Among my grand collection of Tyco model pieces, is my equally as interesting service manual. These would have been given to Tyco service centers and used as reference guides.

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.

Here is a Quick Look at my Lionel HO Polar Express. I do like this model, but it has a lot of room for improvement in my opinion.

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.

Found! Tyco’s Elusive Union Pacific 2-8-0
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?
Hi Dan do you repair these engines for other people?
@@johnrooney8747 occasionally yes
@ I have 4 of them and they don’t work but I love the look of these engines! How much would you charge to repair them? Thank you
Dirty Dan..im sending the Loco to you on 1/29/25...on its way from Cranberry Twp, Pa.
@@billnethen thank you very much! I got both locomotives you sent me, the little diesel is an old athearn hustler that uses rubber bands to transfer the motors power to the wheels. 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.
Dirty Dan I have a Life Like G5 that I no longer want. Your welcome to it ...send me a comment if interested.
@@billnethen yeah the info for my PO Box is: Daniel Hauck P.O. Box 435 Oakmont PA 15139 You’re welcome to send it if you’d like, let me know if you do.
Dirty Dan...cool channel....i have a life like G5 that runs....your welcome to it if you want to send me your information.
WOO HOO !
COOL
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!
Somehowe I have 4 of the 0-8-0 Chattanooga Tender Drives now and I've just restored my first one! I posted it as a youtube short. Also enjoy another subscriber! These things were weird to me at first but they've kinda grown on me, and for $20 or less each, I can say I'm pretty satisfied lol I've got one # 1261 and three # 638s
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.
Dan, I’m impressed. I just got my Chattanooga 638 out of storage after 50 years. I have a young friend to give it to. I don’t know anything about repair, but I can’t get it to run. It looks great. Any tips? I’m getting 18v on my tracks.
@@DLW8209 it could be a number of different things, most likely just a seized motor. It’s hard to diagnose without really being able to get my hands on it.
Would you like to have a go at it?
@@DLW8209 If you’d be willing to send it out absolutely. I have a P.O. Box for this exact purpose. I can give you some of my contact info if you are genuinely interested.
I am
@ shoot me an email at danielhauck67@gmail.com, I’m happy to help you out.
What is the title of the song used in the intro
What is the site called?
Magyar nyelven nem lehetne?
Great video!! As far as the armature/commutator, mine is damaged. Any source for replacement? Not sure if the amx slot cars that use the pancake body are interchangeable.
@@chrispetri1456 honestly that I’m not sure of, if you need a replacement though your only option really is to find another motor with a good one.
I remember this commercial for Chattanooga choo choo. @ 2 minutes in it looks like one of the drivers is off the rail
Great job!!!! I have to start taking apart a bachmann Amtrak metroliner that I bought used off of eBay is getting power but the motor is not turning over so I have to take it completely apart and do a resto like what you did to your locomotive.... You gave great tips!
I don't remember seeing you clean the commentator
We have the same color channel locks .. lol
I found one for sale and I’m really hoping I win. I always wanted one of them since I saw your video a couple years back.
Dan, congratulations!! I'm so proud of you for finally getting the opportunity to finish the series in its entirety. I'm excited to see where 2025 and future years takes the future of the channel. Your content is always legendary. Happy New Year, Dan! Congratulations once again on your achievement. Safe travels into the future. 1:41 wild strabag sighting!!!
Awesome to see you finish it, loved all the vids!

Yo man you put so much effort into these videos
I'm one of the subscribers that who followed the series of the 31 episodes till the end. Congrats till the end for following through with your goal. 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.)
