Looks good
Thank you! 👍
Yes. The cost is ridiculous, and if you send a defective item back, chances are you'll never get them back. I bought 2 hot box refers at 150 bucks each and their circuit boards fried right off the bat
Sorry to hear that! Those reefers were pricy for sure and could have been neat if they didn’t fry. Thanks for checking out the channel.
Hey bud what is up underneath the foam I know that spray foam on the outside how did you or what did you use to make the girder bridge girders looking things same color stuff is the foam underneath the track on the outside line
Are you taking about the white woodland scenics risers?
@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies that may be what it is it looks like it's got grooves like tongue and groove up and down
@UncleMattstrains got ya, yeah, it’s foam risers
Love it man love it back to the future baby
Pretty neat for sure! 👍
Very nice. Can this be purchased or did you build this?
You can find them preowned/built on eBay from time to time. Marklin doesn’t produce the kits anymore with a solar panel lid type case. I think Noche still makes the briefcase style or base that you can buy your own case and track for.
I would upgrade it to mth protosound 3.0
Thank Pedro 👍
@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies you're always welcome. I bought 3 protosound 1.0 diesel like new and two work so perfectly I'm get the third on this Wednesday and that on is like new too
@PedrotheOscalecollector 👍
Seve muy maravilloso ese hermosa locomotora
Thank you
Lovely locomotive Mike! Excited to see the full set. I wanna hear the long version of what got you back into Amtrak, I love it!
Thank you Marcus, I can’t wait for the full set. I’ll fill you in on the Amtrak move for sure. 👍
I thought MTH trains shut down after the owner retired so how can this be a new train???
Hi, MTH is still in business and still going strong. They restructured and are running leaner. They don’t produce catalogs but make run of their own and several custom runs for hobby shops and collaborate with Atlas on projects as well. I’m happy he decided not to sell and close down MTH. 👍🙂
No I just have one four car set , and still in box It was Nice running into you at York(:
For sure 👍
Beautiful 👍👍❤️
Thank you
Awesome looking locomotive 🚂 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ I'm looking for a santa fe northern steamer scaled I've been looking for one for a long time
Thank you! The Santa Fe Northerns are definitely some of my favorites. There are a lot of good options available.
Really nice P47, I have one in black Ho scale, not as nice but it works for me. Thanks for the undate/s and videos.
Thank you, HO is a good way to go also 👍 you’re welcome, thank you for checking out the video.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies Always a great time watching Locomotive's and remember yester years.
@keepamericayisraelgreat5708 For sure 👍
Amazing engine Mike.
Thank you Hunter
Whistle sounds cool!
👍
Beautiful engine doesn’t get much better than that 😃👍🚂
Agreed 👍
Holy cow MTH did fantastic!!! As usual. 😊
Yes they did 👍
Absolutely beautiful locomotive Mike! Sounds and looks amazing! Love the paint scheme! ❤️💯😊
Thank you! 👍
Mike, this engine is gorgeous, and 2nd to none!! It has more detail than than most vision line locos and for less money, I would imagine. I'm glad you had a nice vacation. Sou ded great! Take Care, Joe Gozzo
Thanks Joe, I agree with you, I’m really impressed with the overall finish of the locomotive. Done well, great colors, and no factory flaws. Thank you my friend!
Nice Cars , I have a set as well . I do Like your New Engine (:
Thank you, did you find the add ons to yours?
@ No , hoping they will make the Cab car .
@train-addict4656 ok, I need to hunt down the add on model numbers, that’s why I was curious if you had the numbers. It was definitely a spur of the moment purchase. Tiny Tim’s Trains is where I bought these and no one else appears to have any. 👍
Wow MTH did a good job !!! I have the Amtrak Cap stones I run with an AEM-7 PS3 took me 2 years to find that little toaster 😂
Very nice! That has to look great, I had a PS2 toaster and sold it last year. I wasn’t going to keep Amtrak in my O Guage line up and changed my mind. I’ll find one again. 🙂👍
I tried calling mth yesterday. Nobody answered and the line went dead.
I’ll keep you posted on what I find out with trying to get a couple parts replaced. 👍 thank you John.
Thank ups or Fedex. Those dudes do not give a 💩
I’ve been lucky so far, this was my first one damaged from shipping. I’ve heard horror stories though.
