    Nice railfanning shot of the SP Daylight, Harrison. The only loco I wasn't certain would run was the Penn Central. The motor in the SP must have been jarred loose in shipping, but of course you figured it out! 🤔 The extra shell is in case you want to change it up now and then with the Florida East Coast locomotive. Glad they are all runners. Again you didn't share the card - - yeah, I know, trains on the brain.
    Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

    Nice! Lots of good stuff! The daylight is a PA-1 not an FA-2 btw. Don't wanna be that guy, but couldn't help the correction. PA's were for passenger service, and FA's were for freight. Both look like Toasters on steroids. Fun fact (I'm not sure if this is 100 percent true) the designer of the PA designed a toaster for houses.

    I have had a lot of track and other structures for years. Picked up the SP Daylight 6009 a few years ago, but never put any of this together. Now that I have plenty of space, I have decided I would get to work. Started by cleaning up and servicing the SP locomotive, and will be buying the other cars I need for the set. Seeing this run on your channel was exciting. Can't wait to get mine working.

    AHM models were sourced from a number of companies, most commonly Mehanotehnika/RSO, Roco, and Rivarossi. In the '70s and early '80s Model Power sourced models from Roco and Mehanotehnika as well. My first train set was by Model Power. The locomotive and freight cars were made by Mehano, while the caboose was from Roco.

    The unpainted (undecorated in US) is an EMD SW1. It has its sand box on front beneath the air intake grills. Only the SW1 had the sandbox placed in this arrangement. The Daylight units are PA-1 and PB-1 P=passenger, A=cab units, B=booster units, 1=series. The PA had 6-axles while the FA had 4-axles.

    @RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS 4 года назад

    The streetcar pair is a representation of an early form of twin unit car, the unpowered car is a "trailer" that would have tagged along behind a normal, powered streetcar in real life. Usually, there would just be one trailer on a streetcar, though on some heavier interurban railways, it was not unknown to have more trailer cars. It's a very cute unit and I'm glad to see it runs well!
    Also, the Daylight set is gorgeous!

    Hey harrison. Love the new edition. Jealous of the Florida east. And daylight. Have the steam engine one. But someone , not well by the way. Hand painted it to look like the ted white and blue logo. So need a new body. Took most paint off. But the original paint under didn't look so great. Have cpl of the rock island. Have one f40 in blue and white. Have 3 different paint scheme for rock island. Including black red and white trim. Been slacking on my engines. Been building an rc track. I Play with nitro rc's. Have 3 nitro. 1 revo 4x4 , 1 stadium truck , i tech 4 drift car, rest are battery. Fast but battery. Working on videos before and during the build of the track. My revo is to big for it almost everything else works. Have great day man... Love the new set.

    You'll probably need to add some weight to the passenger set. Athearn passenger cars were notorious for being underweight - TOO underweight. However, putting a full interior in the cars (and IHC makes some great interiors which can be adapted for Athearn cars - I know, as I've dome it) will add enough weight to make them run a whole lot easier.

    Have the C&EI one stashed here somewhere. Unfortunately prices have gone way up but a lot of those less than reliable train show finds I was able unleash my inner mad scientist ( MAD,MAD? MAD THEY CALLED ME I'LL SHOW THEM ALL! BWAHAHAHAHA!!) and transplant the shell on the better running blue box F7 or GP7.
    BTW you said you have a lack of Rock Island engines well that undec SW1 would look really nice in the RI red and yellow Speed Letter scheme or the maroon and yellow RI scheme.

Lost them in a move or they got left behind at my old place. Started my collection all over again with a tyco mantua Tucson red PRR f unit and two Tucson red lifelike passenger cars and a cnw SD40-2 i got at a train show in south Carolina. No track to run them on yet and the tyco needs new traction tires.

  • @Petemonster62
    @Petemonster62 4 года назад

    SMT - Just a thought - How about making a video from a HO scale railfan who is visiting Dunderville? The railfan could film all the daytime activity of different types of trains, from different railroads, that have trackage rights on the Saskatoon, Montreal, & Toronto line. Also, the railfan could film cars being picked up from the sidings. the railfan could walk over to Main Street & film the trolley cars in action.

    • @SMTMainline
      @SMTMainline  4 года назад

      That's an interesting idea, I wonder how much rail traffic I could get going on the layout.

    • @Petemonster62
      @Petemonster62 4 года назад

      SMT - One thing to consider would be placing your camera next to the white house, viewing the curved switch track, like you did in previous live stream videos. You could film a " meet " - switch the track for the siding & have a freight traveling counter - clockwise take the siding. Once the freight train's locomotive is out of view, you could stop the train & remove the locomotive. Then, you switch the track back for the main line & have a passenger train, traveling clockwise, roar by. Then the freight train can start moving again until it is out of the camera's view.

    • @Petemonster62
      @Petemonster62 4 года назад

      The Dunderville railfan's narration: " Here's the Southern Pacific Montreal Daylight with Alco PAs on the point from Ogden Utah, Sandpoint Idaho, & Moose Jaw Saskatchewan! ". " And here comes SP's Ottawa Daylight with a Baldwin Shark Nose, going back to Ogden. " " Here comes the Santa Fe's Montreal Chief from Chicago. ". " We now see a freight of empty hoppers that is returning from the Dunderville power plant.". " The mixed freight is picking up a car from the spur track.". " A work train is passing by heading to a track project down the line.". " Some more track personnel are passing by on a speeder. ". " A couple more Gandy Dancers are following on a hand car! ".

    • @Petemonster62
      @Petemonster62 4 года назад

      SMT - Can the flatcar-mounted camera be turned to photograph from the side? The Dunderville rail fan could ride a train from station to station & film the country going by through the passenger car's window!
