WHAT'S FOR $ALE?

I can't think of a better hobby than model trains, and the monorails are just a special niche in that hobby. The Schuco Disneyland monorails are well built and have amazing engineering for a 1960's toy. If you decide to join the fun, I believe you will be pleased.

After not having any sets for the past 6 months, I now have one 6333G set with a red monorail. This one is the second generation G set. Hope you take a look! Nice sets are becoming tougher to find and even the poorer sets are commanding higher prices.

Many of the parts listed below are one of a kind. I am pretty good at updating my website, but before ordering you may wish to email me for availability Trainfool@aol.com. Now is the time to add them or their boxes to your collection.

6333G Second Generation Set with a Red Monorail

Click here to see pictures of this set.

This is a super nice set for both operation and displaying. The red monorail is in Excellent condition, with very few nicks or scratches. I tried to picture it from all sides and even have an extreme close up to show one silver paint chip that is missing on the front unit's bolster. There is a very small rub in the silver paint in the nose area. These are extremely small defects. Overall, the red and silver paint are Excellent. The decals are strong. The windows are yellowing slightly, but look good and are consistent in color. There are some wire rubs inside on the windows of the motor unit. This unit runs great and has new wheels installed. The brushes are almost new and will provide many hours of operation. This is the monorail with the side weight plates and the tail fins. ALL parts are included in the set including the original Schuco wires. The German, 24 paged manual is in Excellent condition, but someone did punch two holes in the one side so it could be kept in a binder. As you can see from the pictures, the graphic on the lid is bright and in Very Good condition. There is tape on all the corners and one tear on the top of the lid at far bottom right hand side. This has been taped underneath. Because it is following along the corner of the box, it is not very noticeable. The one side of the lid has the red dot which indicates that a red monorail is inside! I would have probably listed the condition of this set at Excellent minus except for the grooves someone put in the styrofoam insert. My son had paid $675 for our first G set in the mid 1990's at the Great Train Expo in Denver. It needed some work and cleaning. For less than that price, this set is ready to be run and be displayed at your home! Very Good Yes $655.00

Sky Blue 3 car Mark I Monorail

Click here for pictures

A 3 car sky blue monorail with tail fins and weights, all ready to operate on your layout. There are several paint chips and some rust on some of the skirts and weight plates. Don't let this scare you. When I took this one apart, the brushes looked new, so the monorail saw little use or someone replaced the brushes. The decals are all present and the lettering is pretty good on the skirts. The windows are still white also. So there are a lot of good points with this monorail, too. I would have no problem running and displaying this unit on any of my traveling layouts! Of course it has new wheels installed, has been oiled, and tested. This one runs a little slower than most monorails for some reason, so make sure you have a transformer that puts out at least 20 volts for this one. For those operators who love to try to run the Schuco monorails at scale speeds, you may like this one better, but it isn't that slow! Good- No $225.00

Red 3 car Mark I Monorail

Click here for pictures!

A 3 car red Mark I monorail that runs super great. The front car has the Phillips screws in it, so it is one of the last models made--very heavy. Train does include the front weight plates and the rear tail fins. This unit looks like someone tried to spot paint some areas, including a crack in the back of the motor car which runs almost half of the unit. The plastic in the bubble area has been smashed some. I bought this unit thinking I may paint it a "Monorail Gold," but after examing it more, it just isn't bad enough to repaint. The skirts are pretty good, with the lettering worn on just one. Window are yellow. The problem with even poorer condition monorails is that the parts are still worth a lot! If no one seems interested in this Mark I for this price, maybe I'll change my mind about making it "Monorail Gold." Fair No $195.00

Silver 3 car Mark I Monorail

Click here for pictures!

It is tough finding a super nice silver monorail. That is because the silver paint is so easily scratched, nicked, and chipped. This is one of the nicest silver Mark I monorails I have had for sale. You will not find one much better. It does have a couple of light scratches on the red rear nose and some scratches on the skirts. These are all very minor overall in the Excellent condition monorail. The windows are white and all consistant in color. The silver paint is also a consistent color throughout. The monorail has the weights and tail fins as all silver monorails do. This silver monorail is the version without the lip going over the bulbs. Of course it runs great and has new rubber wheels installed. This is a monorail I would consider putting in my collection and I hope you will consider it, too! Excellent+ No $315.00

4 car Mark II Blue Monorail!!

