I once met and spoke with Henry Dreyfuss, designer of the 20th Century Limited and much else, in the 1960s. He was a visiting professor at UCLA and our industrial design class visited his home and office in Pasadena. He was one of the 3 founders of the American Industrial Design Association (with Raymond Lowey and Walter Dorwin Teague). A very cordial gentleman and warm host. I still remember the visit as if it was yesterday. Wonderful times!
I’m jealous af
It’s very sad that he committed suicide
@@Leatherface123. wait really!?
@@bofan4513 yes I’m the 1970s he convinced his wife to commit suicide with him
@@Leatherface123. oh thats so sad such a great man to do that...
When you see a Amtrak at 80mph, remember that in the past were faster steam locomotives
David ii Amtrak was always slow
Apollo Gaming 43 plus more late too
CXR 2000 that too
David ii Yeah, well back then they didn’t have to limit at 79 mph so cab signals weren’t necessary.
Before 1900 you could get to Buffalo faster. And to Chicago? Way faster.
Narrator : "Right on time."
Amtrak : Wait, thats illegal.
nyc and me: u are ailega
Mario, NYC & me: nope you are illegal bruh.
People: Name the trains Amtrak has that are almost always on time. Amtrak: Acela service and Empire Builder on most trips. People: Ok and how many trains do you have? Amtrak: Too many to count
Amtrak is normally a smooth ride on where I ride on it, so it may just be the trackage
@@usstiger_cd4165 yeah
ONLY IF THEY CAN STAY ON THE RAILS
“...Right on time.”
Amtrak: What is that?
thanks to freight trains they'll never be on time
Caleb Rimer not their decision.
Empire Builder recently: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?! Almost every day, it's been on time recently.
@@jd0192 which is why passenger trains would be better off if operated by the railroads who own the track
An Amtrak Train I rode, Train #59 City Of New Orleans was 10-15 Minutes Late. However, When We were First going to get On to New Orleans, It was only 2 Minutes Early.
That scene of the central and broadway side by side would be the most magical thing to see in real life
Yeah, however it would have been cooler if that Broadway Limited trainset was pulled not by K4s (albiet a very nice looking streamlined K4s) but instead by a T1.
It would look a little odd due to the difference in size
@@swordkirbyfilms7747 Well, perhaps it wouldn't look so out of place if the 20th Century Limited was also pulled by a Niagara and both had a heavy-weight consist.
True that
My great great grandpa saw it
The scene as the Century leaves Grand Central is the best representation of the height of American railroading that I've ever seen.
A beautiful train, it's heartbreaking that none of the NYC Hudson's were preserved following the Dieselization.
I would give anything to ride on the Dreyfuss Hudson from NYC to Chicago
Well At least we got miniature models of it. Maybe someday they'll make it
Jev Way ahead of you! I’ve gotten in touch with a member of the A1 trust and he said he’d help me get started on a project for a Dreyfuss Hudson
Jev. Yeah. Like how they are re-building the prr t1
Yeah. All we can do is hope that one of these guys could be built from scratch.
There was 1 accident for the Dreyfuss Hudson. In 1943, #5450 was pulling the 20th Century Limited when it suffered a boiler explosion. All 3 crew members were killed, and no passengers were injured. The engine was removed from service and not repaired until after WW2 due to a steel shortage.
Where did that happen?
@@tomfields3682, the location is unknown if I recall correctly.
@@nathanielcruz6675 Hi Nathaniel, FYI I googled it and found out the explosion happened at Canastota, about 15 miles east of Syracuse.
@@tomfields3682, oh. Right. Thanks.
The scene at 12:06 actually had me say "that is so cool" out loud. Awesome model!
Today was the worst day ever, and this video single handedly killed off my sadness
sucks to here you've had a bad man
Same!
Railfan487 Well tomorrow’s Another day we just need to take it one step at a time
One word
Loafrin
This means to get everything out of your head that could cause you to have a bad day.
National Sarcasm Society thanks man I’ll remember that for next time
MY CHILDHOOD HAS COME TRUE!! THANK YOU TO WHOEVER COMMISSIONED THIS, AND TO K&L THAT MODELED IT AND RELEASED IT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And, very nice job with this. Enjoyed the jazz music in this one. Can't wait to get it soon. My NYC collection will be complete. :)
I agrre, although I coulda sworn that the whistle was deeper.
The 20th Century Limited departing NY with swing music playing, Dreyfus Hudson in all it's glory, era cars all along the tracks?!
This video, boys and girls, is possibly Americana heaven!
