  • My carpet layout has undergone several changes since my PE video last Christmas. Most notable is I now have an O-60 loop inside an O-72 loop. There are a couple sidings with operating accessories. I show some of these in this video. I hope you all enjoy this.
    Lionel scale Polar Express
    PM 1225 and Polar Express Tender.
    Atlas RPO custom painted by Jeff Sohn.
    K-Line Operating Milk Car painted by me.
    Lionel scale Polar Express passenger coach and observation car. The observation car went through a heavy modification...done by me.
    I airbrushed all roofs with Floquil Graphite then used Doc O'Brien's weathering powder to simulate wind blown snow.
    Copy and paste the following to see a how-to on Winter weathering my passenger cars...

    Sweet! I got the Lionel Polar Express set this Christmas from Sears. I have a lot of old Pre-war and post-war stuff but haven't gotten anything "new" in 30 years. Haven't removed it from the box yet. I hope it is half the set-up you have. Poor folks that have to pick up those logs in the snow!

    +Michigan & Ohio Valley Lines To be Very Honest, Your Train Layout is the Best, I Really Love it. I Like How you Ran the Polar Express Along side a Diesel Train. I also Like the Polar Express Model Itself too. I Really Hope in the Future That you Will make More of These Videos. I can see that you Put alot of Effort into Making this Train Layout, Keep up the Good Work & Stay Encouraged.!!😉😉

    Hi Ron! I custom mixed the paint. Using Floquil Railroad enamels shot through an airbrush. The formula is 4 parts Reefer Gray...1 part CSX Blue(GLS)...slowly add Reefer white-not quite 1 part. Thin per bottle recommendation with Testors enamel thinner.
    After a day or so, I clear coated with a 50/50/ mix of Floquil flat and their Crystal Cote. Thin per bottle with Testors.
    Hope this helps.

    @snowmantrains Thank you! I had some accessories that I just didn't really have a spot for, but I had purchased them so cheap I couldn't pass up the deal. Since I redid the track plan, I was able to make room for them. There are still many improvements to come for my carpet layout so stay tuned ; )

  • @cwrhine97

    I've seen these engines before. Yours has realistic sounds and a really cool whistle. I've also seen the same engine but no sounds? Is yours a special edition or an upgrade?

  • @wyattsdad8561
    @wyattsdad8561 8 лет назад

  • @sunfiregts
    @sunfiregts  11 лет назад

    @Rick Moredock That is the Lionel Polar Railroad GP7 pulling some Polar Railroad freight plus some freight that I custom painted. I painted the operating log car and operating barrel car. I put PE Cocoa on the barrels. The searchlight car was also added.

    It probably wouldn't look right. These heavyweight passenger cars are large...19". Lionel suggests O-54 curves. I don't have the starter set to compare them with.

    It is pretty easy to do. I have a how-to on it on O-Gauge Hobbyist site. RUclips wont let me post a link, but I updated this video's description with the web link. You have to copy and paste it in your browser.

  • @sunfiregts
    @sunfiregts  12 лет назад

    @thomasandfriends47 Both are as they come straight from Lionel. The tanker was one of the first two freight cars that Lionel put out in the Polar RailRoad name. The diesel was an uncatalogued item that Lionel offered in the 2010 Year end flyer.

    Beautiful. I wish I had the scale one. Only have the original Lionel polar express in semi-Scale. I have the upgraded sound tender, but that just doesn't do it. I do however run my 736 Berkshire reproduction with command control pulling it to get the realistic whistle and ect

    Please answer me back:
    I have the polar express and I am thinking of getting the all aboard passenger car and the train sounds tender I just have three questions:
    One: Can the announcement from the passenger car be operated without a legacy system?
    Two: Can crew talk be activated through the whistle or does it have to be a controller system?
    And three where did you get the PE diesel?
    Thank you for your time.

  • @wyattsdad8561
    @wyattsdad8561 8 лет назад

    Oh okay... Shoot I'm glad I asked. I thought the snow was painted on.
    Is the weathering snow permanent or is it something that's removable?
    Is the snow that's on the bodies of the passengers cars the same stuff, or is it paint?
    Could you tell me the product name of the weathering powder?
    Sorry for all the questions, I just haven't done this sort of thing before and I'm learning as I go..
    Thank you again for help!
    Mike

    • @sunfiregts
      @sunfiregts  8 лет назад

      Sorry for the delay in reply. I have a post with most of the info at this link www.jcstudiosinc.com/BlogShowThread?id=423
      The weathering powders I use come in a kit of several colors. Doc O'Brien Weathering Powders from Micro-Mark for about $18. Very easy to use. Yes they are on the car sides as well, without a clear coat. These will wash off with light soap and water on a rag, if needed. Questions are no problem...always welcomed...and thanks for enjoying my video.

    Excellent video, that train looks so good in the catalog, and is simply stunning when brought to life! Nice camera work, but I wish you would have run the Lionelville trolley from 2000 also. I have have that same item, and more! You can watch my latest video, and see the others on out RUclips channel. Just look for the Silver Rail Club, (and on fb too!)
