    Mike Budde is a good asset for autoracks.

    So much fun! Its your railroad,a little departure is totally acceptable. I wish I lived closer to you so I could zip over and help with your cool projects.

    Looks Great. I'm doing some Tank (M48's) on flat cars. I'm a former Army Tank Creman (M60a3's) and love military loads. One thing is see people doing wrong with them is not taking in account the weight of the tanks. Saw one guy selling them on ebay with 2 M1 tanks on a 70 ton flat car. When I was in Germany, we would rail our tanks to the main gunnery range, one tank per flat car.

    Rob, do not worry about running what you have shown.Rrember, it's your railroad, and you can run what you want, even as it doesn't make sense to others.

    I just did an entire Tank Company train M4 Shermans it was actually cheaper to buy the 3 printer and print all the vehicles myself and ended up printing the flat cars as well.

    I have several of those Athearn “open” auto racks and purchased commercially made autos for them. I tell ya every MANY pennies it cost is well worth it!! Open auto racks with cars in them are soooooo dynamic to look at!! Easily one of the most, if not the most dynamic freight/commodities trains haul both prototypically and in model railroad. Oxford and Busch are two of the affordable HO scale cars with good detail to get! I chock it up as just yet another scenery or multiple boxcars purchases as a “wow” factor in my layout/train consist, and frankly makes me so happy to look at!! Thanks for the the video, Rob!!

    Nice model Rob!! Now you'll have to watch out for rock throwers!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have you
    thought about a unit Train of NYC pacemaker boxcars, that
    would definitely fit your era on the layout!!! Hope you and your
    Family are having a great New Year!!

    Rob, the Roco Fords are a great choice. They don't add weight to the cars like resin cars would.

    I've had some success using isopropyl alcohol to remove pad printing from molded-in base color models

    Nice NYC Auto Rack , Would be sweet if you had a fleet of 1959 Chevy Impalas on that NYC Auto Rack .

    I love open loads, but your right about the expense.

    • @daviemaclean61
      @daviemaclean61 11 місяців тому

      The lettering is tamp printed on, so it's not a decal. T-Cut is good for getting the lettering off and does the same as your hand cleaner, leaving the paint slightly dull, because it's an abrasive. You must be concentrating cos the tongue's out! ;-)

    Oxford has Corvairs and they also have 1966 Pontiac GTO's that would go together on an autorack being they're GM cars. $11.99 each at Die Cast Direct. GTO's are cool, you need them. ;)

  • @h2p6
    @h2p6 11 місяців тому

    Those are Corvairs at 5:18, I think! I used to own a ‘62. So that makes them “compact” for the era. Rare wagons in the photo.

  • @georgethomas7814
    @georgethomas7814 11 місяців тому

    One of the Van's should be two-tone White/Skyblue and there should be one that is PINK. These are colours and paint patterns from the 60's. Three is a good number of open cars. They should be near the end of the train with at least one boxcar between them and the breakvan. Looks like a great layout with some long points for easy running.

    Nice autorack load Rob! What are your thoughts on the Roco Models, are they difficult to work with? I have a few in mind for my layout, just seeing what everyone thinks of them before I purchase them. Cheers Brian

    Really cool project. I'm thinking the beacons on the ambulances should be red for the era you're modelling, blue was more of a European thing in those days.

  • @TheSonofruss
    @TheSonofruss 11 місяців тому

    I bought 5 20’s 30’s and 40’s era cars used and paid $95 for them 5 cars. Most people paint with semi-gloss paint as gloss paint doesn’t look correct at that scale

  • @cp368productions2
    @cp368productions2 11 місяців тому

    Those Ambulances would more likely be heading for Germany or something. That's the style they used in Europe. Likely surplus US Army. US agencies used Dodge and Ford vans.

    Does anyone out there know who is selling long flat cars for O scale?

    • @georgethomas7814
      @georgethomas7814 11 місяців тому +1

      Lionel is the best source and Trainsworld has a long list of 'vintage" models. To get a double or triple stack you have to be prepared to redesign a flatbed car transporter. FunFact: that's what the railroads did for several years before this model came out.

    Seems like the green rails on the train car need a wash of grime weathering to fit into the lived in world. The vans are new - the rolling stock is not.

    • @robbennett1965
      @robbennett1965 11 місяців тому

      Yeah, the rolling stock IS fairly new- these were built ~early 1960s, and I am saying they are seen in the mid-1960s (or so...) so they are not that old.