Hawkeye Ten wait for the Crescent Limited with Country/Blues playing while the glorious Virginia green departs DC bound for Texas
@Piotrek Kowlaski That'll be decided later. I am right now making animations as taking a break from making Trainz simulator videos.
Arrowband Inkling Why more Vu? Just don’t give him attention through those videos.
Now its about time for the 21st Century Limited to run
Excellent video. When I was 5 or so I was privileged to witness the steam locos, usually at Union Station in Columbus Ohio. I will NEVER forget the steam blowing in my face or the aroma of the smoke in my nose .Thank you ever so much for posting this wonderful video.
I travelled aboard 'The Century' ex Chicago to NYC in 1963. Easily one of the best train rides of my life.
"One stop is needed from here to Chicago" Jesus, these behemoth's were more efficient than i thought.
For sure
Better believe it, Steam power is no joke
Dat whistle though. *drools a little*
Bill Ratner's narration really ties this together quite nicely.
The Century Limited played a part in one of my favorite movies-“The Sting”. In a poker game where Paul Neumann hooks his mark for the big con.
I have no words to describe how amazing this is.
Your videos are out of this world just exquisite photography and information, Thank-You for going the extra mile, You're an asset to Trainz!
YOU ARE THE BEST TRAIN BUILDER FOR TRAINZ AND N3V
20th Century Limited departing NY with swing music playing, Dreyfus Hudson in all it's glory, era cars all along the tracks?!
This video, boys and girls, is possibly Americana heaven!
I don’t know about that. But thanks!
i mean kl does make the best quality models so yeah kl you are the best trainz builder
Beautiful whistle
True but it’s not the most accurate
It sounds more like the K&L Trainz Pete Marquette 1225
I LOVE seeing trains running parallel to each other on multiple tracks, especially passenger trains!
U sound like u know not a lot about trains
Narrator: The 5450 has the train really moving as she pierces through the darkness
Amtrak: Y-Yeah I had my train running at a crazy 10 mph
What a wonderful bedtime story about the world most finest american locomotive to ever run in the 20th centurie. Thank you for makeing my night.
Good idea
Excellent video! And an excellent addition to Trainz :-)
Hello, Joe
Thanks!
Approach Medium hi joe
Approach Medium can you make a NYC route? I’ll download it :D thanks!
Fact: 5450 Was actually a "Super Hudson" with the Centipede tender and it was also Non streamlined.
YES!!! MY MOST FAVORITE STREAMLINER!!! YOU ARE THE BEST DUDE!!!
:D
Roundhouse Warrior thank you for subscribing good sir
Your very welcome friend ;D
Mine too
Same
That race scene between the 20th Century Limited and the Broadway Limited made my day.
One of the main reasons I wanna build a time machine and go back in time is to see this with my very own eyes.
Trust me I’ve been wanting that too more than anything. Hell I would even give up everything I have today to go and stay there forever
@@261fan I would wanna take my son too. This is one of his childhood favorite trains. He is sad that they’re extinct. As a kid he thought that they were still around. I honestly don’t blame him with the sadness he has now. I would wanna raise money to build one, would you join in?
@@saxonaudio I would put money into it until I was broke
@@261fan what! UNTIL YOUR BROKE?!
@@saxonaudio I want one of those things back in this world so bad I would do anything
In the last scene pulling into La Salle Street Station you can clearly see the Chicago Board of Trade annex which was built in 1982.I worked in the CBOT building until I retired in 2020
I am so glad you have brought this beautiful train and steam locomotive into Trainz, Steve. 👏😁
This is just fantastic. The production quality is just top notch. Incredible work.
This is not only an amazing showcase for this intricately made dlc content, but a wonderful documentary about the trip the century made while racing between New York and Chicago!
Man, train travel used to be incredible, classy, and on time in America. What the hell happen?
Amtrak is a shell of what train travel used to be like.
Eisenhower messed it up with the Federal Highway Act and the coming of the Jet Age
Democrats.
1:45. Platform 34 3/4 is right there, straight through that wall.
YYEEESSS!!!!!!! Finally we have a good NYC 4-6-4 J-3 Hudson (Holy Crap that was a lot) 20th Century Limited for Trainz! I am definitely getting this!
I'd love to be able to return to that Era for a day, and take that trip!
The scene with the broadway limited and the 20th century special was my favorite part of the promo
Yes! DREYFUSS!!! Been waiting for weeks!
I hope you add the L3 Mohawk #3001.
And maybe some others.
The Mohawk is already In Trainz.
So it would be kinda pointless.