Click here for pictures.

A super nice, duller blue, Mark II monorail with original connecting bolster. Okay, it isn't perfect, but darn close. The paint is smooth with very few knicks. The windows are white, and there are some rubs on the front motor unit windows, probably from the wires inside. You have to really look close to see the flaws in this monorail. All the blues match fairly well, decals are present, has weights, and tail fins. The unit runs great, and of course has new wheels installed. You better buy this one before I retire it in my collection and keep it for myself. Excellent No $455.00
6333/0/2 Red middle car. Very nice red paint with a minor knick on the silver paint This middle car is of the first generation monorail style that does NOT have the black tabs underneath. The black tabs are being reproduced, but the unit works fine without them. Very Good - No $65.00
6333/0/2 Red middle car. Red paint is very good. The red stripes on the skirts are a faded yellowish orange. This unit does NOT have the black bracket over the copper connecting pieces which the early models did not have. Windows are white. Will look nice on your red monorail and if you have the connecting bolster, will make your Mark I into a Mark II. Good+ No $50.00
6333/0/2b How many of these have you seen in past 3 years? And in the original box to boot! This is a dull blue middle car with an original bolster. Windows are white. Overall condition is very close to Excellent, but there are a few knicks if you really study it hard. I'll list it at Very Good+. There is some writing on the box, but it is crisp. It also has the label on it AND the original blue dot. There is no cardboard insert inside. You won't find too many nicer than this one. Very Good+ Yes SOLD!

6333/0/3 Shell ONLY

Click here for pictures!

Blue "turquoise" rear car shell only. Blue paint and silver paint is excellent and is very shiny. All decals are present. There is a very, very small piece of the word "Disenyland" missing in the one decal. Excellent- No $40.00
NOTE ON TRACK and PINS Schuco did not give center pins with their track, at least not through most of its production of the monorails. They did include a pin later because the warning label that you had to purchase a #19 was not on the late 60's boxes. Usually, pins had to be purchased separately. However, my price includes one center pin with any track you purchase. That is a dollar savings! Switches will have 5 pins included. ALL OF MY BRASS TRACK COMES TO YOU CLEAN AND SHINY, READY FOR YOU TO USE. I do not know of anyone else who will make this claim!!! One free pin with each track piece purchased!

 

No

 

 

FREE Pin with each track!

 

6333/1

Loose Used Straight Track/Brass. All of my tracks come to you nice and shiny, ready for you to use on your layout. It takes me around 15 minutes to clean one track! Most look like new, but sometimes there is some oxidation on the steel connecting tubes. Schuco continually changed the production process of the tracks, so if you are looking for a specific style, email me and I will let you know if I have it. I priced my track to reward those who purchase larger amounts.

NOTE: I've sold a lot of straight track in the past 6 months! I am trying to acquire more, but for right now have mostly boxed straight.

Good to Like New No

1 -10 tracks: $8.00 each

11-20 tracks: $7.50 each

21-40 tracks: $7.00 each

41+ tracks: $6.50 each

6333/1 Five pieces of straight/brass track in a box. Tracks are some of the last ones made by Schuco with the raised upper rails. The cardboard insert is missing the ends, thus there are a couple of holes in the end flaps of the box. Box is still fairly nice. Schuco put some of their straight tracks in a #16 insulated track box. It has the normal label with the "x10" on it, then a very faint "5" stamped over it. Nice box to add to a collection and great tracks to add to a layout! Excellent Yes $45.00
6333/1 Five pieces of straight/brass track in a box. Tracks have raised upper rails and are in Excellent condition. The cardboard insert has one missing end. The box looks great, but has one missing small tab inside. The label has the normal "x10" on it with a faint "5" stamped over the 10. I'm not sure how many boxes like these Schuco shipped out, but you do not see that many. Excellent Yes $45.00
6333/1 Ten pieces of straight/brass track in a box. Six of these pieces appear to have never been used and the other four are in Good condition. Box does have the insert, part number label, and the Attention label concerning the pins. Box is only in Fair condition with some repairs to the tabs. Upper rails are the sunken type. Good to Like New Yes-Fair $85.00
6333/1 FOURTEEN pieces of straight/brass track in a box. Yes, this has a Schuco #1 label on it. The "10" is crossed off and a "14" is marked in its place. The label does NOT have the picture of the track on it, just the words. I am fairly confident that this box came from Schuco this way. It is probably some of the last track shipped out from the factory and Schuco was just getting rid of inventory, thus used a #2 box for straight track. The track in this box is probably mint and have the raised top rails. The box does have some flaws including one inside side tab missing of the checkered box, and one tab missing of the cardboard insert. One end flap is taped from the inside and so is the one tab of the cardboard insert. When this box is closed, it looks great, just like a box sitting on the hobby store shelf for 40 years collecting dust! All these flaws mentioned are on the inside. I am sure you will be happy with this unique addition to your collection. Like New Yes-Fair $115.00
6333/1 Loose Used Straight Track/Brass. These tracks usually have the connecting tubes smashed or extremely rusted, but are still usable. Fair No $4.00 each
6333/1

