First of, This is officially the farthest I have ever made it in the Christmas special in history. Second off this is a look at getting my set of Varney F7s back up and running. I had a heck of a time swapping out the zinc rotted parts with some good sourced ones I had. Glad this one is finally moving.

During 1991-1993 Tyco’s model trains began to become a thing of the past. They outsourced their production and shortly after cut model trains out of their market. Here are two of my sets from this short era.

In the mid 80s Bachmann produced a series of “tracksters”. These were often road vehicles that had been converted to hi-railers. I have been able to obtain 3 so far, here they are in all their glory.

American flyer, mainly known for their S gauge contributions, dipped into the HO market here and there. Later on they produced a few very unique and interesting action accessories. Here I showcase all 3 of mine, and demonstrate them in action.

In the Redbox era of Tyco, many are unaware of the smoking versions of some of the locomotives made at the time. The 0-4-0, 0-6-0, and 4-4-0 American were all made in a smoking version for 1962-63. Here’s my few examples.

    Thank you for the video. I’m new to the hobby and need a source for replacement brushes on this motor. Is there a source for the brushes? Perhaps a specific model of slot car, or other cheap train models that could be scavenged?

I’ll have to put some new bands in it and get it up and running. I’m doing a video in the next few days about my haul from the Amherst train show and I’ll include these both in the video as well.

    That is the exact locomotive I got for Christmas one year in the mid-eighties. I still have it, but it’s in parts…something malfunctioned at some point in the 90s. I believe I still have all of the parts…really need to dig it out and get it going again. That blue/green really pops!

    You might try DOT3 automotive brake fluid. I've been using it for better than 40 years with positive results, just let it soak and then scrub with a tooth brush.

Although it might not be all about trains, it is a fitting end. Also, a "Happy New Year": I look forward to future video(s) when you have time. Also, you can slow down the pace to focus on future projects about model railroad subjects or other things. Just don't burn yourself. (Hint: you can do weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly videos.)