@@RandomE60 If you mean the old model, then yeah it is in Trainz, but K&L is remaking the L4b Mohawk. I was saying that I was hoping that he would eventually add a Mohawk that still exists in preservation today. The 3001 is an L3a and it is one of quite the handful of Mohawk classifications. But now that K&L is remaking the L4b, then I’m not hoping for the L3a anymore. Idk why you think it is pointless, K&L did make a mega pack of the same type or class of locomotives before, he did it with Reading T1. But I get your point.
I've seen so many B&W photos of the streamlined Century. So, to see color video of the Century is almost unreal. I really enjoyed it.
Love that whistle on the Dreyfuss Streamliner Hudson.
what a masterpiece. to be half british damn. thats what i call good american content. good show old chap.
All I have to say is wow, just wow. This is probably the best video you've ever done. And this Hudson just became my all-time favorite model you've done (Besides the Class A 1218). The passenger cars make it even better
I'm very proud of how this production turned out. I started almost 6 months ago on it and finally got down and dirty with in about 3 weeks ago. I'm beyond happy with the results. I've grown quite fond of this trainset after working on building them. It must have been a sight to see for sure! Theres been talks of an EM1 with a customer, so you never know!
That hard work paid off for sure. You deserve every compliment you get. These models are just incredible and once I get Train Simulator, I'm definitely gonna consider getting some of these. May I ask which game do you use for these videos (Which version of Trainz)?
@@railfanjackson4531 It's listed in the Credits at the end. Trainz: A New Era with the SP3 update.
Thanks.
The 20th Century Limited was the premier passenger train of the old New York Central, rivaled only by the Pennsy’s Broadway Limited as they battled for dominance over the New York City to Chicago journey. Although none of the Dreyfuss Hudsons are preserved, the train’s legacy lives on in the form of the observation car from the 1948 consist, the Hickory Creek. And I know you don’t have any plans to make it yet, Mr. Lerro, but I look forward to you eventually making the Empire State Express, not that I’m asking you to.
This was the true height of civilization. I'm a PRR modeler, but this is just plain beautiful.
Glad you enjoy the beauty of Art Deco! It truly fit the bill of modernization.
I love American trains and the New York Central is one of my favourites
“Right on time”
Amtrak: is that some kind of personal attack or something?
What a great video. Thank you so much.
Do the NYC J1es including 5344 which is my favorite Hudson of all NYC J class Hudsons!
Beautiful model as always merry Christmas ;D
Is this a dream or what!?
This video still deserves a million views.
Used to work for the NYC in GCT in the '60s. The decline of rail travel was showing its effects and many of older railroad employees that I worked with used to refer to the 20th Century Ltd as th 20 cent limited. BTW, by then the big trains were hauled by the ex-Cleveland Union Terminal motors. The third rail is under running. not over running.
There's more for freeware:
Missouri Pacific class N-73
B&M 4-8-2 class R
Western Maryland class M-2 & J-1 locomotives
B&O class EM-1
Joey French nope
must be new to K&L
Again thank you so much for letting me use it! Wanna be informed if it comes out? (It will be for a realistic take of. Thomas the tank engine for cannon what if the Hudsons survived.)
K&L trainz you have done it again! Thank you so much for the awesome and most realistic trains for trainz simulator! Also I can’t wait to see the MILW S3 Northern and the GTW Northern and many more Steam locomotives you’re going to make in the future as well! And I can’t wait to get the train as well keep it up and keep on steaming down the tracks!
Just beautiful ! thanks for sharing Wales UK.
Very Nice. Back in 1998 the Adirondack Scenic RR took on the 20th Century’s paint Scheme that was cool. Which they kept it instead of the new colors.
Great video presentation. Thank you.
This is why Trainz is the best Train simulation platform.
The moment someone figures put time travel,im going back in time to the day the hudsons were streamlined getting myself a ticket and riding it in back of the train just to finnaly exsperienance what so many did back in later 1939 to middle 1945.
Narrator: “… right in time!”
Amtrak: “I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!”
I have been to most all these locations , dude you nailed it again . Well done !!
Another fantastic model!!!
This is a fantastic train and fantastic narration really brings the spirit of these trains alive! Keep up the amazing work on the models & Videos
I started writing the script for this promo back in May, a few lines in, I knew the perfect voice for the job!
Awesome engine steve! Just fabulous job!
