Local Train Buddy Dave Purchased a HUGE estate collection of HO's and invited me over to look it over and do some cherry picking before he decides to put it up for sale. Also a quick tour of Dave's AWESOME 3 rail O gauge collection.

  • Wife, "Where have you been? You were gone all day." Ron, "Uhhh, just over at a friends house talking about trains."
  • @dah2nd
    That Was AWESOME, it was really great to be a part of this one! This was a lot of fun and made for a very entertaining weekend. Thank you so much for making space in my garage!
  • Ron. . . . you're a mad man!! Can't wait to see the layout in the bus.
  • @willamcombs1106
    One of the things I like about your channel is you always give me a good laugh. You also seem to prefer Chevrolets. 😊 And you like Trains. 😁 Thank You for making my day.
  • 33%-er here, I'm on Sensor Overload. Between you and Dave, Dave collection, and all of those TRAINs. WOW!
  • @ironwolfusa
    That was TOO COOL! I had an opportunity to do the same thing about a year ago. A good friend of mine had a whole estate collection given to him and he called me to come pick what I wanted....so I did. I ended up with about 400 pieces of cars, locos, books, etc... to go along with my collection. Tell Dave I do Rock Island too but it is in HO....
  • Wow! I like it when peoples trains are handed to others who will keep making sure they find their way into other model railway hobbiests ……another great video!..always makes my Day when I get to watch them..thanks!…

    I don't think I've ever seen that much HO rolling stock in one place before. What a nice haul. I've been working on scratch building a barn in O scale. It's almost finished, still have to install my beer can corrugated steel roof & weather the roof. Barn was weathered as I built it by using an emery board and sanding the faces of each board before installing. Cheers from eastern TN
  • Hi Ron, Wow, thanks for taking us along. It was nice of local Dave to let you cherry pick ....all of them..lol, love it! Great score. Very entertaining video. Looking forward to seeing how you set up your bus. Thanks to local Dave for sharing his collection, looks good. Maybe the wax drinks were left overs from the 20's 🤣. Glad to be in the 33%ers club.
  • @johnbanicki7232
    Looks like a great collection! Lots and lots of stuff. That old bus converted into an RV is awesome. I want to see more of that. Thanks for sharing.
  • @tracynation2820
    Super. It's not often that I see something that I would like to have running on my railroad, but most of the rolling stock would fit right in on my pike, even if I don't have enough track to set them all on the rails. (Yet.) Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
  • That steam engine you found two hours in, looks like it's either a Tri Ang, or a Hornby, Caledonia single. A British passenger locomotive from the late 1800's. Did you find the tender to go with it? I ask because I think it was a tender drive, similar to the Tyco Chattanooga, but a good deal better quality. Good luck with the cleaning and sales, as it looks like a great haul. BTW as a kid I used to throw the whole wax bottle in my mouth, and chew like gum, and the juice made the wax taste better. Also you'd get all the juice out ,and not waste any flavoring.

    The blue Great Northern piggyback is EVERYTHING!

    Dave’s got a Great Dj Voice he’d be great spinning Rock on a local FM Rock Radio Station
  • O scale or no scale. 😎👍💯 pă-tōe-mick 🤭 Cool Lionel and Marx tour. Good luck with the HO sales. I like your future traveling layout/repair shop. 💯
  • @elsdp-4560
    Thank you for sharing. Daves collection, nice👍 Your new collection, nice👍
  • @nscalefun
    AWESOME!!!!! Keep up the good work.
  • @voltagefreak6350
    Love your channel Ron. I've been watching loyally ever since I discovered it. I to model and repair HO, HOn3, O, and On30. I'd like to put in a plug for Norman Corey's channel for those that enjoy modifying, bashing, and repairing HO loco's. He has some neat vids but subscriber count is low. Let's help Norman out a little by mentioning him on your next vid. I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Thanks Ron. ( P.S. I'm a 33%er.)🥰🤗
  • @UrMomsChauffer
    That's an awesome tour bus Ron. Can't wait to see what you do with these trains. Thanks for another great video
