- This must be the best venue for a train show!
Elgin County Railway Museum hosted it's first Model Train Show within the actual museum. Venders were sandwiched between full sized restored Steam Locomotives and Passengers cars.
And I got some of the best bargains I've ever seen.

Sleepers are usually near the end of the train and the little black wheels you found in that kit are hand brake wheels. They mount on the ends of the cars.
The chessie is an AHM car. The two ice reefers and CRM car are Atheran cars
Continental is P2K, Potash is Athearn, and the UP is a Front range car, I believe.
Not sure if anyone commented, your Kato with no DB means no Dynamic Brakes. There are no fan grills on the roof in the center section where the Dynamic Brakes should be.. They also usually flare out the roof at the sides where they go too.
I believe you have either Athearn or Atlas locos where the top middle section of the roof pops off. Thats the dynamic or no dynamic brakes.
First thing check the gears. Proto 1000/2000 are notoriously a problem with cracked gears
The wire on the E9 is to open the doors.
😅Mr Scott, the yellow box car with Canadain Modeler is a Canadian Model railroaded Magazine. The magazine is not published any more. The magazine had articles that highlight Canadain rail roads. Mike.
The wire is to help you open the tiny doors
The yellow 40’ boxcar was for a Canadian model train magazine called Canadian Railway Modeller. It no longer exists but was a great little magazine while it lasted.
Kato SD40-2's are my favorite locos.
The Mogul needs some small freight cars, and a combine/baggage/caboose car for mixed train service. The cars you have go better with an American 4-4-0 type engine, from the 1890's. The Mogul works for 1920's-1930's shortline trains
Told you we would watch... That New York Central train is breathtaking!
Oh on your Atlas Yellow box SD Santa Fe loco. The air tanks are put on the roof to allow for larger fuel tanks. Air horns are put almost anywhere on a loco.
The blue gold car with the big door, would work well for mixed train service.
The SD24 will require offset kadee couplers. They are good runners, just watch the truck clip over the gearboxes.
Also yes the hot wheels fed ex truck may be bang on check a person beside the doors
What a great haul. It's hard to pick the best one, but the CP Dash-9 with the decoder would be the best due to the price.
Yeah, that was an actual steal. I thin the motor and shafts have been swapped out for something newer. The shafts are very skinny compared to every other Athearn BB I have.
@@ScottRails Pretty sure, Dave, that the dash9 is RTR by Athearn. A newer release than the older BB one. The BB dash 9s were badly inaccurate around the front windscreen, & the RTR models have the upgraded drivetrain. Athearn copied the Kato drivetrain & called the hex driveline, hence the skinny driveshafts.The flywheels have a hexaginal recess in the ends, just like the Katos. Still has the later style BB motor but with a circuit board & DCC ready, oh & has factory wired head/tailights. A Kato motor would pretty much drop into those driveshafts but mounting the Kato motor to the chassis would be a little more tricky.You will notice that the truck sideframes are different to most dash 9s That is correct for the CP Dash 9s. Just more usefull information. Cheers Michael NZ
26:51 - You need to provide your people with warm clothes for the snow 🙂
I'm sure they'll warm up when they are running from the bears and wolves.
Fantastic deals Dave! Those walthers coaches for $10 a piece is an absolute steal, it looks great behind the E8!
FYI: “Without DB” is referring to the dynamic brakes, which your SD40-2 model does not have. If it did you’d normally see that vent that is typically along the middle of the locomotive, right above the CN logo in this instance
Ahhh, thanks for that.
Well done Dave
Out here in Houston tx we have both fedex vans and that’s how they look side by side
Great haul from the St Thomas show, Dave.
Fantastic bargains 👍
Thanks for sharing i liek all the trains
NYC train is really handsome!
With out DB means none Dynamic Braked locomotive. It doesn't have the blister in the middle of the hood.....
A nice haul, All i have to say is its very impressive.
The P2K's are power hogs because of the diode pack to run the mars light and headlight
Great haul Dave. BTW SD's have 6 wheel trucks and GP's have 4 wheel trucks. There are actually some NYC E units still around. I saw one last year in West Virginia and another in Elkhart Indiana and maybe even some more floating around. E units had 2 prime movers inside. I did some work on Louisville & Nashville E 6 # 770 for a while.
I sense a tune up Tuesday coming.
Yeah, I just can't decide which one to do first.
Going to the Arnprior train show this Saturday. Hope I find as many deals as you did and see Fares Please.
Awesome video and great buys!! For your 20th Century Limited, remember that with the twin unit dining car, the kitchen car should always [per NYC operating rules] be placed behind the table car. Prevents kitchen smells from rolling back into the seating area. If you have a single unit diner, the kitchen end is also to the rear. As for your older cars the sleepers can be placed behind the diner, so that coach passengers don't walk through the sleepers to get to dinner. Actually as long as the diner separates the coach passengers from the sleeping car passengers, it doesn't matter whether they're behind the loco - Besides, your RPO and baggage cars will be immediately behind the loco. Enjoy them and have fun!!!!
