[@WhatTheHales]

Did you play with model trains growing up? Hale$ YES or Hale$ NO If you liked this video, then you'll LOVE this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXmVXn95hcp9orc

[@JayKFilmz]

Hales yes

[@sherriemyles2776]

Hales Yes.

[@theresawilson2647]

Hales yes. My father collected trains and had a whole town set up. He had some old trains as he was born in 1928 and started collecting when he was young. They are still at my mothers house. There are some beautiful Lionel trains. In perfect condition. There are so many trains and accessories.

[@garyn3213]

Hale$ yes I played with them and still have them over 50 yrs now

[@thelittlefamilyadventures2406]

Hale$ YES

[@cindyrichards2214]

I think that this person worked for the Railroad. He must have started young and worked his whole life. He must have taken pictures across the country. This holds a special place in my heart because my mom worked for the railroad here in Texas. Thanks for memories.

[@bobbucher8641]

Hales yes I have a Marx 666 engine set My daughter and I would go to train shows and she would deal for parts and we had a set up in our basement This brings make good memories I lost her last year she was 17 thank you for the memories God bless you

[@saltyspirateden]

This is a gold mine. I'm only 20 minutes in and have already seen many items that I have sold in the past for far more than you paid for the whole unit, CongaRatz !!! Well done ! PS, 027 or 0 are generally much pricier than HO (half O gauge)

[@patriciaherman6499]

My great great grandfather was a Conductor for the Railroad in the late 1800"s -1920's in Rochester NY.

[@leahcaswell2020]

Yes as a train enthusiast i was going crazy but i was able to remain somewhat sane! But all this reminded me of my Dad when he would introduce me to people he would call me "The Caboose" because i was his last child. I loved that memory!

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

I played with my younger brother many years ago lol. Jeremy when you said the train was a work of art you were spot on. Mum took us on trains and they were steam, they were wonderful and had a sound and smell all their own. As you can tell I an older than your Mum George, I really enjoyed watching this blast from the past. Take care my friends Mary-Ellen UK

[@lisahopwood5098]

My grandfather was an engineer on the railroad in western Maryland area , which he retired from ! He had thousands of photos of old train s and memorabilia! Brings back many fond memories of him ! Thank you for sharing!

[@joycelowden7623]

I rode my first cross-country train at age 6. I have loved train ever since. Thanks for sharing.

[@maryb4796]

Hales yes! Had a whole table set up in the basement with HO and bigger trains. Later on incorporated slot cars in it too! My brother and I spent hours. Yes, the bigger engine puffed steam and tooted it’s horn. Had mountains, trees, and buildings. Oh to be young again. I was born in 1956.

[@troytaylor1985]

Jeremy you should try a train museum or a historical society for the train items and the military books. They will be your best bet on what the value of it will be. Good luck.

[@MrBean5268]

@5:40, reminded me of the book 'the boxcar children'. Was a great book!!! Read it in 7th grade, should read it again... was a long time ago.

[@pandapearl385]

A Bible that is falling apart is a sign of a life that's not.

[@stephentuckfield4425]

Love all the train memorabilia...there will be lots of interest in these items.

[@jefferyblack3838]

Never played with a model train growing up. Can't wait for the rest of this unboxing

[@jeanettedenson6264]

I have a neighbor who is from Egypt and he told me that a lot of our board games are there but are played a little different.. I have learned a lot about Egypt his mom visited and cooked food omg the food is so good.. love all the old photos..

[@casstelles]

As someone who deals with model trains, most of the HO scale and Lionel trains are in fair condition. People will still buy these items for parts, but they will not command top dollar due to their condition. If the models were stored better, the items could see better prices. As far as the books and photographs, they will make better money on Ebay. Railroad enthusiasts are always looking for these items to purchase. The final item of the magazines may not sell as well as the books and photographs. Many times at train shows, these types of magazines are given away due to low interest, but I did see a few 1930s Model Railroader magazines in the video. These may sell due to the fact the Model Railroader magazine was started in the 1930s.

