I Purchased an Estate H.O. Train Collection! Plus a Quick Tour of a Killer "O" Gauge Collection. 

That Was AWESOME, it was really great to be a part of this one! This was a lot of fun and made for a very entertaining weekend. Thank you so much for making space in my garage!

One of the things I like about your channel is you always give me a good laugh. You also seem to prefer Chevrolets. 😊 And you like Trains. 😁 Thank You for making my day.

Ron. . . . you're a mad man!! Can't wait to see the layout in the bus.

That was TOO COOL! I had an opportunity to do the same thing about a year ago. A good friend of mine had a whole estate collection given to him and he called me to come pick what I wanted....so I did. I ended up with about 400 pieces of cars, locos, books, etc... to go along with my collection. Tell Dave I do Rock Island too but it is in HO....

33%-er here, I'm on Sensor Overload. Between you and Dave, Dave collection, and all of those TRAINs. WOW!

Wow! I like it when peoples trains are handed to others who will keep making sure they find their way into other model railway hobbiests ……another great video!..always makes my Day when I get to watch them..thanks!…

Looks like a great collection! Lots and lots of stuff. That old bus converted into an RV is awesome. I want to see more of that. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ron, Wow, thanks for taking us along. It was nice of local Dave to let you cherry pick ....all of them..lol, love it! Great score. Very entertaining video. Looking forward to seeing how you set up your bus. Thanks to local Dave for sharing his collection, looks good. Maybe the wax drinks were left overs from the 20's 🤣. Glad to be in the 33%ers club.

That's an awesome tour bus Ron. Can't wait to see what you do with these trains. Thanks for another great video

I don't think I've ever seen that much HO rolling stock in one place before. What a nice haul. I've been working on scratch building a barn in O scale. It's almost finished, still have to install my beer can corrugated steel roof & weather the roof. Barn was weathered as I built it by using an emery board and sanding the faces of each board before installing. Cheers from eastern TN

Super. It's not often that I see something that I would like to have running on my railroad, but most of the rolling stock would fit right in on my pike, even if I don't have enough track to set them all on the rails. (Yet.) Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Wife, "Where have you been? You were gone all day." Ron, "Uhhh, just over at a friends house talking about trains."

That steam engine you found two hours in, looks like it's either a Tri Ang, or a Hornby, Caledonia single. A British passenger locomotive from the late 1800's. Did you find the tender to go with it? I ask because I think it was a tender drive, similar to the Tyco Chattanooga, but a good deal better quality. Good luck with the cleaning and sales, as it looks like a great haul. BTW as a kid I used to throw the whole wax bottle in my mouth, and chew like gum, and the juice made the wax taste better. Also you'd get all the juice out ,and not waste any flavoring.

The blue Great Northern piggyback is EVERYTHING!

Enjoyed your video. I would have too, but I think I would just have tasted with my tongue. I can relate a bit. I recently viewed a widow's husbands' collection of a former (low budget) museum/attraction in the town I live in. Predominately S with American Flyer but had a little of all scales. I thought to help her to connect with an option to sell or find new homes but find little local interest and it's all just too overwhelming for me to think about. I would love to check out every piece that is in that collection, but it would just turn into me caring and worrying about the future of every piece.

O scale or no scale. 😎👍💯 pă-tōe-mick 🤭 Cool Lionel and Marx tour. Good luck with the HO sales. I like your future traveling layout/repair shop. 💯

Thanks Dave for taking me along!

The smooth side RF&P cars are IHC (International Hobbies Corp.) who took over where AHM left off when AHM folded.

It's like finding gold. Really nice haul.

Thank you for sharing. Daves collection, nice👍 Your new collection, nice👍

Love the bus!

Love your channel Ron. I've been watching loyally ever since I discovered it. I to model and repair HO, HOn3, O, and On30. I'd like to put in a plug for Norman Corey's channel for those that enjoy modifying, bashing, and repairing HO loco's. He has some neat vids but subscriber count is low. Let's help Norman out a little by mentioning him on your next vid. I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Thanks Ron. ( P.S. I'm a 33%er.)🥰🤗

That was really fun to watch. Really enjoyed the tour of the Lionel stuff.

