Have a merry Christmas train man
Nathan I have both engines but my Wabash F-3 is a Postwar Celebration Series engine built by Lionel Trains Incorporated (LTI). If you put Lionel MPC cars with fast angle metal wheel sets and needlepoint bearings behind the BN GP-20 it will pull more of those types of cars same goes for the Wabash F-3. Thank you for sharing this and as always Happy Railroading!!!
Thanks for the tip! I do want to note that I basically just tested the pulling power and weight of the train, using the same set of postwar cars for both, to keep the tests as consistent as possible. I've also heard that putting a postwar commutator into an MPC diesel can actually make an engine perform better. Thanks for replying!
Nathan the commutator is the little round piece with the 3 copper segments that is on top of the armature. If you put a postwar armature into an MPC diesel the motor is going to get hot an the engine won't run properly. As far as using postwar parts in MPC trains most of them will work because after all most MPC and later LTI trains are based on the postwar trains. I hope that this information helps you and as always Happy Railroading!!!!
@@MatthewJoseph-td5qc That's right! I got a little mixed up with the terminology. Thank you for the additional info!
You are very welcome Nathan!!
Great sharing enjoyed this video!
Thanks!
Nice video n I scrb you 👍❤
while the diesel is no longer needed for PTC, is it not needed for head end power for the consist?
I think they still used the diesel for additional power, probably to save on the wear and tear of steam locomotive parts, when the Big Boy has to endure grades.
Neat. Have a good 4th of July Nathan?
Was great, how about you?
@@NPFIlms-LionelTrains good.
You science education original, made things wonderful good useful make human life happy ❤I love 💘 it God bless you and protect you from strangers savagery, this beautiful
Nice choice of cars for the consist
Hey thanks! I didn't have too many white train cars, but I managed to work something out.
Amazing Nathan.
I Was There Too when I saw It Then Chased It To Del Paso Heights Video On My Channel
It could be fun if the public of Sacramento got to see the Big Boy train on display like they did with the 844 train,and people travel to come see it on display but i don't know when they would do that again really.
@@JoshuaBarnett-d3l I asked Ed Dickens about that and he said the next time they do a train tour they would bring it to Old Sac.
Nice to see that steam instead of what you find on the sidewalk.
@@joshuapaul349 It is, fun stationary and moving too!
@@NPFIlms-LionelTrains I meant the fecal matter you find steaming on the sidewalks.
@@joshuapaul349 😂 Didn’t know you meant that!
Wall to wall foamers. 😆
@@markfrench8892 In their natural habitat
I don't know if I'm right, but I consider that this locomotive has 7000 HP on the drawbar, because it has two powers: output power and original, the original is 8550 HP, because when it was delivered in 1941, its power output, which is what fuels the traction effort, was 6290 HP, and the original power was 7450 HP, an enormous difference compared to now, How the Allegheny is an Original mallet, that is why it is slower, that is how they put it to transport coal, this locomotive is to transport merchandise and income, they are two tasks the Yellowstone for minerals and the norfolk AND western for express coal.
I was there, but not taking video. Thanks so much for sharing this!
No problem!
Is there a way to track this trains journey?
Search up UP Big Boy tracker on Google. They have their own website and twitter that tells you it's current location!
Why have they had to add the diesel loco back to the train? I thought they had found a solution to having a diesel as part of thet train.
@@davidbross6942 Something along the lines of a pusher engine to help the big boy up grades, and prevent the wearing out of parts.
@NPFIlms-ionelTrains верно,Большого Мальчика надо беречь😊
@@NPFIlms-LionelTrains4014 doesn't need any help, not with 7000 HP on tap. They say the diesel is for dynamic braking to conserve the shoes on the Big Boy.
@@brucefrytz8611I think I once heard on a video that the shoes can run around $25,000 as they have to be custom made.
Being from Cheyenne, the rare occasions the big boy is out, you can hear the whistle all over town, awesome
Wow! No graffiti on any of the cars. Great video! Thank You
@@IdahoPohTaToh That’s what I thought as well! You can actually see the parts of the cars that they touched up.
