Antique Power Show - Richard W. Erickson Collection at Wallsburg Utah

Richard W. Erickson collected AMAZING STUFF. Mostly steam and gasoline-powered tractors, antique farm tractors and cars, amusement park rides including a steam train, vintage automobiles, and even old business buildings with full working interiors.
SO, let's dive in and check it out. Tractors and construction equipment. around one hundred pre-1910 tractors, some steam, and most early examples of gas-powered heavy equipment. And another one hundred or so static steam and gas-powered engines.
AND an entire village of early buildings. A Blacksmith, an auto shop, a print shop, a 1950's malt shop, a general store, and THE NORTH TEMPLE SHOE SHOP from Salt Lake City. It was moved from its original location on West North Temple where it stood for 100 years to Wallsburg, intact with every piece of Cobler equipment in working order!

🙏 Thank you

[@joellekarma]

my grandpa had a model T I use to drive it all the time when i was a kid. he also had a little ford tractor that also had throttle and timing on the steering wheel. Joy of growing up on a old farm.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I loved driving these. I had a 27 T pickup for years.

Beautiful Job on the Shoe Shop! Love it.!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Now back to the railroad. I’ve been making rock work outside and the big Cañón inside.

[@garyacker7388]

Thanks again guys for my weekly lift of your adventures. Karen's model of your grandfathers shoe is fantastic I don't think that you have shown that before. 😊

[@ToyManTelevision]

We did but I can’t remember when. Or what we called it… hum need to hunt files..

[@ToyManTelevision]

Found it!😊. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6rPmH59q9Kfn80si=2sn_od8zR6bOND9B

@@ToyManTelevision thanks, I do appreciate your time.

[@organbuilder272]

Loom and Bobbin - for the wiring. Many fine examples in the old mills in Lawrence mass with ACTIVE wiring even today.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yup!!! And lots of the old houses in this area, when you get up into the attics, there it is! Still in use! You never really see it, never in exposed use as you see it here in the museum, but in terms of wiring up in attics, it’s all over the place.

[@jeffbangkok]

Just home and our old dog is worn out and so am I. Save this for tomorrow. Good night

[@ToyManTelevision]

Good night!! Sleep well. We too are beat. Working all day yesterday on to do stuff around the house. Now on the to done list. But we are wracked. I was painting one of the lampposts and fell over backwards. Geeeezzzzz. Or geezer!! ARUG. Then we finished the whole thing off by taking the granddaughter to the zoo for the zoo lights! Sort of a Halloween tradition where they open the zoo at night and it’s all lit up with Halloween decorations! It’s super fun but now I feel like I fell down the hill in the front yard while painting the lamp post and then walked a mile and a half. Because that’s exactly what I did.

[@rrelectric5159]

Very interesting place. I am going to have to get a bigger bucket for my list so I can add this place to it!

[@ToyManTelevision]

You should!

[@tomas5376]

Wow! What a great place to visit! I’ve been to Antique Powerland in Brooks a couple of times. They both have a lot to offer. They still have shoe shops like the one in your video in Mexico! Gracias

[@ToyManTelevision]

Totally agree! Love the shoe shops!!

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Great vidio, again love the shoe shop as i was going to buy the business back in the 70's but soon figured out that everyone was buying cheap new shoes not fixing them uhhh.Thanks for the morning coffee...

[@ToyManTelevision]

Cobblers have joined tinkers and coopers in the land of no- one- does- that- anymore.

[@loispadgett6306]

What a great place to visit and to have buildings moved there and saved just adds to the great memorys from long ago. Like finding the old shoe shop or the one you thought had been taken down just awesome to see. Love the steam powered machines. Thanks for this adventure you are taking us on with you. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks again for watching. Stay safe. Bless you as well.

[@reddog-ex4dx]

I loved all that old machinery! Watching your video made me feel like I needed to go oil or lube something! Or I need some WD-40 to break loose a stuck bolt! I don't know why since I don't have anything that needs oil or lube. Nor do I have any stuck bolts! Thanks guys!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Coke works. Buy a cold coke. Dump It on the rusty bolt. Or as you say you don’t have a rusty bolt so drink the coke.

[@FunAtDisney]

This is so cool! We have a similar place here is Southern California in the city of Vista (located south of Camp Pendleton and in between Orange County and San Diego. It’s called the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum. Their collection is pretty large and it’s open every weekend and they also have a blacksmith shop and several other exhibits. The bonus is an N-scale model railroad club that is very impressive. They model basically the Feather River Route from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe areas. Once or twice a year they have a huge show (coming up Oct.21/22 & Oct. 28./29) where steam and gas powered tractors, etc. come from all over. They also do a knitting event called Fiber Fair.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Cool!!!! We need to check that out

[@tomklock568]

I'm probably least coordinated person when it comes to driving a stick shift etc...tried several cars on two continents and two sides of the road, just can't do it. So I'll never judge anyone on their ability to use a clutch. Thanks for the video. lots of cool stuff.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I love driving a stick. Just can’t do it anymore. I suppose I we travel to Great Britain 🇬🇧. Thing is my left leg has issues. Hard to lift it onto a clutch. But I think in Britain the clutch is still on the left… no matter.

[@robertweldon7909]

What a place for model ideas, all kinds of stuff. If your model railroad is from that ear, or maybe not even, the building and equipment would be super to recreate in scale. Is that your grand dad's actual shoe shop?

