WHAT'S FOR $ALE?

I have been getting some super nice sets lately, especially small G sets. If you are looking for a nice starter set, this seems like a good time to jump into the hobby. Please do not hesitate too long as these may sell at the next train show! Also, take note of some special prices of the very hard to find Schuco Disneyland Monorail S sets!

I am going to be making some changes concerning pylons. In the past I have tried to distinguish between the yellow and gray plastic in the pylons. The structure of the pylons are identical, but yet I was making a condition judgement based on the oxidation of the plastic. My main problem was that the shades of yellow are so different that sometimes I would put an almost gray pylon in the yellow pile, and anoher time in the gray pile. It was hard to be consistant. Therefore, I am just going to put all shades of pylons together at one price per condition. The physical shape of the pylon will determine the condition. If you order multiple pylons I will try to group together all one shade. If you are trying to match a particular shade, for example, you may be trying to find a missing pylon to a set, then I will try my best to do so.

Many of the parts listed below are one of a kind. I am fairly good at updating my website, but before ordering you may wish to email me for availability Trainfool@aol.com.

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.

6333S Set with a four car Silver Monorail

Click here for pictures

Okay, here it is, the granddaddy of all the Schuco Disneyland Monorail sets! These are getting really hard to find. This is the first one I have had for sale since 2009!!! I will go over the good and bad of this set. First, this set has one of the nicest plastic inserts I have seen. There are no visible cracks. There is one that you really don't see along the right hand side at the edge bend and a weak part with a small hole in the right bottom corner. As collectors know, the yellow insert in this condition is tough to find. Unfortunately, the box lid and bottom are the weakest part of this set. There are several pieces of the lid's sides missing and some rips in the bottom. A positive is that the graphic and top of the lid is fairly good and does display well from straight on.

There are over 200 parts in a S set, and all of them are present. Everything is original EXCLUDING the black and red wires. Reproduction wheels have been installed on the monorail, but the originals are included. The silver monorail runs great! The are some scuffs on the monorail, especially on the silver paint. The red paint is very good. The windows are yellowing and all appear to be a consistant shade. I am listing the monorail in Good condition. I do believe you will be happy with it.

Both switches and block signals are in working order. The switches have been oiled and greased. All the blubs in the block signals have been checked.

For paperwork, you will receive the 24 page German manual that came with this set, the Maintenance sheet, the switch instruction sheet, and the block signal instruction sheet! Except for some folds, these are in Good condition. There is some writing on the Maintenance sheet on the front and you can see that in the picture.

The track is super nice and of course clean, ready for you to use! Overall, a Very Good S set which will be great in your collection and will add to any operation.

6333 S Set with a four car Sky Blue Monorail

Click here to view the pictures

Wow! Seldom do I have one S set for sale, let alone two! I am lucky to get one S set a year, and in 2010, I did not have any. I guess having two in 2011 makes up for the missing one in 2010!

This is a nice set, and overall displays very well. There are some cracks in the yellow insert with the worst part to the right of the switches. All the lid is present on this one, though someone did some creative repairs, especially in the lower right hand corner. Again, most of the wear and tear of the lid is on the sides, so the overall set really diplays beautifully.

The sky blue monorail has some chips in the silver paint and some in the blue, too. This is most obvious on the front unit. The middle and rear cars are in Very Good condition, but I'll rate the monorail overall in Good, again because of the front unit. I have taken several pictures from different angles for you to look at. Remember, one does not usually put their face right up against the monorail like I do with the camera. I want you to see the flaws, but I also want you to know how well the overall appearance of this set is. Compare the close ups and the wide shots and judge for yourself.

As usual, I've made sure that all the parts are present. This set INCLUDES the original wires and most of the paperwork that came with a S set. The monorail runs fantastic. Of course there are new wheels installed. The switches and block signals are guaranteed to work when they come to your house.

