The Capitol Limited detoured for whatever reason in May of 1961 through Everson. On a magical Saturday early that month, my 4 year old passion for trains convinced my mom to take me for atwo alley block walk down to the frieght yards of the PRR and B&O. It ws a very busy Saturday with two PRR GP-9's shuttling cars and the B&O Capitol stopped at the yard office waiting for clearance. Thje entire passenger train past by and my jaw dropped in awe. A PRR engineer tossed a pack of Wrigley's gum to me and I cherish these memories to this day. Amazing for two small towns of Scottdale and Everson. I love those engines.!
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience. I wish it was possible these days to do this. It’s a totally different world out there. Thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨
Thanks so much! Unfortunately the only way to find out is the catalog search. I think all of their catalogs are available via PDF for free on the Bachman website 🚂💨 I do have a few 0-27 Williams like the PRR turbine.
Hi , Just subbed. Nice review. Williams made some really nice stuff, I don't have any motive power but I have williams heavyweight pass cars that I run with my Lionel GG1.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel 👍🏻🚂💨. Their heavyweights are really nice and roll like butter. I’ve got the NYC set as well. GG1s are definitely one of my favorites.
Great video review Nick!! Those E7’s are beautiful to look at, and their large size really make them stand out. Nice job on the history as well. Learning about who made them and when they were made is very interesting.
Nix those are almost 36 inches long,,,the f-3 s aa set is 26 inches long,,,,great video and williams is the best bang for the buck i have 7 diesels and they run flawlessly,,,Ken
Ahh ! So that article from classic toy trains was really wrong 😂 they also said in the article that E7s were 4,000 HP. So maybe they reviewed the F7 and listed it as an E7 - explains why they also pointed out porthole windows lol. Thanks so much for pointing that out. I’ve got a bunch of Williams and it runs like butter. 🚂💨😁
@@NixCrossing they only had 2000 horse power and the trucks only had 2 traction motors each the center axel was not powered,,,,just some info nix,,,,Ken
Very nice! Those are also beautiful pieces. For that you could get a “Diesel Sounds “ kit new on EBay for about $85. You can go the expensive route and get an Electric Railroad Kit ERR on their website. They should all come with instructions, but it should be pretty easy.
@@betsy662 I think it was in a magazine on how they messed up but we’re going to fix the issues - I recently added Railsounds to this unit and posted a video. Next I’m adding a smoke unit (8 stacks)

Nice review. I always enjoy your layout. Those Williams do seem to run really smooth. How can you tell which Williams are scale sized. Thanx

Hi Nick. Those B & O's are huge!
Lance! They are giants of the layout lol
Great video 🚄🚄👍

Very nice unit set there nix, and great info.
Thanks so much! 🚂💨
Great video and beautiful train. I just subscribed.
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel 🚂💨
Nice review. That's a beautiful set! And I appreciate them even more after seeing them in person and visiting the B&O museum.
Thanks so much! Glad you got to see / run those units 😄🚂💨
Glad you got see the real deal at the B&O museum
@@SimplyExploVenturing me too, thanks. It was stunning to see it in person, beautiful train!
Thanks for the review, Nick! I have more Williams than any other maker...they're great!
Thanks for watching! They are great pieces for sure 🚂💨

Thanks so much! 👍🏻😁 they have an E7 at the PRR Museum. They are HUGE! lol 🚂💨
Damn those are good looking engines!
…. And now I’m on eBay looking for a set. You bad influence!
Thanks so much brother! Haha 😂 I’m a worse influence at shows or hobby shops 😂🚂💨. Thanks for watching!

That would require a huge gigundo layout with big curves.
good vid nix stay safe lee
Thanks so much! You too! 🚂💨
Nice Trains after seeing the real deal in your recent video at the B & O
Thanks so much!
I have the same engines and also in the Burlington set..How do you go about getting a better sound unit for the dummy part?
Very nice! Those are also beautiful pieces. For that you could get a “Diesel Sounds “ kit new on EBay for about $85. You can go the expensive route and get an Electric Railroad Kit ERR on their website. They should all come with instructions, but it should be pretty easy.
E8's had the port hole windows on the sides, as did the E9's, E7's should have the sliding side windows
Thanks! Yeah I think Williams messed up on the E8s they made and did squares. It was their first major “oops” lol
@@NixCrossing I wasn't aware that they had even made E8's, yeah, using the squares on an E8 would be inaccurate alright!
@@betsy662 I think it was in a magazine on how they messed up but we’re going to fix the issues - I recently added Railsounds to this unit and posted a video. Next I’m adding a smoke unit (8 stacks)
@@NixCrossing Yep, each unit had 2 prime movers, so yeah, 8 stacks over two units makes sense!
Got the bell. First to comment. Did you got to Renningers yesterday?
The Kutztown meet is next weekend, August 28th. I should be there 😄
@@NixCrossing well I thought I had missed it. The Saturday before labor day, ok thanks for the info.
@@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 not a problem! Are you going to make it to the show ?
@@NixCrossing considering it according to Google it's not much further than Strasburg, must be on a different route.
Those are awesome locomotives I like the paint scheme! I really like the B&O E units they look great!
The paint scheme is beautifully iconic. I think these would have ran their luxury passenger trains like the Capital Limited.
Those e units can pull also. Great looking locomotives.
Those dual motors are unstoppable 😁👍🏻 thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨
It's a shame that Bachmann kicked the Williams line to the curb.
Im the 1k viewer of this video
Thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨
