Thanks stay loaded. I'm pretty happy to have the line clear of snow and ice and the trains running. Now I just need things to turn green. Talk to you Saturday at the live stream.
@@CanadianrailroadsCa sounds good.. hopefully I'll make it to the live stream on Saturday I usually get off late those days they need to change the shows back to friday lol take care
Thanks Aikenknees2013 Railway. I'm pretty excited to have my favourite locomotives in 1/29th.. :) If you are interested and free, there is a large scale live stream on Saturday where a bunch of us get together and have a good time. ruclips.net/video/n6zDcMyApPQ/видео.html
Thanks Mike. Still lots on the workbench, and planned. I have 3 more SD60f bases waiting for bodies, 2 more rotary gons, which will give me 7 out of a planned 20 car train, and I hope to start on a GP9rm/slug this winter. Retirement is busy. :P
@@CanadianrailroadsCa Well made gondolas, congrats! I have also made one since they don’t sell g scale long gondolas, but it is very time consuming to build one, I think I’ll settle for the one I made for now, LOL.
@@johnnypizarro4956 I certainly know that feeling. My last seven cars haven't been touched in months, and I currently don't even want to think about them. :)
Thanks Michael. Yes 5626-5800 were SD75I's. The biggest changes are removing 5/8" between the rear vents and tail, and removing the raised walkway on the conductor side. The following playlist includes photos of the build showing what was done. ruclips.net/p/PLhGj7xB62-u0I3W4iE1jS8uZKqO2V_hrS
Hi Shane; Awesome railroad you have there. And what stunning looking train lead by a pair of SD75I's [I think] . I see that you are still doing 'ride along' videos lol. James.
Thanks Scott. This pair of locos are the first I have used RailPro on, and I'll be using it on all future locomotives. They have a great sound library, and I like being able to kick in the dynamic brakes coming down the hills. All of my older locomotives are using Revo's, and will stay that way as I can't justify the cost of changing them over.
Never have I been so excited for a video :) Those two look (and sound!!!) phenomenal! Those remind me of trains I'd see on the Coronado, coke cars and boxcars on the way up, and then coke cars and the power turned around on the way back :P Great work Shane!!
Thanks Bricks. You'd almost think I planned on making it look like a short 557, though I don't know if that number still runs on your line. :P It will be nice to see them running once the yard turns green. I guess the only thing remaining to be tested is the SD40-2w. I think it and the 6028 will pair up to haul a short 512 up the Beamer. :)
Out of curiosity have you ever made (or considered making) some EOTDs for your trains? Those could be a fun little project! (Like you need any more of those :P)
Love that BC Rail hopper!!!
Glad you like it Darcy. I think I currently have four pieces of BC Rail equipment. Eventually I want to build a few of their boxcars.
That is a first rate conversion on the SD70mac to SD75I. Love it, looks and sounds great.
Thanks Anthony. These were my first locomotives equipped with RailPro. Their sound files are great.
Wow....great job young feller. I still can’t get over the sounds of the engines. 👍👍👍 so life like!!!
Thanks Chevy. This is my first time using the RailPro system, and I'll be using it on all future builds.
That opening night scene with the bridge is awesome!!! Really cool video and great G scale layout!!!
Thanks SunnySide Rails. Hopefully the snow will be gone in a few weeks and operations can get back up and running.
They look and sound amazing. Good job my friend.

Well done Shane ..The two units and the pike look great !
Thanks Sean. Just needs some green grass. :)
Well done...........!!! 👍

Nice layout!! Are those gondolas custom made?
Thanks Johnny. Yes, I completed 6 more of them this summer growing the train to 13. It will be 20 cars when complete.

What manufacturers made these freight cars and those two CN Diesel engines?
Jack, the SD75I's started out as USA Trains SD70MAC's. The boxcars are USA Trains/AML/Aristocraft, and the rotary gons are scratch built.
@@CanadianrailroadsCa how did they become SD75s?
@@alternative890 I heavily modified them. There are videos showing what I did.
@@CanadianrailroadsCa that’s so cool I may check them out!
So what cosmetic changes did you make that identify it as a SD75I...do the engine road numbers reflect that series....very nice models!!!

Any helpful hints on the CN and Procor gondola builds? Enjoyed your layout....beautiful.
@@Justfor1day Thanks Michael.

Thanks James. Yes, that's a set of my favourite SD75I's. I continue to work on trains, they're just a little smaller in retirement. :)
Needs weathering
You have to factor in that my railroad is based in the 90's.
Awesome!
Thanks E Brallier.
Great job on these locomotives! They look great and sound awesome! Now, I am seriously contemplating on switching over to railpro

I think that sounds like a very good idea! Yes haha, 557 is still the southbound, and 556 is the northbound! 757 would be the southbound coke loads.

@@AlbertaBoundRailfanning I just happened to collect some detailed measurements of one, so it may happen some day. :)
Hey shane would u wanna do a cn 5400 sd60 g scale
I have three more SD60f bases complete. :) The SD60 5400's may be a little too new for my empire.
👍💪
Thanks Thomas. I'm really looking forward to summer operations. :)
