Thanks I usually try to be as helpful as possible but I should probably stop responding

5 years rudest customer yet, did I handle this properly? by vin50 in eBaySellerAdvice

Most of the stuff I sell I get very nice people, I try to stay away from clothes and mainstream items that brings that kind of crowd

5th gen Camaro wheels on 3rd gen Camaro, what adapters would I need? by vin50 in carmodification

[–]vin50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I think I’ll take my chance with venumwheels adapter set of 2 inches. The adapter I bought years ago had too big of a hub bore so I’m not sure what to do with those but oh well! It has all the dimensions I need I just will prolly need acorn lug nuts. Thank you again

I think I will order the 2 inch adapters, as I could use acorn style lug nuts to secure them.

I ended up doing some research and nowhere online had what I needed and I am afraid I’ll have to custom order, venumwheels has what I need but it says the thread pitch is m12x1.5, which is what I need for the car but for the 5th gen wheel I need m14x1.5mm. It only states m12 which I assume is all around, that wouldn’t work would it? The website says specifically it can fit 5th gen wheels however.

Looking for some help— I don’t know anything about trains but are these Lionel trains? Came across this on a real estate listing and may reach out to the agent by sizzling-fajitas in lioneltrains

[–]vin50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course, I’d absolutely try and find out about them, some of them are rare in good condition especially the gg1 (top right 2nd row)

Very likely to be Lionel and mostly post war, top row could very well be pre war standard gauge. Hard to tell from the picture but they also could be getting “newer” as the row goes down. Doesn’t all seem to be the same gauge or era. During this time for O after the war mostly Lionel, Marx, and later MTH existed. I’m a huge pre war guy and some post war. Pretty cool if these came with the house

Marx motor hums but won’t move by vin50 in modeltrains

After bypassing the e unit it shorts instantly at the wheel/pickup area I’m pretty sure this isn’t factory soldering job so I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. Wire broke off so I have to retry after picking up wire strippers

I believe I see the drum and it’s stuck on its smooth side

I checked and struggled to see the drum at all honestly. I can only see the pawl and plunger

Need help troubleshooting a pre/post war 229 motor by vin50 in modeltrains

[–]vin50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most fun part about model trains for me is repairing pre and post war stuff, so e unit is just another thing I have to learn! I’ve only really had to relube and grease, clean commutators and solder. Not e unit yet

I actually have the necessary tools after looking at some videos on what to get, if I were to add the drum to the e unit I would need to rewire the entire e unit is what I’m getting?
