That was a a very good looking show very amazing. I wished i had an answer to that mysterious CP RAIL switcher diesel. Looked very interesting. The CHESSIE steam engine that was running was no doubt ran as an excursion special in the 1970's in real life. TYCO also had a version of it in their days. I'm sorry you didn't get it. That would've been fun to see it run on your layout. I liked the Auto carrier in HO that was on the table displayed. Great show SMT Great video. 🎥👍✅
Oh my lord I could never find treasure like this. I could spend hours looking at venders and looking at what I could make my treasure. I’ve only been to one used model train shelf in this small train store I went to but this, is EVERYTHING I’ve dreamed of going to
I have 30-35 brand new box cars, a few engine's and a big box full of other pieces for a Train set. I work for Real-Estate company's and clean out house after people sadly lose everything they own, That's how I received it. I'm interested in seeing more of how all this works. Thanks for sharing. New Friend here.
Greetings from Chatham ( Although I don't live there anymore, I live in Alberta nowadays ) Your channel has aspired me to build my diorama I've always wanted to build. I have no room for a proper layout but I've always wanted one since I was a kid and I have a few engines, so a Diorama will do.
Stories like this are serious motivation to keep creating content - I'm happy to hear your finally building something you've always wanted to. Thanks for reaching out ~Harrison
I wish I was like you where you can go to all these things and have a lot of nice trains. I’m addicted to trains there my second thing in the world (first is my family) I just think thee super cool.i only have 1 steam engine and I wish I could get more I found this big boy for $89.70 that me and my dad want to get. I wanna say I love your channel and it’s amazing
My wife told me if I go to one more train show, she’ll leave me. Boy, I’m going to miss her 🤣. But seriously, I love going to shows. You’ll never know what you’ll find. I’m lucky to get to probably 10 shows a year.
SMT - On the Gatineau Express layout - the black track section on one of the spur tracks is a Lionel uncoupling/operating section. The gray bin next to that track section is for receiving logs or coal from an operating dumping car.
Should’ve grabbed the chugger even if the axles are bad, knowing you love tyco and stuff it would’ve been right up your alley. At 20 CAD that’s a steal.
2:28 I like the one with Deflectors 2:40 I have a Hallmark Christmas Tree ornament that looks a lot like that model, which is approximately N scale and I use as an all-year display in my room with my other Hallmark Lionel ornaments and N scale stuff (I don't have any motorized locos or track yet) 6:22 I've seen some of those in catalogs. They're called "Beeps" and are basically 4-wheeled GP7s, and were originally made by Kusan
That unpainted Athern loco was either an ALCO or a Fairbanks-Morse They don't have model train shows where I am right now anymore. The city decided it was more important to push casinos and video poker machines than to allow much in the way of conventions here.
Have you ever been to the Amherst train show in Springfield Massachusetts, if you ever have the time you should go its really cool. The next show is in January.
6:21 That engine is what's called a "beep" When an engine like a GP7/GP9, F-unit, or even a shay is shrunk down from an 0-4-4-0 (B-B) configuration to an 0-4-0 configuration from the images I've seen, these little guys are mass produced, but i don't know from who
Come on! I missed it again!? You have to keep me informed bro! I thought we were a team. 80/20, remember? :) Texas Chugger was my nickname in high school. Great footage of the show.
Sorry, I thought you knew about it. One of the vendors asked me to come over to their stand because they said they saw me in a video about the arnprior train show where I "Did an interview about locomotives and then sold the interviewer a locomotive for 800 dollars" Thought that was pretty funny. Anyway, I will try and let you know next time this show comes along.
SMT Mainline That’s awesome! Haha. You’re a celebrity. Aylmer is not on my radar because it’s not in Ontario. Next time. We’ll have to collaborate and maybe involve that vendor.
If you haven’t checked out Drive Tribe, give it a look. James May of Top Gear and later, The Grand Tour has restored/ repaired British HO/OO locomotives. James May’s Toy Stories have some model train programs.
I'm calling that custom built CP Rail "Stubby". It looks like a seriously shortened GP9 on a heavily modified frame. I might have a motor without flywheels and a small DCC decoder.
I Googled this locomotive and was surprised that it was originally made by a company called Kusan and then was reintroduced under the Bachmann/Williams name. Pretty neat story behind that little locomotive!
I love your trains they’re so good sometime maybe you come down to India and you could see us and I would like to see some here trying to make sure you bring some from Landon Stephen Bellamey
So SMT, Are French Canadians Sarcastically Nice or are they Rude and then very apologetic? Show looked really cool, I have really bad luck and always seem to be doing something the weekend of the local train shows. That or they over lap with the Local Gun Show and I cant go to to both! Great video SMT, hope you found some nice stuff!
I'd say that most people here are sincerely nice however speaking french is a major part of the culture so if you don't some aren't too happy with you.
@@Timothyrucker12 ya my first train show felt like nothing ever befor the smell, the feel, the sound of modle trains moving all of it. It never gets old.
Train shows are great places to find the gems that Walthers and the other mass vendors don’t have. Particularly if you model an era like I do (1960 and prior). BTW... I live in Florida outside of Orlando, but my favorite show so far has been the Cheyenne, WY show which is in May. Go8ng again this year. BTW, you are in Canada. I cannot find any contact info for you. I would like to email some photos of my layout to date. I only scratch build structures. My layout is small by a lot of standards, but I want quality and not quantity. Would love to get your feedback.
@@SMTMainline HOPE ALL is well i really enjoy your videos and the fact that you do pretend to know everything i have a question maybe you can help[ this is the only way i know how to reach you so here we go. i now have 4 old rivarossi Big Boys i did a motor swap on all of them 3 have a motor with more torque and speed and one with about the same speed as factory motor but more torque .I get a lot of wheel spin when pulling more than10 cars on all of them even tried adding weight i got new tires that are clear like the factory ones they seam to be thicker and looks like because of that the rest of the drivers may not be sitting down with enough pressure. my athearns big boy has two black rubber tires that has not problems that can pull 20 cars up a 3 percent grade i know that a bit steep but it does it .do you thing black rubber tires is the next step walthers makes some for a 2 8 4 which should be the same wheel size or i could get some lionel one that are 5/8 dia that could stretch on. Any thoughts .Thank you see you on you next live stream .
@@SMTMainline that was a thought as well can you use that on a driver that doesn't have the out side flange iam not worried up interference with picking up power I have pick ups added for the to the two driver that originally did not have it so there are 3 on the front driver and 3 on the rear driver I could give up on if you know what I am saying thank you for responding.
@@SMTMainline how many cars can you pull with out issues with your big boy I can do around ten you curves are no smaller that 22 and even on the 33s and the 35s I have problems if train is ten cars or greater and on grades it horrible adding weight did help a bit .
@@SMTMainline that’s nice I did it last year for the first time and I really liked it with the coins I saved up and now 2023 I am saving up more coins for the train show from my area and the flea market in my area which the coins I save up is my spending money
Nice video! Can you give me your opinion on PIKO 59013 Digital Starter Kit (its the one with 2 trains), am little suspicious towards it since same manufacturer sells digital sets with one train for like 50$ less. What's the catch ?

