I bought my Dream HO Scale Locomotive!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- In the early days and years of my life I regularly visited my grandparents who lived near a steam tourist railway. Every weekend morning me and my Dad would head over there to visit them and we would wait until we heard the whistle and then run down to the tracks to watch the train go by on its first morning run to Wakefield. The railway closed in 2011 and the train has never run since. Ever since getting into model railroading I've always wanted a model of my childhood train (which might have been the cause of my interest in trains in the first place) so I decided to through caution to the wind and buy the locomotive I've always wanted. A Swedish Railways E2 steam locomotive.

Smt has unlocked achievement: Dream model train achieved
Level up: next smt statist
You should get a turn table so review locomotives can be turned without damaging the locomotives
Evan Sheldon-Shaffer good idea!
B I G B R Ä I N
Evan Sheldon-Shaffer he could probably mAke one
Nice! I’m getting my dream locomotive in June! PM 1225 with a SMOKING WHISTLE!!! I’m so excited! Can’t wait to see what a steaming whistle will be like in HO!
Same I’m getting the Mth Pere Marquette 1225 I wanted since 2015 when I saw that mth made it but then it was discontinued now they are bringing it back. I already pre ordered mine
It's certainly interesting. I didn't thing such intricate features could be put on an engine that small.
my dream loco is a cab forward
@@homeslice1282 my dream loco is thee one and only American Jupiter
Once you’re bitten by the train bug you’ll never go back
You are right. From 10 to 16 I had an impressive 18 by eight foot HO trains set that I methodically maintained and upgraded. The day before my 17th birthday there was a tornadic storm that knocked out power for one week. The backup battery for the sump pump only lasted 8 hours. The basement filled with water and my nice train layout died a horrible slimey death. I was able to revive some locomotives and sell a few. But the vast majority of my layout was destroyed. Today, I still think of that layout. If I had space, I would start again without hesitation. Maybe I can do N or Z scale.
That's so true lmao
@@indridcold8433try o gauge!!!
Is that the wakefield train if yes than I went on that with my dad when I was 5. It's the first and only steam I've ever ride in one
It sure is
SMT bought a new locomotive
Achievement unlocked SMT has too many locomotives.
Why does he have to have so many Locomotives?
Harrison, you looked like you were tearing up! It doesn't matter how much you paid for it. The look on your face tells me it was worth every penny! Memories are precious and when you can capture great ones in an item that's what is important. It is a beautiful train. Enjoy it forever! God bless Canada!
It was a really special addition to the collection since I spent a lot of time seeing it with my grandfather. Sometimes my parents would take the train as a date and he would look after me. We would wave to them as it passed his house and then race it to its destination to see them and watch them turn the locomotive around. He and the train are no longer with us so it’s just memories at this point but it’s nice to walk down memory lane.
I didn't know anyone modelled the Swedish E2 series locomotive, gorgeous model, and I'm glad you got to see it run in person! It's kind of incredible that these locomotives were in use in Sweden into the 1970s!
Aww man I thought it was gonna be a DISTINCTIVE Dodge Ram.
Wait a minute, your dream locomotive is a Bachmann locomotive?😂
He said Bachmann, but it's got Liliput all over the box. Bachmann may own Liliput by now.
@@JBofBrisbane Yes, it's a Bachmann ◈ Liliput locomotive.
You're like a kid in the candy store, Harrison! Feels great to treat yourself once in awhile, eh? As it passes the Go train with the Canadian flag in the background - - that's the money shot. Very nicely detailed indeed. And nobody can take away those memories. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍
My dream HO steam loco is the Broadway Limited UP Big Boy 4014
I'd rather have a Y6b to be honest its different from other models I have a rivarossi one but I'm wanting a BLI Y6
Well if my dream if own Rivarossi Big Boy 4005 that be my own layout someday in the future later.
Thought you might want to know this little anecdote about 909:
At the end of regular steam service on the Swedish state railways in the late 60s and early 70s most of the E2:s and other common classes were put in storage as the military wanted steam engines to be available in the event of war.