The Proto UP E8 goodies bag has the wire is for the door opening and closing. The gray panels are the front pilot coupler box covers, and the little wire like things are the manual coupler release handles. All covered in the instructions.
The atlas SD24s are hard to kill so that makes them good locos
Those Old Classic Passenger Cars Are Good to Buy In N Scale And Ho.
Well Dave, you step in it and come out of it with a gold shoe. Great video must have taken a considerate amount of time to put together. I haven't purchased a Kato as yet but after your recommendation and watching them run I'm won over. Did you here that Kato, remember it's Scott Rails in Canada, lol. Perfect video, Jersey Bill.
Turn on the ditch lights
The prices at your train shows in Ontario are WAY better than in the Maritimes.
Looks like a bunch of nice items from the train show. Thanks for sharing.
Nice haul Dave. The NYC collection does look the dogs danglies. Not one for passenger trains but see you're finally getting into the good stuff in my opinion the AC4400 ( CP #8533 ) and SD40s. Btw Ill be sending you an email soon.
You officially have an addiction! Welcome to the club!! bahahahahah I would hate to see how much you would spend at the Boeing Train Show here in St. Louis, MO on September 7th. Prices would be half or less of what you just paid.
Well they say the first step to recovery, is knowing you are an addict. It will be a very long road I feel, lol.
@@ScottRails I am still not there...................NOT EVEN HALF WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A set of ABBA E9's are pretty. The headlights don't work on the Kato.
Yeah, I opened it up and both leds are without power. Fix is coming soon.
Great finds Dave!. The 34' Overton coaches are a really nice find, as they are no longer made,but still can be found here and there. I know someone that made a set into a Doodle bug using an old Athearn BB switcher chassis and some scratch built detail parts as well, matching trailer coaches. I think i have a pic or two of them i could post on the FB page?.
Would love to see that Rebel.
@@ScottRails Ok,will do!.
Perhaps the railroad cars with both metal and plastic wheels are done on propose. Maybe the metal wheels have resistors on them for block detection. Try putting an ohm meter across one wheel set. I would love to know if I am right. Thanks I am Supertraindude
That's some technical wizardry right there. I'll have a look.
Now You have to Find Out what you have for Engines And Rolling Stock Then Go from There on Out Elsewise.
Heres a thought for that nice little 4-6-0 my brother and I are partway through doing( again your engine isnt a perfect match (neither is ours btw)) but in almost every tv.sgow...movie etc Hollywood has used 1 steam engine Sierra r.r.#3 everything from high noon petticoat junction...up to back to the future 3 and it's a cute 4-6-0 so I have printed and painted an h.o. scale delorean and proper smokestack and done some repaint of engine.....but if ya paint those coaches a flat green you would also be pretty close
Bargains! The the NY set, stunning! That Atlas SD24 is a Roco version that came out of Austria! And they are just noisy. They were pretty amazing for their time with a nice can motor and fly wheels, but that was a long time ago. I have the exact same chassis. Let us know if you manage to improve it somewhat!
Having a B unit would perhaps be greedy but if you can, go for it!
Hi Dave, You got some good buy's that round, I look forward to seeing them run soon. Thanks for the viewing off them.
You got some real nice bargins there Dave. Thanks for sharing the loot
another great bag of bargain goodies
Good score Dave.
Tge steam engine looks great.
What a cheap DCC loco.
You got some real deals.
Awesome.
Happy Modelling
Great prices for all your items and a great haul of great stuff Dave...
What a great haul! Love all the UP stuff!
It's an E9
Hi Dave. I saw you at a far at the show but didn't get a chance to come say hello as I was waiting for the wife. Looks like you made a good haul though.
Yes, it was awesome.
If And When You decide to Change Wheels From Plastic to Metal Go 33 Inch Wheels And You’ll Love it When You do it.
I have a few Hopper Car C&O 604725 Chessie System Knuckle Yellow, 2 drop and a Freight Car 484795 C&O Knuckle Blue, Chessie System , if possibly interested?
I Look at It This Way When The Wife Gets to Turn Ya Loose on a Train Show look At it This Way she Knows Where You are At And Goin To a Train Show And Not At Some Stupid Bar.went to a Train Show Without My Wife Felt kinda Weird But she Knew Where I was At All Good.
Are you interested in any more auto rack cars, they are too long for my railroad and not interested in any on my layout.
I'm interested, but wifey is demanding a Go Train Loco, so I need to save for that first.
@@ScottRails I can send you some pics.
When Goin To Train Shows Everything and Anything Goes and Yes You Have The Right to Become Traintarded at All Train Shows when Doin Your home work Before the Show The Real Trick Is to get what you Did Your homework For.
$83.99 Canadian is about $62.99 US, Dave, you Goober. US prices are always less, because our dollar is worth more,lol. Nice haul, Dave. Virginian and Truckee is a California Railroad, I think, Dave.
To be fair that depends on the exchange rate. There have been many times the canadian dollar was worth more then the usd throughout my life
@@The_Duggler25 It has not been in decades! Your point is moot.