Not fair. They should have made a visit to the bay area 😢
Great touches with the WP Heritage Diesel! UP Delivers!
I still hate seeing a diesel behind her.
HOW CAN CALIFORNIA PUSH THE ELECTRIC CAR CRAP , DIESEL EMISSION CRAP , MAKE RAILROAD (( GE )) MANUFACTURERS MEET OVER BLOWN EMISSION STANDARDS ??? YET LET A ----- SMOKING DINOSAUR INTO THE STATE ??????? BEHIND CLOSED POLITICAL DOOR SIT A CROOKED POLITICAL PARASITE THAT MAKES THEY'RE OWN VOTERS BUY INTO THEIR LYING GARBAGE ON POLLUTION !!!!!!!! AND YET , THE PEOPLE FALL FOR IT AND DON'T REALIZE IT UNTIL SOMEBODY LIKE ME MENTIONS THE BIAS HYPOCRITES RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU !!!!! YOUR WELCOME !!!!!
OUTSTANDING ! ! !
Солидарна😊
Somewhere they switched diesel locomotives.
I think it was switched in Portola CA.
I read they wanted the WP 1983 Heritage unit to go through the Feather River Canyon.
Both Amtrak Zephyr trains literally missed Big Boy by mins😢.
It really did, but I think the Big Boy stopped to wait for the trains to pass.
Didn't come down to Santa Barbara. Maybe tuns to sharp.
Great soundtrack !
Thanks!
Nice tutorial - good views, too.
Thanks!
Gotta love those streamliners! I always though the flying yankee was the sexiest train I ever saw, still do. Very nice layout! Thanks for sharing!
No problem! The Flying Yankee is definitely a good looking train.
GREAT camera work, Nathan! You have a creative eye -- there are a LOT of really interesting shots and angles. And the Duke Ellington is the sonic icing on the cake!
Thank you Patrick! I really try to make these videos special for people like you to enjoy.
I’ll be dipped…that was informative as heck!!
Too much info about trestles!
It seems i have found another there goes a train enjoyer, i can tell from the music
Absolutely right!
I love those classics , great job with the camera work .
Thanks Ray!
Beautiful layout, and thank you for your content!
Thank you!
I love the mural on your layout, it's awesome
Thanks! Just painted it this summer!
Wow that was amazing the way the camera moved it was smooth. That’s a cool looking backdrop as well
Thanks Sean! The camera was moved on some gondolas and tube track.
A well done footage. I really like the fluid camera movements.
The helicopter footage - I love it!!! Well done!!
Thanks!
Cool Nathan. How much were they?
The Commodore Vanderbilt was in a lot with my Flying Yankee, which totaled about $125. The 1073e set was purchased like new, with original boxes and transformer, for about $200.
It looks like on the left side, the crank on the middle wheel is incorrectly installed (flipped 180 degrees), which would explain why the locomotive "hesitated" at the start of the video (around 0:04). The right side seems OK (0:15). I'd fix that since, when flipped, the crank places additional stress on the motor, and can even break its locking teeth or even damage the teeth socket on the wheel.
Hey Crosley, thanks for pointing that out. Never noticed that before, but I'll make sure to correct that mistake. That's a tad bit strange because I've never taken apart the crank on the engine before, and it must've been done by the previous owner.
Looks like a prewar Christmas morning.
Thanks! That was the look I was going for. Christmas in July!
I've also got other "actual" Christmas videos on the channel if you want to give them a look.
@@NPFIlms-LionelTrains I will
Wonderful 😊😊😊
@@raysrails2164 Thanks!
Good clip with great music
Very cool
Great video. Congratulations

Your cinematography and editing is top notch! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, H.O. Scalemodeler! I try my best in videos and I really appreciate the kind words! These are the types of comments that keep me going.
Beautiful engine Nathan.
Thanks Hunter!
Yeah, I'd like to have that steamer! Nice.
Thanks!
A great segment! Very interesting camera angles.
