Did you found a NYC Hudson Tender behind NYC 3001.
Yes, the Hudson tender is still there behind the Mohawk.
@@schmidty390 I KNOW IT YOU found it and would you ask a Crew to restore NYC J3a Dreyfuss Hudson 5406 please.
@@maxwellwalcher6420 only the hudsons tender was saved not the entire hudson itself
Looks great . Nice work , a lot of time and effort there
Thank you! Rolf did great work.
Love the sweeping curves!
The curves are great and designed for passenger trains.
@@schmidty390 It's just a rarity to see such graceful curves on an HO layout, obviously due to space concerns. It looks like space is not a concern for this layout!
Wow! That's huge! Awesome!
Thank you. It's an awesome layout, and we hope to show more of it.
I am sorry to be complain but the people talking constantly and mumbling and hands reaching out to almost touch cars ruined this video of a nice layout for me. Jeez who does that shit when recording a youtube movie?
It was during an open house, so there are going to be a lot of people. Very little space to move around and shoot video. Plus, they are all talking which is ok.
I do ore trains , was cool to see the big boy pulling one and a healthy one
The members here do a greatjob here.
Aren’t these double decker South shore trains rare?
Not exactly rare just mostly used on weekdays.
My special needs son really likes the caboose hop with the steeplecab at 12:03!
Thank you the freight train was a special and favorite part of this event.
@@schmidty390 And thank you for your reply we appreciate it God bless you 🙏👑☁️🔥💧👍⭐❤🍞🌅🐑✡🤴🐏🦁🦅🕊🥀🎼🛡🗡✝️😇 John 3:16
I really like your layout I'm enjoying watching this layout
Thank you, this is the clubs layout not mine.
How do you join the group
We are a group check us out on our Facebook page Northwest Traction Group.
Ah yes- the sound of a dewirement (1:30). No matter how loud the show, I will hear that sound (Pdtdtdtdt) cut through.
Yes, our ears are definitely trained for it!
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚞🚝🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂🛤 especially antique streetcars 🚊and interurbans 🚋 like that one he thinks they are highly underrated forms of public transportation and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service carrying passengers between cities just like they use to.
We agree!
@@schmidty390 Well thank you for your reply we appreciate it and are glad you agree God bless you 🙏😇✝️🗡🛡🥀🕊🦅👑🦁🐏🤴✡🐑🌅🍞❤⭐👍💧🔥☁️🎼 John 3:16
Thank you; a very enjoyable little film. Love that car!
Thank you! It is a favorite at the museum as well.
Fantastic!
That's the paint scheme that I remember. I only saw them on the Evanston Express, so that's the line I associate them with. I remember saying to my late aunt that it would be cool to ride on an Evanston Express, to which she replied, "It doesn't stop anywhere!" Back then, it ran nonstop from Howard to Merchandise Mart.
Thank you for the story. That was the effect we were going for as many people remember the green and cream colors.
I would like to see a production house document your magnificent layout so the trains can tell the story really bring it to life.
I always think, Evanston Express whenever I see the 4000s. There must be a greater speed restriction at East Troy compared to IRM. I've ridden on the 4000s at IRM and they blazed along at full speed on the mainline, around 40-45 mph.
We purposely run 15mph as it's about the journey and not the destination while riding the cars.
@@schmidty390 Makes sense. Not all of IRM's cars go that fast. The interurbans don't go much faster than 30.
I wish I knew someone who could make my brass North Shore powered cars run, and run good. Nice layout!
Thanks for this. Box motors are the bee's knees and 228 is beautiful. Great job on restoration there.
Thank you very much. we are very proud of this restoration!
Get Little Joe out there running again.❤❤
They don't have one at East Troy
The Illinois Railway Museum 1 hour away from us East Troy volunteers has the South Shore Little Joe #803 while we have all the operational coaches. They almost never run it though because their catenary is meant for trolley poles and not pan operations. It is operational though.
My special needs son really likes antique streetcars and interurbans he thinks they are highly underrated forms of public transportation and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service carrying passengers in city streets and between cities just like they use to!
I agree this car was an early version of a UPS or Amazon truck hauling small packages. Thank you for keeping interest in the electrics!

Huh, these are commonly referred to as "box motors", but "merchandise dispatch" car has a classier ring to it! I live in the Northeast, I'd love to get out there to visit the museum someday. Thanks for the video.
We would be happy to have you come visit! Yes, Merchandise Despatch (British Spelling by North Shore Line) is a very unique title rather than a freight motor.
Beautiful. Look like 228 was recently restored. The 2-car train pulled by 4420 is gorgeous. I LOVE TRACTION!!! 🚎
Yes, the cars restoration was just recently completed. Thank you for the kind words.
I visited the museum last summer. It's cool seeing a place I recognize on RUclips.
IRM is a great museum with an amazing collection.
great job I finally saw what you and your lovely wife look like and perhaps you could give some clinics in the future likewise more trains than traction how about more traction or even the hobby out. they are getting into n scale too small for me and traction is the right size in any scale you don't need a farm to run trains or traction what happened to the o'dell module?😀
ruclips.net/video/FZ1zKW8zI3o/видео.htmlsi=IWwaHhjrpO53dTD2 * THE TROLLEY AT EAST TROY *
I'm a member of quite a few railroad museums, from IRM to Fox River Trolley Museum, even Sea shore Trolley museum... Actually a bunch more, but East Troy is a real treat. The line, the history, even the lovely things to do at the different spots. Great place with great volunteers and great trains too
ruclips.net/video/FZ1zKW8zI3o/видео.htmlsi=IWwaHhjrpO53dTD2
I was the Conductor on that train!
One of the best!
4:58 there's me.