Loose Used Straight Track/Blackened Steel/may be rusty and probably will NOT be clean. See note below.

NOTE: Blackened steel track cannot be cleaned easily without removing the black. The track tends to rust just sitting. The rust can be easily cleaned off, but it usually takes off the black, too. Thus, you end up with silver rails. You used to be able to reblacken the rails with blackening kits available at some hobby shops, but I have heard that they may be discontinued???

Fair to Good No $3.00
6333/2

Loose Used Curve Track/Brass. All of my brass tracks come to you nice and shiny, ready for you to use on your layout. It takes me around 15 minutes to clean one track! Most look like new, but sometimes there is some oxidation on the steel connecting tubes. Schuco continually changed the production process of the tracks, so if you are looking for a specific style, email me and I will let you know if I have it. I priced my track to reward those who purchase larger amounts.

NOTE: I've sold a lot of curved track in the past 6 months! I am trying to acquire more, but for right now have mostly boxed curve.

6333/2 Box of ten pieces of curve/brass track. I'll include the 10 pins even though it has the label saying that you will need to buy them. The cardboad insert is missing both ends. Box is in Good condition. Someone wrote "GAP" in black on one side of the box. Very Good Yes $85.00
6333/2 Box of ten pieces of curve/brass track. Track is in Excellent condition. Insert inside box is missing one end and thus some of the rails have punched some holes in the box end. Box is still fairly nice. Label has the picture of the track on it and the words. I always include pins. Excellent Yes $87.00
6333/2 Box of ten pieces of curve/brass track. There is NO label saying that you don't receive pins and you get them anyway.

The cardboard insert is present, but one end flap is loose, but still there. Excellent Yes $90.00
6333/2 Box of ten pieces of curve/brass track. There is NO label saying that you don't receive pins. The box is a little rough and has some tears. The label has the picture of a curved piece of track on it. The insert is the gray cardboard style and is very nice. Very Good Yes $85.00

NOTE: Blackened steel track cannot be cleaned easily without removing the black. The track tends to rust just sitting. The rust can be easily cleaned off, but it usually takes off the black, too.

6333/17 The original bags are gone-crumbled into pieces. However, you still get the original 50 Uclips that came in this box (original had 5 clips in 10 bags). These are unused from the factory, but there is some surface rust on some of the clips, thus the reason for the lower grading. Good to Very Good Yes SOLD!
6333/18 Loose track clips made to go around terminals Good to Very Good No $1.50
6333/18 The original bags are gone-cumbled into pieces. You still get the original 20 clips that came in this box (original had 10 bags with 2 clips in each bag). Some light surface rust on a couple of the unused clips. Good to Excellent Yes $35.00
6333/19 Loose Center Track Pin/Brass Good to Very Good No $1.00
6333/19 Checkered Box with 100 brass pins! The bags are gone as they crumbled from age. Great if you are going to use these. From experience, you can't have enough #19's! Like New Yes SOLD!
6333/19 Checkered Box with 5 bags of pins/10 pins per bag for a total of 50 pins. Box is in Excellent condition. Like New Yes $60.00

6333/20R

Switch in the box with instruction sheet. I include 5 brass pins. Switches are oiled, greased, and ready to run. The boxes are in fair shape, but not crisp like a brand new box.

