Thanks for sharing, it took me away for a while👍

[@mslickstrains]

That diesel looks awesome

[@kiscofallsrailroad]

Those plated Santa Fe passenger cars are really something else.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Michael! MTH did a great job on them.

Thank you Patrick!

[@samsogaugetrains8670]

Over my short time of collecting I have enjoyed collecting Santa Fe named models! You have a wonderful collection of Santa Fe items!

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Sam, it's been a bit of a goal of mine over the years to collect the huge variety of Santa Fe models that are available.

[@brendanstrains9725]

that is a cool lionel 3751!

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Brendan!

[@brendanstrains9725]

@@wcmodelrailroad I love the whistle on it. Older lionel tmcc engines are fantastic. They are good quality and will last for a long time.

[@wcmodelrailroad]

@@brendanstrains9725 I can tell you right now, I'm a huge fan of TMCC from the 2000 - 2007 era. About half of my diesels are all TMCC from that era and they run like clockwork.

[@brendanstrains9725]

@@wcmodelrailroad nice! I have a few tmcc engines and they have given me no problems. Besides my k line Shay. The chuffing on the older engines are fantastic then some of the legacy locomotives.

[@train-addict4656]

Nice equipment ,.I have the MTH E8 and f3s with the plated finish .
I wonder if someone will continue this , a big fan of this finish with Santa Fe .

[@wcmodelrailroad]

I agree, I really hope that plated finish continues. It really adds something extra.

[@train-addict4656]

Love The M&M Pod !

[@wcmodelrailroad]

@@train-addict4656 Thank you!

[@koltengrider5210]

Great video! I have fallen in love with your layout! If you don’t mind me asking what are the dimensions of it, and what is the minimum curve? Keep up the great work!!

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Thank you Kolten! I appreciate you watching and the kind words. So it's 12x5 for the most part, and it's an L shop so there is small area where it grows to 7 feet in width at the end. My outer loop is O48 which allows me to run a lot of engines believe it or not. The inner loop is O36 and the top Subway loop is O31.

[@koltengrider5210]

Awesome! Truly a prime example of the many things you can accomplish even with a smaller space than most O-Scale modelers! You’re an inspiration!

[@jfmoone]

Choo choo!

[@thatconservativetrainguy3864]

Pfffft imagine liking atsf when great northern is clearly superior :)

[@thatconservativetrainguy3864]

But I do really like those pretty dl109s

[@wcmodelrailroad]

Or you can just like BNSF and get them all :)
