Big Haul

[Super]

Nice haul you got there. You certainly haven't held back on Yahoo Japan. :-)

Those Western style engines are really neat aren't they. I recently completed the full set of them, with at least 1 of the different types.

With regard to upgrading the motor in the Green Disney train (or others like it - top switch), be careful. The gearbox is a poor design. If you bump them or put excess load (hold the wheels) a idler pinion gear slips out of position, or even worse the gear splits. It is fixable if you have spare 12? tooth pinion or can work out which gear to slip back in place . It occurs quite easily so I wouldn't suggest the increase stress of an upgrade motor. I have 3 that are prone to the gear slipping out of place, even after gluing, and another 2 extras in my spares box just in case

I know you added the new Disney Dream Mickey Mouse, did you add more than what is in your great YouTube Video?

Thanks for the advice on upgrading the motors and the possible gearing problem, good advice. I will have to rethink that part of the mod. All you Western engines run pretty good in the video. If mine run as well there would be no reason to swap out the motor but now I am curious to take one apart to look at the gearing. That will probably be the Red Mickey when it comes as I will be swapping his wheels and I like the green & Gold Goofy better that the red Mickey.

Where else on the Internet can one get great advice from the very experienced members here at BluePlasticTracks.com?

Wow! You are a lucky steamer! You have some rare locomotives in that! That large C12 is really rare! (The singular steam engine with the the more circular shape) You even have Disney Locomotives! Those are not easy to get! good job!

I use to think a ton of trains were rare or just hard to find too. That is until I was turned on to Japans Yahoo Auctions. Now just about every dream I have had of owning particular Trains has been fulfilled, some 2 and 3 times over