Despite the fact that I now have two S sets, these are getting harder and harder to find. And when they do show up, very seldom are all the parts included or working. I've seen several where the yellow insert is in pieces and the lid is completely missing! The blue four car monorail is even harder to find, and this one has great matching colors throughout the whole unit. I believe you will really enjoy having this S set in your collection.

Good Yes

6333G Second generation set with a sky BLUE monorail.

Click here for pictures!

 

This is the second generation set where the monorail has the weight plates and the rear tail fins. THIS IS ALSO A SET WITH A VERY HARD TO FIND BOX. The box lid has the red paper around it and the picture that was used on the boxed monorails. This picture is always of a red monorail. The front of a manual is also glued onto the top of the box lid. In this case, it is the front of an English manual. I have also seen the front of an Italian manual and a German manual on this style of lid. This lid is extremely hard to find and was probably one of the last sets made by Schuco. I am assuming that they had run out of cardboard lids with the printed graphic which was common to most sets, and instead put on the red paper used for S and American sets, the monorail picture that was on the individual monorail boxes, and a manual front page. This was probably less expensive than the first graphic box lid used.

The monorail is in GOOD+ condition with some small paint bumps on the front engine nose. The lettering on the skirts have a little fade to them, but not bad. The rear car is EXCELLENT! The middle car is GOOD with some knicks on the blue paint on the top. I am pointing out the flaws, but overall, this monorail will be one of the nicest ones you will see and it runs fantastic. New wheels are installed, as usual.

All parts are present INCLUDING the original Schuco wires. The #18 U clips are still in their original bag. You are also going to receive the original 24 paged German manual, the maintenance sheet, and the pink warning sheet telling new owners to use a DC transformer.

Good+ Yes $655.00

6333G Second generation set with RED monorail

Click here for pictues

This is a super nice G set. I'm only marking the condition down to Good+ instead of Very Good because there has been some repairs on the box lid. There is one small piece missing in the lower left side corner. I took a picture of that area for you to view. I think you will agree that you may have missed it if I had not pointed it out.

The red monorail is also in Very Good conditon with very few paint flaws. There is a paint flaw on the silver noise of the rear unit, but is not that offensive. As always, the monorail has new wheels installed and runs well.

Overall I think you will really like this set. All parts are present, and original, including the wires! There is no paperwork. Look at the pictures and see if you would like this set in your collection!

Good+ Yes $545.00

6333 G Second generation set with BLUE monorail

Click here for pictures

When you first look at this set, you may think you are in a hobby shop in the 1960's! The box is in very nice shape. Sure, there are some slight marks and wear from sitting around for the last 50 years, but you won't find much better today.

Inside, all parts are present including the original Schuco red and black wires. The blue monorail displays very well, but the rear car is a different shade of blue when compared to the front and middle units. The rear car has held its sky blue color while the front two units have turned to that duller blue color. There are some paint chips or scratches on the side of the rear car and the front of the engine unit. I'll let you look at the pictures so you can determine how nice of a monorail this is.

Paperwork does include the German, 24 page manual and maintenance sheet. Whoever owned this set must have loved going through and dreaming about what was inside the manual as it is really beat. The front and back pages are completely loose. Still, it is always fun to get some of the original paperwork and all the pages are there.

Overall, this is a super nice set with a great running monorail. Sometimes pointing out the flaws takes away from the beauty of a set. Please enjoy the pictures and hopefully you will add this one to your collection.

Box--Excellent

Monorail--Very Good

24 page manual Poor but complete

Maintenance sheet--excellent

Yes $580.00

6333G Second generation set with RED monorail

Click here for pictures

Another beautiful G set that I am offering you! I have been very fortunate in obtaining some super nice sets. The only thing keeping me from listing this set as Like New is a couple of paint chips and some wire window rubs on the front engine.

The box is crisp, the track is clean, the pylons gray, and of course all the parts are present, even the original Schuco wires. You also receive the German 24 page manual and the maintenance sheet.