But during the early 90s the people that knew how to drive and maintain these engines where starting to retire and the decision was made to get rid of most of the stored locomotives and one was, as you know, sold to the Canadian tourist railway, however 909 wasn't one of the stored locomotives but one that had gone into preservation several years earlier.
But since SJ couldn't get one of the stored locomotives ready for delivery in time they made a deal with the society that ran 909 to trade one of the stored engines (number 1333)for 909 that subsequently ended up in Canada.
Cheers from Sweden!
You definitely need a display case for this to keep the dust off! Beautiful locomotive!!
My dream locomotive is an HO scale Canadian National U4a 4-8-4. They’ve only ever been made in brass and are very rare😭
Same!!!
Mine is the union pacific 4-8-4 FEF 3
Now your collections complete
Just kidding it never will be
Great Video. That Swedish E2 looks amazing. Surprised to see it was made by Bachamann. Now you just gotta find a T43 and the cars to run the full train!
I love the SJE2. We have one on our heritage Railway aswell (ZLSM in the Netherlands) shame the model is so expensive tho :/ As for the E2 that ran in Canada the line has been closed since 2011 and last I heard the engine will go on display in a park
what do you think of the RUclips vid I did of the amtrak p42 n scale starter set
in your opinion do you lke the quality?
So cool to see that part of your childhood running around your layout. We always put a little of our childhood into our layouts when we build them. Little memories create great scenes. I hope you can complete the train, and maybe model your grandpa's house next to the tracks. With 3 figures representing you, your dad, and your grandpa waving to the engineer as it goes by!
Bachmann is a major name in European models, and they run pretty good in European kits.
Grats mate. Liliput were an Austrian manufacturer. Looks like Bachman bought the company. I've got a 9503 2-10-2 Tank engine with a beautiful 5 pole motor thats smooth as.
Enjoy anyway mate. She looks Austrian made :)
That’s awesome and congratulations!
Even though I currently collect O scale, one of my dream HO trains I’m hoping to get one day is the German ICE (preferably the ICE 3 from Piko).
Very Nice, looks like a very smooth runner for DC. Now that you have your dream train you can send me that Blue Goose LOL
I m from Sweden i love that locomotive
So that's $425.00 U.S.... A Bachmann though. Hmmmm. Well, Bachmann has come a long way in the 21st century... hey, as long as it chooches like it's supposed to, and it makes you happy, I think you done all right. 👍
I really enjoyed the backstory of the locomotive. I am happy you got one.
Hey smt today I got a broadway limited brass America train
some bachman with smoke and dcc are going for 120 dollars
my dream locomotive is the gg8 or the UIC class 844
You got your dream locomotive what a beautiful engine you got there have you thought about getting some coaches for it like the original train did. Now you need to get yourself a big boy
You Canadians need to get off those weird couplers
Hey smt my family herritage is from sweden. Verry cool to see you got that.
My dream locomotive will be here on the 11 and it's a Walter's mainline norfolk southern 1066 and a custom panted athern blue box sd40-2 locomotive painted into the conrail 1992 altoona Olympics unit and it will be here on the 8 or 9
If I may if it really is your dream engine you can do better than walthers mainline. for disel engines I reccomend 1. Scaletrains 2. Athearn Genesis 3. Walthers Proto
It's beautiful, the excitement on your face says it all 😊
I did find 909 now called 280 it was last seen in Ottawa I believe
I understand on buying your dream train. I bought mine at the beginning of this year. A 4-6-6-4 Challenger grayhound HO scale.
despite me being a north american train fan , this is a wonderful looking loco! congrats on it as well!
British Bachman is better than American bachmann
Man, I know the feeling. A little over 6 years ago I got the HO-Scale engine of my dreams. Now I want an entire fleet of them but can't succeed in getting any more because the company went out of business right after producing them and whenever they pop up on Ebay, they're typically around $1000+ now! But man, there's just no excitement like it!
That's an awesome locomotive when I was 6 I got to ride in a NS GE evolution series and that's what made me love trains from a young age
What Thomas and friends the model or the cgi I grew up with the model Thomas and friends
What a gorgeous locomotive I love it hope to see it in some streams
I grew up with the original version made with models.
