Continuing here since UA-cam was lagging on my comment. 😅 Anyways, thought I thow in some diecast in as gifts. Felt genrous to give you one of the ertl tractors as a friendly gesture. Love the Shell M2 truck, but just never fit in with the rest of my stuff, so I though, hey why not give it away. Glad you love the subway percy. I actually gave you mine I have outright. I'm sure I'll find another one in good time. Decopac Cake Topper Thomas is cool, but is just a static figure. Interestingly, Decopac made a motorized Thomas that ran on a cardboard track you put on top of a cake around mid 2000s. Happy you got more portrait package Ertls in your collection as well. Especially the 1998 Duncan. Oscar the Grouch was made by Super7, a detailed collectible figure company. I pulled 2 Oscars from the Sesame Street mystery boxes, and got Ernie and Bert as well. Oscar comes with his pet worm, Slimey, which is in the little bag he came in. Overall, a wonderful unboxing video, and thank you for the videos you made about your stuff this year. They have been a blast to watch! Although, I might be a bit biased about it.😏 This won't be the last video you'll see of me for sure this year though, as Christmas is coming around the corner! 🎄🎁

Yes, but the front trucks were switched out depending on which character the chassis was on. Boco had a Co-Bo wheel arrangement, while Daisy had a Bo-Bo arrangement.

Never had that problem with my model, though I'm always knocking the smoke stack off my two-truck climax loco.

Me either. But if I was to guess why they don’t scrub them off Is because of the corruption of Thomas and friends by mattel.

I guess some of it was for the 2024 bubble tour as they had the passenger cars decorated with them as well. I myself think it's a fun idea, though I think it's also good for Thomas to just look like himself without the silly graphics.

I'd like to visit Station 127 and check out the LA County Fire Museum, but sadly being clear over here on the east coast makes that rather difficult, though not impossible. I've actually got a younger friend over in California who was born in 1997 (almost a good 30 years after Emergency), and he recently found out about the show through my channel. What was even more surprising is he discovered that he's only a 30 minute drive from the museum, so he said about maybe checking it out when he gets the time to do so. If I can ever come up with the time and money to travel, I wouldn't mind meeting up with him there someday.

@@PlowBenderStudios Yeah, I went to California twice from NY State and was wondering how far Station 127 that represented Station 51 from Emergency! was from the In-N-Out Burger restaurant we were at but we didn't have plans to go there because I found out it was too far from the restaurant. At least I can go next time.

The Pittsburg and Shawmut (P&S) which was also known as the Shawmut Line was an 88 mile short line railroad which ran from Brockway, Pennsylvania to Freeport, Pennsylvania. It started out as the Brookville and Mahoning Railroad (B&M) in 1903, and was actually leased by the Pittsburg, Shawmut and Northern Railroad (PS&N), but when PS&N went bankrupt in 1905, B&M became a separate entity. Funny thing was the B&M was renamed in 1909 due to confusion with their cars being sent to Boston and Maine. The Shawmut hauled mainly coal throughout it's life, although passenger service was a thing up until 1939. The Shawmut also acquired a 10 mile stretch of Conrail track from Sligo to Lawsonham in 1989 and reorganized it as the Red Bank Railroad, and also in 1991 they purchased another 110 miles of track running from Lawsonham to Driftwood and organized the Mountain Laurel Railroad. In 1996 the Shawmut was acquired by Genesee & Wyoming (G&W) and operated until 2004 when it was absorbed into Buffalo & Pittsburgh (B&P) which was also owned by G&W. Sadly the main line between Brockway and Brookville was abandoned and removed in 2003, which would be between mileposts 2 and 19. The rest of the line south of Rayard to Colwell, between mileposts 24 and 56 was also removed by 2006. Apparently B&P still owns the ROW, so if they ever wanted to put this line back into service again, they could. I personally don't see that ever happening though.

I'll give it till after the winter. I honestly don't think its going to make it.

@@PlowBenderStudios end of an era when it does. Much like the underpass being removed

Very much so, and personally that's the kind of hobby shop experience I like to have. I think that's part of why Jesse is building a layout at the shop, so the public/fellow hobbyists can engage with it as well. Not that I want to bring up past quarrels I've had, but personally I can say I've had a far better experience with Wye Bridge Hobbies in the last year, than I did when dealing with my former retailer of 18 years. You need to have something to keep customers coming back, and a great hobby shop experience is the key to that. Jesse is great with his customers, offers assistance wherever he can, and the prices there are very reasonable. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area.

I don't see any problem with it. I believe Ricardo messaged me on Discord recently about that and I gave him the go ahead.

@PlowBenderStudios I originally gave him the idea off. Do in that so in a way we're partners. And is it o k if I can make a HO/OO version of it as well? I got some bachmann tankers, and I like to make one someday.

Ok buts what’s in it star peices

@@mr.needlenose Oil or fuel probably.

I'm going to see about trying to get one out here before the year is over.

@@PlowBenderStudios yes finally I’ve been waiting years to hear that

Yes, I've seen all those other versions on eBay as well. I was honestly surprised I managed to come across this set, and in this condition for being almost 30 years old. Funny thing is I was looking through my archives recently and I came across a photo of an old HO scale layout of mine from 2005, which I can just barely make out the stock from this set on it. Being HO compatible I do feel is a strength that this set has.

Better late than never I guess. Looking forward to seeing them in the proper B&P colors. I know at least one or two of them are going to look similar to Genesee & Wyoming 1899. Still can't believe I managed to catch that unit leading a consists, especially when I had no intentions of even doing so.

Would that have been one of your drivers that featured in the video or was it someone the production team brought in? Would be curious to hear what happened with the truck after production and if it's still around somewhere.
