Thank you very much for the comment! Its a friends train on his layout during an operating session!

@@realzachycards it's a Pecos River Brass car. Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching the video!

@@DPT3001 I was hoping it wasn't pecos river....well that sucks...time to find a cheaper equivalent...$650 is too rich for my blood...

Yeah that are pretty cool and definitely stand out in the crowd! Thank you for your comment and thank you for checking out the video. Have a few more with the Baldwin in them!

On the Union Pacific mainline in Elmhurst, IL

This one is not one of CW's trains. It belongs to another member of the Club. Thank You for watching the video!

Thanks!

Thank you for the comment. Solid blocks of trains like this use to go through often. Always interesting to watch.

That would be very interesting! Thank you for your comment.

Yes it was the only one built like it. A Northern was starting to be made like this also but from the factory it was over weight and the plan was scrapped to make it into a streamlined locomotive

Thank you

Thank you for the comment! it was a fun video to make

Thank you

Thanks!

I’m not a major fan of steam. I like to run long modern trains on the Napm layout, but your train here looks fantastic!

@@JamesAmes-zm4ts Thank You

Yeah it's pretty sharp. Might not be exactly prototypical but things like that did happen. I based it off a photo i have from California with the local between San Bernardino and LA. That had a passenger Geep though.

@@DPT3001 Back in the day you saw plenty of passenger trains with mis-matched consists. I'm sure taking some artistic license here is perfectly acceptable.

Thank you. It's a club layout located in Milwaukee WI. Lots of talented folks that make it look and run great!

Hey Charlie, i haven't really paid that much attention to the sound other than to adjust some of the setting down a bit. I know the chuff will get quite when I'm not adjusting speed steps and the locomotive is running, but will get loud when i do start throttling up or down. I'm also not sure when it will start going off when first starting. I copied the DCC settings from other Broadway locomotives i have. i think someone had adjusted some of these settings on them a long time ago. I feel there is a setting you can adjust with JMRI to fix the problem. Wish i could of been a little better help.

@DPT3001 DPT A friend and I figured things out. He has the Texas and Pacific 610 that had the same issues. It's just BLI's sound systems. They are a totally different beast that a Tsunami. When starting to move the injectors are blowing off before it starts to chuff. The issue with the chuff going in and out while running fast is to simulate a locomotive drifting. I solved that by changing the CV to switching mode, which improved its performance.

Thanks for the comments John!

Thank you. That's stock sound in both locomotives.

Just add water till it grows to HO scale size!! LOL Thanks for the comment John

Thanks John. Yeah i think its mostly just the Walthers low level El Cap. I bought two SF trains from them years ago and this is the first time most of the cars have been out of the box.The layout is super nice but i cant take any credit for it. its a club layout up in Milwaukee Wisconsin that I'm a member of. One of my other videos that I took on a friends layout, The Goose pulled 19 very heavy cars up a 1% grade with little trouble! Thanks for the comment!!!

@@DPT3001 I didn't get one myself, modelling Atsf in Arizona, she didn't venture out that far. I did pickup the Mike though, and pretty happy that. I have the later version with the box pork drivers and switching headlamp on the tender. Recently replaced the decoders in my 3800 class locos with ESU #5s, and also my 3751. What a difference! Much improved sound, far superior loco control and more lighting effects. They can start moving now on just one speedstep. Will have them in the next video with the firebox flicker, can lights, new led headlights and tender marker lamp all operational, and detailed cab interiors (painted) considering doing the same to the Mike as not so impressed with the BLI decoder in that.

@@1stArizonaSub very cool can't wait to see the video! Your layouts looking good!

@@DPT3001 my mom used to work in Milwaukee at the Kalmbach company. Known for Model Railroader Magazine.

@@1stArizonaSub Box 'PORK' Drivers! Very funny, Very funny indeed.

I was reading through a book called Cajon The passage to the Pacific and they talk about Shriner Specials and the Boy Scouts Jamboree going to California so I'm kind of using that

@@DPT3001 Yes they did that plus they went to the Grand Canyon. It was described in one of the Santa Fe Historical Society magazines. If I remember correctly, most if not all of the passenger cars were heavyweights and all were led by steam engines…..

That's very cool. I wish i could get my hands on a lot more heavyweight cars.

Its just the Walthers car. Not sure what train it i bought it for, either the Chief or San Francisco Chief trains

Thanks John! Merry Christmas to you to!

Thank you for watching and the comments!

Thanks John. It is a very nice model. This bridge was built for a model railroad club probably 30 or 40 years ago. That club had to relocate and the new club and layout didn't have room for this bridge. As a kid I remember looking at this bridge in a display case. I had joined this club about 10 years ago but the bridge was gone by then. But choosing to model the Santa Fe and meeting people in the hobby little did I know I would be running trains over it at operating sessions a few years later!

The train it is pulling in the video had a lot of drag and was very heave. The Hudson pulled it up a 1% grade will little trouble. the traction tires help a lot

By the way, come here sometime & stand next to those massive 84" drivers. My fav. ATSF class. The big Northerns (3751, 2926) are awesome, but the 3460s were quite unique, and only 6 made. The one survivor sits derelict under trees, neglected, except for few attempts through years to at least, cosmetically revive it. Hardly visible, until you drive right up to it. It just ain't right, I tell ya!' Lest I forget, really sweet layout.

thanks for the Info, ill keep and eye on my locomotives. i have two of them but only ran this one so far. it ran fine on the club layout im a member of.

Thank you 👍

So tell us more info please? Is this the new BLI ATSF 3460 4-6-4?

@@railscenes4959 yes it's the new Broadway Limited Hudson. I put info in the description for the video.