NOTE ON SWITCHES: Schuco never included a control button with individual switches. You picked either a #41 manual button or a #26 automatic control. These are listed below. You can operate up to two switches with either device.

Very Good+ Yes $65.00
6333/20L Switch in the box with instruction sheet. I include 5 brass pins. Switches are oiled, greased, and ready to run. The boxes are in fair shape, but not crisp like a new box. Very Good+ Yes $65.00
6333/20R Switch out of the box. There is a small paint chip on the motor cover. Switch works great, has been cleaned, oiled, and greased. Good to Very Good No SOLD!
6333/20L Switch out of box. Some scratches on the motor cover, but overall in nice shape. Cleaned, oiled, greased and ready for your layout. I include 5 brass pins. Good to Very Good No $55.00
6333/20R and 6333/20L Pair of switches in the box, ready for you to use. I give you a price break if you buy a pair. You will also get ten #19 brass pins. Very Good+ Yes $120.00 for the pair
6333/26/1 For some reason I have many of these, but no 26/0's. The 26/1 is the weight plate that extends below the monorail skirt and triggers the #6333/26. Schuco did make two versions of these plates and all the extra ones I have are of the solid variety. Later, Schuco added slots so that the side pickups would not touch the plate and short out. A simple piece of electrical tape on the side of the plate will give you the same results! Fair to Good No $20.00
6333/26/0 and 6333/26/1 Weights for the newer style of monorail motor housings. Come with side brackets and screws to hold weights. Weights installed in the older style of monorails (first generation) usually need the sides of the tabs filed. It isn't that hard to do and well worth it! Fair to Good No $80.00
6333/26/0 and 6333/26/1 REPRODUCTION weight plates, brackets and screws. Thank a collector in Massachusetts who went to the trouble to have these reproduced. It was not a cheap task! New Reproduction No $65.00
6333/26 Automatic controller which is activated by a monorail to control up to two switches. These look like they came off a layout and maybe were glued to a board? The bottom is rough, but this does not affect its operation I have tested all of them on my test track and each one works perfectly. Watch out for broken #26's on Ebay. One of the things to look for are the metal outlets raised away from the plastic body. Some are obvious and this means a possible bad connection internally. These cannot be taken apart and repaired easily. ALL OF MY #26's COME WITH THE 26/2 PYLON AS THEY DID ORIGINALLY. Good No $50.00
6333/26 After you have a layout using the automatic controllers, you will find that a groove starts forming on the automatic controllers. These have a slight grove in them, so are definitely used, but not much. They have been tested and work perfectly. The boxes are in Good shape and each unit has the instructions packed away in its box. 26/2 included. Excellent Yes $70.00
6333/26 Automatic controller activated by a monorail to operate 6333/20L and 6333/20R. This is getting to be one of the hardest parts to find, probably because it is in much demand. Comes with 6333/26/2. Tested and works. These are in the box and are in LIKE NEW condition and come with the original instruction sheet. Like New Yes $75.00
6333/26/2 Special pylon for above units, but also can be used by itself on a layout. YELLOWED and scraped up a little. Fair No $1.75
6333/26/2 Special pylon for 6333/2. GRAY Excellent No $3.50
6333/26/2 Special pylons for the 6333/26 BUT someone filed down the bases so they would be flush with the 6333/26. They actually look good this way, or you could use them under a switch, etc. Still usable, but shorter. Would be great if your #26 needs to sit flat on a layout board!!! Fair No 50 cents
6333/26/2 10 pylons in the box. This is one of the harder boxes to find. Pylons are beginning to yellow just a slight bit. Very Good Yes $40.00
6333/26/3 Wire and plug for #6333/26--in bag which is stamped with the part number. You need two of these for every one #6333/26. Becoming harder to find. Like New Bag-has been opened $35.00
6333/26/3 Wire and plug for #26. No bag Excellent No $30.00
6333/27 Block signal--Guaranteed to work. These are getting harder and harder to find and many of the ones you are finding don't work or have broken pegs. This unit has to be one of the most fragile pieces that Schuco made and are almost impossible to fix when broken. This one had a lot of melt marks from the wire wrapped around the stem. I tried to smooth out as much as possible. Still, not terrible and will look great on your layout. Fair+ No SOLD!
6333/27 Block signal-Guaranteed to work. Some knicks but overall a nice piece. Good+ No SOLD!
6333/27 Block signal in the box and in super nice shape! Instructions included! Excellent Yes $110.00
6333/27 Block signal in the box and in super nice shape! Instructions included! Box label has been torn off. Excellent Yes $100.00
6333/27/1 Reproduction RED bulb for signal. Looks identical to original Schuco, except you may have to add a bead of solder to the end to make good contact with the back plate of the block signal. Mint No $3.50
6333/27/2 Reproduction GREEN bulb for signal. Looks identical to original Schuco, except you may have to add a bead of solder to the end to make good contact. Mint No $3.50
6333/27/1 & 6333/27/2 Buy one of each of the above reproduction RED and GREEN bulbs and get a price break! Mint No $6.00
6333/27/3 Extension cord for 6333/27 block signals. The plugs on these are usually cracked because the plastic was much too thin. It does not affect the performance. Good to Very Good No $15.00
6333/27/3 Extension cord for 6333/27 block signal. This one is in the checkered box. There are small cracks in the plastic, as usual and some melt marks from the chemical reaction of the rubber/plastic insulation. It is almost impossible to find these without the cracks. I am sure this one has never been used and is probably Mint, but I will list it as Like New. Has the label that has the part number rubber stamped on it, a fairly common label. Like New Yes $20.00
6333/28 Manual block system switch. You can plug 1 #27 signal into this and by using some insulated tracks create controlling blocks in your layout. Kids love to stop and start the monorails and watch the block signal go green to red. These are just loose, no box or instructions. Excellent No $25.00 each or 2 for $40.00
6333/28 Switch to manually run a block system. Comes in checkered box with label. Also has instruction sheet. The #27 block signal plugs into this and thus turns red when the power is off and turns green once the switch is put into the on position. A nice addition to a layout! Like New Yes $35.00
6333/28 Switch to manually run a block system on you monorail layout! Unit has some slight surface rust due to moisture where stored. Instruction sheet is also in the box! Very Good Yes $30.00
6333/41 Controller for switches. You can run two switches together with one controller Good to Very Good No $15.00

