made from damaged or broken (Dropped, wrecked, or burned up.) old school motorized locos that I bought brand new, and includes seven Tyco Powertorque locomotives and two Bachmann locomotives, including my GE 44 tonner, which burned out both of the motors recently. I bet nobody on the planet has a dummy GE 44 tonner switcher in operation. (Temporarily, I hope) AHM, Life-Like, Rivarossi, Lionel, and IHC make up the rest. On some, you can remove the gears and disconnect the wires to the motor, and just a few will require removal of the motor or drivetrain. All of my dummies got diode directional headlights, class lights, marker lights, new detail parts, couplers, extra weight, and window glass, and most are so old and well used that they have a nice patina on the paint job that makes them look very realistic. 💙 T.E.N.
How much did you pay for that collection. My husband recently passed away and I have a collection 10 times that amount. Most are new and in the original boxes. Most were unused. Also many many buildings and scenery still in boxes new. I was thinking of selling the collection but need to know what money I'm talking about. My husband told me I could sell his collection when he died and I could pay off the house. So I know it's not cheap
