BAY 2 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Cool pictures love the train! Do you display all your figures at Christmas? I just started collecting I want to keep it small though not enough room to display a bunch. I love David Hamberger pieces but also like the movements of Silvestri Arts pieces, but I only have some of their smaller ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh 1 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Love it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darrid 37 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yes I do display mine. I have two old Silvestri pieces, each has 3 motors and the movement is a little different each time. They were made in 1959, some of my favorite pieces! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darrid 37 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I know there are several folks that do the outdoor settings, lots of waterproofing I would guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDarling 4 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 He only has them displayed for a week, but a lot of them are in rough shape. I was there this past Christmas, it's one of my favorite displays! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptChristmas80 0 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Man those Hamberger pieces are great, I loved seeing them in store windows, peoples houses, etc. do they still even make those? I'm dying to start a collection to set up in my garage for my display, or do a display house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darrid 37 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hamberger Displays was cold to Center Stage Productions in late 2004 early 2005. Center State discontinued the line last summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh 1 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is david hamberger still alive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darrid 37 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 No he passed away in the mid-80's. His son's Jerry and Marty took over the business and then it went to Jerry's son, Michael. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darrid 37 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think we need to give people on eBay a lesson how to spell Hamburger, they mess up my searches for Hamberger! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darrid 37 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Here is the before and during repair. I will snap a pic when he has been repainted and has been recostumed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh 1 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Was the latex rotting? What did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darrid 37 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Not rotting, just had so many holes and small cracks, vinyl spackling, it can be sanded nicely. Structural pieces like legs can be repaired with bondo or depending on the break fiberFix tape. I usually let it cure for a day or two and then reapply where needed. The entire piece will be air-brushed when I get done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
