The train stuff included buildings that are the flat plastic pieces. The thing is that all the pieces go somewhere and I am glad you recognized some of the cars were detached bottom and tops. It looks like it may have had a lot of specialty items that are not as common. Your right about storage and the desintegration of the boxes. Make sure you pickup the little pieces, they are impossible to replace. For a rr person stuff like that goes in a junk drawer until it is recognized as a missing part. Sorry to run so long, that was exciting.

The clean out was not a complete train wreck. Thanks.

I say respectfully, I love your and Tony's repartee. I'm never sure who's listening to who, if Tony knows you are not talking to him but to the camera, if there is a third party in another room that he is talking to, etc. I love it! You both make me smile.

Great to see you working together with Tony again. I would have taken the beautiful quilt without hesitation because they are hard to find over here. And my former girl friend teached me that some of these items are highly collectible and might generate a decent amount of $$$. 🤑Nice to see a modernized Statue of Liberty with a lantern instead of a torch. 😄Big score on the model train, it´s not LGB, but Lionel is a very good brand as well. A lot of restoration work to do for train enthusiasts. Have a great and relaxing weekend (seems that you were pretty tired at the end of this vid), and see you on the next one ! 🌄Greets from GER, U.

That's a very cool train set. I love all the little details & it certainly has value. Someone will be happy to have it & make it shine again 🚂

[andrewbrown]

Great vid.! Well I am glad you found the toy train & accessories and appreciate it for what its
worth instead of having
Someone else find and throwing it out! Show us what you will do with the
lamps (?) that you
retrieve from the train stuff!

Woohoo Renee and Tony. The train 🚂 set is amazing. Who ever gets it will have all the fun restoring and putting pieces back together again. One thing Renee, your right sbout trains in the attic. But in the basement is not cool at all. Great find my friends. Hope things get better from here. God Bless you Renee and Tony. Tske care and have an amazing weekend. Mari'a.🚂🚂🚂🚂👍👍👍👍💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗

The train items are going to be awesome for someone who knows how to refurbish it. It would be an amazing thing to repaint and restore all of the buildings. I used to want to make an entire room for a train set track with all of the people and buildings.

Thanks Renee for this great digging video👍💯 I just love the way you and Tony work together so well. Much love and respect

Someone would probably LOVE to restore that old train stuff. What a find. Today my local thrift finally opens its 'Julebutikk' (its Christmas section on the 2nd floor) so I'm going to try to get there early and see what treasures await. Maybe it won't matter that I missed out on Thursday. Maybe today's my day. They've been putting items out behind a closed off area of the store for WEEKS and the anticipation has just about killed this curious cat. No sneak peak photos on their facebook site this time either. It's going to be very busy and crowded, so as my mum used to say, 'Time to sharpen the elbows.' ;)

Very cool finds today! And it’s always nice to see you working and chatting with Tony.😊

Aww. Tony is so sweet. "Can I have the lampposts"? "Yeah, of course". Those lampposts are so cute. ☺️🩷

Those trains are going to sell well, I believe. As you know, often parts sell better than the whole. That outlet about 6:06 - oh my! Nice '40s (I think) desk chair in the bedroom. Will you show us packing the dumpster? Tetris on large scale? 😀 Beautiful weather here today. Been watching a crew remove a 90' tall, 100-year old oak from our back yard. Had to come down. Willow oak - they were planted all over this neighborhood in the '20s but are all at the end of their life span. With the worsening storms we've been having, they've been falling & taking out cars, sheds & houses. Hated to do it and shed a tear, but had to. Hope you have a great weekend and find cool things, get much accomplished, and have fun!

[kathleenj]

Hello Renee & Tony! Wishing you a good weekend. ☺️👋

[larryboysen]

Good luck in finding that overlooked, hidden treasure!! That stash of poor Lionel stuff would make a great apocalypse scene! The vintage Lionel transformer was one of the first to enable the model railroader to run two trains independently...known as the "football" by collectors. I have one in mint operating condition. Introduced in the in the late 1940s...ran through the sixties off and on. Today, train control has gone high tech. with Blue Tooth capability. Well...I've got trains in MY basement!

Hurray, I found you easier today 🎉
1st comment too

That braided rug in front of the washer/dryer will probably be wonderful if it is cleaned up. The smal rugs are cool too.

[deadhorse]

Looked like a nice old wooden jelly cabinet there.
The train lamp posts are worth about $15 each
Trains are sort of a mystery to me, not much difference between a real good one and a so so one
I have a good friend that is really into them, has a huge train yard in a barn loft. He comes from a very wealthy family, his great grandfather was a “ Titian of American Industrial “
I asked him once how he got into trains. Told me as a child he had a big set in the attic of their house, said his parents would fight a lot and he went up and play with his trains and played sound affects to be away from it till one of the maids came and got him.
Thought it was sort of a sad story

The blue primitive cabinet is a seller!❤