This monorail is ready to run! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Excellent Yes $625.00

6333/99 Accessory Set

Click here for pictures!

I have been fortunate enough to come across another Accessory Set! You are lucky to see one of these a year, but how often do you come across one that looks like it came straight from the hobby shop shelf? This set still has the Schuco tape going across all the accessories to keep them in place in the clear plastic insert. All the small parts are in their original bags. This is truly a brand new set. The labels have some bumps on them, probably from shipping or shelf storage. I am sure you will not find one better.

A couple of notes here. First, I cannot get to the tracks to clean them without flipping the plastic insert out and taking off the Schuco tape. Therefore, this is going to be one of the few times you will ever get track from me that is not shiny brass. Second, though there is a NEW bag of pins in the set, the tracks also have pins in them. This is somewhat puzzling, but I do have a MINT 6333/99 accessory set in my personal collection and it has the same configuration. In fact, the pins are placed in the tracks identically--same sides, etc. I am sure this is the way it came from the Schuco factory. So, you are getting the pins in the 14 tracks, PLUS the 15 bagged pins!

Factory New Yes $395.00

24 Page Color Manual in FRENCH!

Click here for pictures

I believe I have seen maybe three of these since I have been collecting Schuco Disneyland monorails. One is in my collection, one may have been on Ebay, and the other I am offering to you now!

The English version of the 24 page manual is considered very rare, but I have owned at least 5 of those and have seen several more go for incredible prices on Ebay.

This manual is in Very Good condition with the only fault that I can see is a crease in the first three leafs, pages 1 thruogh 6. I see no other marks. I'll let you study the pictures. If you collect rare Schuco Disneyland items, don't pass up on this one!

Very Good No $225.00

Blue 3 car Monorail

Second Generation

Click here for pictures

This is a nice running blue monorail. It has its flaws, but overall will look great buzzing around your layout!

I'll let you take a look at the pictures, but will point out some of the flaws. First, as usual, the shades of blue do not match. The back and rear cars are sky blue, but the front car has faded to that turquoise color. Some of the lettering is fading on the skirts, and some of the words are missing on the decal on the rear car. All this can be observed in the pictures.

This monorail has the plate weights in the front and the tail fins on the back. New wheels have been installed, and it looks beautiful while in operation. If you want a blue monorail to operate and not have to worry about chipping the paint while doing so, this will be the one!

Good No $195.00

6333/0

Red 3 car Monorail

First Generation

Click here for pictures

Need a starter monorail? This is the one! I'm marking this red Mark I monorail down to FAIR only because of the front unit. It has some cracks, the silver paint on the noise has been painted, and the bolster has been broken and reglued. The middle and rear cars are actually not too bad. There is some rubbing wear on the skirts, but the paint is pretty good.

Remember, this monorail does NOT have the weights or the rear tail fins. It runs great and looks good in operation. The windows have all turned yellow, but they are all the same color.

I'm going to let you look at the pictures and decide on this one. I have never offered a monorail for so little! Worth the price in parts alone.

Fair No $99.00

6333/0/2

Click here for pictures

Red middle car. Very nice red paint with a minor knick on the silver paint. Windows are white. 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 $50.00
6333/0/2

Red middle car. It looks like the Schuco factory got something oily on the shell before painting this one and the result was a "crackling" of the red paint on top. This shows up well in the pictures.

Still, if you need a middle red car, it will look okay while running around the track. It also displays fine in a set box since the paint flaws are on the top portion of the unit.

Fair No SOLD!

