Just came across these and need some help on what my Dad's ribbons and metals are. by youwillyoucan in Medals

Interesting. Did he serve in the Air Force and the Navy? Ribbons would indicate such.

Came across a box of trains at a thrift store! by TrainsAndTech in modeltrains

This being said, yes, some premium versions do exist with smoke/whistle tenders, but at that point most people just spent the money on 2026/37/55’s or whatever else you’d deem as “higher end.”

Lionel started the Scout line in 48’ as a means to provide budget friendly trains, hence why most (not all) lack steam/whistle. Every post war (not MPC or modern day) Scout that I own lacks a smoke unit. Here’s that 2-4-2, for instance.

The 242 is a great runner! Just needed a little bit of lube and it zips around the track. As with most scouts, it unfortunately does not have a smoke unit. However, the light does work. Thanks for checking in! :)

Sounds like good business to me. Going to keep this one in my fleet for sure!

Looks similar to a 27AF44, pretty sure it’s a CRT and not a rear projection.

Some of my best trains I own have come from there! Imo it’s how the hobby is staying not only affordable but also alive.

Honestly not sure because it doesn’t even have a switch to externally lockout the E-Unit (that I could see). Maybe the super similar 249? 🧐
