- As the title suggests, this video highlights my Northern Pacific F3 ABA Streamliner Set. "Main Street of the Northwest".
All power and passenger cars are MTH Premier.
The F3's are older MTH models upgraded with new electronics. The new electronics are provided by "SoundTraxx" using their Blunami hardware. Additional information is in the video.
I hope you enjoy the video. If so, please leave a "like" and / or a comment.

What a beautiful northern Pacific set! Excellent running session! The Bluenami seems to work perfectly!💯
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed the video! Yes. The Blunami install works great.
That color scheme is so iconic. No wonder it was your grail set.
Yes, the "Main Street of the Northwest" is just such a beautiful set.
Nice set. Clubs are great for friendships and sharing talent's.
@@joeDeLude thanks Joe. I agree, my train world changed for the better with my involvement with my Club and others we visit and those that visit us.
Looks Awesome 👍👍
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Awesome! I’d almost say Blunami is sacrilegious, but I’ve been seeing more and more engines with the upgrade. Very cool, Donald. Hope you are well.
Thank you very much Jason. I am hanging in there, good days mostly! For me, a PS1 locomotive is a shelf piece. You can do other upgrades but I feel Blunami is the best choice. Thanks for your comment. Hope all is well with you too!
Fantastic NP passenger train Donald.
Thank you very much!
Great video Don. It looks like we are entering a new era in electronics with the O gauge hobby.
@@josephphillips9692 Hey Joe. I agree. A Blunami conversion is by far the best way to rejuvenate old PS1 locomotives. My F3 is 30 years old and runs like new. I am impressed.
As we say in Michigan " Go Blue". They sound great, I'm going to have to look into this. Great news Don and thanks for sharing.
@@michaelabalos595 you are welcome Mike. I was skeptical at first. But after the install nothing but praise. There are a lot of cool features I did not want to bore my viewers with that are available. Fun to play with.
So cool, Don! That is one gorgeous passenger train, for sure. I really love passenger trains and enjoy running them on my layout. Blunami is interesting. As you know, I'm a post-war, conventional guy, but if I ever get some older Command Control units, it might be a good option. If I change my yard around for switching, instead of just storage, it would probably be the direction that I would go. I took time off during the holidays, so I could be out East with my family and friends, but now I'm getting back to the layout. An excellent video, as always.
Thank you John. Yes, Blumani is an excellent choice for dead MTH locomotives with PS1 QSI systems. They run great, the control is better than Legacy!
Hey Donald,
Great pull away shots! It really helps to put in to perspective the size and scope of your layout. The still shots from your articles don’t do it justice. Great content
w/quality camera work.
Looking forward to the next.
Best regards,
Keith/Hou, Tx.
Thank you Keith, I really appreciate your comments! The fact you take the time to write quality comments means a lot.
Awesome video DK Thanks for sharing they look great have a awesome day my Friend.😊😊👍👍
You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Don, you found it. Congratulations! NP is my white
Whale too. I hope you
Let Me
Get the next
One.😅
I saw this set advertised recently, I was
Hoping you would get it.
Thanks so much for allowing me to run my C&O Greenbrier at your club back in October. If I
Find an
NP before
This next Oct York show, I
Will bring it with me and NP
Can
Take over
The layout!
@@williamb-trains Hey Bill. That sounds great! The set hardly ever, I mean ever pops up for sale. I got lucky. The next one is yours! Your Greenbrier was amazing to watch. That one is also a favorite of mine. There are just so many cool trains out there and my pockets are only so deep!🙂🙂🚂🚂.
Take care and see you hopefully at the Club!
That is a beautiful train Don and the sounds are fantastic.I have a FM Trainmaster D&RG with PS1 that just sits on my shelf as the PS1 system has gone bad, I should find someone to install the Blunami system as yours sounds great. Thanks for another awesome video.
Thanks Roger. I also love that train. I looked for those cars for years and this summer they basically fell into my lap thru a friend. A Blunami conversion in a PS1 locomotive is the way to go. Blunami has a bunch of really cool features too to play with.
What a gorgeous passenger set, Don. It is so wonderful to be blessed with such great friends who have the talent to upgrade your locomotive electronics. Thank you for sharing your holy grail with us.
Yes. This set is one of my all-time favorites.
What a stunning train! Love seeing more people using Blunami, and giving their old models a second lease on life. Awesome video and Travis did a great job on the upgrade!
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Yep, those F3's are 30 years old and run just like new.
The quad Vista Domes are amazing. If Blunami can breathe life into troublesome shelf queens, its a great upgrade! The train looks great running on the layout!
Thanks for your comment, they are a great set of cars to run! The Blunami boards work great on those old MTH PS1 system. They perform great.
That’s really cool. So you can run both powered a units off one decoder?
Short answer. NO. You need one decoder per powered unit. I was going to do both powered locomotives but found 1 is more than sufficient to pull all 10 cars. I removed the PS1 guts in the 2nd one and now it is a roller. I can power it in the future. With the tether between the ABA intact, I can control the headlights in the rear unit. Hope that helps.
Fantastic looking consist. I have been looking at Blunami boards. Can the new boards be operated with Android phones? Their literature all says IOS.
Hello William. I do not know that answer. I would guess you need to ask SoundTraxx directly. I have an Apple. Thanks for your comment and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
@@willamettevalleyAFtrains UPDATE. I was at my Club tonight and asked Travis. He is sure you can buy boards that work with Android.
