MEGA Lot Of Vintage eBay Locomotives - Lets See What Works!

Around a year ago I found this massive lot of around 30 vintage locomotives while browsing eBay. I was quite interested in purchasing this one so I placed several bids and ended up winning the auction.
According to the seller very few of these locomotives were supposed to be in working order so it took some testing to figure out the condition of everything. Fortunately despite some of them being in disrepair, most seem to be powered models.
I hope fix to up and get as many back on track as possible. The majority showed signs of being repairable so the potential is certainly there.

I always enjoy an SMT Mainline unboxing of random locos. I actually kind of envy Harrison a little bit because he manages to get the kind of old models that I would like to own.

The front of the boiler is the smokebox door. Also, that CN FM C-Liner with all wheel drive is a later AHM model. And the life like high hood is a GP38-2

Also, the Bachmann BN GP30 was a retooled Lionel BN GP30 (only difference being the top of the locomotive painted gray on Bachmann's); considering that someone told me Lionel sold their 1970s-80s HO Scale toolings to Bachmann

Thank you for getting me back into old model trains. I've never had a proper layout or the space for one, but your videos have gotten me into repairing old locomotives, especially those old Varney steam engines. I absolutely love the look and feel of the old die cast metal, the simple design of the drive, as well as the incredibly intricate valve gear. I've gone from none to 2 of their locomotives within a month with a third one on it's way! I always look forward to your repair videos, especially when you're working on those old die cast ones. Keep up the good work!

Hey Harrison, you got some nice vintage locomotives in that lot. I had quite a few of those same locomotives when I was a teenager many many moons ago. I sold them all to a collector over 30 years ago and used the money to invest in some blue box Athearn diesels. 3 Family Lines SD 40-2s (2 powered and a dummy) and 4 Santa Fe GP35s (2 powered and 2 dummies) both sets with matching bay window cabooses. I eventually sold them to a different collector and bought some Broadway Limited SD40-2 locomotives in Burlington Northern with DCC and Sound with a matching caboose of course. That was about 18 years ago. I now have 22 DCC Sound equipped locomotives and 8 DCC only locomotives all in Santa Fe paint schemes with 12 matching cabooses. I don't run trains without cabooses. And I have 165 freight cars and the complete Super Chief passenger train. I'm currently in the process of designing a layout for a 14 x14 spare bedroom. Sorry, I know this is a long comment. I really enjoy watching your videos, especially the unboxings and when you work on the locomotives and bring them back to life.

My favorite of that lot is that little Erie 0-6-0 steam switcher. Been looking for a little steam switcher model loco to go with my 'early 20th century Buffalo, NY waterfront' backdrop on my setup, complete with large reprint black & white photos of the 'Great Northern' elevator (now sadly gone) and the 'grain elevator row' along the Buffalo River. Whoever had that collection previously apparently really liked the 'cab body' type locos. Nice haul.

Harrison that up f unit with the all-wheel drive, isn't a 70's era model, it's a late 1990's model, I have one from when I got it in a train set for my fourth birthday. granted mine has seen better days and is awaiting repairs much like that one.

Out of all those units, the BL2 and C-Liners are the most interesting. The BL2 had a chequered career, being unreliable/hard to service for mainline service, and really awkward for branchline ("BL") service. C-Liners ran everywhere, but they were again unreliable and thus got cornered into specific regions where the last ones standing usually had the working parts out of their sisters. On the subject of "boxes of trains", I have recently dived into N scale, both to operate as a narrow gauge quarry line alongside my HO trains, and to run mainline trains on their own just for fun. I'm sourcing N scale parts as well, just as I did for my HO scale collection. I was impressed when I saw first-hand how much the quality of N scale equipment has improved/refined over time.

Two large fans is a gp38, three large fans is a gp40, and two large fans with a small fan in between is either a gp35 or a gp30. These are all b truck diesels. they have c truck models of these as well. I love your repair videos
