TIN PLATE WIND UP TRAINS

CNJRR:
Anyone have any windup trains?

Here is a Hafner, one along with a Mar-line's tender.
A save from a dump.
It is missing a wheel but I think I have one somewhere.
The motor still works. All need a cleaning.

Cool. I’m working a windup 1700. But no motor. I’ll have a Lionel electric motor in it. Orange & chrome.

It is good to see someone interested in running wind-ups. I have a few and have been producing a series of videos of my layout, The Lake Shore Railway. One of the videos is all Hafner, all wind-ups and they are all running. Another video has some Am Flyer wind-ups running. You can see my list of youtube videos at the link below. Hope you enjoy.

CNJRR:
Show them here?

Now my Dad tossed this at me years ago, as he did he growled and if you didn't beat it up you would have a nice train now!
Do you have this one?

Now I know I didn't do it, it was my younger brother.
At the time my Dad was getting older and had problems, he would call me my Brothers name and call my Brother by my name.
So I took the pieces and thanked him.  :)

This is also a Halfner wind up. The motor still works.
I think I have 2 more passenger cars somewhere in my mess to go with these.

The cars survived my Brothers beating, the locomotive not so much.
I might have the cab top for it somewhere too.

These were made starting in 1937, this was part of the M1000 set (came with 4 units) and came in several variations. The engine with port hole in the side is one of the more collectible units.

      

EDIT, Added motor pictures.

On the VW boards a picture of a beat up VW always results in a sarcastic comment:

"That will buff out."

I think the phrase started with them making fun of classified ads.