Fantastic work as always K&L Trainz!
this was another outstanding video this has giving me a more liking to the nyc Hudson's (i've said i started to like the niagara's a bit more but now after this i now like the hudson's more) it's really a shame none of the j3a dreyfus hudson's were saved from the cutting torch (unless a group could make a new one just like the prr t1 trust with the 5550) there's lots of steam engines i wish were saved that didn't make into preservation (at least we have the models and simulator games to keep the legends alive)
Dude I can watch this every morning while eating cottage cheese I’m getting mad vibes from it man I love it
40nd & seventh avenue? OH YEA'! Ya' wanna see It NOW!!
Btw love your channel I can’t imagine the time that goes into these videos and you make it look so realistic.
Videos like this one took just as long to make as it did to make the models themselves. A lot of research and reference material goes into these, as well as planning ahead for getting narrations recorded. The narration track was written 2 months before I even started the project, and the audio was recorded a few weeks before I even started making the video.
@@KLTrainz : You have made such beautiful imaging. I wonder how, and I have a guess which says "advanced filtering and redrawing systems". Well done!
All in all, I have to say that this video is excellent, and you did a phenomenal job on the streamlined J3a class 4-6-4s.
I, personally, am more a fan of the 5 streamlined J3a class that had Boxpox drivers, so I was hoping to see that variation running. That being said, #5450 looks absolutely wonderful, so I can't complain.
Also, I noticed that the Hudson pulling the James Whitcomb Riley out of LaSalle St. Station is Hudson #5445 (the first of the streamlined J3a class). So, out of curiosity, why isn't she streamlined? I'd just like to know.
#5450 had the unfortunate distinction of being the one Dreyfuss Hudson that had a catastrophic boiler explosion while pulling the train in the early 40s. So I decided to use it as the locomotive for this promo to give it some justice, just so happens that 5450 is the first of the 5 Dreyfuss Hudsons that had the scullin disc drivers and roller bearing rods. 5445-5449 had the boxvox drivers. A version is included with the set. For the time that this promo is to take place, I don't believe the Dreyfuss Hudsons were assigned to any other train besides the 20th Century Limited, I could be wrong through. I figured that's why you see the nonstreamlined engines throughout the promo.
@@KLTrainz First, thank you so much for responding back.
Second, thank you for that information regarding #5450. I had forgotten that, and it's always good to learn more history.
Third, I am aware that #5445-5449 (the first 5 of the streamlined J3a class) had Boxpok drivers, and #5450-5454 had Scullin Disc drivers. I just appreciate the aesthetic of the Boxpok drivers a little more, but I do respect you for giving #5450 her time in the spotlight.
Fourth, I think you could be right that the Dreyfuss Hudsons weren't assigned to any other train besides the 20th Century Limited, but I'm no expert on that. That being said, if I understand the facts correctly, #5445-5454 were delivered in their streamlining, and (with the exception of #5450) they kept their streamlining until after WWII. If that is the case, then I'm still a little confused why #5445 is shown without her streamlining in the promo. [I'm not trying to be annoying. I'm just very attentive to details, and I'm trying to understand this.]
@@razgrizaceblaze259 I obviously didn't pay attention to what numbers the non-streamlined J3a's had in the video. My older J3a's have auto running numbers, including the 10 the Dreyfuss' had, so it by coincidence it randomly assigned that engine one of the Dreyfuss' numbers. Guess it's too late to change it now lol.
@@KLTrainz OK. Well, that explains everything now. Thank you for helping solve that.
Still, I think you did wonderful job with both the video and with the streamlined J3a class.
Do you think there is any chance we might get a quick little video of one of streamlined J3a class with Boxpok drivers in action? If not, that's OK. I just figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
Great video and you did a wonderful job depicting the 1938 Century and Dreyfuss Hudson. However I did notice one small inaccuracy. At 10:52 you show track pans at Conneaut, OH. Conneaut never had track pans. The closest track pans to Conneaut were located some 40 miles west in Painesville, OH. The NYC had track pans at Rome and Tivoli, NY and Lydic, IN to name just a few locations. Thanks for all your hard work. It was a pleasure to view.
According to the NYC's listing of Trackpans between Harmon and Chicago, Track Pan #12 was located at MP. 545.1, and notes it was 5.0 miles east of the Conneaut Station in Springfield. That's why the narration said "approaching" Conneaut. Here is an image of what I used for reference: i.imgur.com/jbIeod5.jpg
This is a documentary, not a promo.
but its promoting the engine by showing it in action
@Joey Sa he meant it as a joke seeing as it told us about the train
I may be a Frisco fan... but... EVERYONE START SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!! 8D
REEEEEeEEEeEE
Would love to see K&L Trainz eventually join the Train Simulator 2020 scene, if they built some models for the train sim they would be awesome. These buildings for one are beautiful, and the cars.
