The C&NW had an impressive fleet of dash 9 locomotives as I really liked their paint scheme with the green stripe and they had a unique/ wonderful sounding horn from my perspective.
Very cool Drayton! These units being delivered without air conditioning was something I didn't know about the C&NW Dash 9s! Could you imagine the revolt that would happen if the current Railroads tried that today?
Great video Drayton and so good I've ordered C&NW 8727! This is the sort of video that I and I'm sure many others like. Not to long and very well presented.
You guys pulled me off the fence with the sound and DCC equipped locomotives. I have you ES44AC and your C44-9W from the rivetcounter line and i absolutely love them i just wish i had a train layout to run them on everyday
Nice video and locomotives, but I think you got the story about the 8601 backwards. It was the first production C44-9W built (as opposed to CSX's early Dash 9's in late Dash 8 carbodies). Because it was the first GE borrowed it as a demonstrator unit, painted in the special black paint scheme, but because it belonged to C&NW it was numbered 8601. Also, all of the early Dash 9's had the "goiter" side frames, not just the 8601.
Seems like lots of modern wide cabs, but there is a pent up demand for more SD40-2's and SD45s, especially the most common SP SD45 and some Rio Grande SD45's.
@@ExplodedwarlockD2 Yup, this is exactly why this video was made. It wasn't to 'show off anything' it was to say "these aren't selling, please buy them".
@vuurvrrailfanner4656 in short, yes. As long as you have at least 22 inch radius or bigger curves you should be fine! The larger the better. The smaller it is under 22in tends to cause derailments
Since everything is made of plastic, just wondering will you guys offer the Trinity early 5851 (Two versions without end cut outs) and the current 6241 covered hopper? Those cars would fill the void on mixers. You offer three verison of the Thrall carbon black hopper. A UTLX 30,000 general service tank car with its 16,000 panda bear, black and HOKX gray siblings would be great too.
Can we please get the iconic dynamic duo. Cant understand why the 2 most popular units that lasted the longest weren’t done. Ill wait until 8646 and 8701 come out if ever.
I ran the 8701 and 8646 often when they were assigned to the MPRCB and MCBPR pool.... The "rivet counters" are funny...simply because in reality...a locomotive is just a machine.....

Drayton, great job! You deserve a pay raise.
Y'all knocked out the N RC Tier 4s, keep up the great work!

I’ll take 3CNW
Dash -9’s thank you
Thank you scale trains for producing The CNW
Dash-9’s

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and for your business. -Drayton
The model trains you make are absolutely stunning! Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for your kind words of support. We really appreciate your business. -Drayton
I purchased an NS ET44AC a couple days ago I haven't ran it yet but the details are top notch keep up the good work
Yep. I got two Dash 9s from the C&NW and one of them is 8727. Really good job with these locomotives.
Nicely done with the spotlight series of the C&NW Dash 9's Drayton. Those locomotives may make good use in my collection.
Fingers crossed hoping my C&NW GP30 will be here soon.
Looking at early March 2023 now.

On the subject of widecabs I hope Bowser does the SD40-2W
@@ExplodedwarlockD2 On the other hand, the SD45's and SD40T-2's are basically sold out.
Superb models as always. Drayton, will you make it to the Amherst show this year?
Thank you! I should be there this weekend. -Drayton
@@Scaletrains Hopefully we can squeeze in an interview Friday night or Saturday. I got Shane to do one last year for my video.
Hey Harrison@North Country Trains! Have fun at Amherst!
Great units.
I am planning to get 8700 and maybe 8727. If you guys do the Dynamic Duo, I will order them right away.
Now that the CNW has been bought by UP have they ever been used as lease units/temp power on Canadian routes?
Does ScaleTrains Work on bachmann ez track?
They should, as long as the radius is wide enough, I've seen people do that
@@roskgo1193 So if i had a normal bachmann ez track train set circle, it could work with scaletrains?

When will the next n scale dash 9 run be

Potentially! -Drayton
@@Scaletrains PLEASE!!!!!
Scaletrains train show February 2-18-2023 Pasadena tx are going to be there in the train show
When can we get a CSX AC44DC With nose number board???
Will we ever get more operator dash 9's?
Not likely. -Drayton

We did this in order to create excitement for future runs. -Drayton
You guys should make gp40/gp40-2's
Dare I ask if you guys are still planning to re-make the steam engines?
Yes. -Drayton
