Running All of My Ho Steam Locomotives Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- In my last video I started running all of my ho scale stream locomotives however due to the length of that video I ended up having to split it up into two parts. There is the second part where I run some of the larger locomotives, some of which are my favorites in the collection. I hope you all enjoy!

I love how your grandmother even got into the train action. I guess we all get something from our grandmothers. I got flying out of mine. She only flew for a while but she did it. It was nice to have her while she was still alive. I may not remember her too much but it makes me happy knowing she did something I like. I feel like everyone has something similar. I hope to see more content from you soon.

Now this is insane. I would probably never own that many locomotives!
The Athearn Genesis locomotives were made by Samhongsa in Korea. The main gear on the axle is prone to splitting like the diesel center gears did on Proto2000. Replacements are available from NWSL. The other issue is the wires get pinched en route to the tender. Love the steamies!
Excellent. Hello again from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Nice collection of locos !!! I feel excited about being able to test my Rivarossi Big Boy soon...
quite a collection brother. Enjoyed the video!
Nice video! You’ve got quite an incredible collection! 👍
A wonderful collection.love it
Awesome collection! When the Part 2 came out I immediately clicked! Also this video gave me an idea for a suggestion, what about having a video showcasing your oldest units? Aka the Varney stuff and the Hiawatha maybe.
Beautiful collections 👏👏👏
This 2 part special is something different. And i like it. Done very well man very good. I also love how every locomotive has a story to be told of. I had a Niagara like yours difference I bought used but a cat destroyed it also had issues with it as well wheels would slide out of loco. I still have the tender not sure what to do with it as of yet.
I would use the tender as a custom. Maybe try making a snowblower since that’s what railroads did back in the day.
@@imfunniguy3744 interesting. I was thinking of just buying a chassis and a shell for the Niagara locomotive from Bachmann and then I will have a updated better version.
I really like the big boy! Great video SMT
7:42 I love the blue goose it one of my favorite blue steam locomotives next to the royal blue and blue comet
Your grandma had trains, and a hiawatha? thats so cool!
Fun fact: the real big boy 4005 derailed at a siding it was repaired and now sits at a railway museum
Yeah it did
The Hiawatha class As and the Daylight are my favourite American steam locos, one day I hope to get a Daylight for my model railway!
Edit: Big boy is also one of my favourites
Impressive collection. Wow!
I got the notification. Thank you for showing us your trains.
My three-year-old loves trains so much and each time you introduce the next one to run, he looks at me and says "Look mommy, look at that one! It's beautiful. "
So a hello from your new fan, Curtis. He thinks your trains are great.
That’s a great collection of steamers! It’s a true shame about your 4449. It’s such a nice looking engine.
“That’s incredible” Kyle petty-2012
Nice video! My favorite Ho scale Steam Locomotive is the blue goose.
Great collection.
It's a great collection, congratulations.
I plan that my future generations will grow up with model railways, starting with me of course. xD
Gotta love those Texas types! Shame the Niagara and Daylight don't run all that well.
YAY! I'm so excited
Very nice collection
3:07 I love that Verney locomotive
if a video doesn’t start with “Well folks” I’m not watching the video
Agreed, agreed!
LOL
Ha
same
I love your steam trains
the athearn genesis' had split gears. they might need replacing.
the MDC 2-8-0 has a screw which attaches the cab. Mine also binds, and clicks.
5:21 Canadian pacific roll on roll on
The big boy #4005 was involved in a wreck that killed the engineer.
Your videos are awesome🎉
There is nothing wrong with doing some collecting and having some projects to work on if you like spending time doing that. That being said, there is also plenty of truth to the advice you hear often given on model railroading sites. Something to the effect that you are better off having 3 or 4 or 5 quality locos that work very well rather that 20 or 30 that don't run well, if at all. Particularly if somewhat realistic scale speed operation is important to you. A younger child is happy running everything at 100 mph scale speed around the layout, which just about anything will do with decent trackage. But as you mature into the hobby, reliable, realistic operation becomes important. Most people serious about the hobby start focusing on quality trackwork and fewer but better running locomotives. Maybe fewer isn't always the case, lol but better operating is.
I completely respect your opinion. I personally like having both some decent and low quality engines to mess around with but I agree, operations wise they don't perform well.
@@SMTMainline There is plenty of room in the hobby for people to do what they like. I am not going to be like some people that get all critical if things are not done exactly prototypically, or the way "they" think things should be done.
Fun fact:bigboy 4005 was going 50mph when 2 men switched the tracks to a siding where 4005 got wrecked
I wish I had that good of luck with mehano. My one steam engine from them worked for awhile but now I can never use it since the trucks fall off the tender no matter how many times I put them back on
You should do another locomotive timeline video about when you got each loco
I have a decent amount of these older HO scales, though most of them are stupidly difficult to get the power to the engine and the motors are almost always jammed. I got a few running actually but I don't have a proper layout to test them on
Hey SMT I think you should make a video of running all your life like locomotives if you haven't done that yet #teamlifelike
Fun fact: 4005 had a crash back in the 1900s killing a few animals and killing its crew but luckily it was repaired after the crash and she was put back in service again before being scrapped I think.
I don't think it was scrapped or put back into service. it was rebuilt though for experimental use.
@SMT Mainline correct/wrong it was rebuilt in early 50s but after the crash it was used to test oil burning.
@@REALFeltysCoinsAndTrains So what was I wrong about?
@@SMTMainline Sorry it was cosmetically rebuilt for a museum. I think that they are going to try to mechanically restore it.
I look it up I was very in correct a sister locomotive has been renumbered to it's number.
I love those Hiawathas
SMT, Bachmann will sell you a brand new set of drivers for your GS4. All you do is remove the 6 small 3mm bolts and the flat screw on the eccentric crank, pull the lower cover and drop the new wheels in. I think they are 40 bucks. I have fixed my 18-20 of these GS4s like that
It feels so cool having a train collection. When did you started collecting trains?
NeonG4meplay probably when he was a kid or began this channel
I'm sorry I was just using
the microphone and I accidentally pressed the sending button so what I was saying is the blue train is one of my favorites so you'll probably asking what my most favorite it's the Union Pacific Big boy
How did you tune your big boy to work without stopping? Mine kind of stops in slow speeds. I got mine for a great price from my hobby shop. Could you show us how you took apart the shell and the repairing process. Not too many videos here with the old cab mounted motor.
I couldnt wait for the Hiawatha
Would you make a part 3 where you run just your biggest locomotives.
you should keep all those on the track
I've been trying to find that 6060 if you have tips on where to get it please tell me
What brand is the CN bullet nose and what’s a good price point for an HO big boy anyway
I liked 4449 Daylight (FYI the 2-6-0 Camelback was in a set)
Hey SMT. All of These loco’s of yours is awesome.
lol we have something in common we both had steam engines hit the floor hard
The Athearn genesis 2-8-2 might have cracked nylon gears.
''well folks'' this is a cool video
this is the first SMT Video that I watched on my New ASUS VivoBook
Nice flex!
sus
Nice
If you are on the market for dc sound I highly recommend broadway limited 2-8-0 or Bachmann 4-6-0
Nice modells
What do you use for the wall to prevent trains from falling off the layout
I like all the trains
i love the daylight
I love the big boy
Old video, but serious question, would it be worth it (or recomended in that case) to retro fit vintage HO scale Locos and rolling stock with new couplers to make them compatible with newer models? I would love to be able to merge my fleet together and have them be able to pull both types of trains. Or would it be in my best interest to keep them as is?
Make four or five "Transition" cars, with different couplers on each end. On my railroad I have eight different kinds of couplers in use, including even some screw types, Maerklin, X2f, Kadee knuckle, Mantua, and others. Some got new couplers, some didn't. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
I agree with you on the bullet nose Betty being a good engine I made by mehano I have 2 of them now
I have a feeling that you’ve probably been asked this before, but do you think you will do live streams of you working on projects, or repairing engines?
I talked to the guy who worked in the research and development department of mahano for that 2-10-2 he told me that it was never part of a set it was always individual I have one that was DCC sound ready yours has a different wire harness so I maybe DCC ready but he told me they specifically had RP 25 black and wheels it's essential the same boiler as what is on the 482 with an extra sand dome attached and some extra detailing but I had that it was originally a southern mine I painted it black decal it for the eerie have sounded it when it's running down the tracks everyone in my club asked me if it's brats cuz there's only three companies bachman proto 2000 and mahano that made the 2-10-2
Thought you were the Incredible Hulk when you lifted the big boy and tender with one hand.
Did you fix the shorting problem on the Varney 7 pole 2-8-0
Damn that 2-10-2 is high quality for a mehano
Would you consider getting a Shay?
I have never clicked on a video so fast
TrainFan 2020 lol same
@@jordantherailfanner7506 yea lol
that's my favorite vid
Did you know the big boy that you have the 4005 was actually an engine that wrecked the only big boy that was ever wrecked
Curiosity question would that NYC. 464Hudson black freat engines and tender be up for sale at all.....
My pride and joy is the Chattanooga choochoo by tyco from the 1970s
Great little line from Tyco, too bad they didn't last very well.