[@unclecrog]

Jeremy, I think this is the first time I have actually heard awe in your voice. You honestly seemed amazed by all the train collectables.

[@allanmccallum1434]

LMAO!!! Cut away from the sausage but toward George. 7:48

[@beccasmama63]

Sheldon Cooper's trains. LOL

[@Docmiller4425]

That boxcar turned into a house was something that actually happened. My stepdad grew up in an old boxcar that was turned into a house. That was neat to see.

[@janettolzda5481]

The movie derailed was actually mostly filmed in Bellaire, Ohio and Martins Ferry, Ohio . Belmont County! My husband got his train for his first Christmas in 1948.. We have it displayed on our mantel, with all the original boxes. Yes it still works too. His is American Flyer! Great find there Hales! I shared to to Willie Brown's FB wall.. He is an engineer today driving trains!

[@gracesmith1995]

I’m from Hornell where the Erie railroad was the economic growth main employer in the city. Hornell use to have the repair shops for the company and where the main lines split either going to buffalo or to Cleveland.

[@EndofAmerica2030]

I'd buy that Hong Kong electric train set with the Sante Fe caboose as it's exactly like I used to see in real life as a kid in elementary school in the 1980's when I lived on the Sante Fe railroad in La Plata, Missouri. I used to walk the tracks from town to go fishing at the Sante Fe lake and would always wave at the caboose guys wearing blue. Such was the culture of the 20th century and earlier. The 21st century is unlike any time in the history as we lost our culture, custums, and humanity like how we used to all wave and say, 'Hi,' to one another in friendly spirit. The detail in all those plastic toys is amazing as you don't see anything like that today indicating a deep level of sincerety, passion, and patriotism.

[@thelittlefamilyadventures2406]

Love the train car house

[@paulanull8731]

16:12 Notice how the plastic spiral binders on these books are stacked opposite each other. That way the books stay absolutely flat and retain the value of the books. I am so impressed that he knew that. I am now thinking this guy may have shopped and bought collections but also found items in sales on his own. The preservation speaks to a real collector. You have hit a jackpot again Hales. Oh, my train when I was a tiny ankle bitter came with a jar of tablets you dropped in one at a time to make smoke. Too cool. Since the train sets seem to have multiple sizes of track that could be very important too. The one you are looking at in 19:11 appears to be a narrow track due to the length to size width and size of train and cars. Might be wrong of course but whatever. Oh this is fun.

[@nancyloomis3046]

If you have not already, I would think about taking the best of the all the railroad stuff, including the books/soft covers that are in very good condition and that are very likely all out of print, along with the train photos to a SPECIALTY AUCTION HOUSE.There is much of this that a high-end collector would pay 💰 a LOT for or that a RAILROAD MUSEUM might be very interested in. ANTIQUES ROAD SHOW would definitely be interested, but are finished with their touring for this year. It would make a very good feature segment. You never know. Whatever you do, DO NOT USE A LOCAL AUCTION HOUSE. Go for the specialty pros for sure.

[@rachaelleann9847]

Ohhh nice trains. I have a complete set like that w tracks to. And a thing to push for a horn sound . It's awesome

[@maddieadams75]

Nice train collection and military items. ♥️

[@troyspomer1098]

Omg that is one Hale$ of a find!!

[@roseotter384]

Obviously this storage unit belonged to Sheldon Cooper! 🤗😄

[@willamcombs1106]

At 27:35, the #8304 Locomotive 4-4-2, if that is the Original set of Locomotive, cars, track and Transformer is worth between $150.00- $200.00. If you had the original Box, worth double that. Check the #'s online to see if it's a complete Lionel Factory set on the Lionel Home Page. You might find the Box on E-bay or something, not sure of price for that but if cheap enough, might be worth it to increase the resale value. Scored again!

[@heathermorgan5950]

Cha-Ching! Have Mother George on one of these times!

