The Conrail steamer is a fairly rare Mantua offering from around 1977-ish, right after Mantua took back over most of the older items from Tyco. It sort of copies an AHM offering, as both have that Penn Central style lettering. Your Lionel GP9, those are notorious for brittle plastic truck frames - you go to pop them loose and the tab breaks. If possible I wouldn't even try to open them. I did the same thing a couple months ago, I went through an antique mall near Canandaigua NY. Lots of trains, some bargains, some hilariously overpriced. I did find one bargain on a Gilbert HO car.

I bought a F unit Chessie system locomotive by Tyco in 1977 for 14.00 U S dollars brand new. I ran it til it wore out. I kept the shell. Recently I went to a Local Train show and bought an Athearn blue box F unit. I was able to put the Chessie shell on it. Love how it looks. One of my favorite locomotives now. Love the show. Thanks so much.

Glad you enjoyed your trip, Harrison, and great to see that your hobby shop visit included two interesting locomotives for future repair videos. Given that four of our train club members have caught Covid, looks like any new videos you post will be my train fix for this week.

@williammcgeehan34242 жыл бұрын
Chessie System did have one, and only one locomotive in the all gold paint scheme. It was GP40-2 GM-50 numbered GM-50 to commemorate General Motors 50th Anniversary. The GP-7s snd GP-9s of Baltimore & Ohio and Chesapeake & Ohio wore enchantment blue with imitation gold ( yellow ) lettering or full Chessie System colors. If not for the very heavy support from Cheese System in 1972 the EMD GP40 -2 would have been a relatively poor selling diesel model.

that Baby Ruth boxcar was Tyco's answer to the AHM Burlington gondola steam chuff car. the GP was a fantasy livery based off Chessie Systems #GM50, a GP40 with that one off gold paint job as IIRC that locomotive was scheduled to roll out completed on EMD's 50th anniversary.

First thing I did to my TYCO Chessie F9A was swap some black bogie frames onto it from a Santa Fe F9A. The grey bogie frames got a coat of Testors rubbing metallizer before I put them on the Santa Fe loco. Made both locos look a lot more like the real thing.

Hello from Kentucky! Last year my Son bought a hoard house to clean, remodel and rent!. In the basement upon a top shelf I found the unopened Lionel HO set with the gold Chessie Locomotive. Full set with track, transformer, accessories and rolling stock and a Crane. My intention is to build a small layout for my Grandson aptly named Harrison. My older brother's layout and paint scheme became the Paducah and Louisville Railroad in real life! Featured years ago in Trains Magazine! Love your skills, knowledge and videos! Thanks!