Thanks Ron, always interesting and entertaining vlog, your tenacity and patience working on locomotives is unmatched, plus you are one hell of a nice guy, never change Sir, regards, respect, Joe

I love those old Athearn piggybacks myself . And the Athearn 40’ boxcars

The shepherd was following you lol

Nice O gauge collection. I had to pretend I didn't see all that HO stuff. LOL. I have way too much. Love the video.

I too have bought an estate of train stuff. It’s a big task to go through all of that. Thanks for another great video.

I gotta use Dave’s quote at my next club meet. Love the videos Ron

Gorgeous coach. Definitely look into the Train Show as a venue for selling your freight cars. Try to hang onto the passenger cars. They look great. Good luck.

Dave’s got a Great Dj Voice he’d be great spinning Rock on a local FM Rock Radio Station

Well I’m re-energized…lots packed into this video…someone commented on your love of Chevys AND trains…that’s all the essential groups covered…look forward to the next adventure…cheers…

Another great video, Christmas has come early for you, I have an American cap, got it from amazon, your mate from across the pond pete, oh great music,

Awesome haul Ron. I hope you do well selling them.

Wow! That is an almost overwhelming haul but you will have fun looking through it!

Love following along on your train adventures! Great video!

I love your square body truck. 2:31

That's awesome

Another great video and love your tour bus. Looks like you'll be having a busy summer. 33%

There's nothing like going thru estate stuff. A lot of times, those old boys had the cool stuff.🚂🇨🇦🇺🇲🙋

Awesome stuff

Popular in the 1960's. Nice collection of rail stuff.

That’s What Model Railroading is All About.

What’s under the hood of that pickup? It sounds really good.

The start of your video of you driving your Chevy...One thing I miss about my last 69 was that squeak you push in the clutch pedal.

Terrific video, Ron. I don't know where you get all the energy.

Fantastic find. Good luck with everything!.

Love that truck!

Nice variation from the Ho stuff. I don't have any O scale myself, but it's interesting to see how the other half lives! Great video content and presentation. Thanks.

Awesome video as always. O guage Dave's collection is phenomenal. . The chromes and those coppers were stunning. . That purchase is going to keep you busy for a looooong time 😉😂. . ✌️

I said it before and say it again love the channel ❤😊

Congratulations Ron! That’s awesome!

I am in Orangeburg SC who will like the Southern railway equipment.

Impressive, Ron! Good luck with your store!!

Very cool. It's awesome and you look like you're having fun. Love being a 33% ter....lol

AWESOME!!!!! Keep up the good work.

I don’t remember many engines. I’m assuming nothing brass, either? Dave’s sets were freakin’ awesome. When he gets a layout ready, you need to do another video at Dave’s house.

I'll have a booth set up in Helena, MT selling my dads collection. All ho scale. Also we'll have his "Idaho Wallace Depot" He built from scratch that was featured in Model Railroad Magazine. Hand built by Walt Blatherwick. If you've seen it!

Righteous bus, Ron!

Great vid! Can't wait to see what you do.

Lotta good rolling stock there, I wouldn't mind having all that, but I already have so much stuff now, with no where to store it all.....

OMG! What a collection of railcars! And you bought ‘em all! So now yer gonna be a traveling HO model train hobby shop! What a deal. What a concept. You could set up a schedule and travel the northern Great Plains buying, selling and repairing HO trains during the pleasant months. No need to have a fixed “brick and mortar” location if you enjoy traveling. And I don’t know about model train swap shows in your area, but if you had the notion you could schedule stops at them as well. Maybe Missus Ron would like to travel along with you and help out or see the sights. Kinda wish I could help you out with all those railcars but my ‘Road is pretty much established with motive power, rolling stock, non-revenue equipment, and passenger equipment. I just have no need for more equipment than I already have for my (imaginary) region of the country and on-line customers. But best wishes to you and your future endeavors!

I like what you found. Did you find any locomotives?

Wow!

A massive estate? I am foaming at the mouth, and am also reminded of one a co-worker's in-law left behind. It was a massive collection of O-scale, probably approaching a thousand pieces of locomotives and rolling stock. Easy six figures worth of stuff. I pray for the day I can be in your kind of position, Ron, with the dream collection for me being 80s/90s-era Conrail stuff.

