Hi Eric, nice video and the way it looks.
Skipping is for the weak! Lol
@@railtietate3182 Sorry
Hi Eric. I like your new EMD DD35A ATSF and along with your union Pacific 72 DD35A was awesome to see though's two engine's running together.
@@landonmckeen4221 thanks!
The Santa Fe paint scheme is an absolute stunner, and it paired brilliantly with your UP DD35A! 😍 As a lover of big engines, be it diesel or steam, it was a real treat witnessing those two behemoths running together. Not to mention, those snowplow cars at the end were a sight to behold. Hats off to you for capturing such an impressive and remarkable video! 👌
Who knew the fridge was right there in the front! Good fun fact. Pretty massive locomotive. Sounds great!
Love the Santa Fe paint scheme and it looked good running with you UP DD35A. I love big engines, diesel or steam, it was really cool seeing 2 of these behemoth engines running together and those snowplow cars at the end just before the caboose were really cool as well. Great video.
I adore your channel, Eric! Discovered it yesterday, and I've been hooked ever since. Thanks a bunch for the captivating content!
If the DD35A locomotive came in the Santa Fe Warbonnet paint scheme, I would most certainly buy one.
TY for doing the comparison to the previous generation! That is simply fantastic information, and I don't know where you'd find it anywhere else.
The modern generation of Lionel goes back to the 90s, so many of these engines have 3 if not 4 generations. I'd love to see a full comparison between the current engine, the 10 year, 20, and 30 year variants.
IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU MADE THIS VIDEO ON MY 60th BIRTHDAY. 😅
i’ve never clicked on a video so fast
Same
The Best Feature In My Opinion is watching the trains run on your layout!
I love the F in front of the loco strands for fridge, were they allowed to bring what ever beer they wanted. I love you man just started watching your UA-cam and thank God your knowledge on model railroading and prototype, keep it up.
I understand that F was a joke but just to be clear guys, it means Front, as in The front of the engine
The layout scenery really pops. Looks great
I've been hoping for you ti review this since your first run, amazing!
Awesome locomotive and nice video!
Dear Erictricians I like your ATSF 1650 DD35a with UP 72 DD35A Locomotives together. I think it is Awesome 😎.
Hello, Fun fact for you if you have ever been on one of the many DDA40X units the center walkway path between the 2 hoods in real life aren't Actually Connected there is a Gray Rubber divider between both hood tops as most think there connected their Wrong and the Reason behind why they're Not connected is to deal with Stress Flexing when the unit is Amped up in Notches, a Huge tell tell sign of this is the Walkways near the center of the unit are in fact Grilled walkways giving more Flexibility when power is pushed out. Another Fun Fact about the DDA40X is the Brake Wheel which is a Pump Handle Style Brake is located in the Cab behind the Engineer as that's why you don't see any brake wheel outside around the walkways.
Great review, I would love to see a visionline DD40X.
The db35a is one of the rare circumstances where I like diesel locomotives
Eric you have such a great layout.
I never saw the dd35, but the last of the dd40X were finishing up when I started. It was crammed back as far as possible in assembly bay and still covered half the walkway down the front. Monsterous but beautiful. I heard UP did not like them because they were hard to turn around.
Would love to see these two DD35As running with the DDA40X. 👀
Hi Eric great video, this train is awesome! it looks great, especially in the Santa Fe paint scheme👍
Thanks!
This is Amazing Diesel Locomotive Eric, the Paint Scheme is Brilliant.👍
Glad you like it
What a Beautiful Engine
Very cool engine Eric!!!
Beautiful video
I never knew they built a cabless version of those at 2:42 .
That would be really neat to see both the A an B models going down the rails at the same time like in the picture at 3:12
I relized fully the sheer size of these things with the purchase of a MTH DDA40X back int he PS1 era. I just had to add a dummy unit for effect. But the dummy unit was so heavy, that I bought a _second_ powered unit to help schlep all that dead weight around. If I MU'ed these up with my Big Blow turbine all I'd need would be Tim Allen's trademark grunt to complete the image.
Alot of us ho scale modelers are still waiting for some manufacturer to do the DD35A's & DD35B's.I'd love to have the GP35 DD35B Demo units to add to the collection!
Still waiting to get my hands on an Athearn Genesis DD40
YES A NEW VIDEO HELL YEAH
Very cool :) Ilike the Alaska railroad one :)
😳WoW that is a huge Engine!
