@jimbarrett1975 you'll need to get a Dylington Custard Company Billboard sign on your layout, Jim. We've just added one to ours. Scale Model Scenery does a billboard that comes with several advertisements, one of which is Dylington Custard, based of course on our layout. Watch out for it on a future video. There's also a ghost sign which we have on our water tower....cheers James 🙂👍
Cheers for watching. Shoving platform is a great excuse to run a caboose, and just adds a little extra element to the switching. If I was moving more cars it would get in the way and add to the thinking.
Hi I'm Walter. I use to live near the Morristown & Erie short line in NEW JERSEY. I know RS-1 M&E # 15.. The big ALCOs Centurys they had two C430s #s 16 . 17 . And there C 424s 18. 19 . . .. that's was my home town. Sadly C430s left M&E rails year 2001. Then in 2019 C424s left to 😢 .
Hi Walter, thank you for watching, and for your reply. Great to hear from someone who saw so much of the M&E fleet. I'm slowly building up my collection. I haven't visited the line yet but hope to be able to get out there at some point, and wish I'd been able to before the Alcos left. I'm planning on modeling the Cedar Knolls transload once I have the space.
Interesting video. I know very little about the M&E, but any road operating ALCO power has to be interesting. Not having read your channel description before now, I was surprised to find that you are located in the U.K. I had assumed that you were located somewhere close to Port Huron, given your choice of locations to model. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten so lengthy about the nuances of Port Huron's ex GTW paper spur, lately operated by Lake State Railway. I enjoyed the video, having spent some time watching the Lake State switchers working there. I am, however, curious about how you arrived at modeling Domtar.
I'm glad you did share, always on the lookout for more information and interesting extras. As to why, I'll do a video on that as I want to cover Domtar as a prototype, but basically I saw it and thought it had a ton of potential even as a small layout. To be honest, it wasn't on my radar originally.
@@jimbarrett1975 Another good choice. The GP9's were a common sight on the paper spur not that many years ago. Scrolling era modeling provides a lot in a small space.
@thomasdecker7631 I guess I've left it too late to have much chance of seeing anything moving on the Port Huron line now. I've dug out a bit of footage on UA-cam, and have been thinking about the Bascule bridge.....
@@jimbarrett1975 Yes, the rolling lift bridge over the Black River wouls make an interesting Model. It has a ton of character but is small enough not to overpower a smaller layout
@@andyknott8148 I'm missing 16 and 19. Currently I'm working on 20, 22 and 25, and I have a donor unit for 23 if I can't find the Athearn release. I had heard that 4223 had gone - I might use it in my next video.
@andyknott8148 I'm in the UK, in Northamptonshire. Makes research a bit of a challenge, but I'm hoping to make a trip over to see it in person in the not too distant future.
Great video! It’s always fun to see cabooses in operations 👍
Thank you! It doesn't do much, but it looks nice.
I like the Caboose, If those tankers were in Dylington, they would be carrying Dylington Custard. Nice video...Cheers James 🙂👍
Thanks for watching. For all we know, they might be....

Nice. I’m using a caboose ‘shoving platform’ on my small layout at the moment too

I'm hoping to invest in a GTW GP9 at some point.

If ever you get tired of #18, I know a willing buyer.
Haha, I'm on the hunt for 19 to go with it. I've got most of the M&E main fleet, just missing a few.
@@jimbarrett1975 I have 4223 and 2 x C430's but I did not get 18 or 19. Sadly I saw a report 4223 has just been scrapped.

Did you ever see the Model Railroader video on the M&E?
I don't think I did. I've got the Trains one, Taking Care of Business.
@@jimbarrett1975 Apologies, indeed it is done by trains. Where abouts are you located Jim ?

@@jimbarrett1975 Jim, I know the feeling, I am in Hertfordshire. Good luck and take plenty of pictures of everything.
