I was just about to ask, how is everybodies power conversions going? I would love to have one, but my old eyes and fat fingers, will prevent me from digging into one. I did manage to close the spacing between turbine and tender coupling for a more realistic appearance for static display. please show us your progress.
Hi, nothing exiting in TV so I went thru some old threads: I wonder if somebody got a turbine unit running?
Does anybody know where I could find one of these today? Maybe you have one you would like to sell? :tb-wink: Thanks.
https://www.hookedonhallmark.com/Hallmark-Ornaments-By-Series_c_31-1-0.html You may try an etailer like hooked on hallmark.com. I've never bought from them, but can be used as a resource for nearly any Hallmark ornament. My link goes to the "series" page. Click on Lionel to find the turbines, AFT cars & other items. I've seen other stores that just sell christmas items all year round. The site should tell you what condition they are in, boxed, etc.
Eddie: I have a set. They are in the show box so I'll bring them to SFO and Pleasanton. The Vandie tender is really crisp molding. .
Hi folks If one is intersted in turbine locomotives - I have a very rare book for sale: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TURBINES-W...163120?hash=item217ee9a8f0:g:LaoAAOSwl4Ffv2nl It's a very well made book. Usefull informations, hunderts of fotos and drawings. It's in very good condition. It comes with a clear plastic cover.
Great idea! What type of trucks are they? What possible locomotives would use them? EDIT: oops, I didn’t read the rest of the thread before asking.