[@atsfevan0242]

I'd so love to have those old Lionel train stuff

[@_LifeOfKimberly_]

CHOO CHOO!!!!!

[@deborahhaywoodkintigh3205]

Awesome find!

[@debthatcher7605]

6:48. What the Hales.....you threw out that vintage leaf. Everything sells on EBay. LOL

[@tejudge5377]

this looks almost like a house that we cleaned out. The bibles and trains and old photos and books if yuu find old tube radios and turn tables and stamp collection with a bonus of a shirley temple doll i would fall off chair!

[@pamlabarr7043]

That's awesome there is alot of train lovers here in Up State NY 💖

[@davidminshew6117]

THE train movie with Washington was UNSTOPPIBLE

[@susanb8589]

Wow, those pictures look amazing!

[@kendallreeves5665]

Blue jackets Manuel is for Bosin mates.

[@cynglo100]

21:29 The guy with the moose is the original L.L. Bean.

[@kendallreeves5665]

I served 11 years in the United States Navy and I have a blue jackets Manuel from 1970. I would not take a thousand dollar bill for it.

[@barryhohman195]

My goodness Jeremy you need to play Monopoly with George! I think she would like the game!

[@testermanrono]

I grew up on the Maryland &Pennsylvania Line, the train track that ran thru our town was the Ma & Pa Railroad, A family bought the old Train Depot and Feed Station, and turned it into a fantastic home for themselves.

[@DollzDolly]

I love selling train sets. They sell for good money and all depends on whether or not they are a complete set, most of the time you will find they sell better individually then as a set.

[@scottshelton6791]

I can't wait till you put up the rest of this incredible unit

[@rickhuygens9303]

Only Jeremy could turn a train locker into a food challenge!! You know he likes to “choo choo”!! 😂😂

[@Akkhon369]

Never had any of my own but I did play with my dad's trains they were so beautiful

[@gracie2298]

The photographs in the books that are secured by black triangles in the corners are from the 1940’s & 1950’s. The glue that was used then is almost impossible to remove today. Google train clubs for your area. Also, how about showcasing this on your local t.v. You will have rail-fans willing to help you. Even today there are railroad enthusiasts who make it a point to be at a crossing and they document this. You have found someone’s lifelong hobby and I know you will honor these finds.

[@tumbi100]

You Guys, Have hit the jackpot,25,ooo notes.so far.

[@mschelleh67]

I did not, but my grandpa Jack Crockett (may he R.I.P.)had quite the train room & setup! He was an avid Collector!! Anyway, no one in our immediate family carried on the tradition😪😢, I wanted to steer you towards an Antique "Shower"...please try to get some direction from the "Antique's Road Show" producers. They could put you in touch with an affiliate who has the expertise!! I love watching this show. You have some treasures!!!!!❤😁💕

[@tangomoggy]

The newspaper clipping dated 1915 is antique...as are the Bible and book dated 1909...!

[@vibranthorror8992]

Awesome find

[@kaydaladycountry2762]

Lot of those pictures can be worth a lot to the right collector. My late husband was into that real bad also motorcycles good luck

[@noniehayes6050]

You know it! They are worth alot of money!$$$

[@6BadBitch9]

U two definitely hit a gold mine with this unit. So awesome

[@sallywally2011]

Any train enthusiasts will go bananas if you put this lot for auction the papers alone mucho dinero , cash , wonga call it what you want you have hit the mother load guys I’ve got one train set I keep for my nephew in box untouched from the 60s alone worth 190 gbp now stuff you have heaven only knows tell us later when you sold it all good video again and thanks

[@allanwilkerson6426]

Don't know if new Monopoly game has B&O Railroad in it...but when I was growing up in the 60's....the railroad on Monopoly boards was Reading Railroad out of Reading, Pa.

[@rockydavies9555]

wow incredible nice buy guys

[@nyjohn12]

The box of books at the beginning of the video was packed wrong. The way we see them (spine of book - up) will cause the spine to break and the pages will loosen.

