Uploaded some new Videos Classic Lionel Spacetrain / Military Train
Posted by cruikshank on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 12:41 AM

 

I posted a few new videos on You-Tube including one of this near perfect example of an early 1960's Lionel Spacetrain / Military Train.  This is on loan to us from a gentleman by the name of David Sheer.  He is the original owner. He brought in in to see if we could tune it up.  Mike Kutch a member of this forum and NSHR's did a clean and lube of the motor and clean and lubed the springs and firing mechanisms so that Yes it does fire the missiles.  We need to add an operating track to our Gargraves Phantom Track to show off it's firepower.

 

Check it out at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBkLPI-avjA  

 

While your there check out our other videos if you haven't already.  Thank you, Dave, Wally, Caleb, and Mike of the North Schuylkill High Railers.

Thanks for posting the videos - the layout looks fantastic.  I am originally from Shenandoah, PA, and I am looking forward to seeing your layout in person next time I am home for a visit.

Cool videos, Dave.  Thank you all for the positive comments on the layout, we've put a good deal of time into converting it to DCS but the results have been well worth it (yes, I'm the "Mike" that Dave was referring to.)  If you get a chance and you're in the area, don't miss our next public opening on Sunday, 11/14/10, from 12-5 PM.  Hope to see some of you there.