6333/42 2 way distributor-yellow Very Good to Excellent No SOLD!
6333/42 2 way distributor-green. You don't see these too often. These units have never been used, but there is some rust on the sides of the metal bracket, so I'll rate them at a C-6 which is Very Good. Five units come in a box. This is one of the toughest boxes to find. The label has a piece out of it, but the picture and the #42 are there. Very Good Yes $80.00
6333/43 6 way distributor-yellow Very Good to Excellent No $15.00
6333/43 Two 6 way green distributors in a box! This is a tough box to find! Units are unused, but because they were stored in a moist climate, have some surface rust on the sides of the metal brackets. Very Good Yes-labels have edge wear $40.00

6333/46 Reverser for AC operations-yellow plastic. In lid of original red box, but missing bottom. Lid has label on it. I would get this as a collectable, not as a functioning unit. Very Good Top half $11.00

6333/47 AC to DC converter-greenish plastic-no box. This is one item I'm not sure if it will work. I would only get this unit as a collectable. It is actually fun to try to get these in their various color combinations. So far I have found four different ones. Excellent No $15.00
6333/48 Red hookup wire. This is original Schuco! You don't see these very often. This is the one meter, circle of wire that is listed in the manual. These are wrapped round, however, like shown in the manual. The wires shown on the parts sheet are wrapped oblonged like the ones that come in the sets. See below for those. No envelope. Again, this is extremely rare and hard to find. Mint No Sold Out

6333/69 Loose Rubber Foot for pylons Like New No 50 cents
6333/69 100 rubber feet. Originally there were 10 bags, each with 10 rubber feet. However, the bags were so brittle, that they crumbled when I inspected them. So you still get 100 rubber feet in a nice box, but they feet are in newer plastic bags. Like New Yes $55.00