[@lylesmith1949]

But that's why they were alternated in the box. No spine on spine. Jeremy just put them back in wrong.🤓

[@lunatic6419]

I ran an antiquarian book shop and art gallery for years, Theres a good amount of money in the train books, I'd price the more modern ones around 15 to 20 dollars. The pamphlets about 10 to 30 dollars. My advice for the photographs would be to put in a specialist auction. That's a quick valuation on what I could see

[@nanachick05]

Ok, now I feel officially old...George your Mom is 3 years younger than me...crying now! :-( I love all the railroad stuff, what a wonderful find. A lot of that stuff reminds me of the train stuff my brother had in the 70’s, thinking it may be from that era, just a guess.

[@beccasmama63]

never heard of Erie Railroad in Monopoly. LOL

[@miguelcotrich7139]

Wow that’s awesome great stuff in that unit lots of old school trains stuff another great find blessings to you and your family always and keep sending those great videos 👍👍

[@FREEDOM-sd9my]

I BET YOU HAVE CLOSE IF NOT MORE THAN $50,000 IN RAILROAD , THE MAGAZINES AND PHOTOS. GOOD LUCK

[@hestheMaster]

As a train buff and collector this is a tremendous find! Much of it is well before my time ;so this ex WWII Navy man may have been the father of those two kids whose photos were shown earlier in the video. Lots of pre and post WWII train mags and mostly steam era . The Lionel stuff is however from mid 1950s to late 1970s. The HO scale stuff and buildings too are from the late 1960s to late 1970s. About those black and white photos, they sell from $2 to $10 EACH on EBAY !!! Good haul Hale$ !

[@MarkHossNorthwestrcclub]

WOW!! This unit is a GOLDMINE 🥰🙂👍🏻 I played with trains as a kid, and my Father is a collecter/builder of model railways, over here in the UK it's mostly Hornby, but I do know that the Lionel train stuff sells for strong money 🙂 You do really need several experts with that stuff, Model builders, Paper collectors, Photo experts, Book experts, It's unlikely you'll find someone that is 100% confident with everything in that collection it's that comprehensive 🙂👍🏻 Looking forward to what else is to follow out of the unit 🙂 Keep up the fantastic work guys 👍🏻 Stat safe, All the best, Mark 🙂👍🏻 🕉

[@michaelbennett3792]

I just love trains

[@susanarrington9371]

Omg watching this brought back my grandfathers collections we lost in 2 hurricanes... thx for wearing gloves

[@keithkb7zpb688]

Wow that is so awesome George I was born in 1961 lol. Awesome railroad history peace

[@deekrebs592]

I can guarantee you that there are numerous model train clubs in Ohio!!! My father sits on the boad of 2 train clubs down in the Pheonix area. There is a HUGE model train meeting once a year. They move it all over the the United States. I know your local club would love to help you out.

[@lorenehamman3325]

You have a gold mind in trainmobila

[@TinaLouise528]

Specialty appraisers maybe. Museum of history?

[@southernhippie9058]

Wasn't allowed to have trains as a kid because my mother thought they were a boy's toy so I would go to my cousin's house and play with his. I have them now though and still love playing with them,

[@nemesis851_]

Find the right market, the whole collection TOGETHER is likely worth more, then parting pieces out. Research a NATIONAL train 🚂 hobbiest Group

[@RedRiverRedNeck309]

You have someones life from working on the railroad. Maybe even a long family of people who worked on the rails.

[@beckyhensley2785]

YA ,ALL SCORED !!!!! $$$$$$!!!!!!!

[@SBQDawn]

there is a Railroad museum in Worthington OH bet they can help might have enough left in purchase budget for some of those items

[@aubergineonline2561]

you need to do a classic storage wars and find an expert appraiser and do another vid ....

[@dodgydruid]

The hard to find Hornby "real steam" OO/HO loco's fetch insane money if you find one, they are actually real micro steam locos.

