40 HO scale models, including multiple powered locomotives. Will all of them run?

At 22¢ per item, I'd call this an ultra deal!

Gosh I can't believe the club let people have these gems for this price. You have a bag of wonderful projects ahead of you for sure.

A helium car belongs on every layout - even if it isn't prototypical. Great Haul!

with the plastic letters you could write ''Panaderia la Espiga.''

Score! I think the camelback could likely be Tenshodo or Akane, especially if it dates to the 50s.

The Athearn pickle car with the wires on the sides was just how it came originally. Great bag of finds. Looking forward to what projects come from it!

I've got a gondola with the same load, but mine was a plaster casting that I painted. I did every bit as good a job as the "Chooch" load. The fun part was painting the '32 Ford. Cheers from eastern TN

8:44. Very good model in my opinion. I like Cowl & Cab unit locomotives.

The Lindburgh tooling is what Mantua was using in the 80s for freight cars. The Tru-scale blacksmith car ended up at Bachmann. GE Capital finances locomotives to this day.

I have 3 True Scale MOW Maintenance of Way cars, 1 Kitchen, 1 Maintenance freight car and 1 working Caboose. They all have sprung trucks with metal wheels. Got them for Christmas this year. Cheers from eastern TN

Very interesting collection of items for quite the reasonable price I'm from Australia so I'm not the most knowledgeable on US model railway items but I have considered buying some unbuilt Athern Pullman coaches to make them look like those from the Polar Express as I've been building an old Hobbyline Berkshire kit I found for a bargain with the intention of making it into PM 1225. Only downside is a single coach is nearly 100 bucks shipping included, so my plans for such will be on hold for a while it seems.. Regardless this was a very cool video to be recommended
