Great Doodle bug review! That horn that the engine comes with is one of the best sounding horns since the Lionel GP-9s from 1999! I’m sold on this engine now
I have a fear of doodlebugs but they.are.so.CUUTEE
It's worth noting that main reason for gasoline Doodlebugs being converted to diesel was due to a horrific head-on collision in 1940, where a PRR gasoline car collided with a freight train and burst into flames, killing all 46 passengers onboard.
interesting
Didn't like 3 crew members survived
Carbon monoxide is one hell of a drug
This is one of those incidents that, alongside the sinking of the _Edmund Fitzgerald,_ is one of those tragedies you don't grow up in Northeast Ohio without hearing about. There's a little plaque commemorating the disaster at the corner of Front St. and Bailey Rd. in Cuyahoga Falls, just a few yards away from where the accident happened. The line itself is something of a local landmark in spite of having been abandoned for decades by this point, and every now and then someone will want to reactivate it only to be shut down by NIMBYs either up in Hudson or in the retiree community on Springdale Rd.
Interesting, I had assumed it was purely to keep them up to date. Gasoline-fired motive power had an extremely short lifespan in American railroading just because it struggled to out-pull contemporary steam engines and the diesel locomotive took off very soon after gasoline was introduced.
Man. I have been watching you since I was 10 years old, I’m 21 now. Thank you for keeping my love of model trains alive, although I don’t model o scale I do love to look at it and all throughout childhood I just watched and watched your reviews. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, happy new year!
Wow, thanks!
I've gotta say Lionel has really improved their crew dialog. I'm impressed!
BFIMO, is the sound. This has a great sound of a gasoline driven engine. Different from anything else. ❤👍🏻
I’m abit disappointed Lionel didn’t make its real life counterpart C&O Doodlebug.
Sound is great, I don't like crew talk and the lighting is a bit bright. But a nice model.
Doodlebug with the two heavyweight passenger cars is a great look!
The Duddlebugs were an interesting SPV, kind of the first of its type. That's really cute.. RDCs came out of this idea back then and I love RDCs. Can't wait to see another episode of you installing your figures when you get them.. Enjoy!
Thanks!
I recently picked up an mth Santa Fe doodlebug in conventional mode. It lacks the “bells and whistles “ of the Lionel but it has a dual engine and quite a bit of pulling power. I and currently using it as the engine for a set of 5 mth premier heavyweight passenger cars. May not be prototype but looks really good on the track
Even though I don’t have much money, I want it and I love it!!
I love the shots of different areas & rooms of your layout. Please continue that in your videos. It’s so nice to see different angles besides just seeing the main room. I’m sure it’s more work for you, but it’s really appreciated!
I got mine in Union Pacific trim. I love it.
Similar to the speeders and rail bonders, these are great little units to just have something running down a track without spending a lot of time putting together a full train for them. It's almost like a really big trolley.
Yes, exactly
Pennsylvania Railroad doodlebug 4662 is still in service on the Wilmington and Western railroad.
Another great video! Thanks!!
For some reason I'm in ❤️ with this. Of everything you've shown, this one GETS ME.
The electronic couplers were a pleasant surprise. My first locomotive with them
That horn sounds so good I just might be interested. Wow
Appreciate the video Eric. This is a part of Railroading that I'm not too familiar with so it was interesting
OLD Leather Smith here, Great. Since I watched you build this layout from the beginning I am really enjoying watching all you have built. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
There are three Santa Fe doodlebugs left. You mentioned M-177, but there are two others. There’s M-160 which is in Frisco, TX at the Museum of the American Railroad, and the other is M-190 at Belen, NM.
Indeed!
The M-160 is operational!
Such a neat little train
Great comments. Lionel seems determined to price itself out of the market. Around $80. for a simple boxcar? I designed an animated feature a few years ago. My team and I did the original sketches for the characters and the settings, then sent them to China to be animated. The animators in China were being paid $1.00/a day with a $1.00 bump for Lunch. Even I can do the math.
I like it , very cool with different motor sound effects and a different visual overall!
Glad you like it!
Hey Eric. Great review. Love my Pennsy Doodlebug!
Awesome!
Very nice unit.
This model resembles the M-160 at the Museum of the American Railroad. It's also in warbonnet paint scheme and the same number, M-160. The prototype version most likely inspired the Lionel model version.
Very nice 👍
Very interesting model extraordinary camera work extraordinary areial view of your layout 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Thanks!
Love the skycam overhead shots!
me too
@@Ericstrainswhen I was a child somebody gave me a doodle bug and I put my whole mouth on it it still works
I love it a lot!
Good remarks.
