Soooo many great angles. I love the transition from a more realistic muted palette into those glorious pre-war colors, and the Great clickety-clack Sound you have on this. It's always a pleasure.
Thanks for your comments. I am lucky that the old classics are usually up to the challenge. I usually have trouble when I try to run some of the newer stuff.
As long as you have at least 16 curves, you can make a circle and 6 switches will make a nice yard if you have straights too. 50 pieces is more than I had when I made my first T-rail layout years ago. T-Rail is a lot of work, but the results are very rewarding.
@@JFLionelT-RailOperator I probably have about 15 or 20 straights, they are very hard to come by. The rest are curves, so I can make a nice layout. I'm waiting to get about 10 more straights. I wish Lionel would reproduce T-Rail (with the same quality). On my UA-cam channel, I have a Lionel 1-700E & 1938 700E double headed running on my clubs layout.

Hi Jim, Some very interesting choices! I especially like the Gray 763 with the blue 710's. But, I kind of think the Bilt E-Z backdrop stole the show...no easy task given all those Lionel Hudsons !
Thanks for watching. I do a lot of video in low light for my impression of realism, but can confuse identification. The cars running with the 763E's were blue and green 2613, 2614, 2615. I would like to have a tu-tone blue set of 710's but they are unfortunately not on the roster. One video, about a year ago, shows a set pulled by a 260E that came to visit the LSRR.
@@JFLionelT-RailOperator I do remember the 260E and 710's; very beautiful! But, now I cannot get a 763E & Vanderbuilt tender w/ blue tinplate cars out of my head. Nice lighting...
As always, nice entertaining runs … have been thinking of how to quiet prewar tinplate passenger cars … perhaps a layer of felt on the floor, roof and sides. Maybe nylon washers where pivot posts come through the bottoms and something to plug the holes on each end 😊. All of them are reversible, by the way.
Metal cars are going to produce some noise, some say that is part of the charm. I have a thin layer of cork covering the entire surface of my layout, which does mute the tinplate sound to some degree. Thanks for watching.
Tom, Just experimenting, as is often the case. The video clips that transitioned from black/white to color and muted to full color were intended to emphasize the colorful cars and accessories opposing the scale-series black and gray Hudsons. After 155 videos, I have to come up with something different!

For me, one thing stands out above all else. And that is how quiet the solid T rail track is. You are very blessed.
Going all T-rail limits control and signal options, but the look and sound make up for it. Thanks for watching.

I always enjoy when you take the old classics out for a romp on the mainline Jim! Thanks for posting!

Jim, I enjoyed seeing your beautiful trains. Your video was very well done, thanks for sharing.

Awesome layout with Lionel T-Rail track. and with me owning about 50 pieces of track and 6 switches, I thought I had allot... Keep up the great work!

My Local Shop Is Now Stocking Pre War Lionel. He Has Them In The Original Box. Yea Its Trains That Make Some Nice Noise Instead Of Sound.
Thanks, I thought the sounds of Hudsons on T-Rail was sound-track enough.

Great video! Were you testing out visual effects when you wanted to make this?
Just something different, thanks for watching.
Are u going to Spring York?
Thanks for asking, but probably not.
Great video. Like me!!!
Thanks for watching. I congratulate you on the high quality videos that you make.
Sorry Jim, I don't like shades of gray. I like true color throughout. WOW, for the Unit Tank Train! Great Fire Works!