That is a very nice steam locomotive! It for sure has some very nice details! Keep up the amazing work! ~Pedro
I have my dream train. LMS coronation class queen Elizabeth and the flying scotsman. Cant forget the rodeer by graham farish but sadly it's broken
Steve Shand Broken??? Send it to me I will try to fix it, that I e been unabl e to get running, Trenton Model Train Repair, Trenton Ontario
I have three locomotives by Bachmann Lilliput, one steam and two electric. All are well detailed and excellent runners.
That is a cool Swedish railways E2 class 2-8-0. Swedish railways number 909 was built built in 1907. It worked on passenger trains in the northern part of Sweden until 1945. When it was put into mixed Traffic Service. She was withdrawn from regular service in 1964 but it was kept in partial service until 1968. When it was put to the Swedish steam Reserve. In 1988 she was given a light overhaul. Then later sold to the Huil Chealsea Wakefield Railway the 909 and 244 and 9 coaches arrived in Montreal on June 18th 1992. Interesting the valve gear and cylinders are inside the frame. She was given modifications like a Diesel Bell, a 5 chime whistle and was converted to burn oil.
Don't hate on bachmann!
also the most i spent on a train was 800 dollars
Its cool that you finally got your dream locomotive.
That’s really cool SMT, Any chance you’ll be getting Swedish passenger coaches to go with her?
I'm on the market for some however I'm not entirely sure what I need.
@@SMTMainline If you do get sweedish passenger cars you maybe should wait to swap couplers.
That's a pretty neat locomotive. Any videos of the real one operating in Cananda.
lets hope this doesnt turn into the next Acela express...
Yeah, really
Shush! Lol
😂
The dream engine I want is the Scale Trains Museum Quality ho scape Union Pacific Gas Turbine, but it's just a little over 800 USD.
It looks so cool!
Awesome Locomotive!!!! What a beauty
Cool model!! Love the SJ E2 series, grew up with it, and still operates in a museum quite close to me over here in the Netherlands (SJ E2 1040)
Very very nice I have models of locomotives I grew up around aswell and some I now work on.
Where is the real locomotive now?
We have some swis locomotives in the uk at a railway called Nene valley railway although some haven't been in traffic for a few years now but hopefully they will run again
See you in the next video
Achivement Get! SMT Mainline has completed the goal of [Dream Model Trains]
🇸🇪
It’s awesome that you got that, SMT! At first I thought you were talking about 1149 at first, which ran excursions in Maine until the mid 2000s lol.
I'm still waiting for a manufacturer to make a model of my dream locomotive, 4-6-0 American steamie Nevada Northern #40. The closest model I've ever got in my collection is Bachmann's 'High Boiler' NYC 4-6-0 Spectrum that I bought from an eBay seller who's selling off their late father's collection after several years of shelf sitting. I paid $120 US dollars plus shipping and it is the most expensive engine in my collection, but I say it was worth it.
Warm fuzzys... a wonderful video for these days. Your dream locomotive and a smile... Good job, sir.
John Kamloops, BC
Awesome seeing some achieve a dream....the look on your face says it all...by the way, nice looking locomotive
That’s an amazing looking loco......very majestic. Congratulations on the purchase......very happy for you.
I know how it feels, I got my new tooling bachmann jupiter a week back!
I didnt know a swedish locomotive operated in Canada! How unique!
It Is a very beautiful loco, I like the well proportioned looks. It looks slightly american, in a sense. I was surprised to find it was an inside cylinder locomotive. I didnt know inside cylinder'd ones got that big! Interesting! If you really wanted to go the extra mile, you could get some decals, and change out the 4s for 9s. Would actually be an easy job, however I'm not sure what you would do about the metal number thing on the cab, and headlight number.