I need that CNW 2-8-0 Roundhouse kit
Big boy 4005 is the only one that has had a wreck
Sweet
Athearn sold a steam loco back in the sixties.Unfortunatly it was a poor runner and sales never were good.
2:03 cool locomotive
The 2-10-2 is part of the mahano's train set called the Big ten Express the Big ten Express contains of the locomotive six to seven iron car's and the caboose
They were great sets.
Ya, big trains.
Hey does river ossi trains work on the same tracks as bachman tracks
Athearn Genesis mikados are infamous for having damaged gears, both the axle and idler. I rrplaced mine with a NWSL replacement gear. It runs much better now!
Can you do a video running all your Diesels
You might have to repaint some of your steam locomotive
There is Lionel ho scale train sets of the polar express. Maybe you should get one.
Look at all those chickens
Do you have the Pere Marquette 1225?
Anyone else remember when all the comments were: “WhEn ArE yOu GoNnA fIx ThE bLuE gOoSe?”
🖐🏽
8:42 that’s Canadian national 6060 bullet nose
My pop-up has a train just like that was to Cavins
DAYLIGHT!
Do you have a union pacific challenger (4,6,6,4)
Good for you
What kind if engine was the one at 7:30 the one with the bad wire?! I want to find it I have it in O gauge
Ah yes steam train time
15:44 that locomotive is a New York central Niagara
Smt would you consider going to larkspur and getting a german steam engine. They also have a cn Berkshire by mehano at larkspur
Nothing can go wrong with a good old Fleischmann BR-01,
etc. theses ones are by piko but the fleischman ones are beautiful
@@jl-it4rs Piko is a good brand it has two tiers, the "hobby" line is more simple and uses plastic for the rods, and one high quality line "expert" with untouchable prices that start at 280€ into the 400€, at least in europe.
I have some models that other brands don't make like the BR 52 - DR (DDR) with the experimental condensator tender, i wish i could get some american locos here.
