I used to restore post war Lionel accessories, locomotives and whistle tenders. Well built American made toys and still running strong. I just bought a Lionel Yard Master train set and love it.

I love all the postwar accessories! You have yours set up and working so smoothly which is a rare sight! Some of those takes I half wondered how many times you had to set/reset to get that perfect take but it looks like most were done the first time! Many times I’ve seen the log loaders spill logs everywhere BUT the car they’re supposed to be loading lol. Excellent video!

VERY COOL. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO OPERATE THESE ACCESSORIES ON/WITH LIONEL FASTRACK. THANK YOU

Some very clever accessories, but by crikey they’re noisy.. I understand the solenoids being noisy on ac, but why were their motors so loud?

I can smell the burning electrical connections by just watching.

Love seeing an old school setup work.. too bad many modern layouts are not cool as this one.

Loved it. This is what lionel is about to bad they don't make stuff like this any more

Nice

This is the BEST Lionel video I’ve ever seen. I have a few of these pieces and still enjoy them. What ind of track are you using?

This is the kind of stuff that got me into model trains in general. The trains themselves were enough, but seeing all the little accessories like these and seeing them operate give the layouts a certain personality and life you won't find easily.

Wow, probably the most unique toy train video. Nice to see all of our favorite accessories in operation!

Thank you for showing the milk car and receiving platform. Half of my milk containers went sideways too.

I had the cattle car but no cattle, my favorite was the side dump coal car

@11:53 How some ups employees do their job.

Wonderful job of putting it together!

Does this connect to another layout through the tunnel?

Do you have both ends of the trolley line wired to the 132 station? I'd considered that for the replica 1949 showroom layout I manage, but now that we have a 132 station as well as the tinplate staton at the opposite end, there is no need to use one circuit for two stops. I've also had an idea, for my own layout, not the 1949 showroom layout, to have a trolley car serve a stop station, have the trolley track by the station normally electrically dead, so the car stops at the station. Mainline train pulls in, stops, and just after the stop zone, use an insulated running rail to trip a relay and power on the normally dead section of trolley track, so trolley arrives ahead of train, and has a layover for passengers until the train departs.

The Lionel toy train accessories simulate work in the real world. A kid would have fun with the gravel loader or the magnetic crane loading scrap into a gondola car but if you told him he had to sit there and do that for 8 hours a day 5 days a week then he would learn how soul-killing working really is.

I love the old electric noises they make

What is the name of the locomotive?

Man that is NICE!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS COOL SETUP!!!!

Awesome🤩

Great demo thanks. Gives me a little extra enthusiasm to get on with mine.

Awesome

Some of this stuff sounds like barbershop razors

I’d definitely seen a lot of this stuff in my I Love Toy Trains DVDs.

I had a water tower, uncoupler, transfer former with a whistle.

I love your post-war accessories I have the coal loader, coal ramp, and milk cars myself

This brings me back as a child when I would hear the Electricity run on this model trains and accessories

Very 😎🆒️

Without a doubt, the smoothest operation of any postwar Lionel accessories on KZbin. Not an easy task, as some are quite unreliable due to improper placement, maintenance, and leveling. Nice how you added the ringing bell sound to the original crossing signal.

11:55 Making deliveries the FedEx way.

How did you get these post-war accessories to operate using modern track? Atlas or Gargraves?

Very cool layout & the accessories are great!

Thanks for the video. Browsing eBay to add one of these

Impressive Railroad. Cool Railroad equipment. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE FROM OVER SEAS UNITED STATES 🇺🇸

Amazing every piece looks like it works and was bought brand new. Great collection

Impressive ,Lionel made great toys in its peak years,but where's a caboose??

I am so glad to see this. Great job! It's impressive to see so many accessories in one place, and in such nice shape. Bravo Zulu!

Awsum 🚂

Very kool 🚂❤️

Very nice

Did the Barrel Loader come with the metal piece that enables the barrels to land on the platform without falling between the car and the loader? I've had mine since 1956 and don't recall seeing it. Perhaps it came with the barrel car, I found mine at a train show in the 1980s. BTW I have nothing but problems with the cattle car and corral. The sponge rubber has disintegrated on both units. I wore out the magnet crane switch box so I made a new one using toggle switches and a metal project box. Nice to see the coal units operating!

These younger model railroaders must not know that in the days of steam freight trains had caboose as the tail end car.

Nice layout.🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞

Just subscribed, it's good to see more of this hobby. I've got a transfer table, but didn't realize how it works until I saw your video. I know now I was missing the track it glides on, perpendicular to the 3-rail tracks. The tunnel was a surprise, quite the houdini hat trick.

Another sweet video

Very nice! Always cool to see one of those transfer tables in action. How difficult was it isolating the sections where the locomotives could independently run onto the table or did you put the E unit in neutral?

Nice. You have them all working really well, and your driving is really good, lining them up on the first try. Congrats!