6333/0/2

Silver middle car with a few paint bumps on the silver paint. One skirt has quite a few scratches and slight faded on the red stripes. Windows are yellowed. Good No $40.00

6333/0/2

Silver middle car with some scratches on the silver paint. The red stripes on the skirts are fading on one side. Possibly some small rust spots on the other skirt. Windows are yellowing. Not that bad of a silver middle car. Good- No $35.00
6333/0/b Possibly one of the hardest parts to get for the Schuco Disneyland Monorails! This is just the bolster, no middle car. With this piece, you can add another middle car to you monorail. All original. Excellent+ No SOLD!
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 over 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

 

 

Did I mention one FREE Pin with each track?
6333/1

Loose Used Straight Track/Brass. It takes me at least 15 minutes to clean one track, sometimes as long as an hour! Most look like new, but sometimes there is some oxidation on the steel connecting tubes, thus the reason for the GOOD to LIKE NEW range.

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.

Sure you can buy cheaper track on Ebay, but expect hours of cleaning and probably some unuseable tracks with the lot. I don't think you will find cleaner tracks than the ones listed here!

Good to Like New No

1 -10 tracks: $8.50 each

11-20 tracks: $8.00 each

21-40 tracks: $7.50 each

41+ tracks: $7.00 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 Loose Used Straight Track/Brass. These tracks usually have the connecting tubes smashed or extremely rusted, but are still usable. Fair No $5.00 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 at least 15 minutes to clean one track! Most look like new, but sometimes there is oxidation on the steel connecting tubes, thus the lower grading.

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.

Sure you can buy cheaper track on Ebay, but expect hours of cleaning and probably some unuseable tracks with the lot. I don't think you will find cleaner tracks than the ones listed here!

6333/2 Box of ten pieces of curve/brass track. Track is in Excellent condition. The box for these is crisp and the insert inside is also in great condition. There is no warning label pasted on this box, and the description label has the printed words of what is inside, but not the picture. Someone has marked .80 on the label. This is some of the nicest brass track you will find in a great looking box! About as close to picking a 50 year old item off the toy store shelf as you will get. 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 and you get them anyway. The end label has the description of what is inside the box, but does NOT have the picture of the track. Overall, box is in Very Good shape and is crisp. The cardboard insert is present, but one end flap is loose, but still there. There is a ".50" price written very small on the end label. Excellent Yes $90.00
6333/2 Loose Used Curve Track/Brass. These tracks may have roughness on the plastic and/or the connecting tubes smashed or rusted, but are still usable. Fair to Good No $5.00
6333/2

Loose Used Curve Track/Black/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.

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!

6333/26/1 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 wheel 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! 100% original.

Note: Schuco made two versions of the side weight plates: solid and slotted. Please indicate which you prefer when ordering.

Fair to Good No $80.00

Weights for the newer style of monorail motor housings. Come with wheel 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! The difference between these sets and the ones above is that the wheel brackets are reproduction and the side weight plates are original.

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. This could possibly mean a 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--Plus a guarantee that they will work when you get them! Not even Schuco did that in the 1960's!!! Good No Sold Out
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 still look really good. 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 pylon included, plus a guarantee that they work when you receive them. 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, plus a guarantee that they will work when you get them. I don't know anyone else who will do that! Like New Yes $75.00
6333/26/2 Special pylon for above units, but also can be used by itself on a layout. Scraped up a little. Fair No $1.75
6333/26/2 Special pylon for 6333/2. The gray plastic used by Schuco begins to oxidize over time, turning to a yellow shade. If you are trying to match a shade let me know and I will try to help. 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
6333/26/3 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. THESE ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND!!! The paper used to make the bags is becoming very brittle. Though the plugs are MINT and stapled in the bags, the bags have tears in them. If you are even thinking of stocking up on some of these, I would buy two or three now while they are available. Mint Bag $38.00
6333/26/3 Wire and plug for #26. No bag Excellent No $33.00

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 SOLD!
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 instead of the picture. A fairly common label for this item. Like New Yes $20.00
6333/27/3 Super nice extension cord for the block signal. Yes, there are some melt marks on the gray plastic from the chemical reaction of the black insulation. I am pretty sure this is brand new. Box has the nice label with the picture. Like New Yes $25.00
6333/28 Manual block system switch. You can plug one #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 $20.00
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 $30.00