Great diesel Eric.
I was fortunate enough to get the mth DDA40X dealer appreciation loco at a local train auction in fall 21' for a bargain of $300 NIB
Is the paint on yours ok?
@@Ericstrains yes, it was still wrapped in plastic, I ran it once at local train store to show them the nice engine and once on my track in the attic b4 placing it back inbox. I have a couple ZW trans but would like to get a MTH zw4000 for better short circuit protection
This is probably the biggest diesel locomotive I’ve ever seen in my lifetime
Oh now theirs a great topic for discussion. “SHELF LIFE”! Lionel no problem! MTH BIG problem!! I have a shelf with all the UP Turbines. With the exception of the first VERANDA 18149 all are MTH. While the grey atop Big Blow is cracking it’s the Propane Turbine’s die cast tender. Both trucks are quite literally exploding in slow motion! The chrome is separating from the die cast in a twisting way… how do I get replacement trucks? Today…
very nice 😀
the F means that it is the front! good joke about the fridge thought!
I just ordered our first EMD DD. A 2011 Lionel 6-38499 PRR 2383 non powered from Trainz for just $252. Ironically it features legacy control for its smoke output which is odd as it’s non powered for normally the smoke units would just “stream” the smoke instead of being adjustable for non powered units.
Also BTW, my MTH U50C’s blow the DD35’s out of the water. GE for the win!
The "F" on the locomotive's sides is actually supposed to mark the front of the locomotive
Omg lol this thing is a beast
Nice engine
I wish mth would do another run of the dda40x. I've been trying to track down the csx version for a few years now
Nice and Bigg. Better pulling power perhaps with more traction tires could have been nice.
Ditch lights too....😊
You know what would be Kool is to have a Presidential Color scheme in Steam Locomotive Diesel like they did the Bush !
I seen a video a few years ago where a guy showed the dd40. He open every door on the loco. The video was an hour or longer.
Dd35 In a ABA set was so OP.
Really Eric? The F stands for what? Funny Eric, that was real funny. "F" LMAO As you so aptly pointed out. And!! As far as I'm aware Santa Fe never had any DD35's. Union Pacific did and Sourthern Pacific had some cabless DD35's. Nice show. Fun stuff. BarstowRick out.
Thanks!
This is cool,l love it. How long did it take to build and how much.😊
Nice DD35A Eric! 👍🏼, when was the last time they released those
I'd like to see MTH product a DD35A & B in HO Scale.
I'm sure Cowl unit productions will roast it when he does the review
The air horn you selected is incorrect. I remember the DD35 when it was in actual service. It used the Leslie S3L air horn, which was the third one in your selection of five.
I believe that the "multi horn" (and bell) is just the same sound sample played at different pitches. At least that's what it sounds while he's demonstrating the feature..
Eric did you do your layout from your imagination or is it of a certain area! I Love the Santa Fe Caboose. Awesome Details.
Imagination
I like the bigger engines I have a dd40 on my ho layout had to upgrade the curves so it could move around better wish I had more of them and maybe a centipede or turbine lol
6:40 No Eric, F means front.
Lol it was a joke. And a funny one at that!
Eric You should not hold your DD35 with one hand under the fuel tank. The shell could crack. It happened to my friend who had a DD35 from the first Legacy release and he had to replace the shell. Hold the engine using two hands one under each truck.
Hey Eric, I've been thinking about purchasing a lionel Alaska rr i12 caboose. I was curious if you know how good the smoke units on those are.
I been waiting on this review for quite some time now, particularly this engine. How did you feel about it’s weight for its size and performance from the previous model? I feel like Lionel didn’t do this magnificent engine justice, better details more metal than plastic and overall I feel like for such a long and large engine it doesn’t have that massive look next to a SD70ACe or my favorite an ES44AC, looks a bit small next to it.
NICE! Love the colors of the Santa Fe. Too bad the real Santa Fe didn't run them. Wonder what other railroads would look great?
All of the above lol 😆
It's not just me that thinks the 0 on the cab number looks odd, right?
Imagine if someone did a CSX DD35A custom run, #9000. How sweet would that be?
Hey Eric what are your thoughts on MARTA. As a fellow Georgia resident I try to use the system when I can but I'm curious as to your take on it. I think it needs to expand across the state or be supplemented with more passenger rail
Eric, made sure to read all comments in case you already answered. You showed how the paint on your MTH DD35A was cracking. Is this issue a common one for these older locomotives or just happened to yours?
