Christmas train series to document and share our holiday layout at it grows. Today the Polar Express Berkshire arrives with a very exciting paint scheme. It seems the Base 3 may need update because the listed audio commands in the app are completely different that what each one plays, and they often just repeat "this is the north pole". Hope to see that update soon. Use code BIGBOYTRAINS at Tra...

Much larger York Haul this time, Fall 2024

For the fall York TCA train show I was able to snag a lot more items than our last visit! THis time around I knew more of what to expect, and came with a plan! Side note, still working through some green screen challenges with the new layout table being so close to it. Making progress, but sadly you still see some of these issues as we improve every video.

Since time didn't allow for the 360 camera this year, I went for an aerial overview of the member halls. . I also chose to go this route because many members are still under the impression that video is not allowed, even though it started being allowed in the Spring. So I am slowly getting them used to cameras being in the halls. The majority of vendors are still uncomfortable with close up fil...

Lionel Vision Line US Army Triplex. Amazing but worst malfunction yet!
Переглядів 11 тис.Місяць тому
Lionel Vision Line Custom Army Dewight D Eisenhower Triplex, by Mr. Muffins Trains. Out of the box I can't understand why the 3rd set of drive gear is not in sync and often spins in the opposite direction. I don't want to come off as a Lionel hater. I'm not! I LOVE the products I get from them. it's just really hard to not call out every quality control issue I receive with the amount of money ...
Lionel U.S. Army Passenger car set. . Another broken item!

I was pretty excited to fnally take deliver of these cars, since I had bee nwaiting a few months to pick them up. As you would expect, I was quite chocked to see yet another expencise item fall apart outn of the box. Not only was the car missing screws, the all of the doors on the passenger car are cracked. Both of these items came in seperate boxes. Quite the dissappointment.

Amazing Lego Train Layout with SD40-2’s !!!
holy shit that's actually SICK!!
There's a difference between O gauge and O scale. O scale is for model railway's and O gauge is train go around Christmas tree.
I agree with ya, Jerry! But the moment I put O-Scale on there, then all the 2 rail guys start to comment that scale doesn't have a middle rail 🙂
why is the polar express blue?-
15:09 to 16:30 is the Wiz Kidz Z scale trains of Milwaukee.
Veteran approved 👌
Thank you, Sir! And nice work on your Berwyn video!! I was going to film that, but went to Train Fest instead. Glad I did because your video did the job very well!
Polar Express and Christmas trains, wonderful
The kids loves this, thank you
That's a whole lot of trains!
very nice!
Awesome
It was great meeting and scanning you at the Show!
So cool! These layouts are so diverse and superb. They give me some ideas for my layout, which I need to get going on the scenery. It was humorous to see you on that rotating pad, for sure. There are a number of O gauge UA-camrs that feature the Milwaukee Road and Wisconsin, in general. My dad was born and raised in Columbus, WI, in 1912 and was a Badger alum. I haven't been back since I was a little boy. I'll have to make the Pilgrimage next year. An excellent video, as always.
A couple of things caught my eye. That huge, coal drag and the Burlington Zephyr, that was really moving. I just love fast, streamlined passenger trains, especially the stainless steel streamliners, which look cool running at passenger train speeds. That coal train was impressive, with all of those cars. It is pretty much like the ones that I ran from Conway and Chicago to Toledo. They are some of the smoothest trains to run. It's great to see trains like that on big layouts.
Glad you are enjoying the videos, John. It's great to have ya
So I have the serial cable along with the SCR2 along with the USB adapter to make everything work, going to the base three I cannot figure out how to make a TCC engine or a legacy engine operate using the WTIU Has anybody figured this out yet?
There is a specific FTDI USB adapter needed that is coming soon, as Mike mentioned in the video.
May I ask which railroad scenery you used for the green screen because I would to have one to
It's a Christmas rail station backdrop off of Adobe Stock. . . $80 for that single image. . I know, I know it's pricey. But this is what we do to make nice videos for people to enjoy.