Will it have anything to pull? :3
my dream locomotive would probably have to be either the Canadian Pacific a2 or the Canadian National K-5a, mainly since South Simcoe 136 is the first and only operating steam locomotive i ever seen irl and CN 5700 was the first steam locomotive i ever seen in person as a whole
My dream model locomotive is a late 1920s baldwin light pacific class 4-6-2. I dont care what paint scheme, road # or name it has. When i do 1 day find (or kit bash my own) it will be the, Reading-Blue Mountain and Northern #425. I love this train. It runs from Port Clinton pa to Jim Thorpe PA. On a Heritage line. It could use a better bell but her whistle makes up for it. Plus the stars they have on the wheels. Love it. I have a short of it from 2019. Its upside down. i was the supervisor on the traffic control crew. and had quick grabbed my phone out of my pocket under my hi-viz saftey flagger pants. But i got a complete whistle blow. I live a few inferior American miles aways, about a 45min drive up the turnpike.
That's about $450.00 in US dollars. Not cheap but sure is pretty!
I hope to some day get UP Challenger 3985.
funny coincidence, I just finished building, detailing and painting me dream locomotive, a HO Iowa Traction steeple cab (although it set me back $450, yikes).
beautiful locomotive Harrison! i always wondered about that loco over in wakefield..
Wow! You must be rich or else RUclips pays very well. 600 dollars! That's a lot!
I've always wondered why the European trains have bumpers between engines and cars. Have any idea?
Also, here's a bonus! Grey Owl is on Amazon Prime streaming TV. I don't know that I'll watch it, but I may fast forward through it to see the train.
Your engine is very nice looking. You seemed really disappointed that it's a Bachmannn. I hope it gives you good service.
I enjoy your videos. I've seen a few live streams and watch when I can.
Be well,
Greg in Tennessee
25 mph train. That's like the 2-8-2 mikados in Essex connecticut. They do about 25 to 40 mph. Or 40 to 65 km/h . I heard you say km/h I have to remember in canada thats the normal . nice locomotive then you mentioned Wakefield I think of Rhode Island which has Wakefield as a town. I think Sam's trains would have one like this.
Very nice! Watching your channel is like watching Christmas morning over and over again. Was the train $400 and the shipping $200?
HC&W are pretty nice I went following this train for his last trip. Before forecast screwed it up.
WOW it does have beautiful details I love it.
I'm just as surprised as you are that it's made by Bachmann, I'm surprised it doesn't smoke as well, for that kinda money you would think it would?
Enjoy it.
SMT how could do this your crazy and it awesome how you can afford so many train BUT I’m loving what your making new trains more content wooo hooo
Smt you should get a Walthers UP SD70ACE they are like 130 bucks
My dream model was the ho scale Reading Blue Mountain & Northern 4-6-2 425 dcc sound and all. I got it for my B day. It's my favorite locomotive. Also nice loco.
Awsome buy smt. Would b interesting to see how the drive system compares to a spectrum or the newer flywheel motor bachmanns
I think the US has a Swedish B class 4-6-0 in storage somewhere in the Southern States. I don't remember if it ever made it up to Canada but it's really cool to find a model of your childhood locomotive. I'm still waiting for a model of the Arcade and Attica 18, myself.
Great Video SMT! It’s funny Liliput is a German company 😅 the Loco ist very Cool ! Greatigs from Germany
Beautiful model. I've always liked Swedish trains. Liliput was an Austrian model train manufacture. In he early 90's they where sold to German model manufacture, Herpa. Herpa sold it after a brief period to Bachmann Industries and Bachmann moved production from Austria to China. Bachmann has expanded the Liliput range to cover continental European trains but most are still of German and Austrian train models. I have some older Liliput Austrian models of German locos and rolling stock.
Congratulations from Sweden to your new E2 locomotive! 😃👍
I bought my dream locomotive in January for $700, It is a Die Cast BLI Big Boy with DCC & Sound. sadly its in Florida right now due to repairs. the motor decided to start giving up so i sent it in and its been there since the end of February. That's a nice piece you got there though!
hope you Enjoy your steam engine I just bought a Bachmann 462 New York Central I love it my first steam with sound. hope you enjoy yours until your next video have a good day and stay safe 😷
You’ve got to stop saying “well folks “ in every video you do😂😂. Your videos are great - change your opening line. Nice score on your dream engine
Yea Bachmann and Hornby brought many old European model-train manufacturers in the 2000's and early 2010's like : Liliput, Rivarossi, Electrotren, jouief, Lima ... just to name a few. Sadly they also dictate the prices and quality too! (I have bad experience with Liliput locos by Bachmann unlike Liliput Austria)!