Awesome doodlebug. You better give those passengers some sunglasses when you add them. Those interior lights are way way way too bright.
Haha
I love it!
Reminds me of the Lionel Budd Cars that I have on order…..looks and sounds good!
Happy new year everyone.
Great information 👍 ps very cool 😎 layout
Glad you liked it
Pretty cool Locomotive, I see you had that locomotive going pretty fast near the end, pretty cool 😎😎 I was like, he rolling now 😊😊
That is super cool
Looks good
There is one in Delson Quebec at the Exporail museum.It's a CNR unit.
Probably the worst railway accident in US history involved a PRR doodlebug. It was heading north on a single track stretch of track when the engineer was overcome with noxious gasoline vapors and missed a red signal at about 50mph. A PRR loaded coal train with two monster class I1s 2-10-0 behemoths crashed head on. Those people never stood a chance. The doodlebug instantly blew up in flames. The engineer managed to bail before impact having been seriously injured. They found several people literally fused to their seats having been instantly incinerated. The coal train however not surprisingly didn't even have a scratch on it.
yep
I like it, good looking engine at a reasonable price.
My Grandmother and Aunt rode doodlebugs on the now long gone B&O line that went through the Moonville tunnel between McArthur & Zalaski in the Southeastern part of Ohio.
Cool!
Really great unit. These seem similar to a method of travel on the California Western and Rio Grande railbus units from the days that Galloping Goose units rode on the tracks. Although, the horn sounds almost like the one from a diesel on a miniature railroad that I rode behind, years ago
Very cool!
I adore the name Doodlebug. and I also adore Trains. so when I hear that there's a Railcar called the Doodlebug...........I'm sold.
First of all get well soon, I would definitely love to find one in the Union Pacific paint scheme 👍👍
Cool, thanks
No cab on the rear is what kills it for me. Normally they at least had a porthole on the back where a conductor would sit to act as a look out when running in reverse
So kool 🚂😎👍
We love our MaPa Doodlebug. Best feature is the fan driven smoke unit
It’s so jolly 😂
Hi Eric I love your model railway layout. I live in New Zealand and I have 7 model railway layouts at my house I have 6 HO Scale railway layouts and one N Scale railway layout all so I am a member to a model railway club in New Zealand.
I think the BR&W has a Doole Bug still in up in the RINGOS NJ. Yard. I'm not certain if the BR&W has in service. I bet it's been 30 years since I have seen it operating on Lambertville line to Flemington NJ.
I like the way the fake motor sounds. Reminds me of a farmall tractor.
So many trains 🚂
One of those used to run near me
It’s a little cube boy 😊
Australia had doodlebugs they were called Diesel Electric Rail Motors (DERM) they were based of a standard design just modified for Australia all exept one were preserved
Right on
I like it. It's different, it's cool, looks like the price seems to be fair enough. And when you started up it definitely sounds like it has a gasoline engine in it that's what I like about it. So what kind of turns can I go on
i love the seinfeld clips haha
This would look nice pulling an extra Santa Fe super chief car ( or 2).
I have a novel idea. Lionel should go ahead and produce all the 2024 models now and send you one of each to review before the catalog comes out.
Never going to happen. They will keep quiet so as no to let Atlas, MTH or anyone else get a competitive advantage
Wish MTH would run these with transit station stops.
That bell lol
The galloping gesse is sort of a dollebug but built really cheep
If my memory serves me right there’s a Santa Fe Doodlebug in Frisco Texas
cool
WOW need to find it on my next visit to the Lone Star State!
It's also the road number of the one featured here!
Hey Eric can the internals be purchased
OK, jow did the bug passengers get on? With the ladder at the back door?
The materialize via a transporter
Not only that, look at the height difference between the diaphragm on the doodlebug and the one on the heavyweight coupled behind it!
Would these doodlebugs run, using a conventional transformer?
And would you be able to use the horn/bell/crewtalk features, using a conventional transformer? 🚂
Yes
399$ good price
Howdy podna
Not exactly the bigboy but the price is small boy pricing lol😂
Been thinking about getting into the hobby as you can see I’m African American and I don’t see many of us in the hobby
Oh there's plenty in the hobby. I know lots. Welcome aboard!
Check out monster railroad on UA-cam
I was at a video of MTH proto 2 Doodlebug and I would rather have a used one for half the price and have an interior. Sorry Eric.
You don’t really need coaches for a doodlebug
Yes, but if you are a yardmaster a great way to get a car or two out of the yard.
I think it's over priced and i think they may have the bell on the wrong side.
Of course
I hate to nitpick, but your logo needs an apostrophe. It bothers me.
It didn’t look right with the apostrophe, which is why we left it off. “Artistic Choice”