0:58 always seen that UPRR SD70M in the back, do you have a video of it?
I've done a video specifically on that locomotive, but it's been featured in several running session videos over the years. It's a Lionel SD70 from around 2005 or so.
I always keep it on the layout because it was the first Lionel command control locomotive that I got...way back in the day.
@@Ericstrains interesting! Thank you I’ll go watch it now! 🙂
6:38 i thought i it ment front, and still do, refrigerator doesn't start with R lol
I wish they would have this in HO scale with today's standards
I forgave Lionel for the truck mounted pilot a while ago when I understood how large O stuff is, but I have yet again a large hatred for them now because the step that you flip down to go to another loco is upside down, and usually it's as easy fix but you can't fix it because it's molded in. It's the little things that really get on my nerves, especially things that can cause operating issues because now it will instead of sliding freely ontop of another one, will get stuck on others and mesh like a gear. The pain this company puts me through is immense.
Eric, how about a video on the flanger?
What's the difference other than road numbers between the Alaska dd35 5000 and 5001? They look identical.
What does the (dependable), (shield) and so forth following the locomotive name mean?
Thanks
I love these locos but have had a terrible time with the spacing of the trucks and pickups causing shorts on my layout. I have nothing but O72 curves with Atlas track. I have a pennsy 2011 version and I can’t get it around my main line without it shorting through certain switches. Had same problem with older Lionel Pennsy T-1 (which i was able to return) Anyone else have the shorting problems with the DD35 ?
Questions cast metal frame or sheet metal, detailed cab interior, Diecast trucks, not all Wheels driven, conventional model or no.
cute play F and beer
I have a question, can u do the Nickel Plate Road 765 again 🥺
Still waiting for one being made in HO scale. 😮💨 Athearn, ScaleTrains? Anyone?
My favorite is union pacific big boy #4014
What would it's length difference be sitting next to the Big Boy or combined to head one train?
The DD35A is a few feet longer than the Big Boy locomotive without its tender.
I live in Alaska. There’s no way this unit could ever run on these tight turns that’s on the Alaska Railroad. They couldn’t even run the Two E units back in the 1960s they would derail because of the tight turns. As for the Santa Fe. They didn’t waste there money on these oversized units. I think the wide cab units looked so sharp and were ahead of there time.
they will bring back lionel dd35a someday
What were the red and yellow units at the back just before the caboose?
Snow plows ;)
@@Ericstrains I thought they were but I didn't want to sound silly by making a comment that they were 😁
These sound the same as the LIONEL GP30s.
No working ditch lights?? 😢
You may have some problems with it ,they made a few that gave problems my buddie bought the same 1 you purchased and after 3 weeks had to return it ,So be careful but you know how to fix so it won't be hard for you 😉
I've had it for 6 months so I think it's ok.
@Eric's Trains that's great then you got lucky 😊 Happy Railroading buddie
Who likes trains like me
CAN THAT ENGINE MAKE THE TURNS OK?
My only complaint is the trucks still look like crap. If they put the MTH DD40 trucks under this model then it’d be perfect.
I was thinking the same thing they look horrible. Just one big piece of very minimal detail plastic
@@jwrailve3615, agreed. The MTH DD40 trucks look far far better.
6936 is owned by the freinds of Milwaukee road
I always wondered where they kept the beers.
Now you know!
@@Ericstrains lol - no doubt!
I’m early yay first time for every thing
Big question how do you say it
DD40AX
DDA40X
DDA40X
Yes I had to sell my dd35s back to Jason McGhee because I hit a bad track in my life and my future wife Stephanie is my new life now
Extra long locomotive
But she says I can have my trains back again because I'm going to be in money pretty much
Makes no sense for Lionel to make this engine in any other paint scheme besides Union Pacific
IT makes perfect sense :)
the paint issue should never happen
It's 14 years old, sometimes materials don't age right. It happens.
Front,
the F means Front
You sure about that? I read on wikipedia that it was Fridge lol
@@Ericstrains i talked with a rr conductor and i asked him what does the f mean, he replied with front
When you said the F on the side in the front was for the frig that was a joke I’m sure
what material is used to make locomotives or trains ? are they metal ?
Depends. For diesels like this it’s typically a plastic shell on top of a metal frame. For steam it’s usually all die-cast metal.
