Very nice! That is one brutal locomotive, for sure. It has a very good whistle and a decent bell. I t will be cool to see it run on your layout. I don't have any type of Command Control locomotives on my layout. I have a Rail King Ps-4 Pacific and a late-model Lionel GG1, but both are conventional. I do have the Cab-3 App on my phone, so I can run trains on some of my friend's layouts. This engine would really look good on my layout, which is still in the mock-up stage. I have two of the three mains running and I'm just waiting for some more O72 and O54 curves to come in, to complete the third main. The outer loop is O96, with some O72 mixed in. An excellent video, as always.
@@johnandrus3901 Thanks! I am conventional as well. I'd like to do O96, but I have an obscure track system. Guess I could try some Menards track for wider curves?
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk They have O96. I mix and match different curves, to get to what will fit. The big outside curve is O96, the one before that is a combo of O96 and O72, which brings it down to about O82-4, somewhere in that range. Just use equal pieces of each, with the wider curve starting and finishing. 2-4-2, for a 180 degree curve. This works well with O72/O54, also. Gargraves also sells curves, I think even wider than O120.
@joeystrains.9316 Thanks! Never thought I would own something like this, but Southern Pacific. Truly was a good price. $700 to my door and was NIB. Can't complain....
My jaw hit the floor!! I’m blown away!! Matt, that baby is gorgeous, it looks so streamlined with the top of the boiler. I love it! What an absolutely beautiful locomotive! That horn is incredible! I know exactly what you mean when you can say this could be bad for me! 😂 This is a major score! 💯❤️😎
Thank you sir! I was truly blown away by this thing. The only other articulated I have is a cab forward like yours, which is going to look good running around with this one.
Beautiful loco Matt!! Man that thing is gorgeous!! The world of command control is a dangerous place 😂😢, but opens up a whole other level of model railroading! The details and sounds on that are incredible! Can’t wait to hear it run on the layout! Congrats on the score! 🚂😎
I think the Base 3 is coming out very soon, to run the Lionel models and the WTIU is probably going to be the way to go for MTH. The older MTH DCS TIUs have ridiculously high asking prices right now along with the older Lionel 990 CAB systems. I have a WTIU on preorder to tinker around with and try to figure out.
@huntercoleman460 I think they are just more focused and really take pride in their craftsmanship. Plus it's a Democracy as where China is China. I think it is the attitude of the worker. If you're proud of your job, it reflects in your work.

I love this locomotive!
It really is a nice loco. I love the semi-streamlined looks of these.

What a beast. That could probably drag my entire n scale layout around the house.
That's funny!.

Thats one epic locomotive! I dont own anything like that,...yet😂. Southern Pacific nerd I am.

They will look incredible going around together. My Cab Forward needs a new board bad, none of my lights work. Thanks for the shout out Matt! 👍
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains No problem! Thanks for helping!
Any time Matt! 👍

Wonderful train , the top hatches are especially cool!
Yeah, I was really impressed with the detail. These die cast models really are rivaling brass these days. Thanks for watching!
very nice engine hope you enjoy it and new sub -Brandon
@@LawsonRailway Thanks! It is a runner....
@@UncleSalty-nz5ukThats cool but that whistle sound is what has me pulled in i love that sound 👍👍
Nice engine. What are the Silver Diesels I viewed on your train layout?
CB&Q E-7s
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk thanks, they are awesome looking.
Is your channel named after the Aerosmith song Matt?
Actually my nickname from when I worked at Budweiser
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk why they call you that?
@@huntercoleman460 Because that job put me in an extremely bad mood.
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk did you like my Lionel CNW ACF hopper Matt?
@@huntercoleman460 I am driving to Nevada. I'll let you know tomorrow
Incredible engine Matt.
Thanks Hunter!

@@huntercoleman460 Better quality control for sure. Better build quality as well
