Hi Gary, Excellent haul! The Lionel engines, train cars, transformers, blister packs and accessories are well worth your money --- (2 are postwar 6464 boxcars). The gray Marx 1666 steam engine / sound of power tender is a good catch. The HO engines also have some good value. When you get finished all of the engines / cars will look great and run perfectly.
The HO GG1 looks like it's a Penn Line. Never owned one, but they're supposed to be pretty nice. The HO budd car is an athearn with the "Hi-F" drive that uses elastic bands to transmit torque to the wheels. Those two identical diesels are based on a German prototype, and the manufacturer is marked on them, Lima. The Milwaukee B unit would be an Athearn too, the 0-6-0 chassis looks like Rivarossi, and the trolley/interurban car is probably Bowser. The 2-8-2 steamer is a Mantua product. Noticed some of the O gauge cars you got in your lot match some cars I got in a lot, which ended up all going to a set- 1473WS. Had a 2046 hudson, 2046W tender, 3464 boxcar, 6465 tank car, 6520 searchlight car, and 6357 illuminated caboose with no smokestack. I could tell I had a set because I had all the cars, and all of them had features that lined up with 1950 production. Check and see if the operating boxcar has door guide rivets with a flat head, and if the cars have staple end trucks.
Well Gary if the HO scale stuff isn't spoken for or you are going to resale it I'm interested in it . Awesome find you have some great stuff there in all of it
From your comments it sounds like this stuff with be resale. The only good stuff I see worth anything are the two powered Alco’s. Too bad the 1666 is screwed with. Rail cars might average $5 - $8 apiece between good ones and junk at shows. All the HO stuff worthless to me, no interest. But there is a buyer for almost anything. Could be surprise profit. Recoup the $80 and making money may take time and effort.
You make some very interesting morning trips. Again a great find!
Great video
Hello Gary, we can never have enough Trains they say! Thank You Happy Railroading!
