Great aquisition Art! Here's a little NYC passenger car lore, if the cars are two-tone gray with white striping that indicated the cars were air-conditioned, which I'm sure made a lot of NYC commuters happy! That NYC F3's quite prototypical for the Hudson River Line with those heavy weight cars, so don't worry about it. The 2-8-0 would also be prototypical for commuter trains on the NYC's West Shore Line in the late steam era when you might find anything pulling commuter trains. Pacifics were typical but Hudsons were also used on occasion, always it was "Power for the run," what ever was available. Thanks for posting!
@@ArtsModelTrains You're welcome! The West Shore's an interesting line to read and learn about in it's own right, originally the New York, West Shore & Buffalo it's kind of a forgotten NYC enterprise now. It's still there but now it's CSX's River Subdivision.
The passengers in my Dining Car have been sitting patiently at their tables for food well over 20 years.! 😲They didn't even complain when I had to cut their legs off so they would fit correctly. Royz Trains on line store has the set up you need for the tail car.! Observation Car is a made up term by the model train companys. I did mine a couple of years ago and it looks great. I have a video on his lighting system. Royz Trains. Nice video and layout by the way.! 👍😊
@@ArtsModelTrains Your welcome 🤗 Roy is the one that corrected me on the tail car correct term used by the real railroads. It’s a fun project.! Good Luck.! Have a great Holiday.! 😊🎄🛤
When I first bought an MTH subway train set the cars were empty. Now that might be okay in the middle of the night but I ended up spending more for passengers to fill up my Subway cars than for the subway cars themselves. I think all passenger trains should come full of people as they were in the old days when you could really travel on a steam powered standard car passenger train.
I was going to buy the people from an ebay store I bought my signals from wehonest. 30 people for $15 if I remember correctly. Figured 2 packs would be enough people.
@@ArtsModelTrains I bought about 10 sets of like the lifelike walking passengers seated passengers and I repainted some of them so they all didn't wear the same clothes. I like the larger size figures because ones like the hours to figures look more like a scale or 027. I bought a pack of seated passengers but they were all just like the size of teenagers. But they did fit in my cars on the layout without getting amputated. I pay too much for a figure to cut them in half.
@@ArtsModelTrains I just remembered after I set my comments Mike's train house offers a whole bag of unpainted passengers like 150 or something for like 30 40 bucks I just remembered that I bought a set and they were molded and gray plastic so I called up MTH and I told him they should mold them in fresh colored plastic because I didn't be easier to paint them you just paint the clothes but you should try to see if that set is still available because it will fill up your passenger cars really cheap.
Kick ass video, just to help you out, your combination car needs turned around so the passenger side of the car is facing the rest of the passenger cars.

The NYC is among my favorite railroads and those RailKing cars look great behind those engines!! Love the video!
I might pre-order the Lionel Lionmaster Hudson. If I do, I'm definitely buying those passenger cars. Those passenger cars are pretty sick.

Oh man, I had to cut the legs off the people to get them in my MTH RailKing Jersey Central cars! Creeped me out!

Nice vid. Thx Art.
Thanks, I have fun sharing with everyone.
Nice Cars Art , have the same engine , Really happy with it .
People in the cars Weill look awesome (:
Yeah that engine is great, I love playing with the different whistle pitches. The whistle smoke is a little weak though.
@@ArtsModelTrains Yeah , try and use a needle smoke bottle and fill the smoke into the Whistle smoke hole where the smoke comes out .

Thanks, I was wondering what the correct way to run that was
