That’s a very unique consist you have behind 2816. Makes her look like a true passenger steam engine from the old days. Good choice having her pull old fashioned CP cars. I also liked how the train station you mimicked a stop at is curved on curved track. Makes for a great shot. Well done Jimmy.
Yea. Mine came yesterday and I preordered the business cars. Hoping we can get the auxiliary tender at some point in the future to complete the consist.
@157RANDOM there is a company making CP 35508 close to actually Shipping them out "Milepost 93 Models" as of right now they aren't letting anyone order till they get through all the pre-orders once they have gotten all those done they will allow people to start ordering again
They are talking about possibly making the other one that is normally SP 4449's Auxiliary Tender as well but probably want to wait till this other is done
The 'Selkirk' whistle is on Function 2, the usual whistle function. The air actuated whistle is a recorded crossing sequence on Function 15 I believe. Timing the sequence for a crossing on a layout is tricky but the other option would be to have to press the button twice, once to activate the second whistle and once to stop it. In future I might try to adjust the sound set but for now I am satisfied.

Good to you for also putting a accurate looking passenger train behind it as well and not just subbing in Norfolk & Western cars
Thanks, Jimmy. Beautiful locomotive and terrific looking passenger train with it. I hope you love it. And it serves you well for a long time.
Mine should be coming in soon! Got the CP Business cars pre-ordered hope they plan to make more.

Was looking forward to seeing this first run! Looks and sounds amazing! Can’t wait to get mine and take it for a lap or twelve at my club!
Awesome, just plain AWESOME!!! 👍😎
I’m excited for mine to arrive today 😊
Same here! Mines out for delivery
man im going to be getting mine next week i cant wait!
Can you do a vid of opening the tender I would love to see what is inside.
What model was used for that Boxcar? I'm planning on making a custom for my 2816 but not sure who makes the best car for that
It's an Athearn Blue Box 40ft boxcar. I'll try to go into some detail about what cars I chose when I do a video about that boxcar.
Rapido should have put both whistles on separate Function buttons so you can alternate them.

what manufacturer are those passenger cars from?
I got them secondhand, but I believe them to be a mix of Athearn, AHM/Rivarossi, and Bachmann.
Nice video! Did you custom paint the boxcar and if so, where did you get the lettering?
I did indeed paint that boxcar myself. I made my own decal graphic and had it custom printed. I plan on doing a video on that boxcar pretty soon...
@@jimmylambert8709 I look forward to that. I got a boxcar to repaint the same way.
I need that lol.
