Glad that you liked it.

In the Civil War Era is that the sizes varied a lot and many were home built by the railroads instead of car builders. My understanding is that 40 foot car was a long one. 30 foot cars were closer to an average size but they could be even smaller. I recommend John Whites book "The American Railroad Freight Car" for plans and to get an idea of what they looked like.

@@roberthubal6278 Any leads?

@este_Pandy_Projects I don't. But perhaps if you call the railroad office. Or find out where it is at, you could contact someone there. And explain your situation.

@@roberthubal6278 Good idea. I’ll have to look more into it.

@@JoshuaTheTransitProdigy Very cool. Thank you for that follow up!

@@este_Pandy_Projects You're welcome. It was easy to tell based upon the consist of the Vermonter and I lined it up to what time it possibly was when you caught it.

@@nolantherailfan5048 You are correct. I don’t think I said they had them but maybe that snuck in

@@w.rustylane5650 Yes. It is O scale. That is my favorite scale to model because the scale conversion is so easy. I thought I had mentioned it but I seem to miss things according to many of my comments. This one was an early video. I should start posting those again. They are fun to do. Your projects sound great. I really do enjoy 19th century as a subject as well.

@@RyeT5 Genesis are made by GE.

@@este_Pandy_Projects sarcasm cause you said "alstolm p32"

@@RyeT5 I don’t know why I said that. You are right. I know they are GE. I first saw them back in the 90’s on one of their first assignments on the Autotrain. They had a speed blur stripe and they were called AMD-103. It was a dumb mistake in my video.

@@wazzo8527 Thanks for watching.

@@PatricioGarcia1973 Metro North has wrapped two of their engines in a blue and yellow scheme. Conrail and Penn Central. It was possibly one or the other of those.

@@almarubio9436 Thank you. I agree. It is always fun to see one restored and in use.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't planning on this one but the opportunity just presented itself and it is such a fun little line. I love the change from rural to urban on this one.

@@este_Pandy_Projectswhy did sicence rd get a ebell

@@jabrown04 I guess they swapped over when they serviced and repainted it.

⁠@@este_Pandy_Projectsits cause commerce st and science rd in Norwalk mechancial bells were old

@@jabrown04 Cool. Thanks for clearing that up.

I completely agree. Thom has done an amazing job on this. He is always working hard to make it better as well so it is not just static.

I’m not sure I understand.

@@este_Pandy_Projects I love your video. 👍🏻 💡The voice in the video sounds like Dr. Greer who has appeared in several interviews and documentaries discussing his work and hypotheses regarding extraterrestrial life, and government cover-ups. There are numerous videos of his work on RUclips.🙂

@@xqxiv1559 Thank you. I will have to look him up.

@@este_Pandy_Projects 👌🏻

Thom modifies these extensively so they run better. Also he puts a lot of work into researching the decoration. These are always tricky because of the limited pickups

Don't forget the M8.

@@c9917k My bad.

Yes also M8

Don't forget about the M9AS for metro North railroad is definitely gonna to replace all the M3AS on the metro North. Including the chargers for metro North and the Long Island railroad.

@@leecornwell5632 yes absolutely get those final runs.

@@JSquaredJJYT Oops did I misspeak? I would not be surprised if something dumb creeped in. Thanks for keeping me honest.

Hi Carl! I have been to the Nowen Train VillageI went before it opened to the public. I even met you there. I spent a nice day with you and the owners visiting the exhibit and their factory. I can’t wait to see the finished version. I would love to visit the factory again to see what they are up to.I hope you are well and I’m sorry to miss seeing you again this time.

@@este_Pandy_Projects We had a pretty good visit when we met. Sorry I won't be there this year when you go. If you make it to the factory, you will probably get to see the new layout being constructed. They are building it in sections like the first one and will move it into the new building addition when it is completed. I'm hoping to be there to help them again, but have to wait until my grandson's HS graduation before going over.

@@carlsktx That’s great! I do hope to get to visit them again. I had a great visit last time. Congratulations to your Grandson. Graduation is always a big accomplishment.

I’ve always been a big fan of Metro North. Most of the track they run on is the most beautiful in the country. I also like that some of the older cars still have individual names. Very old fashioned but fun to see.

Thanks Thom.

Haha well Madison if you want to go to Long Island.

Thanks I don’t know why this is so low. Every time I think I have it figured out something like this happens.

@@este_Pandy_Projects must be your headphones then?, because they can be tricky sometimes. The best thing that you can do is record your audio directly from your phone, the mics are pretty decent for beginners and it will help you a lot. Secondly, you need to constantly watch the audio levels on your editing software of choice, ideally you need the audio to peak on 6-4 DB. Almost at the top for a clear voiceover.

@@Santiago-lb5md That's a great trick. Thank you so much. The edit software I am using has green yellow and red levels. I was trying to keep it in green mostly but when I transfer to YT it gets so quiet.

