Thanks! Nice job on reproduction
Thank you and very kind of you Gabe!!
You have truly matstered both crafts- videos and classic model train repairs/restorations.
Thanks always for what you do.
Thank you very much :-)
33%'er here. I remember when I first saw you on Bill's YT channel. I know we've mentioned this, but the haircut and beard trim made you look Ten Years younger.
Mr. McCurdy is absolutely right!
Many have said that. Guess I'll keep clean shaven
:-)
33%er here, nice job on the remastering. I've been with you since nearly the beginning, and this came out much better than the original. The added background makes it come alive, along with the nostalgia of the old roundy roundy layout. I love the new point to point layout, but I still miss the old one.
Hello Stephen, Thanks for your input and support of my channel for all this time. Seems a lot of fellers really liked the old layout,
Lived in Pa for many years and we always called it red-ing railroad!
No matter I enjoyed the video
Thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Ron I am getting better thanks to your videos in restoring locomotives too.
That's great!
Cool remaster series video and excellent repair. That beard was wild! Nice to see your old layout too.
Thanks John
Good Job. You are a great repairman! I need practice. Train Show next week here in N. AZ
Thank you. Trains are cheaper if they dont run and you can fix them up ya know :-)
Just love the old layout!!!
3rd Feller to mention that. Guess the next bigger layout is going to have to have some features of the old first one
I literally just watched your first video ever again the other day! I sure do miss your old layout and when you would let the trains run around when you were through fixing them up. Either way always like and appreciate your videos! Hope your having a great Sunday!
Thanks Jason for the input. I always wondered if people enjoyed the train just running
I do miss that layout. It was nice to see yur work go completely around none stop
If I had enough room to get behind the layout I would have kept it. Couldn't reach the wall side for derails
Cool video Ron. Hey, ya know the motor in those things grounds through the trucks in the tender, right? So take those trucks apart and clean/polish the axle ends, clean the axle pockets in the truck and add your favorite conductive grease. If you're not doing that you don't have a good ground. The difference in performance can be surprising.
Thanks for the info Jim. I agree with you completely
Great tunes. Went back 3 times to listen. Good job
Thanks Mark
Another great video. I have watched some of the older videos and really enjoy them too. Well good to know I am one of the 33% viewers. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John
Thanks for the re-master Ron, great video…love the Movember look, clearly a winner…cheers from Canada...
glad you enjoyed it
Keep on rockin' love the music and trains .... awesome.
Thanks Patrick!!
I always eyed this little sucker on your shelf in every video from your channel, glad to see it finally get some spotlight👍
Yes it has a tendency to stick out among all the other locos for sure
Wow, that was a pretty cool layout that you used to have. Great video, I remember seeing that steam locomotive in real life back in Chicago. My uncle worked as a switch tower guy for the Illinois Central so when the freedom train came through Chicago, he let me pull one of the switch levers at the tower when it came through the yard.
That would have been pretty cool to see and do!!
Swede here as well Ron, though I have enough English and Dutch that I can grow a beard, my father however 100% Swedish could not. I have about 6 Tyco Pacifics in various stages of repaint and disassembly. Will get to the some day, soo hopefully. Glad you went back and remastered this one!!
Thanks Erick!
As much as the vibrant and bold Chessie System paint scheme looks good on diesel units, I have always found it to be silly on steam locomotives. Colorful steamers can be done. Southern with their green locomotives. Southern Pacific with their Daylight. All of the British and European locomotives with very striking colors.
That Chessie scheme on a steamer just never worked for me and obviously the paint scheme itself was created after the era of steam had long since passed so even when it was used on a steam locomotive it was a diesel paint scheme that was adapted to a steam locomotive.
It makes for a very colorful toy though and if that draws someone young or old to the hobby, it's a good thing.
Good job re-working an older video to make it something that you don't get demontized on.
I really enjoy your content and always look forward to seeing what you will be working on next.
The real Chessie Steam Special steam loco looked quite attractive in its livery but the Tyco and AHM/IHC Chessie steamers do look quite gaudy compared to the real one. I always liked the Chessie look on diesels.
Thank you. The real Chessie Steamer was not as loud and gaudy to look at
The tender pickups on these locomotives I feel have always been the source of issues, iv been putting rivarossi wiper pickups on these tenders ,that usually helps with picking up power
Ive never had problems with the tender pickups but I do put some extra weight in them
Hi Ron. Good chatting today. Good to see the remix. The shave made you look younger. That old steamer set sure looks good, and good to see all the working accessories also. Keep up the amazing job.
