Dang Conrail should've had this when NS came for their livelyhood 💀

I think I am gonna make a Penn Central canon. No one will tell them they have to go bankrupt now.
Theoretical justification: Avalanche control. Of course, that would not really work for Conrail, but western railroads, it would make some sense.
Can't have an avalanche if there is no mountain or hill
You know it’s a good day when another Conrail monstrosity is uploaded
Don't mess with the MOW crew!
The Wrath of Conrail made manifest. A hell of a job, there.
After the war, the US took one of those German guns, converted it to fire atomic shells. Nicknamed "Atomic Annie". Found it in history channel and I built the 1/35 scale model.
i own three of those railway guns alongside two K5's made by Riverossi, but i might repaint one to be an Atomic shell cannon. this video is helpful for some of those concepts of repainting
0:50 I have that set. The locomotive ran horribly, the motor armature wouldn't sit right, so I scrapped it and have any other locomotive pull the train, including my Conrail 0-4-0 before it gave out.
You should seriously bring this to a train show and show it to some of the modelers there.
It’s been to a show once, a lot of people found it amusing
@@cobramerciless good
Considering how destructive Penn Central was, that might have been a better livery, but hey they went to Conrail anyways! Would look perfect in downtown Detroit in the 80’s.
Now you need an ammunition car to go with it. Maybe a crew car as well, a caboose might not hold the whole team. Nice job.
For the ammo car, I suggest using a 50 foot gondola with several racks of visible shells at the ready.
For the crew car, maybe a model of a retired heavyweight sleeper car would do the trick.
"Foamer annoys railroad workers, what happens next is shocking"
Whats next? The conrail tank? Conrail SAM?? CONRAIL NUKE?!
The noise I made when you panned over to you Conrail Rocket (or whatever the hell it is) towards the end... Pray for me.
Just need that box car with the hidden anti air cannons inside in conrail blue now
Another excellent, and informative video amigo. I find I have to do at least two viewings to get all the additional text, and sight gags that you embed in your story, and to truely appreciate (?) your narrative. Your obsession with wheeled things (or non-wheeled things) in Conrail livery is deserving of...say some Conrail branded but stained and chipped ashtrays from five or so BUDD dome cars they ran in the 80's. I beleive they were used on the "NO TUNNELS PLEASE" routes after that one incident back in '84. You're f'ing welcome.
apply fuck it up scream and repeat :'D that's an accurate description of water slide decals
I love the silliness of this lmao, makes wish if I still had been I should had done something like this xD and trust me as someone who been using water sides for the last decade of model kits, your explanation of them is totally accurate especially on small waterside parts lol
The Big Cannon model is based on the US Army atomic cannon from the 1950s. It fired a shell with a nuclear warhead. There is test firing footage on UA-cam.
I remember seeing a meme of a conrail gun last year floating around the internet so its funny to see it actually be real.
I made that original photoshop years ago lol. Good to know it’s still circulating
3:32 most relatable thing i've heard all day 🤣
I think we just found our answers to the war in Ukraine. Just give em the Conrail gun
Nice, the Division 7 Train show! Nice to see someone whose local making model train content!
5:30 Conrail rocket
There is always the "Boche Buster" railgun made by Oxford Rail in the UK, it's a highly detailed behemoth and OO scale of course. Did I notice a Tri-ang Stephenson's Rocket in blue!!!! LMAO
The Conrail Railgun looks cool. Nice video 👍
That's insane - well done!
that thing looks great nice job👍
😱I can’t believe it when I first saw it in a different video
And you also made a conrail Ferrari and plane and Stevesons rocket
As an aside on the Blue Discussion. Nobody uses actual Conrail Blue on models bcs the specific tone doesn't show properly under most interior lighting options due to the finish. So most use a lighter shade which will match pictures better under standard model lighting conditions. And thats not getting to the fact that a lot of the late 70s and early 80s renditions were almost always shop mixes that are all a bit different from eachother. If you want to rivet count color it needs to be done on a unit by unit basis.
Conrail is funny, yes but I think a Penn Central Railway gun would be even funnier
Love the conrail!
Awesome video! I hit the subscribe button
This is hilarious
no way
i need this 😂
loved ur hot wheels railroad vid btw
US Army had railway guns up to 14".