The one thing I always look forward in your videos are the locomotives. They are the highlight for me. You're a pretty fortunate guy to go to these.

I wish there were as many train shows where I live as where you are, great vids keep up the good work
Man, it’s been a while since I’ve been to a train show. My club is having one next month, so I’m excited about that.
hey do you know where I can get spare parts for my locomotive
Very cool train show. I hope you found some cool stuff.
Thanks for the video, a nice but not overly long summary of the best bits. I see you have a similar fascination for older H0 trains as I do.
Nice video love these kinds of vids because it reminds me of the times i go to train shows

Great show, great watch. Thanks for sharing
Lots of neat stuff there.
So cool Harrison I can’t wait to see what you bought for a video and have an awesome day as well Harrison
If my friend and I haf the time and money we would go no questions asked this show looks real good a variety of layouts and venders.sweet!
My wife and I Miss Train Shows.
It looks like a great show. A lot of interesting trains.

Looks like it was a good show this year
And that little train was somthing different never seen one like that beforw
Great video SMT and that little o gauge engin I beleve the guy put on the decals.
I hope you got some stuff to expand your o scale layout love your videos and hope you keep making them!

I miss going to train shows,i miss collecting model trains. I want to get back into it badly and build a small layout.
Cool show, there is only one this year anywhere near us in April. Used to be three at one time.
Dang, this seems interesting! I might come in this January.
My wife told me if I go to one more train show, she’ll leave me. Boy, I’m going to miss her 🤣. But seriously, I love going to shows. You’ll never know what you’ll find. I’m lucky to get to probably 10 shows a year.

Great video.

