      If anything they should give us access to the sound files of the locomotives, so we can choose our favorite lionel whistles.

    The real 4500 was repainted, and put on static display in Tulsa, Ok, at the Route 66 Historical Village. It’s an absolutely beautiful locomotive. Every year they decorate it with Christmas lights. They are in the process of building a depot behind engine, and rolling stock.

    just want to say that I love your green bridge/trestle , It's the best that I have ever seen and the design, shape and weathering of it are excellent and you deserve an award for such a thing of beauty . You did a fantastic job of incorporating in your layout , I also want to say that your backdrop also blends into your layout perfectly.

    @budgiemama7698 3 года назад

    A "smoke bonnet" was used on some AT&SF 4-8-4 locomotive
    Some of the engines assigned to California service, especially the Valley Division, had hinged "smoke bonnets" that were swung into action in tunnels, apparently to prevent the exhaust from damaging the tunnel roof. The smoke would therefore have been directed back towards the cab instead, so these thing must have been something of a mixed blessing.
    No 3751 carried one of these when it was retired, and No 3759, displayed in Kingman, Arizona, still has one.

    Once again Eric, great video showing us your love of the hobby. I would also like to commend your positive outlook as I recently watched another channel which reviewed Lionel's SD-40s and the whole video was the presenter whining and ragging about what he bought and how he should just go to HO. My first thought was go to HO and stop whining. Better yet, if he was disappointed, he could have presented his issues in a positive light instead of his whining. I know you have had reviews where you have pointed out issues with certain products but you have always left it to the viewer to decide on what to do. RUclips is fantastic to all those creaters who wish to share knowledge and educate or entertain others. Then there are those who want an outlet to just rag on things. They should be free to do their own thing, but I am not interested in watching negativity after a long day in the real world!! Thanks again Eric! By the way if you have not seen any of his videos, Mr. Muffin's trains in Atlanta, Indiana, has a fantastic layout open to the public. ruclips.net/user/MrMuffinsTrainsfeatured

      @@MH-ey4co Even though they made that engine and not have made a set of Frisco passenger cars even if they do not say Meteor on the passenger cars. I know that I have seen Frisco passenger cars. The locomotive is what carries the name Meteor. Like Daylight express or "Super Chief" or Blue Bird or Orange Blossom Special the only thing that may say a train's name might be a drumhead put on an observation lounge car at the rear of the train like the congressional etc.