6333/41 (3059) Controller for switches, but in yellow plastic. I believe this was also a part for Schuco Varianto. Sometimes Schuco would stamp the monorail part underneath, but this one does not have the stamp. Very Good No $13.00

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. Boxes have a lot of wear on them. Very Good Yes-labels have edge wear. Boxes worn. $40.00

6333/46 Reverser for AC operation-yellow plastic. Probably more of a collectable to say you have one then to actually use it. Very Good No $10.00

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
6333/48 Red wires wrapped like those that came in sets and as shown in the single sheet Schuco parts list. These are original Schuco wires so if your slot in your set is just missing the wires, the #48 and #49's listed here will make your set complete! Mint No $30.00

NOTES on PYLONS

Over the years, the gray plastic used to make the pylons turns yellow, even brown. This is due to the oxidation of the plastic over the years. The yellowing is really evident on some pylons that have been in sets for years. The part exposed more to light and air will be yellow and the bottom part in the insert will be gray. It is difficult to list all the shades, so I am no longer going to attempt to do so. However, if you order multiple pylons, I will try to match them as well as possible. If you are trying to match a color, I will try to help you with that also. My suggestion is to exchange photos or even send me an example.

You should put a pylon in at least every other track. So 100 tracks would take a minimum of 50 pylons. I would suggest no more than a 25mm incline or decline for every two tracks, though several Schuco layouts in the manual show as much as 35mm difference. Most of the pylons can be stacked, like Legos, so you can create almost any height imaginable. For example, two 25mm pylons stacked together make a 50mm pylon. A 45mm and a 40mm make an 85mm. I like to cross over or under with a minimum of 50mm of clearance, so if you have 85mm of pylons above (a 45mm and a 40mm stacked together), you can use the 35mm pylons on the track below.

6333/61 15mm pylon Excellent No $3.00
6333/62 25mm pylon Excellent No $4.00
6333/63 35mm pylon Excellent No $4.50
6333/63 35mm pylons in a checkered box. There are 10 per box. Excellent+ Yes $50.00
6333/64 40mm pylons Excellent No $5.00
6333/64 Ten 40mm pylons in a checkered box. Each pylon still has a price tag on them! One of the best boxes of 40mm pylons you will ever find. Just like you would find them on the hobby shop shelf back in the 60's! Factory New Yes $55.00
6333/65 45mm pylons Excellent No $5.50
6333/66 80mm pylon Excellent No $7.00

6333/69 Loose Rubber Foot for pylons Like New No 75 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 the feet are in newer plastic bags. One of the few boxed items that I will give you a price break for getting 100!!! Like New Yes $70.00
6333/69 100 rubber feet as above, but there is some tape on the box. Like New Yes-fair $60.00
6333/69 100 rubber feet in a box. Three of the original bags have survived, though they are extremely fragile. The other 70 rubber feet are in new plastic bags. Like New Yes $65.00
6333/69 Bagged Rubber Feet--10 per bag Mint Bag $8.00
6333/70 Cone or pylon tip. Same plastic that the pylons are made of, so there are various shades of gray/yellow due to oxidation. Excellent No 75 cents
6333/70 Cones in original cellophane bag-5 cones Excellent No SOLD!
6333/70 Checkered box with 50 cones! The original bags were so brittle that I just put them all in new plastic bags. One of the few items that I actually give you a price break for buying a box pf 50! Good Yes $30.00
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
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 unplugging 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.