We were glad to have you riding!
I can never quite figure out why I LOVE traction so much...I just do. The 2-car, elevated train look fabulous, and I admire the bucolic environment the train operates in. Nice video. 📽️ 👏
I feel the same way the line at East Troy is very scenic, and the 4000s are great to ride and run. Thank you as always for the compliments!
My special needs son really likes antique streetcars 🚊🛤🚋 and interurbans he thinks they are highly underrated forms of public transportation and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service. He also thinks that all streetcar and interurban lines should be rebuilt and used again.
Nice collection of vintage cars captured here, including my favorite traction interurban coach, the Silverliner. 👉 16:15. I enjoyed the video. 👌😊
Thank you! It was a great day.
My special needs son really likes interurbans 🚋 like that one too he thinks they are highly underrated forms of public transportation and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service carrying passengers between cities just like they use to. He also thinks that the entire North Shore Line should be rebuilt and used again and the line between East Troy and Milwaukee.
I was on that trolley the first time I came here.
Awesome, it's one of my favorites out the museum.
F Unit(s) and commuter cars used to terminate a few blocks from my childhood home in Lake Geneva, WI.
I wish I could've seen that era of C&NW commuter service. But Metra F40s have still been great to watch.
1518 looks like a C&NW engine that ran the spur line behind my home when I was a little boy. 4 wheel trucks, high nose near the cab. What model number is this. Sure brings back memories from 60 years ago.
C&NW 1518 is a GP7, and the very first GP locomotive built by EMD.
@@schmidty390 Thanks!
Just a beautiful car. Everyone involved in the silverliner restoration deserves so much respect
Thank you so much for the kind words. The group that restored the car are top tier, and they have such amazing talents.
You're cinematography is excellent! As a traction fanatic, the CNS&M Silverliners are some of my favorite interurbans. The Silverliner you're showing us here looks great for it's age. The CNS&M railroad is my second most favorite traction railroad, the Pacific Electric Railway is my number one fave. I'm glad I have an HO scale brass Silverliner in my traction model collection. I enjoyed watching the Silverliner in it's beautiful surroundings.
Thank you so much. I try to get better with every video with the cinematography. I also can't agree more with you. The North Shore Line worked a miracle with the Silverliners. The Pacific Electric was absolutely one of the greatest Interurbans that existed.
My special needs son really likes interurbans too! He thinks they are highly underrated forms of public transportation and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service carrying passengers between cities just like they use to. He also thinks that the entire North Shore Line should be rebuilt and used again as well as the Pacific Electric and the Sacramento Northern but he does not want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality!
Hello, very nicely designed layout, congratulations and greetings, Toni
Thank you the Lake County Model Railroad Club has done a great job on their layout.
Very nice. Always fun to see steam. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I just wish I could've caught it more than once.
CP 2816 is one of my favorite steam locomotives. I am grateful to own an HO scale brass version of her from Van Hobbies/Samhongsa. 😊
She's a beautiful locomotive and was barely working when we saw it.
Not to be that guy but that’s a heisler not a climax, nice video though
Thank You
Nice video. I wasn't able to make it up for the meeting. Thanks.
Thank you, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it without being there.
Very nice. Been a few years since I have been to IRM I need to get back. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching. It's always a pleasure going to IRM.
Those orange interurban cars are beautiful...classic beauties. 12:45 And this "green" beauty is a traction favorite of mine. 19:43 I've been trying to get a Suydam HO scale brass version of it for several years (pre-owned of course). I'm NOT going to give up. 😊 I enjoyed the excursion trip even if it was just on a straight track. 😂
It was a great time and always a joy to ride on the orange cars. The class B was great to watch running, and it was my first time seeing it do so.
Wonderful. Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a great time to experience it!
Just curious what whistle is on #4
I'm not sure to be honest.
As usual, no action on the Red Island line. When I was a member, I would spend hours running and switching the branch line. Great club! LCMRRC has come a long way and is still going strong.
Yes they are doing a great job we were happy to see the layout and how great it is.
Awesome layout and equipment!! At around 19:00 on the video, there are quad diamonds on a curve. Are those four diamonds hand built?
Yes, a lot of the trackwork on this clubs layout in handlaid rail.
@@schmidty390 Thank you. I wanted to try hand laying track 40 plus years ago but never did. Now my eyesight and my patience tells me not to try.
Is the main station building the one Charlie Martin built?
This station model was built by Rick Plachter, the layout builder’s son, and is a heavily modified Walthers kit.
Thank you for the comments.
It's nice seeing the Midwest Lines Layout, Rolf Plachter's masterpiece again. I'm glad you revisited it. And excellent camera work as usual. I see you're chasing two trains, and at the begining of this video, there's a Milw. Rd F-7 hudson (one of my favorite steam engines) coupled to a long Hiawatha trainset, at 00:11. But, during the entire video, the F-7 is seen hauling only the Hiawatha observation car, famed for it's "beaver" tail-end. Is there a reason for that? I thought the Hiawatha consist seen at the begining looked great, especially with their close coupling which makes the consist look very realistic. I'm a little surprised the F-7 wasn't pulling the consist. By the way, is the F-7 a brass model, and is it from Overland Models, Inc? I have three HO scale brass F-7 Hudson Hiawatha steam locomotives from Overland Models. All unpainted. I hope to get, at least, one of 'em painted up and running on a layout similar to the Midwest Lines Layout someday. I enjoyed your video...keep up the good work!
Unfortunately, we tested it, and with the solid brass diaphrams, it's going to need modification to run around the layout completely. Hopefully, soon, we can get a video of the whole set running and not just the beavertail.
The F7 and passenger cars are from Precision Scale
I love the setup nice trains
Thank you!