There's a train auction in my area tomorrow that has the older mth proto3 blue comet premier set from 10yr ago
That’s a neat version also, even the PS1 looked good. 👍🚂
beautiful engine
Thank you
My MTH P3 Daylight & cab forward both have a plastic dome over speaker, wonder if this gives them that tinny sound. Did you make a video on building the speaker box
I didn’t make a video, I used balsa wood from the local hobby shop and an exact-o say. I had a pill bottle that was the perfect diameter to trace and cut a hole for the speaker. I used a dremel to cut the hole out.
Ok mike nice invention, I'm going to pull apart my PS3 cab forward and Daylight and try it. But i'm not changing the speakers
My MTH cab forward has the Vanderbilt style tender and is too narrow at the bottom for me to build the box. It would work great on my daylight.
That foam looks great
Thank you
Very great trains 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚃🚂🚂🚃🚃🚂🚂🚂🚃🚂🚂🚃🚃🚂
Thank you
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies your welcome
@elijahglasser1421 🙂
Do you by any chance hit the spring/fall Neuse River Valley shows at the NC State Fair grounds?
Hi, I haven’t gone to that one, is a good size meet?
@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies It's a decent show I'd say. Mostly HO and N scale stuff, but there's also a number of people selling O scale stuff as well. Several layouts set up as well, along with the Sipping and Switching one. Of course your opinion of the show may differ from mine if you actually see it for yourself. If memory serves me correctly I've seen a few German HO scale bits there as well once or twice.
@SOU6900 sounds like our local train shows, a lot of N and HO, and mostly older O gauge stuff with very little G, S, and Standard gauge mixed in. Opposite of York.
@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies I'm already hearing next falls show should be a bit larger. I remember the spring show this year seemed to have a bigger O gauge turn out with most of those vendors in an overflow area.
@SOU6900 thanks for the info! 👍
I have a sealed MTH Blue Comet set with add on Baggage car unopened set from 1991. Standard Gauge. $3500. firm.
Thank you for the offer, I am going to wait for now since I have preorders coming in. I have the new release O gauge MTH Blue Comet with PS3 and 9 or 10 cars for it that should arrive any time now. I appreciate the heads up.
Williams best runners 🎉🎉🎉
They run great for sure! 👍
Hey Mike. It’s G from Canada. My son and I were next to you at the TCA Auction. Somehow I stumbled upon your channel which is super cool. Glad to see the Ives train running, what a beauty!!
Hey G! I am so happy you found the channel. I hope you guys are having fun running your additions to your collection. It was great meeting you both and you guys had some really nice items you won as well. Keep in touch! If you have Facebook I’m an admin for Pops O Scale Trains or Michael Lovasco on FB, either way, I’d like to stay in touch. Thanks for checking out our channel. 👍
I bought the Chessie one!
That’s a nice one also! 👍
Incredible Haul! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, you’re welcome. 👍
I live in MD and went to East Main trains in Thurmont today for their official grand opening they still had the blue comet set he had in the orange hall, I don't collect that era, but the $ he has it probably won't stay long
Thank you for the heads up. 👍
Unfortunately for that model of Northern, the stack and whistle smoke units use the same fluid basin the smoke passages are not isolated. As a result, the smoke takes the path of least resistance which is the stack. Some Lionel locomotives that have whistle steam near the stack may have this problem. Not a good excuse or justification, but hopefully a halfway decent explanation as to “why” that’s occurring.
Yes, thank you, I tried switching the plugs like some suggested and it was worse, almost no smoke either way. I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking the drive line and adding grease, there wasn’t any on the gears in the gear box, I’ve gotten rid of most of the wobble now also. The smoke unit is definitely a bad design, I guess there’s no fixing that or the color of the red paint.
Oh my that is a wonderful find.
Thank you Guss
Hey Mike, we talked about this subject, i can barely walk around the table. I wish i could have caught up with you at cass, but the nissan was in shop, wifes charger blew a engine, we traded them both. Got two new subaru.
Yes we did! lol, would have been nice to see you in person for sure. Maybe next trip. Sorry to hear about the cars!
The new MTH Premier CNJ P47 Pacific's are set to finally arrive at MTH in two weeks on November 7th. Also, they are planning to make a new run of Premier NYC Mohawks very soon. So stay tuned.