Caladonia Railway Scotland Stirling Single there beside the power supply. Beautiful loco if you have the tender.

nice haul! i know the feeling. gotta have all of em! hey that bus is large enough to build a full size layout in! or a mobile train store?

WOW what a haul! Congrats Ron! Will be looking for things on the eBay! Take care!

Why us it that your gravel drive looks so smooth and nice, not rutted and gutted? Is is that the gravel always look better on the other side of the video camera? Or do you have a tractor with a rake and all those kind of fun toys? Looks nice!

Another great video Ron. I am a Blue Box nut, hope to see those on your EBay store. Take care, Jeff.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO. 🇺🇸

Unbelievable collection Ron I'd be interested in the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac passenger cars. They would look awesome behind my Spectrum 4-8-2. Great video Ron love it.

Has local Dave thought about a career in radio? He’s got the voice for it lol. Looks like he’s got a great O gauge collection going on and you definitely should go check his layout out when he gets one up. Great looking collection of HO you guys came to an agreement on. While I’m not really into HO myself, I do enjoy your videos and I’ve learned a thing or two about the smaller scales since. Oh and yes I’m a 33%er.

I just put two clear 7x9 LED firetruck lights on the rear of my 38 foot Winnebago so I can see to back up at night.😎

Great haul and great video! Also nice bus!

As the New Englander I am am familiar whe The flying Yankee and I remember seeing the real one sitting in disrepair Edaville Railroad in Carver Massachusetts when I was a child in the late 80s early 90s.

Great video Ron! Hope you can make good money selling them!

Insane. I'd kill to have that many freight cars, especially the PC ones.

Another great video Ron, especially the opening with the sound of your wonderful V8. I was also amused that the only close up of a loco was the Caledonian Single Wheeler. With all due respect to raymondleggs5508 below however, it is not a Stirling Single. All the best, Gordon

Awesome pickup love you too brother 33%er for life 👊

That's a lot of HO rolling stock. Grats!

Wow - I thought I had a lot of trains ... that dude was a train hoarder. Back when you could buy blue box rolling stock for like $3.50/ea ... now they want $25-30. Insane. Good luck selling. I got to thin out my stuff. Enjoyed the video - thanks.

That’s a great collection, but I didn’t see any locomotives. Did they sell those off already? A lot of good stuff. Looking forward to future posts showing inventory progress. Dave’s O scale collection is awesome too!

The SBC sound so good....That bus - Ron's Rolling Railroad Roadshow

Bro ‼️ You bought it ALL

You're gonna need a bigger train cabin! Love your channel Ron!

Fantastic video I have a ho scale rivorossi 464 I think it only for display I have lots of tyco manuals lifelike and am model trains I'm keeping on my layout

Thats crazy that you have a old tour bus like that! You should do a DJ scene for an intro sometime. That'll be a great attention grabber haha. Good luck with your many ventures!

Great Haul there Ron and love the bus 👌

Let us know if or when you put things up for sale on the ole eBay, many of us out here will help you out by purchasing train items from you. You did it once before I know of. Your a busy dude, but hey as long as it makes a person happy or a little scratch, what the heck eh. Nice show Ron...

nice good for you

I do like the silver and blue and gray passenger car set in HO scale you have . How much would you sell the passenger car set for?

I’m with Dave it’s 0 scale or no scale 😂

Ron, I'll take all the Chessie hoppers. All of them. You don't even need to clean them, I'll take them as-is. How do I do the...the contact thing...how's that happen?

I have the Lionel helicopter in HO . It still flys.

I need som good HO rolling stock.. keep me posted where yall sell this. Need to get some for a good deal!!

Awesome collection mate , but the one thing i really love is the sound of your ute , what's under the bonnet mate , regards 33% Marc😎😎😎😎😎😎

Nice score.

At 2:39, that is a Triang-Hornby, Caledonian Railway, 4-4-2, no.123. Catalogue number, R.553. Designed by Neilson and Drummond in 1886, it is preserved at the Glasgow museum of transport. The model should have a small, 6 wheel tender and has been released in Caly blue, L.M.S. red and L.M.S. unlined black. Loco driven with the Mk.5 XT60 type motor. What a haul! Should keep you out of trouble....Why isn't Local Dave doing voice-over work, locally to start, then, maybe, National Dave!

Great video. I would be interested in the great northern passenger cars.