110 volt Schuco monorail transformer. These are super hard to find. This one is in excellent shape. There is a black mark on the decal plate where the speed marks are indicated. This was probably a flaw in the printing of the decal and is very minor. I have tested all the outputs with a voltmeter and everything checks out perfectly. I am so confident that this transformer will work for you that I will guarantee it for 90 days. 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. Like New No $400.00

220 volt Schuco monorail transformer. This one is in nice shape. All original, has NOT needed repair. Though the 110 volt transformer is the toughest one to find, this one is getting tough, too. The box is beat up and has been taped. The insert is also there with the "220" stamp on the side. Also included are the original instructions. You are responsible for unplugging the transformer when you are not using it, but I'll guarantee that it works when you receive it. I'll even pay for the return shipping if it doesn't! Who else will do that with a nearly 50 year old transformer? Like New Yes- box is really beat. Includes cardboard insert $250.00

The only difference between this transformer and the one listed above is that the box is even worse than the one above AND THERE IS NO CARDBOARD INSERT. All guarantees are the same. You are responsible for unplugging it when not in use. I have checked out the transformers with a voltmeter and all outputs are correct. Like New Yes--box is missing pieces and beat. No insert. $225.00

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 10 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 $38.00
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. There is only one output on this transformer, and it is a DC variable one. I purchased these transformers as "old stock" from the store shelf. Like New Yes SOLD!

6333/0/22 Screw with triangular slot. Screw used to fasten side skirts. These are originals. May be rusty, have lost some of their shine, or are stripped a little. Fair to Good No $2.00
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 Sold out
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 screws were taken off of Schuco monorail units. Very Good No $4.00

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.

If you can make these, please contact me!

6333/0/32 Reproduction Rubber Wheel ONLY for tin capped wheels or Type A. Wheels have small round center hole and are made of a thinner rubber. You need 4 wheels for the power unit.

Mint Reproduction No $1.50 each or 12 for $15.00
6333/0/32 Reproduction Rubber Wheel ONLY for white or gray capped wheels or Type C. Wheels have a square hole and are made of a thicker rubber. You need 4 wheels for the power unit.

Miscellaneous
Schuco Classic Tin Toys BOOK "Schuco Classic Tin Toys: The Collector's Guide" by Chris Knox. The sticker price on this book is $29.95, but I have been able to find some brand new ones for about half the cost! This is a beautiful book that goes into detail about several of the toys Schuco made throughout its history. The pictures are fantastic. Of course, there are a couple of pages about the Schuco Disneyland monorails! This book, which is no longer in print, will look good on any coffee table. That is where our copy is! New No $15.00
Rail Zip This is the liquid electrical conduction fluid that I highly recommend for the monorails. A bottle of this lasts a long time. After 15 years of operating the monorails, I have just opened my third bottle of Rail Zip. I put a drop of this on each of the pickups on the engine unit and let it spread the Rail Zip around. Though it won't make up for not having clean track, once you clean your track (or simply buy it from me already cleaned), the Rail Zip will make sure the monorails get a good electrical connection with the track. Some collectors also use it as a track cleaner. I've not have had any trouble shipping this, even overseas, but it is a liquid. There is no toxic smell and it can be wiped up with water on a damp cloth! New Bottle $6.00
Perfect track cleaner/eraser I like cleaning the monorail track with this while watching TV. It is the best nonchemical way I know of to clean the tracks. Just rub the brass rails and soon 45 years of dirt and tarnish comes off. It does take some elbow grease to clean the tracks this way. The eraser has a hole in the middle which allows you to pass a brass rail through it and really get them shiney (and hot from the friction!). I spend a minimum of 15 minutes a track, and have spent up to an hour on some really grimey ones, but once it is done, you are pretty much set to go for several years with a simple rub down (either with the Perfect track cleaner or a good liquid track cleaner) every once in awhile. Nothing toxic or chemically, though you do get a lot of eraser debris after awhile. I clean my tracks over a towel, then when I'm done for the evening, I simply take the towel outside and give it a couple of shakes. New In a bag $2.00
The cost of shipping and insurance has really increased! For most parts and accessory orders, add $14.00 for USPS Priority mail, shipping, and insurance to anywhere in the USA. If you are just buying very small items, such as pins, Uclips, or reproduction wheels, shipping will be much less--probably less than $5. 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 $22.00. Amounts of insurance allowed varies from country to country. 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.