6333/71 One of the hardest accessories to find are the dual rail supports. Making a dual track with these looks great with two monorails running side by side or in the opposite direction! These are loose and unbroken (watch out for glued ones when you buy somewhere else). When you use these on curves, each outside curve will need a #5 balancer track. Excellent No $23.00
6333/71 Checkered box with five dual rail supports. These are tough to find! Like New Yes $125.00
6333/72 Loose bases for mounting to board. Pylons slip over a peg in the base. Some of the rivets have rust, but when you screw them down, that would be covered. Bases may be Gray or Yellow. Very hard to find. Good No Sold out
6333/72 Bases in a box. These are a yellowish color and the metal parts do have rust on them even though they are unused. A note here is that all metal pieces would be covered either by screws when you mount them, or by track or pylons when you put them over the base. These are still very tough to find and are great if you are making a permanent layout. You get 10 in a box. The box, itself, is a tough item to find. Good Yes $70.00
6333/72 Only 7 bases in a box. All my bases are this yellowish color and became that way just sitting in a box. Box has some kind of red paint or spill on it on a small percentage of the box. Good Yes SOLD!
NOTE ON #150's

The Schuco transformer is by far the best choice to run your monorails. It has all the correct voltages that you need. However, over the years, the bridge rectifiers in these transformers are drying out. They can be repaired, but you have to drill out rivets to get inside the transformer. Parts to repair them are around $6.00, so it is an inexpensive fix, but the look of the transformer will more than likely be forever changed. Because you never know when the original rectifiers will go out, I cannot guarantee the transformers for a length of time. I will however guarantee that when they arrive to your location, they will be working. This way you take no risk at that time. Also, as with any toy train transformer, the operator is responsible for unpluging it when not in use. An unattended old transformer is just asking for trouble!

The 220 transformers are starting to get harder to find, but are still less expensive than the 110's. Consider buying a converter and a 220 volt transformer. You could probably buy two 220 volt transformers, the converter, and a multi-plug for less than one 110 volt transformer.

6333/150 110 volt Schuco monorail transformer. These are super hard to find. This one is in excellent shape. I have tested it with a voltmeter and everything checks out perfectly. Someone did try to open this one up by prying a little on the front end. I don't know why they wanted to open it since it works fine, but the signs are obvious. This is the only thing wrong with this transformer. I am still confident that this transformer is fine, so I will guarantee it for 90 days if you decide to get it. That means if it quits working, just send it back and I'll refund your money. I'll even pay for the shipping for its return. Who else will do that with a 40 year old transformer? You are still responsible for unplugging it when you are not using it. Good only because of the pry marks which are underneath and a little mark on the top above the rivet. Otherwise would be Excellent. No SOLD!
6333/150 220 volt Schuco monorail transformer. This one is in nice shape. All original, has NOT needed repair, and is guaranteed to work when you receive it. Box is torn and worn some and is in Good condition. The original insert is missing and cardboard had been put in to give the box some support. Excellent Yes SOLD!
Step-up, step-down converter 200 watt converter for #6333/150 European style transformer. Not Schuco. Current production in China. New/Mint Yes $50.00
MRC TechII Loco Motion 1500 transformer This is the closest modern transformer I can find to the Schuco #150. It has a 20 volt DC variable output, a 17 volt AC fixed output, and a 22 volt DC fixed output. So the variable output is about 9 volts less than the #150, the AC is about 2 volts higher, and the fixed DC is around 5 volts lower. I have used these on a couple of layouts, and they run the monorails and switches fine. The two extra volts does not seem to bother the block signals. This is a fun transformer to operate! It has a Momentum function which when turned on, gradually lowers or raises the speed of the monorail. It has a Brake function which slowly stops the monorail. Unfortunately, this transformer is no longer in production, but is still readily available. I believe it retailed for as much as $59 when new. I've checked these out and they are guaranteed to work when they arrive at your layout! They originally came with a 5 year warranty, so they must have been a pretty reliable unit. MRC is still in business today, so even if you ever had a problem in the future, I am guessing you could send it in for repairs. All units are 110 volts. USED--Excellent Yes $40.00
LGB 50081 transformer According to the electronic experts, this is the best modern transformer to run the monorails. The output is 24 volts DC and has the cleanest and most consistant output compared to several other transformer models. These are no longer made, but still seem to be readily available. Originally they sold for around $75 and still bring close to that price on Ebay. This is a used one I found and looks really good. Someone spilled epoxy or glue on the cord, but it does not affect its performance in any way and did not eat into the cord or anything. I've tested an used it, and the output checks out fine. There is only one output on this transformer, and it is a DC variable one. Therefore, you would only use it to power the track. Casing is Like New. Cord has glue or some kind of epoxy spilled on it. No SOLD!

