I am a Rio Grande fan and purchased two with the large herald and 2 small herald. Sadly, ScaleTrains didn't put plows on the small herald like they did in HO so I'm going to have to add plows myself. I don't know what they were thinking.

Hi C Mastracci , I got all six of the Southern units. I have broke them in and all run fine. I’m like you I don’t know what happened in shipping, all but one of mine the foam was not in place. But no issues with the units. I’m very pleased with them. The slow speed is spot on. I’m going to use them for yard work and on the branch line. Scale Trains hit it out of the park again. Thanks for the update. Have a good weekend. Enjoy those GP30s because I’m going to. 😎😎 👍

Thanks for sharing. I got a pair my self. A UPb and a Rio Grande. The radiator grills in the rear are not see through because there are louvers that open ans close behind the grills. Love your layout. Love your work. Thanks for sharing.

The cab shades seem to be uneven.... If you do not run UP why not patch it out for your short line? On some of you older intro I saw an UP patched out. That would be cool. I model L&N they used a lot of GP 30's I under stand the use of the slug. Do they offer a undecorated version in low nose??

Losing videos is maddening! Honest reviews are much appreciated 👍

I mostly run CP/KCS/CPKC units. Out of my 49 locomotives, 8 are foreign. But I agree, if you like it buy it. Ain’t nothing wrong with foreign power.

Nice video. As for N Scale B units (other than FB units), Fox Valley did the GP-60M B unit. I have both the GP-60M and a B unit for BNSF Swoosh. I converted it to ESU LokSound 5. It was a pain in the ass to do as well. They're really nice but they bring the grab irons and visors in a baggie and one has to drill every single hole for each. It was not fun. Anyways, I spoke to ScaleTrains while at the New England Train show last month and asked them what happened to the Rivet Counter SD70 ACE they had announced early last year and they said these were Fox Valley molds which they discovered were incomplete so they had to cancel that. Also, BLI builds SD-70 ACEs at this time and it doesn't make sense for them. They did say they will more than likely make a Rivet Counter GP-60M available soon since they do have full molds from Fox Valley. That'll be nice. They also said it doesn't make sense for them to release more 4 axle locomotives since so many other companies already offer them. I reminded them those other ones don't even come close to Rivet Counter quality. We'll see. I hope they do more 4 axle in modern liveries though. This GP-30 would've been nice in BNSF. I know BNSF doesn't have them anymore but they did have them not too long ago in the swoosh livery. If you all go to these shows, don't hesitate to ask ScaleTrains to do modern 4 axles. I think the more people that ask for this, the higher the chance they'll do it.

What is the weight of those cars?

Thanks for the review of these cool 2 axle units. They are sure of my wish list.

Never had a slug in n scale does come pre matched with the a unit?

Ordered mine yesterday can’t wait !!!!

You definitely get the daily dose of iron with all that choo choo going on.

My thing is Since I don't currently have time / space / money for a layout I live vicariously through youtube and I keep a file on my computer with a list of things I've seen from videos and things I've known from the prototype that I would want to model if and when I ever have the chance to get a layout going. This way if something changes about my life I can go "Hey look I've already done some of the preliminary research for the hobby now I can just get going. Plus I have a Night shift Tech support job working from home where in among my work I use youtube videos as a means to help myself stay awake over night.

Ok thinking about adding a N scale train to my 4'/8' slot car table. I've done some research. I found a starter set I really liked. Then I kept seeing how great Kato was. Then I look and see that train set is 3 times the cost of the one I was looking at. I know you get what you pay. Is Bachman that bad? Like not worth buying? Thanks. Great video

Im new to the hobby, Im about to make a 4x8 or 3x8 n scale layout. what track and DCC would you recommend?

Can you share where you got all the scale construction vehicles?

Glad to see Rexie doing inspections...

You have the coolest kato n scale layout on RUclips! I’m inspired and my next N scale layout will be all unitrack! Whst do you think of the wye switch ? Thanks! George subscribed!

Looking forward to the GP30, I have the southern ordered.

we had train sets growing up but my interest in N scale started with an idea of putting a rail system inside my 1/144 scale Gundam diorama. its not a complete diorama more an ad hoc play space for now to brain-storm until i get more space for a semi permanent display. i just ordered up a Bachmann NS starter set i'm excited for it to arrive

Ordered one of those gp30’s in the rio grande billboard scheme today. Excited for my first scale trains locomotive. Really need to sit down and detail out all my KATO and atlas units.

When you removed the turnout, the surrounding tracks connected to it looked like they had moved out of place a bit. I’m not sure if you glue your track down or use nails, but did any of the other sections of track further away from the turnout shift a little bit out of place as a result of detaching the turnout from the rest of the track?

i'm jealous of all your space

Can never have enough scale trains in kinda jelly!

The scenery and scrap yard area and details look great !!! This is the part I enjoy as well. It’s looking great …. Take care Joe

Love the structure weathering!

From my list of locomotives I have, I have 4 Atlas GP30 in N scale.

Nice work on the scap yard..

that is not how you pronounce livery

I personally don't see the desire/need for a helix. Considering in N scale you only need a few feet to get proper elevation for a cross over @2% grade.