[@Rebel9668]

Love that little cleat-tracked John-Deere :) I grew up with a 1939 "A" model and 1941 "H" model John-Deere tractors on our farm. My knees are getting bad too, but I have discovered that kneepads like carpet installers wear help a bunch. No steam sawmills around me that I know of, but there is an undershot water wheel powered one about 45 minutes North of me at Spring Mill State Park that they operate on a regular basis along with the overshot water wheel that powers the gristmill beside it. I go there to buy stone-ground cornmeal, lol. When I was a kid one of our chainsaws looked very much like one of those two at 4:45. It was a bear to start and a bear to handle. No telling how old it was. It finally quit when I was about 16 as a piece of piston ring broke off inside it and tore up the cylinder head bad enough that it wasn't worth trying to fix afterwards. This show reminds me of one in Rushville, IN I used to go to. Lots of steam powered traction engines and hit & miss engines. They had a big threshing machine there that ran off a cloth belt attached to the flywheel of one of the steam engines there. Neat to watch for sure. Thanks for taking us along on another one of your amazing journeys. :D

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. There is a working steam sawmill in Oregon that’s like 150 years old and still jut a working sawmill. We’d love to see it but they don’t see the fascination. To them it’s just a working sawmill.

[@ToyManTelevision]

When I was young, there was a working ice plant next-door to get an industrial laundry, and the whole darn thing ran on three steam engines! Huge wooden water tanks on the roof of the laundry. We actually did a show about the laundry because it survived until about 1990 as I recall?

[@ToyManTelevision]

The section from heber to bridal veil falls is still a railway. The Heber Valley Railroad. They have two steam locomotives but neither run. And the section from Vivian Park to Bridal Veil is out of service but there is a plan for I reopen it. From the falls to Provo it’s a pathway. Old bridges are still in.

[@BrianHanscom0790]

Loved this episode 👍 Im 34 but I am confused what would the center R pedal be?? I know how to drive stick but he said it wasnt a common stick shift lol. Watching from Pahrump Nevada 🇺🇲

[@valeriebassett3107]

The middle pedal is Reverse. 😁

[@JacobHofeldt-fq6ii]

There's a museum in Montana called the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. They have a similar event called Forestry Days where they run all kinds of historic equipment and they have one of those old fashioned sawmill saws that they run with a restored Case steam tractor. They also have a Willamette locomotive that is being restored to operation and many other pieces of historic equipment.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Wow!!! That would be fun to see.

[@joellekarma]

you did awesome recreating your Grandpa's shoe shop. I love all the little details you did to create it. I so enjoys your shows. I hope you guys are able to get back to work on your G gauge and yout O narrow gauge layout.

I know how to drive a T, its very easy. .......by the way , those snow conversion kits for the T were very popular here in Northern Wisconsin

Did you check our video on it? There’s a link in the video.

[@mikediehl1468]

Hey there and good morning! Where is that Appalachian banjo music near the end of your video gotten from? It sounds perfectly rustic!😊

[@ToyManTelevision]

It’s library music. From SmartSound. I use it for everything. We should do a video on Smartsound. What they do is they take existing music tracks that they can get rights to, and then cut it up into measures. Sometimes half measures. But the beats structure is all broken out that way. Then the recordings that they get are the original recordings of the tracks separately. So in the case of that music, the banjo is on its own track, drums are on a different track and so on. So I can select say six bars from one section and connect that to five bars from another section, isolate the banjo, or just the banjo and bass or just the banjo and drums or whatever I want to do it. And there is the music track! It’s super fun and it gives me total control over what I’m doing with the music. I’ve been using this system for all kinds of projects now for almost 20 years. And over that amount of time I’ve purchased music from them, I’ve got hundreds of different pieces of music, probably paid around $3000 for it! But I just really love it.

[@Rebel9668]

Something I thought of to make the miniature thread for a miniature sewing machine is enamel wire like they use for transformer wiring in old radios. Just paint it white...or black and you can use it as power or telegraph line. :)

[@ToyManTelevision]

I also use stretchy elastic thread for power polls. Why? Well it looks okay BUT when on a model railroad you WILL catch your hand on it reaching in. And elastic forgives that. Wire and you rip your poles out! Break something. But elasticity helps. I should do.a show.

[@Rebel9668]

@@ToyManTelevision I wish my transformer wires were that tough, lol. Occasionally they'll be broken inside the clamshell of the transformer itself and I'll open it up and start praying that it's broken on one of the outer wires of the winding :) I have friends that have the patience to rewind antenna coils, transformers, etc. but I'm not one of them, lol. I once did make an inductively tuned antenna out of some dowel rods, a base, brass nails and about 20 yards of enamel wire and a variable capacitor, but I also sliced my fingers on the wire several times trying to pull it taut to look straight as I wound it around the nails on the crossed dowels. I should probably have made it from litz wire, but that stuff is expensive, lol.

[@royreynolds108]

There is a velocipede at 2:17.

"I"s the loco a Cagney?

[@ToyManTelevision]

I think so.. but couldn’t find out. It’s from a local amusement park. Or city park or? But a rich local history. I just don’t know what it is.

[@iblskeith]

Not a Cagney. There were a number of builders of amusement park locomotives. Cagney locomotives are bigger and have a distinctive style.

I have driven a planetary Xmission but ....

[@wkjeeping9053]

It's not cool the kids have turned into a museum up there. I have been going there when it was private shows since I was a little kid. He would be rolling in his grave what his kids did. The guy had a runway for a small plane and had another isolated property some were else. I won't say were. He actually has 3 steam locos 7.5 inch gauge. There is a massive motorcycle collection fully restored that has a lot of rare bikes.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Still though. We love it.