[@telletran]

Heathkit is a build it yourself electronics company. That project is one of many projects you could build back in the day. It literally was a kit of electronic parts that you built and tested according to that manual. I made a few radios a while back. Old manuals might be worth something.

[@cindyhoelderle4223]

I know about trains from my brother who has passed. My nephew could be real intreated in all of this if not contact the Ohio fair grounds. They have a huge train club and they are loony over trains. Wow you found gold GOLD GOLD MY MA AND WOOOMAN‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗

[@inhishonorinfinityx3961]

3 things...starts out :13 at George looking her very best. now don't get ur pants in a bind, rewind n don't get me wrong handsome Jer, just had to say kindness for all those who thought it as well too. 2nd, progresses at 20:42 Jer states "It's not a country....It's collectability." then immediately George asks "cld I do the honor?". Jeremy replies "just stay away from my package" What a hoot and haney. (betcha Jeremy never said those words to her before ima guessing...lol) think I totally tooted guyzz when I relaughed, rewatching that clip 😅😂 and 3rd, finally final thoughts...if ppl are not interested in trains or history b4, bet cha they are now. pics takes u back when life was hard but simple, at a refinements best. can't go back in time, but old pics n items cld be your only tour. thanks for the video u 2. very much enjoyed this today 😍 N as always, infinite blessings 🙏

[@kraftykajun4749]

Choo choo all the way to the bank!!!

[@Akkhon369]

Jeremy a lot of people who worked for the railroad back in the days are mostly the ones who save stuff like that and there are lots of train museums all over the country or used to be anyhow you should check into museums of the Erie and the other ones you named off cause if there are museums for the train companies they might buy it from you

[@bobbyc0117]

The age of steam roundhouse museum in Sugar creek might be a place to get some leads on the raildroadania!

[@Shelbywilltalk]

I'm originally from Erie PEnnsylvania and I remember when I was little I would see guys parked along the railroad tracks by General Electric waiting for the steam engines to roll by and they would be out by the tracks taking pictures. I often wondered how they knew when to be there. now I know

[@sandymcinalty8427]

INCREDIBLE FIND!!!!

[@starwaterfield53]

In Spencer, NC there is a transportation museum where they have very early trains andnrestore them as well

[@McAVITYourWay.]

@ 09:15, you said "nothing!" but it is actually a picture of a train deep in a tunnel :)

[@hankfacer7098]

One word, AWESOME

[@timanderson9115]

This is a typical collection of a model railroader for the time period. The magazines were subscriptions. To get a better education look up your local model railroad club. The Bulletin is a membership magazine from the National Model Railroad Association. Model Railroad magazine started in 1934. There are Lional Valuation Books although looking at past sales on eBay may also help.

[@cynglo100]

24:00 The letter is from NATTCen (Naval Air Technical Training Center) Probably NAS Jax (Jacksonville) I don;t believe NAS Memphis was NATTC yet. If it was from the early 1940's, the poor guy probably got back to base late after tying one on the night before and missed muster. With WW2 going on, everything was taken very seriously. Looks like he had to muster with the OOD (Officer of the Day) at those times on those days.

[@Kristen0816]

Awesome Train finds my late Grandfather George and 3 great uncles and great Grandfather all worked for the B&O Railroad, and my step grandmother years ago found my grandfathers old Gilbert American Flyer train that he bought off an old co-worker in the late 50s-early 60s I would never sell the train but just the caboose for the Gilbert American Flyer train that was my late grandfathers is worth $600-800 just by itself.

[@Docmiller4425]

You have a great unit there with all of the train stuff. Great job on it. Keep the adventures coming!

[@HUSTLERS1]

Good money

[@troyspomer1098]

If you are selling the train book about Colorado trains. I would be interested in it. I grew up in Colorado in the summers riding all the steam trains. And my Dad grew up there. It would make a Awesome gift

[@junkthisunitnow]

I still have train set

[@nemesis851_]

From 27:00 on, that’s the stuff I had EXACTLY that unit, as a kid. Yes, the locomotive was heavy