33% er here. Cheers.
Hello RS, Just finally getting around to answering comments. Got all the parts in for that Amtrak so I'm gunna have to get to fixing that as well
@@classicmodeltrains Hi Ron.I saw all your storm videos, wow you got hit.
Just watched you last video and you mentioned no Internet. You have a lot on your plate. I'm not worried about the Amtrak, I'm not going anywhere. Take your time and get caught up on things. We be cool.
Well done Ron, another makeover video done, with a fresh coat of knowhow.
Thanks
Wow, just like Spielberg and Lucas - "Director's Cut" is a nice update. 👍 And yeah, losing the beard was a good call! Lol Anyway, thanks for not ruining the ending!! 😹
I really debated on using some C.G. on some of the town scene's ;-)
Hey Wow! At first I thought the video was to be about a Remastered tyco 4-6-2. But still enjoyed that you remastered the Video! Great Job! I saw a Baltimore Ohio locomotive and a Chesapeake locomotive along with the Chessie one you fixed.
Hey you know your 33%ers want to watch these videos about fixing and running trains. Heck with them ol algorithms !
I do have a video of a remastered Tyco pacific thats re-powered and DCC with sound :-)
Nice remastered vid Ron. Please KEEP IT UP!
Glad you liked it
Love your channel keep them up it's great that you fix stuff that somebody bought for probably a kid and he played with it until it broke down can you come by and fix a great job it amazes me that you can fix stuff that small keep it up brother
Thank you James
Great redo of the video. I truly enjoy your videos. You give me inspiration. Thanks for sharing 😊😊
Thanks for saying that James
A good refresh of a great video. Thank you for bringing it back to your channel. This is in my collection, so this will be a good one to look back at again.
Thanks!!
Thanks Ron the old layout was kind of better but thats OK it's your Happy Railroading line, 33% × 3 and third! Good solid channel I Say! Great Work
Thanks 👍. The old one I could not get enough modeling of buildings on it
You've come a long ways, Ron. Keep it up..
Thank you number 1
Well done Ron.Thanks for the great effort!
Thank you!
Hi Ron & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Ron & Friends Randy
Hello Randy! Glad you liked the video :-)

Thanks Greg
Hey Ron, Love that train set!
Me too One of my favorite liveries
Great video Ron, keep em coming, I'll keep watching .
Thank you Bob!
That is a nice set! And a great remaster.
Thank you Darren
Cool.
:-)
I can't wait to see them!!!! 😳
the remastered series? about 6 more planned
@@classicmodeltrains NICE!!! 👍
Hi Ron, learn lots here with your fixing of things. Thanks. I see you’re selling the estate trains on eBay- at least I think it looks like your stuff. Would be interested in either the Athearn blue boxes or Accurail stuff if it’s you selling it.
I haven't had anything on eBay for over a year
You did a fine job here,,, other than tyco's system 200, this was tyco. Dream set. Only JC penny could do a smidge better. What I would like to see you do is come up with an original box for this set.....as the size of the box would be great to see, as tyco had those flat boxes. Most dealers would on ly get two or three of these to a master box.....great job... More of these please....😊
there's 6 to 7 more video's slated for remastering.
I do like the layout plus running session and wish you still did that. You were right about the beard I was waiting for you to break out a duck call. You should work on that locomotive again and check the wheel gap and friction of the worm gear to the drive and make it run better. Great video or should I say do-over, lol. Jersey Bill
Thanks Bill for your input and your right that worm gear might be set in a bit close
Nice job Ron
Thanks
Hey Ron got 2 of those Chessie locos
Right on! I hope they are good runners for you!
My Dear Viking Friend: it’s been a pleasure to follow you during the last 32 months. Your videos are amazing: they’re funny and very informative, and they’re getting better. Please continue in these tracks!
Ron, let me ask you again: how about put new magnets in the beauties like this one, comparing their performance before and after the change? I’m asking you to do this ‘cause the price of the new steamers is “little less than too much” as the Master would say. An old girl with an enhanced motor could save some good dollars for someone that want a steamer running on his pike.
Thank you, once more, for your great work!
Hello My Friend Regis, Just sitting down on this Monday catching up on comments. I have a lot of catching up to do, do to the storm that knocked us out for awhile. Your idea about the better magnets is a great video idea that has been green lighted. I have that incline track I made for that "RUclips shorts" video that provides a good way to measure strength. I just have to sit down and produce the video.
