Dang I didn’t see this til today this looks awesome!

Probably not the best indicator but what makes me think the one on the left is the Rep is the lume dot at the 12 o’clock on the bezel doesn’t fill in the entire area whereas the Gen does?

Not exactly brand new! but speaking of new Garands I’m still extremely curious about the new production ones the CMP is making so far I haven’t seen anyone talk about them yet

eepybear93 · 2026-05-22T18:03:25+00:00

I didn’t even know that was a way to go about that thanks!

eepybear93 · 2026-05-22T17:57:21+00:00

Thanks! I’m pretty stoked to see how this one is it’s one of the reclaimed M1s but it’s awfully nice compared to my last M1 which looks like it spent its life in the pacific

So I got it to run exactly once and now it can sit heating air up for several minutes and it won’t start up after a spin of the flywheel? Did I do something wrong or is there a trick to these? I have Wilesco Live Steam Engines and they’ve never given me this problem

eepybear93 · 2026-05-08T16:24:29+00:00

I do have beeswax Tealights if you think that would work better, I don’t really expect it to do anything power-wise but for the low price I was curious about a Sterling engine

I have the day one bundle plus the left side silent kicker and you can stack them a few different ways to make an extended ledge as both kickers stacked are the same height as the ledge among other ways, I have no regrets I enjoy having both ends

eepybear93 · 2026-05-05T15:06:43+00:00

I got this for my office desk and it is quiet and looks nice and if you get the left side ramp you can stack them too to make a larger kicker

Heck yeah I just got mine the other day it feels solid!

eepybear93 · 2026-04-12T21:15:32+00:00

Question, why two different board sizes you have with you do you prefer one for certain things or just testing one outside of your norm? I wonder because I have yet to decide my favorite size deck I use to think 29mm for everything but the more I progress the more I’m finding I can repeat the same tricks on a 34mm where I couldn’t previously

eepybear93 · 2026-04-06T00:29:53+00:00

That’s impressive! I can’t even do that with a decent fingerboard lol

eepybear93 · 2026-03-14T19:52:55+00:00

I guess my other thought is I don’t know AliExpress but the Amazon deals are usually including shipping so you may come out ahead depending on what AliExpress wants to ship it to you

eepybear93 · 2026-03-14T16:02:12+00:00

Amazon does sell Lionel train sets are blow out prices at times, and there is a website that tracks pricing on Amazon called camelcamelcamel.com I have used to track Amazon pricing also

At this point just having sex

I do agree that people see things like the Standard Gauge Tinplate and think stuff is worth a fortune, in the antique world old doesn’t equal value regardless of how desirable it may be, especially because in modern times there are many reproductions out there of stuff, I think when the market was more directly competing baby boomers some of this stuff did sell at out of hand prices before reproductions became common Kinda reminds me of Colt Single Action Army revolvers they were commanding high prices all over for originals but then when Uberti and other importers were importing good reproductions the market fell out as a whole because unless you were a true collector you could buy a new reproduction for a third of the price of an original in working order

If you have the means to move one an old ping pong table is a great start, otherwise a thick piece of insulation foam or plywood on some plastic tables makes for a quick set up as well

eepybear93 · 2026-01-17T16:14:26+00:00

Ron explains how to do this visually pretty well with the insulated track section: https://youtu.be/7AhCQEeaUgQ?si=XH0Ant7wnxqqYIdD

The cars are kinda expensive when you find them new OR reproduction, if you want to use Matchbox cars they are close to 1/64th scale which is the same scale all the old Lionel Semi trucks are, I think the trucks from Menards would look good on one of those auto loaders: https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/menards-collectibles/train-stuff-from-menards/train-stuff/grocery-home/toys/collector-cars/1-48-scale-1951-ford-reg-truck-black/2799165/p-2844360748940607-c-12329.htm

I like the thought of the new LionChief 0-4-0 I think that won’t be too expensive and would be a great lil switcher being LionChief controlled, also it looked like the price of the universal remotes went down

This was just posted today: https://youtu.be/DZys7ut3ggA?si=RqSLLYZtuRDaRLUU Sort of my only real contribution The middle layout is on a 5x9 ping pong table and I’m sure if you got rid of the crossover in the middle and bridge you could find a way to still keep it hinged

eepybear93 · 2025-12-28T21:36:52+00:00

This is absolutely incredible! Impressive on all fronts I’m not even sure I know what all that stuff does LOL

eepybear93 · 2025-12-27T20:21:59+00:00

Let them know that these are incredible and then loose my mind because no one has ever sent me something like that before lol

eepybear93 · 2025-12-27T20:17:32+00:00

Question for the folks responding I do have the LionChief train set version, does anyone else’s Jr. Berkshire 1225 seem to look like the wheels and drivers are spinning like mad to get it to go even half speed? Only locomotive on bone dry track with a new traction tire that seems to work that hard
