    “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
    But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
    Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
    don’t be happy when they stumble.
    For the Lord will be displeased with you
    and will turn his anger away from them.
    Don’t fret because of evildoers;
    don’t envy the wicked.”
    Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT

    Scaletrains just launched the N scale version of 2601 today! I'm an HO scaler and picked up one of their Conrail GP30s with plans to renumber it to 2233 to match the one at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

    Awesome. I loved the full scale/HO comparison shots. Bonus dad points for bringing your son's favorite locomotive home.
    If you look for desktop anti-static there are some very affordable brushes to gently remove lint from your trains and also ionizer fans for area control. That might help take your excellently composed shots to the next level of "is it real or a model?"

    I understand your affinity for the 2601. I had a strong affinity for the “Big Boy 4014” as my parents would take us to the “LA County Fair” every year to see not only the fair, but all the trains. The large outdoor garden railway, the huge HO layout (indoors) under the racetrack grandstands and of course, the 4014 out on the north side of the racetrack. I got to climb on it many, many times! Great memories!!
    And, like you, I have both the Kato and BLI versions, in N scale!

    Hi Jimmy , I’m also an N Scaler and I’m hoping that do it in n scale keep your fingers crossed. I have visited the NCTM years ago and enjoyed very much. There is a lot of history there. Thanks for sharing. 😎😎 👍

    Very cool! Its always neat to purchase a model of a locomotive that means alot to you and your family! I know for me, that special locomotive (which would be Frisco 1522) hasn't been produced yet (except in brass), although, Broadway Limited Imports has all but confirmed in recent comments that it is in the works!

  • @danbalmer1
    @danbalmer1 19 днів тому

    Very Cool! With a few exceptions like the Big Boy, NP765 in my area, and a few other vintage survivors, do you get to actually compare the real prototype with the model. Really did a nice job, and it looks like it runs as well as it looks.

    I couldn't believe the Southern loco Nº 6133 in your video. I have an identical model Nº 2925 on my layout. It is a Life Like model. Never heard of them. The stupid part is that I am not a fan of American locos, I live in Portugal and bought this loco through ebay in the UK. It made me feel pretty good to see the real thing right where you live.

    Jimmy, great video! I have a very similar locomotive in my collection. My first purchase, and in many ways the inspiration for the rebirth of my interest in the hobby. Mine is a Athearn Genesis EMD GP 38-2 road number 5025. Its not the EXACT same number, but the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, TN runs number 5000 on their system. It is also a retired Southern locomotive and is wearing the Southern "Tuxedo" scheme, both prototype and my model. :-) Its pretty amazing to go see "my" locomotive in action and it adds a visceral connection to my model RR that is hard to describe. Because in some intangible way ... its real.

  • @chrisdaniell2990

    You're going to spend the extra $$$ to upgrade to DCC so it can run around a loop? Why wouldn't you just have gotten with DCC/sound to begin with? It's almost always more expensive buying separate components to go from DCC-ready to DCC-equipped.

    • @DIYDigitalRailroad

      Im actually planning on building a proper HO scale layout. I am going to put a $45 digitrax sound decoder in it. Digitrax has a good GP30 sound project. With a speaker, It will save me about $40 over a DCC equipped one.