Triangular screw bit

A Schuco monorail collector has finally found a bit that fits the triangular slot! Way to go! I've searched high and low for these, and have even made my own, but now you can get one that fits right into your cordless screwdriver!

NOTE: These seem to work on some Schuco screws and not so well on others. Screws need to be in good shape, not stripped. Please understand that when you buy this tool that it may not work on 100% of the Schuco triangular screws. If you can figure out how to make these work better, please share that information with us!

New/Mint Not Schuco No $9.00
6333/0/22 Screw with Phillips head. On some of the last models made, Schuco started installing Phillips head screws instead of the triangular ones. At first just on the motor units, then later on all cars. These are original Schuco screws. Very Good No $5.00

Skirt Decals If you have to repaint your monorail skirts, you will need these! These are decals with the stripes and the "Schuco Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System" on it and go on the monorail skirts. You will get enough decals to do three-3 car monorails. These are specially made. You can get a sheet of decals for the red and silver monorails or the blue monorails. OR, a specially made decal sheet with yellow stripes and black lettering if you want to paint your own version of the monorail "gold" unit which ran at Disneyland. OR, you can get one sheet with each color. Please allow 2-3 weeks for these to be made up. The decals come in sets to finish a 3 car monorail. If you were repainting a 4 car monorail, you would have to use the middle car decal of another 3 car monorail decal set. Price now includes one pair of the body logos and words which will do front and rear cars. Reproduction No

On hold for now--My producer's machine is broken.

Miscellaneous
Schuco Classic Tin Toys BOOK The Collector's Guide by Chris Knox. I only know about the monorails that Schuco made. This book tells you not only about them, but also about the many other fasinating toys that Schuco made. A very fun book to have and to read. The sticker price on this book is $29.95, but I have a couple of extra ones at almost half that price! When these are gone, I probably won't be able to get any more as it is out of print. New No SOLD!
Schuco Monorail DVD During the summer of 2005, I was asked to travel to California to be interviewed about collecting and operating Schuco Monorails! It was exciting for me, and the producers put most of the interview, including the mistakes, onto this DVD. You also get a segment on Schuco Monorail sets and another describing different Disneyland monorail items. Produced by Extinct Attractions. As of the winter of 2009, I believe Extinct Attractions is no longer offering this video. This is the last copy that I have. Mint Yes-DVD Case. A piece of the case was chipped out during shipping to me! DVD plays fine. Sold Out
The Disneyland Monorail Story DVD Extinct Attractions produces this wonderful documentary about the Disneyland monorail. Bob Gurr, the Disney Imagineer of the original monorail, and many more notables take you down the historical path of this great mode of transportation. And, oh yes, I have about 45 seconds of fame in the video, too! The documentary is over an hour and a half long and is very detailed in the history of the Disney monorail and others connected with it, including those in Florida, Washington, and Nevada. If you like monorails, you will love this video. This is a reissue of this video series and now only contains one DVD. There are a few bonus features, but the main attraction is the documentary. Enjoy! Mint Yes-DVD Case $15.00
The cost of shipping and insurance has really increased! For most parts and accessory orders, add $12.00 for USPS Priority mail, shipping, and insurance to anywhere in the USA. Because of their weight, shipping of the transformers and the step up, step down converters is $20.00. Shipping of small sets is $20.00 and large sets is $38.00 to anywhere in the USA via FedEx ground and includes insurance, though I'm not sure if FedEx would ever honor the insurance since they insist they only cover brand new items. I intend to not make a profit on shipping, but please remember that shipping also includes packing materials and sometimes even buying a box. All prices are listed in U.S. dollars. Send money order or check to Doug Burwell, 3330 Arena Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80921. Checks will be held for 10 business days. Make payments to PayPal through trainfool@aol.com. You must have a confirmed address OR be a verified buyer on PayPal. Shipping on money orders or through PayPal will be sent immediately. I will send outside of the USA, but buyer takes all risks and pays all custom's fees. International shipping of small parts, shipped USPS Global Priority is around $17.00 and cannot be insured. Shipping of sets would be priced based on each individual order, but small sets usually run around $75.00 to $95.00 to Europe. I only charge for shipping and cost of packing materials. I do not charge for labor to pack items.
