    Great Video! i would like to mention, Ross leased CP 1278 for excursions for his High Iron Company, when the excursions became almost too much for 1278, he struck the deal for 759, 759 pulled multiple excursions for HIC, and then starred in the GSCL. And also, on September 12 and 13th 1970, 759 pulled multiple Excursions over Horseshoe Curve. 759 remained in Ross's hands until 1973.

  • @patrickwamsley3284
    @patrickwamsley3284 3 роки тому +5

    I would absolutely love to see Nickel Plate 170 back in steam. I don't think there are any 4-6-4 Hudsons operational anywhere in North America and I think we could use more engines with elephant ear smoke detectors.
    And I also have a brass model of an nkp Hudson I'd live to have authentic sounds for but there's only one recording of the sounds of the L1 Hudsons.

    • @patrickwamsley3284
      @patrickwamsley3284 3 роки тому +2

      I have an audio file of that 1958 recording and I believe there is a clear enough sample of the whistle to program into a decoder but you can't hear the bell, which isn't so bad as it's easier to hear the bell of a non-operating engine than its whistle.
      The recording is from Fast Freight on the Nickel Plate, an audio recording of trains on the nkp circa 1958. The sound of the Hudson is from NKP 175 recorded from the express freight boxcar at the head end of the train.

    Berkshires 755 and 763 (along with UP 8444, N&W 611, and ATSF 2925) were all proposed candidates for Ross Rowland's American Freedom Train, however none of this 5 engines were used, though reasons why are probably pretty obvious from the surface level. The biggest being 611 and 8444 were the only operational locomotives, and it would be a lot of money to restore any of the other 3 engines

    Pere Marquette 1225 and nickel plate road 765 is the most famous locomotive in Berkshire. pere Marquette 1225 became famous because of the movie called the Polar Express.
    Nickel plate road 765 is famous too because he's the Fastest and strongest engine in the Berkshire. Also pere Marquette 1225 is my oc in the future and I made pere Marquette and nickel plate road became brothers in real life they both built by Lima locomotive works
    And they used for pulling coaches and trucks called mixed traffic engines because there are capable of pulling coaches and trucks.
