    Great video Ron. The Casey Jones museum has his home right next to it. I have had the privilege of going to that museum several times, in fact I used to live within walking distance of it. For those that are able to go check out the museum in person, make sure and hit up the Old Country Store and Buffet. Its right next door and is good eaten.

    When you opened it up and no wires were connected... Hey! It's one of them wireless units! 😁 I run radio control off-road racing cars... we always have to manually set the gear mesh between the motor pinion and transmission spur gear. I do it by getting a strip of copy paper and put it between the two gears, then mash the gears together, tighten the motor mounting screws and finally remove the paper. Perfect mesh. Beautiful locomotive. shame about the paint, I probably would strip and repaint someday. Boiler needs to be black and the smokebox gray. Well. that's my preference! Thanks Ron!

    I bought one of these static kits to go on a lamp base (project pending). As I remember the model was available as RTR, motorized kit, and static kit with an optional power kit available.
    Rivarossi/AHM. also offered a kit of the Indiana Harbor Belt 0-8-0 switcher, but I don’t remember much about that one, caught my interest though. That was one huge switcher! You should be able to get the marker lights as investment castings from Precision Scale, if they are still in business, along with the hand rail stanchions. The pilot support rods and hand rails were to be formed from brass wire supplied in the kit. It’s really too bad that Rivarossi decided to enter the rai kit market so late. I could see all sorts of locos and rolling stock that could have been a great hit on the hobby market. As a side note AMT also produced a 1/25th scale model of the General, that was one beautiful kit, I think about the same time as when the Rivarossi/AHM models were released.

    I spent months hunting down the HO model of the Casey Jones engine for a price I could afford, so I've managed to learn more about the models than really anyone ever should. I've seen this in the background of some of your videos so I'm glad to see you finally making a video on it. So far I've found the HO ones can be very temperamental but great once they've been given some attention. I don't even like O scale very much but I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about getting the O scale model as well.
    If I'm not mistaken, the two holes in a line (going with the length of the engine) on the left underside of the cab are for some time of tank for what I'd assume is the brakes. The missing bits of the smokebox are the front numberboard and and grab irons. As far as I can gather, the real engine would have been painted black, of course I don't know for sure, but it definitely looks nice with the grey smokebox/stack. If you need any information on the models, or want reproduction parts I'd be happy to try and 3D model some for you to try out on the big guy.

    • @classicmodeltrains
      @classicmodeltrains  Год назад

      I would like to scare up the Gilbert HO Casey Jones. I believe this bounced around in a box for many years and lost some of its pieces. Sounds like the kits are pretty common but the power / motor portion is difficult to obtain. I'm probably going to be putting this up on eBay along with others to raise some funds for more broken loco's. Thanks for the 3D printing offer!!!

    As memory serves “the Wreck of Old 97” and the wreck that claimed the life of Casey Jones are eerily similar. Both men had just completed their assigned runs. Were ask to violate DOT (the it would have been ICC) rules, taking trains not assigned to them and get things back on schedule. The engineer of 97, an all mail train had made up almost all the delay when the locomotive left the rails. I believe the freight that Casey rear ended was an “unscheduled train” and hadn’t cleared the switch when Casey came upon it.

      Thanks John! Never was much of a Dead Head, so I guess I skipped right over their name. On 3 rail O track, only the center rail is insulated. the two outer rails are conductive with each other so If this was set on 3 rail no power would get to the motor.

    The Rivarossi O gauge is uncommon especially the European stuff which had more variety, Lima also did 2 rail O gauge that was similar and had a lot more rolling stock available, they only offered it for a few years but the variety of stock available was awesome. Rivarossi Made more steam locos than Lima Did in O though, lima offered 1, Rivarossi offered at least 5. Pola also did O gauge as Pola Maxi, Roco did O as well and all of them sold stuff O gauge stuff to AHM and Atlas. Pola just rebadged their German Diesel shunter and Tank locomotives for american railroads, and paired with them with undecorated german rolling stock in sets.

    Livery wise probably go with Rivarossi, they usually get the livery pretty close. Casey Jones story s amazing because he is seen as a hero when in actual fact he was a fool. Possibly the IC thought highly of him because he drove his locos fast and didn't pay much attention to the rather scanty safety rules of that time, BUT if he had driven more sensibly he would not have crashed he had been warned that a freight would be going into a siding to clear the road for Caseys train. All he had to do was drive that section more slowly. As it was he went fast , didn't slow round a blind corner where the spur into which the freight was being switched was located. The only guy for Casey was a hero was his Fireman Sim Webb who was ordered by Casey to jump off the speeding loco. he survved and lived until at least the late1940s. Model Railroader tracked hm down and interviewed him about the crash, I think they also met Jones widow. Casey had according to the song been asked to recover some crazy amount of time with his train, not minutes but many hours. At the time he had clawed back an hour or so.
    other companies had hodoo engines. one on the Great Northern railway in England was involved in a high speed crash in 1906, no one has ever come up with a plausible reason for the crash, afterward the engine never steamed or worked as well as the other similar engines, until it was reumbered and moved to another division over 20 years later, those drivers didn't know of it's history and found the engine very satisfactory. Vaughan, is pronounced Vaun or Vawn in English. But then you ain't in England so it could be Vorgan. I keep telling myself not to get a Casey Jones when I next see one, but I might. Those Rivarossi motors all look the same. My AHM/ Rivarossi y6b Mallet would pull 56 US cars on a layout with steep grades 30" curves and a size so small the train was always travelling thru 180 degrees so the caboose went north while the loco pulled south. I have 3 of their Berks, they don't look as good as the proto 2000 ones but if ever get a layout where they can run I am sure they will haul a whole lot more thanks to those Italian mechanisms.