Holy MOLY! What am I doing spinning my wheels at York when I could just go up the road to THIS! Next year this one is on my list!! What an amazing show! Thanks for sharing it
Make a trip of it. Also hit the Illinois Railway museum and set yourself up to operate a diesel engine during the trip!
A lot of nice layouts. Thanks for the video
Incredible coverage Steve! Absolutely perfect in every way. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.💯😎
Thank you, Frank!
When we first heard about this at the store we couldn't wait for the release. This is an awesome game changer for the hobby. We can't wait to get ours for the store and show everyone this is a must have device. Thank you so much for a great video and explanation. And you are right, we show kids they can run their DC trains from their phones and they become hooked on the hobby.
Thanks for sharing, nicely done. I’m still not happy with Mike Wolf and the debacle he put the company through. Thousands of people bought and supported MTH and for whatever reason he sold off the company to Lionel, Atlas. What was left the employees stepped and bought in on what was left of MTH. They saved the company.
interesting but I hope one day mth/atlas make dead rail locos that run on battery. no more track cleaning and no more electrical faults and you just re-charge the battery once it runs out.
Have the original DCS System along with the Lionel tmcc,works just fine for me but getting further away from the 3 rail O scale market,switching to more realistic G scale 2 rail using the Railpro battery system,and will be looking into the Blunami system since it will work on regular DC power.
Me da doiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis
Me da dois desse brincedo
I still don’t understand Mike Wolf’s deal. He had an o gauge company and he wanted to buy Lionel. I heard he even had Lionel on his mantel in stone. Then he sold his company but still has his company? Does he make and sell O, HO, DCC? It’s good to be focused.
Sounds like the rumor mill has hit ya pretty hard. . In talking to him in person, and mentioning many of the things I have also heard. His response was to not believe all the stories and rumors that float around the internet
@@BigBoyTrains- dear hartford whaler... buffalo sabre denny here !!! mike wolf is the biggest asshole around !! i have spoken to him 3 times and he was totally condescending each time !!! many,many people have interacted with him and all come to the same conclusion.... he's a great example of why we use toilet paper !!!
@@BigBoyTrains-so what is the truth? Mike sold off MTH assets (tooling) to Lionel and Atlas, right? Does MTH still exist as an independent company? Is Mike still associated with MTH?
@markgardner6858 Mike sold off a small percentage of the tooling. MTH is still very much in business. This was from his mouth
@@BigBoyTrains- thank you sir
Wait didn’t Mike retire?
Mike stepped down from his role, to one with less responsibility. But he is still very much involved!!!
@@BigBoyTrains-i thought MTH split the company into sections and sold them off o scale to atlas and ho to scale trains? How is there still new MTH stuff?
I understand your thought this. But that is not correct I formation. . They sold some tooling, yes. But the company as a a whole is still intact. They just operate differently than what you were used to. They are constantly releasing new trains and accessories.
@BigBoyTrains- that's interesting thank you for clarifying that for me
Gonna play Mariah Carey Christmas music lol
Great video of Mike Wolf.
Absolutely gorgeous Steve! Very impressive!! 💯❤️😊
Outstanding videography! It’s so nice to see Mike Wolf again. Mike did an excellent job explaining everything in detail. Thank you for sharing in 4k Steve! 💯❤️😎
Glad to see Mike is doing good and showing you the new WTIU!
This is fascinating. Where Lionel seems to have made the Base3 a closed system that only works with Lionel products, the MTH approach with the WTIU seems to welcome interoperability
Right! When I saw that the Base3 could be connected to the WTIU, I was very much intrigued. Very cool
You have that completely backwards. The only reason that DCS can control TMCC is that Lionel published all the commands for TMCC and Legacy as open source from day 1. MTH has always threatened to sue anyone who tried to market devices using DCS. When the Legacy Base first came out, it was hinted at that Lionel reverse engineered the DCS code and was going to include it. They got shutdown by MTH. MTH at one time also claimed that the open source DCC had some infringement issues with a few of their patents. So MTH's closed systems is why until recently you never saw anyone using DCS besides MTH. For several years Dave Hikel was the only person licensed to use DCS on his products. He was designing a control system that never really took off. Recently MTH licensed DCS to Atlas when Atlas bought some licenses to MTH products.
@ oh wow, I did have that flipped around. Thanks for the info!
Sticking with my old reliable DCS system. Easy to use compared to LIONEL'S system. Found it too confusing to operate. Both new operating systems will have bugs for some time. When my DCS fails going back to traditional transformer method that i grew up with in the early 1950's. Still have use of bell / whistle functions on transformer.
I hear you. I'm actually getting burned out with all of this tech stuff and am thinking about selling my modern stuff off and just sticking with my prewar and postwar trains because they'll be running long after the tech stuff has failed.
Great video, thanks for sharing! That shimmering blue is a good fantasy scheme for a train from the North Pole. I don’t blame you for trading out the red one. Intriguing horn option to go with the unique color - nice. Happy holidays Steve!
Where did you get your Polar Express Berk?
They can only be purchased from lionelstore.com
Nice Looking Engine & Tender, Cars too!
So I noticed they eliminated some of the movie dialogue from the previous version. I can’t get the annoying kid asking “do you know what type of train this is!?” Have you been able to get that sound?
Awesome!! Hope they do a run of the passenger cars in this, with maybe the flat red color for the stripe❤💙
I see what you mean, Steve-too much red. I ordered the legacy set and five add-on cars. I wish that they had different versions of the main set. So you have a choice of which engine you'd get with the set
It's awesome 💯💯
Awesome cars man awesome
Seeing the prismatic effect in the paint on that locomotive was amazing! The one item I would definitely have to silence is the repetitious announcement, it didn’t take long for that to get on my nerves. That was my only complaint, I likes the Christmas themed freight cars, those were a nice touch. .