I saw your post on Facebook about that, very cool! I have a PS3 3001 specialty set with pacemaker cars, I might order a different number Mohawk if they make it. Would be nice if the made the one at the St Louis Museum of transportation. 🙂
I talked MTH into offering one of the Mohawks with the roller bearing type side rods. MTH only offered that version once 15 years ago in 2010.
@DynamicDuo795 I just looked at mine, it’s cab 3100 not 3001 and has PS2 3Volt. Also has smoke deflectors that can be attached and removed and extra tender details to add. They are nice! I’m excited they are making them again. Also, thanks for the update on the P47, hopefully my Blue Comet with all the cars arrives then as well. 👍
Cool stuff blood. Stop by and say hi next time. I'm in Orange hall with Coasterdynamix.
Sounds good, I will! Thank you
Lionel quality has gone to s***
Appears to be so, I gave them one last chance after several bad preorders a couple years ago. No more wasting money on Lionel for me.
@@Crazy4TrainsToysNHobbies It is sad, the JLC line was amazing, never had issue but they really have gone downhill. I only buy the older models now.
@kgtrains I don’t have any issues out of the JLC line either. 👍
Epoch I: Construction of the first railways, development of steam locomotives, private railway companies with different rolling stock. Epoch II: Intensive unification of construction and operating regulations, partly covering several countries (RIV, RIC), introduction of electric traction and occasional of color light signaling. Epoch III: Reconstruction after the war and development of a modern traction fleet / rolling stock, transition of traction following the expansion of electric and diesel traction. Epoch IV: Completion of the change of traction system, introduction of a scheme for international labeling of rolling stock. Epoch V: Construction of high-speed lines, modern color schemes, beginning liberalization of networks, transformation of state-owned railways into shareholding companies, separation of infrastructure and traction companies, for passenger traffic and goods traffic resp., including operating outside their own network. Epoch VI: In addition to traditional railways, new open access operators with their own traction equipment but now own infrastructure are established and operating national and international passenger and freight services. Improvement of UIC numbering with a 12-digit scheme. Replacement of the existing international agreements (RIC, RIV, etc.) by new ones meeting European requirements (OTIF, TSI). End of the shared management of freight wagons (EUROP and OPW). National high-speed lines reserved for passenger traffic only develop into an international network. Reduction of freight traffic, demolition of smaller facilities and marshalling yards. Fixed formation and reversible multiple unit passenger trains predominate passenger transport, freight traffic is mostly train-load.
Thank you, that’s a great summation of the evolution. 👍
Epoch II and III Maerklin
Thank you
Mike, send it back; sad !
Thank you, I appreciate it. 👍
Lionel also got the B&O heritage unit csx 1827 with wrong color, the real one is Grey similar to the C&O, I guess they used the off white that they used on the f3 postwar remake
That’s interesting for sure, maybe the same color on one of my 2 KCS SD40T’s. They were released the same year and are two different shades of light gray or one is sort of an off white. Substitute paint color maybe? 🤔 lol
If I paid that much for a locomotive I would definitely want it to work like it should
Thank you Charles! 👍
Mike my friend your luck with Lionel and my luck are the same I’ve just about stick with Mth And Atlas I mean every thing I by from Lionel always has to go back even my scale polar express cars and the engine sorry I had a family death and couldn’t make the trip By the way I’ve rode most of the Katy one of the best rail trails I’ve rode and have done many
Hi Dennis, my condolences for your family and your loss. We will catch up someday. That’s awesome that you have ridden the Katy. I was riding it a lot this summer to rehab my leg. Lots of scenery and we often jump on it to ride from home to Main Street St Charles for Coffee and breakfast, or in the afternoon to get an ice cream! Yes, sounds like we have similar luck with Lionel. I was a HUGE supporter and fan at one point. Not so much anymore. I do like MTH and Atlas a lot though. Solid cosmetic finishes and no issues with electronics or operating. 👍
I would send it back. You pay out the butt for a locomotive it should be flawless in every aspect. So yeah I would send it back to Pat's and get my money back Mike.
Thank you Jerome, I agree. There was other stuff I wanted from MTH or Atlas but I took a chance on this one because I thought I’d like it. I’d rather spend my money on the other stuff at this point. 👍
I'd be sending that sucker back. For that amount of $$ you'd expect it to be perfect. Cheers from eastern TN
Thank you Rusty! I love Tennessee! 👍
I'd just sell it and get rid of it. You can't get it fixed. Lionel won't fix it, and there's no parts available.
@DynamicDuo795 thanks Alex