@@este_Pandy_Projects yeah, that happens, that's why the audio should be at least being somewhat yellowish and at the levels I pointed!, good luck on the next video!

@@Santiago-lb5md Thank you. Great advice!

Yes you are exactly right Vince. There is a new park there that is perfect for watching any train moves up the Oak Point Link. Sadly I have only seen it happen through there once and I missed the shot. I have been following the construction of that building because they said they were going to save and display the Erie gantry transfer crane but that seems to have not happened. At the very least the indention in the shore where the barge came in is still visible.

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed this. I’ll be sure to visit again this year. Every year the display is a little bit different.

The engines of the time seemed like they were operated by a single crew. Since it was "their" engine they took some real pride in it and kept it clean and the brass polished. Engineers did things like commission landscape scenes painted on the sides of the headlight. These were the high tech plaything of the day so there was some show off quality to it.

I have always enjoyed the difference of the 19th century railroads versus later eras. It is certainly unusual to see a whole layout following it. I guess the more people try it the more manufacturers will offer it. I am slowly finding enough equipment to make one but it is slow going.

Thank you. I will pass on the compliments to Thom. You should look up ACWRR historical group. This is a SIG that focuses on this time period. They have monthly or so Zoom meetings.

Awesome. You will have a blast I'm sure. There is so much to see. The public transit is amazing and worth exploring as well.

Thank you. Hello to Tracy Mountain Railway. Colorado must be nice this time of year.

Haha. Yeah I doubt that would work. All my filming was done in stolen moments in the middle of operating. I was running as a one man Train crew. Car Cards, Pocket Watch, Clipboard, Pencil, tweezers for the link and pins, DCC controller and the iPhone to film. It was a real balancing act. I was amazed to get any filming in.

Yeah I completely agree Thom’s is really a beautiful layout

Thanks Mike. It was just so strange I had to share. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Oops. You are absolutely correct. Also I said Metro North actively uses it. That is not true. Also I called the body of water between Randells Island and the Bronx Arthur Kill and not Bronx Kill. At least I only said that once. Thank you for your attentive viewing

Interesting. I would like to see that operation. I’ve always found rail marine operations fascinating.

Yes I felt really lucky once I figured out how to connect. It was great to get a chance to see where some of my trains actually came from. The owner was very generous with his time and really went out of his way to make me feel welcome.

Yes it is really wild to think of it like that. It was intended for WW1 but was not quite done in time.

Thank you. I like visiting hobby shops wherever I travel and I thought it was interesting to see so many in one place.

I will happily admit I don't know all of the nomenclature. I'll change the title to avoid confusion. Thank you

Thank you Thom. I have always loved the idea of Rail Marine Ops. It is pretty unusual to see it done today but in the past it was pretty common in New York Harbor. As you know the first attempts started in the ACW days. It would make a nicely contained layout.

Yes I agree it is wild how much rail traffic used to come directly into the city and how many industries were rail served now it seems to be the exception rather than the norm.

Yes it is possible to walk around inside the train. There is nothing stopping you from changing seats or going to different cars. Honestly you could barely feel that you were moving so quickly.

Absolutely. I agree and if it hasn’t already it should be. I can imagine people jumping balcony to balcony to escape the baddies. I has long been a favorite of mine ever since I first saw pictures of it. I have tried to get in to see it before and been turned away. This time it just worked and I’m so happy it did.

Very cool. I absolutely agree. It is a wonderful layout and Ill pass the compliments to Thom.

Thank you so much. It is my pleasure to share. I had a great time.

It was very hard to get a good view of that layout t was so popular. Amazing modeling. Thank you so much.

Wow. That is neat I didn't realize you modeled that aspect of the service as well. That is really neat. What a cool feature to include. Great work. Fantastic modeling and research. Thank you for sharing.

When would you recommend. I’ll probably post them this weekend.

Oh good@@este_Pandy_Projects , so you did get them on video.

@HumancityJunction Sure did. Still wrapping up the editing.

Yes. I have learned that filming makes one Myopic. What a great event

There is so much to see. I am positive there was plenty that I missed. I feel like it would take a week to really see everything.

Yeah, the show is huge! I've been there the last two years in the MRC booth with brief escapes to look around and still have yet to really explore most of the show!

Nice. I hope you had good sales on your new product. I have heard interesting things about it. On the other hand a busy booth means less time to look around.

Sadly no sales at the show but it's generated a lot of interest which is just as good I think even some people who cont use MRC products are interested in it which is nice

Thats awesome. Getting the word out and generating some buzz is sometimes the way to get to where you want to be. I was hearing people talking about your new stuff.

Wow. I think you are right. Nice catch. It looks like I even caught it with my pan shot. I guess as New Yorkers you get a bit jaded about them. I know I don’t flinch unless they are heading right towards my feet. Rats are just taken in stride as a part of nature that you just deal with in your own way. Another part of life to watch.