Would love to have all of these in Railworks.
That would be me. Train Simulator needs more steam locos especially US steam. There is only like 10 American locomotives compared to the huge amount of UK content
This looks like a must-get!
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Now, Heres my suggestions for whats coming in the "Mystery Spot":
CPR 2816, (PLS)
OP&E 19 MEGAPACK ( P L E A S E )
Southern or NYC 4-8-2 (Maybe)
and of course:
N&W K Class Mountain (We need one)
Hi jack
Hi jack
May want to check the list now and see if you were correct lol
@@KLTrainz Lol, Like I'm not surprised. xD
The J3As were nicknamed “super-Hudsons” right?
Matt the Terrier I thought so, I’ve heard that they had a tendency to bend their rods because they were too powerful. An interesting problem
@@CoalChrome They actually brought the boiler psi from 275 to 265 at one point because of that, same with the Niagaras. Those lightweight roller bearing rods don't handle well under extraneous horse power.
@@KLTrainz guess we found out why the UP never used them. I guess the N&W folks just knew how to ease in the Js, also they weren't on constant throttle.
I got a question, weren't the whistles deeper than that? Also, I request the NYC 2-6-6-2 mallets, didn't they have a couple Shays as well?
The J3s were so good, they had to be nerfed
Gotta love them presentation's and narration.😶
Also, AMAZING! 😆
Have y'all thought about making documentaries because y'all are very good and very informative with these short ones
I'd love to! But these 15 minute ones take weeks to prepare for and execute. Can't imagine what would be involved in a full length hour long one! Or if anyone would even watch the whole thing!
@@KLTrainz mark 1 made train documentaries that long and I watched them and i know yours would be good to watch
@@KLTrainz I would watch the whole thing, like documentaries
Hey I subbed you
@@KLTrainz are you sure about that ?? If they would look like this I would even wach them twice .
50 points to who ever knows what song these lines are from
[The pride and joy of the NYC]
[Hudson engine full head of steam]
[My heart starts pounding as I climb on board. the bell starts clanging an her whistle roars, nothing more exciting for a boy of three]
I loved this video. If I didn’t know better, this could be a real video with comments on a real excursion
Steam Locomotives are iconic.
That was totally fantastic!!!
This makes the song "Streamlining" from Thomas and Friends"the great race" pop in my head
An epic! Amazing work, guys.
great job on the NYC 20th Century Limited 100/10
can't wait for more streamliners to add to your roster as well as more projects. (and sorry about the future project things to everyone I'll stop now)
I got to say that the Hudson J3A Dreyfuss is one of my favorite steam trains in the world.
The 20th century limited and the pennysilvanian railway goes neck-n-neck racing to Chicago luselles st. Hahah
But the tenders have 2 different ones
Nicely done!
Really well made video, thanks for your work!
8:59 made me think about what I missed out on😣 I’m happy with this video but kinda depressed knowing I missed all that
Excellent documentary showing good explanations and information needed.
Very well done !! I feel like I just stepped back in time. Great music throughout, as well.
BEYOND AMAZING VIDEO K&L TRAINZ!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!! :D I am sorry I did not find your channel earlier. :D
There is one remain of the hudsons and its at steamtown, they have a tender that was from the hudsons u can go see for yourself, sadly the engine was scrapped and the tender is what remains.
Yeah, it was converted into a steam generator though. It does retain its original number, though.
0:21 I remember Bickford's in my Queens neighborhood, great pancakes!
Ooooh... a mystery locomotive in the making on the project tab on the website.
It’s probably the Q2 that got held back.
Matt the Terrier You could be right, but still the Q2 that has been put on hold has to appear at some point. K&L should make more articulated steam locomotives.
HELL YEAH LETS GO
I never even started the q2. It was on the project list and came off almost as quick as it went on. Nothing was ever started on it. Too many people had commissioned items and paid for them, so there was no sense making them wait for me to spend 2 months making something like the q2 that only a select few people would want.
K&L Trainz that sucks 🙁 I was really looking forward to it. A shame most rail fans would rather see “famous” steam locomotives made by you added to your site. However, I am willing to wait for something that would take 2 months to make.
due to the Century's scheduling for it's end points of NY and Chicago, it ran through Buffalo on an overnight schedule. Buffalo Central Terminal was not a passenger stop for it. The train was serviced in Buffalo however.
Didn't stop in Rochester either. Just blew through the station.
12:03.
NYC: “YOU DARE OPPOSE ME PRR!”
