Restoring a Lionel (Williams) Standard Gauge 381E

I found this a few months back for a great price, and considering how long I've wanted the 381E, I just couldn't resist! Even though it's a reproduction, it has some age on it from decades as a display model and needed restoration. I think I spent about 20 hours fixing up and polishing each little piece, but it was worth the effort!

Regarding the audio quality, I did the best I could with it, but my editing software just refuses to work with me anymore. After more than a dozen crashes over the course of a week trying to process it, I decided to just take what I can get, and I'll be looking into new software to make better videos going forward.

EDIT: End of the video was silent for a while because of a copyright issue. YouTube finally got a new track that was at least close to what I was originally wanting, so that takes care of the silence!