Fuck it, PENN CENTRAL cannon battle
Conrail blue was whatever the cheapest paint Conrail could find
oh my god it’s amazing.
Not me waiting for “I replaced the shitty plastic wheels with metal ones” and it never arriving
I swear I’ll add them eventually. I’ve been saying that for 3 months now.
Rumor has it the club track gets 40% dirtier when he runs it around
@@BlaxlandRidge3 only 40?
Conrail decided that Texas Red has yeed his last haw...
I never added weight to mine, i just added metal wheels and i keep it the end of trains. haven't had any problems and been running it on a club layout for years
You’ve conned your last rail
Are we gonna talk about the contrail rocket!?
I think I have to build a norfolk southern one now lol
Conrail to use it to intimidate shortlines to join Big Blue or Cannon😂😂
I’m gonna make this for csx ( crash slam explode ) for my layout
That's hilarious! (Maybe Conrail shot it at Amtrak trains?)
I recommend if you could to modify the gun to be able to attach transformers blast effects on it to make it looks like it firing.
Nice!
1:22 I actually might of bought that it looks neat
This is fucking horrifying….. i need more.
4:30
I really, REALLY wanna know the origins of that Conrail Stephenson’s Rocket, is it by any chance a Triang Rocket?
It is an old triang one. I’ll get more into detail when I get it finished.
@@cobramerciless Really split on how to feel, on one hand I love goofy liveries like that, on the other hand I’m a Triang collector, the Rocket being one of the rarer models they made, no such thing as a cheap Triang Rocket, so I’m split between being pissed off and laughing lmao
@@cobramerciless now do Conrail shinkansen or conrail snowpiercer
5:34 - "Let Conrail be Conrail!"
Don't fuck with Conorail CSX, Conorail got a blinky
A Con-Rail-Gun... It just makes sense 🤷♂️
I dare you to paint a UP FEF-3 steam locomotive in conrail quality paint
Yeah no. That would run me more than I’m willing to pay for a silly project
@@cobramerciless yeah steam locomotives are so expensive these days it's crazy
.... Me on my way to get a rail gun for my self:
Lmfao saw this irl, and it's amazing
oh no not the con rail rocket
👁👄👁
💪🟥💪
🦶 🦶
timestamp 5:30
yes
What game you was playing when you made you conrail plane?
NS plane next.
The crew motorfest
I thought of a Boeing 747 with amtrak phase 4
"C O N R A IL"
It's certainly worse in terms of the decaling job.
Oh for sure. It’s a really tiny space with a wood texture. I’m hoping to redo it some day
Why is there a Conrail rocket… it shouldn’t exist!
That's my specialty. Building stuff that shouldn't exist!
ferb i know what were gonna do today
here before 100 views and 1 hour gang (also 20th like)
My old rocketttt :))))
That project is entirely your fault
@@cobramerciless don't be mad u convinced me to fully let it go
If you go to the CMRC. I have a project for the train show on March 3rd in need help with.
The what?
@@cobramercilesscrossroads model railroad club
Crossroads model railroad club
did i see a high nose c36? @5:43 :)
Let’s modify it to shoot 22
@MaybeTrainEnthusiast Why was my comment removed? Did you not like my compliment?
I did not remove your comment. Not sure what UA-cam is up to there. Can’t find it in the “Flagged” section on studio either
@@cobramerciless Okay. They sent me a warning. Your model was nice.
5:05 5:30 conrail rocket
lmao thats hilarious
joe said it's my turn to be pinned 💀
Conrail doesn't know what Conrail blue is.
Look at CSXT blue.
I hate to break the bad news to you (actually, I don't give a F... as you don't either), but such a rail car would need to be placed at the front as its weight would be x3 of a standard 50 foot Railroad 5077 cu ft boxcar. In model terms I did the math, the car should weigh in at 8 to 11.5 oz. Language other than H or D is allowed (for God's sake for the children man!) Over all, its a good video. You did a great job on painting. You got me inspired. Thanks.
Is that train show the Lakota West High School Train Show?
It is. I’ll be a vendor there again this year
;)
Is there a way to be a SoCal model vendor cuz I need stuff, yet no one does anything