Never give up your videos never give up buying your HO trains never give up your hobby ever
I would LOVE to go to wanna these shows. None around where I live. I dont think id come out broke as hell lol. Love that chessie!
Nice Stuff you got I wish I could go to a train show
Awsome!!! I wish I was in Canada 🇨🇦!
That atlas loco,acl under all bluebox athearn looking very nice
2:28 I like the one with Deflectors

It's a D 08 shunter sold as a dock shunter in North America.
I’m really hoping you bought the roundhouse/mdc rtr old time loco. I love those things, and they are just such good runners and pullers
I bought something along those lines but I'm not sure if it's the same one you're referring to.
Only have 1 train show a year in my area but it's still fun when it rolls around
great video liked 🚂🚄
You should go to the Avondale train show in auburn hills,Michigan.its on the 19th of January.
Yeah ur vids r great keep it up cool train show
That unpainted Athern loco was either an ALCO or a Fairbanks-Morse
They don't have model train shows where I am right now anymore. The city decided it was more important to push casinos and video poker machines than to allow much in the way of conventions here.
Awesome Video 🚂🚃🚃🚃 ChooChoo 😀😀😀
6:20 oMg GuYs SmT SwOrE!!
I wish there were train shows down here.
Wish they could have these in COVID times, I missed the one by me
Have you ever been to the Amherst train show in Springfield Massachusetts, if you ever have the time you should go its really cool. The next show is in January.

That engine is what's called a "beep"
When an engine like a GP7/GP9, F-unit, or even a shay is shrunk down from an 0-4-4-0 (B-B) configuration to an 0-4-0 configuration
from the images I've seen, these little guys are mass produced, but i don't know from who
SMT - The Southern Pacific Daylight scheme locomotive at 4:12 is an Alco PB-1. It is a " B " unit for the Alco PA-1 passenger diesel.
Que hermosura todo eso. Acá donde vivo, Eje cafetero en Colombia, no hay nada de esto...sniff...
I just came back from the Kitchener model train show and if your looking for tons of n scale items for really cheap, they will definitely have it.
That's good to know
Note: 2100 is the experimental engine and 2100 2101 2102 and 2124 are from the reading railroad
SMT Chuff Chuff Felt lonely after you left so he made a visit to see you...............that's a good do- I mean locomotive
Come on! I missed it again!? You have to keep me informed bro! I thought we were a team. 80/20, remember? :) Texas Chugger was my nickname in high school. Great footage of the show.

Cool. Like that chessie and them blue boxes
Its an RMT switcher, they have made a bunch of models
Going to a train swap this weekend, wish me luck!
If you haven’t checked out Drive Tribe, give it a look. James May of Top Gear and later, The Grand Tour has restored/ repaired British HO/OO locomotives. James May’s Toy Stories have some model train programs.
That CP switcher might be a toy train, because I saw different paint schemes of the locomotive shell (and I mean the shell), without a chassis.
I'm calling that custom built CP Rail "Stubby". It looks like a seriously shortened GP9 on a heavily modified frame. I might have a motor without flywheels and a small DCC decoder.
That is some good stuff👌
The small Canadian Pacific locomotive is a play on the gp-7 locomotive, I actually own one of those but in a different road name
It is a O scale Beep, But brand I don't know, could be Lionel, RMT or RMT/Aristo-Craft after they bought them out.
I Googled this locomotive and was surprised that it was originally made by a company called Kusan and then was reintroduced under the Bachmann/Williams name. Pretty neat story behind that little locomotive!
If I went to that train show I would get a lot of used locomotives from athearn, etc.
Those are some of the best locomotives to buy at a train show.
I love your trains they’re so good sometime maybe you come down to India and you could see us and I would like to see some here trying to make sure you bring some from Landon Stephen Bellamey
I would have snagged that HO scale Athearn blue box SOO lines diesel. 👍
SMT Mainline hey harrison nice haul!
The Gatineau looks like a Rock Island "Rocket"
GREAT........FROM ITALY🤩
That locomotive is called a switcher from canadian pacific

Where do you find such a gold mine of different train cars and engines?
Wow that is insane I have a LEGO model railway but that one is way more expensive
That little diesel is made by ready made toys/RMT, they are sort cheap, I have a Union Pacific one that never ran very well from factory
I am first and I am building a shelf layout yay I am back in the hobby.
Welcome back!
@@SMTMainline my dad took me to my first train show years ago
@@Timothyrucker12 ya my first train show felt like nothing ever befor the smell, the feel, the sound of modle trains moving all of it. It never gets old.
That o scale mini gp 9 is actually a beep I’m pretty sure Lionel or Kline made them in the early 2000’s
I'm also building a shelf layout but it just ends at the edge of layout