Very nice
Thanks John
Very nice makeover vid! I like the music that you use there! Btw 33%er here!
Thanks Matt
I really like that restored train set. Thanks for sharing the "remaster" series.
Glad you enjoyed it
Norwegian/ Swedish and from my cousins to the south German. I too have problems wirh growing sideburns. Amazingly enough if I'm with blond people my hair looks blond. When I'm with a redhead my red hair shows up. But from a distance it looks auburn. Go figure.
By the way, awesome runner.
Ugh ..... My mom had some american indian in her .... I cant do it either 🤣
@@XBOXShawn12thman In highschool some people thought I was Indian. They called me Cochese. 😆
@@normfredriksen1381 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks :-)
Thank you for sharing.👍
Thanks for watching!
I may have missed it, do you have a camp site on your layout? Have you thought about building a funeral train? Not many posted videos of funeral trains. Seeing a funeral train is memorable and sad. Seeing the damage some of the engines in the lash up makes one wondering the crews survived.
This layout maybe did. I have one on the new layout. it might have got its start on the old layout awards the end
I think you could get them to creep if you broke them in for ten minutes or so, WOT, on some rollers. Get the brushes seated, and the gears meshed….
Another great job of making something old, new again.
I agree with you there Scott, run time needed for sure
Model of the week.........Sasquatch😊
I can never find a female version of those
Hey Ron you ever thought about doing a set that’s aged like sprayed to look rusted or even have rail cars have the graffiti on them I think that would be be neat to see
I dont care to much for weathering and graffiti on trains. some Fellers do but I like em shinny
25% Norwegian here. When you get older, your hair stops growing where it used to grow and starts growing in other places. 😂.
I dont really like them rules ;-)
A ride down memory rail lane…lol..looks good..remastered..lol
Thanks Thomas
now that i remastered watching the video. am i now a 66%'er??? at least many of the new kids on the block got to see it in action. see you next time.
:-) Glad you enjoyed it
Hit the brakes!!!! ...... Ron vanished!!!! ..... I hope he comes back 🥺
:-)
After turning sixty, the hair on your ears, your eyebrows and any hair you don't want will grow long. The hair on top your head will stop either all over or the old male pattern baldness. Such is life. I know you do not live on the east coast and I am not making fun of you. When you pronounce Reading as if you are learning from a book, no one I have ever spoken with in PA says it that way, including people from Reading. The only way I have heard people say it is "Redding" as if you are colorizing something red. Hope this helps. It may not be the correct way according to Webster but he never lived in Reading. 😃 You are lucky to have a Hobby Shop that is close by. Hobby shops have a tough time making ends meet in modern times. So few people put up a train garden any more. A local fire company stopped with a group of individuals that would set up every Christmas season and these people loved doing it. My local shop sold his inventory and closed shop. Gone are balsa wood kits for RC airplanes and most of the RC fuel engines in favor of instant gratification with the electric ready to fly planes made of styrofoam and other lightweight materials. On a different note, Fisher Body Craftsman Guild was discontinued in 1968 where young modelers would build a replica of the Fisher Body Coach that was the emblem on sill plates of many GM cars. The Guild tried to get the younger generation involved in designing new vehicles. Now it is all done with computers. I love model railroading even though my display is on hold since I moved here in 1996. One day, I will get it working again.
I got a lot of flack for pronouncing it read-ing. Thats how us midwesterners said it on the monopoly board. I know know better and say in red-ing. Yes its sad how times change and the youth have different pastimes and no developed skill sets. Makes ya wonder whats life gunnel be like in another 50 years
@@classicmodeltrains Scare, especially in the dems take the presidency this time around, very scary. I miss a good hobby shop. Even the suppliers have dried up.
I like to hear the trains run not music. So if it was me I would cut out the music 100 Percent.
I used music in my earlier video's, so when I re0do them I want to keep the feeling the same. my later vid's dont have music in them while the train runs
One Time or Another I am Gonna Get me a Boatload of engines And Fixe them.
sounds like a good plan
When Your Into model Railroading and You want to Learn To Fix Different Engines There ya Go.
A lot of play value in those old Tyco sets. Less 100% prototypical, and more action. Maybe they need to bring that back to entice young 'ns to join the hobby.
They need to do something for the young-uns thats for sure