That is absolutely beautiful!!! No wonder you love it so much. I believe I would too. Congratulations!!
Beautiful miniature...
Like from indonesian railways..
Absolute Beauty love Steamer.
Will look for one.
Iam down in Johannesburg,South Africa
I have a few Liliput models, mostly rolling stock, my father was Spanish and he had a massive European HO collection from brands like Roco, Ibertren, Electrotren, Fleishmann, Liliput and a few American brands like Bachmann, Life-like, etc. When he passed away three years ago I got the entire collection out to start a layout, remembering old days. And I have to say that I think the price for European locos are okay compared to how expensive American locos are.
I honestly think American HO locomotives are overpriced $200-$300 bucks over the price it should have.
I have rided 2 Steam engine one was a E2 number 1093 the same kind you ride on and the Other one was a B number 1324
Very nice locomotive. Here in the Netherlands there is a preseverd railway down south near German borders. At that railway they also run a Swedish E2 class and 2 Swesdish B class loco’s with Belgium K1 coaches and some DB vt 95 railbusses. My dream engine is the German br 01.10 (4-6-2) pacific i purchased a marklin model. Still a really nice model
Greetings from the Netherlands
It may be Bachmann, but the box says Lilliput, maybe they partnerned? Bachmann European puts out mostly high quality trains, some duds. Anyone else watch Sam's Trains channel will know, lol! As an American I've got a couple European projects in mind which are going to be quite the challenge. Good luck on your project!
Don't worry about it being a Bachman. Bachman UK and Bachman Europe AR manufactured to a different standard of design than Bachman US, and are generally higher quality.
The second you said that the train was $600 I knew this hobby is too expensive for me XD
SMT, quick tip. Pancake motors won’t work without syrup, especially maple syrup. Make it go Bugatti speed with some sausage and bacon
No doubt you've got the correct couplers on it now, but Kadee does four lengths of NEM 362 compatible knuckle couplers - nos 16, 17,18 and 19.
I have several German Lilliput 2-10-0s and I'm very happy with them. Lilliput was it's own company before being bought by the company that owns bachmann.
I know that story. When i was a child 3 to 8 yrs old. I lived in alma Michigan. On Grafton Street. Went to school at hillcrest elementary. We live 2 houses down from the tracks. My cousin still lives in house across street where the tracks go behind her house all the way to or past the school. This is where my story starts. To see them BNSF's Chessie's and GT go by was awesome for me and my brother(my baby brother). He passed han 2 just over 6 yrs ago. It was only me and him. So went 2 yrs where i couldn't deal with him not being with me. Inside i fell apart. Then i couldn't keep it in. Then i got my first train set. Ho for $30. With alot of track. In the box was the 040 o scale steamer i have now. It took me back to them days. Playing in front yard waiting for the train to go by. The we moved to carson city Michigan. My dad got race tracks and train set. We played all the time in bay window. It helped me but i ended up with almost 200 engines and 60 slot cars. I want a few more BNSF in different models and paint schemes along with chessie and GT. Like the lionel you have. 2 clips . this is the only GT i have. I have 1 BNSF. Wife got it for me this past xmas. Couldn't believe it. Brand new. I buy lots and fix up and repair them. Couldn't afford stuff growing up. So used or old was how we did it. Fixed everything. We didn't buy new unless it was a part to fix bad of course. I've repaired almost every engine i have minus few like lionels and the GS4 daylight. So when i get sad i goto my hobbies to get me through. Lately it's been nitro rc's. Been building a traxxas revo 3.3 from ground up. Have a nitro stadium truck and nitro drift car. Built a track did cpl vids haven't posted yet. Summer hobby and winter hobby. Enjoy new train. Beautiful dream. Beautiful train. Enjoy the memories each time you start that engine up and run it down that SMT mainline. Enjoy my friend... Enjoy...
Awesome locomotive and review! And why is it 600 dollars???
