- Today's subject is something that I kindof came across on accident after losing an eBay auction. It's a Broadway Limited Alco PA in MKT colors. This unit has DCC and Sound and I picked it up from Trainz for under $100 before taxes and shipping. Let's see if it runs. Also it is probably worthwhile to watch till the end. Just sayin.

Pennsylvania Railroad all day and i love the tear down videos.
My favorite steam locomotive is the PRR T1 4-4-4-4.
Found your videos just recently. After getting back to the hobby earlier this year. I like all the informative videos
thanks Jarell. What do you model? any specific railroads or eras?
@Trains-With-Shane I have an n scale set and my son and I have ho scale set. We don't model anything specific except I grew up on a farm and would like to model grain elevators and purchased some athearn covered hopper for the HO stuff
Congratulations on the 2075 subs. Very interesting show my friend. 👍😊🫡
thank you, Dave! You helped with a bunch of those subs as well!
Hey Shane, been into trains since the early 70’s when I got a ho Santa Fe set for Christmas and have been collecting on and off since just about a year ago I got heavy into N scale and that’s when I discovered your channel and have been watching ever since. I’m currently modeling NS and CSX at my Model RR club while building my home layout…kids are grown now so I finally have the room lol. Keep up the interesting and inspiring work.
thanks William!
Thanks,Shane,for interesting video.I restore old and broken locomotives too,and your content is very useful for me.Go on!
Much appreciated. That's why I do this!
Love your will it run videos. Very interesting. My favorite scale is n. My favorite short line is Central California Traction company. Hard to find locos and cars in this road name as its a limited milage road. Stockton California to Sacramento California. The road is over 100 years old and now still operates between Stockton and Lodi California. Sorry about your break-up. It will get better in time and may even be a blessing. Keep your videos coming they are informative and your style is relaxing.
thanks Jim!
The o rings are traction tires
Didn't even cross my mind! And I even mention traction tires! lol. Proof that sometimes the obvious can get overlooked!
Duh
Love this video shane! Keep em coming! Love the will it run videos and my love for trains started at 3 years old. I model N scale HO O and G scales. Always an EMD fan and I love to photograph the big trains!!!
thanks Pat! I've got a few more sitting here to do Will it Runs on. not quite as spendy or fancy as this unit but still good stuff, I hope.
@@Trains-With-Shane oh yeah buddy. You are most welcome! I love your content!
Very gracious of you
thanks James. I try
Hey Shane I've been a subscriber for a little over a year really look forward to your videos usually watching before work puts me in a pretty good mood my favorite line would be Southern Pacific I also like Cotton Belt getting ready to build a switching layout it just seems like a lot of fun and glad you're feeling better and I am a 33% of all the way I want your videos all the way through and enjoy him so much thanks Shane and you have a good one brother and I'll talk to you on the flip side
SP's "bloody nose" scheme is one of my favorites.
I'm with you in that with that one I grew up in the Bay Area next to the Ford plant used to be in San Jose California and I can remember playing around those trains when I was younger and hearing them late at night and early in the morning Always Love Trains mainly the cotton belts that's what ran at the Ford plant @@Trains-With-Shane
Im in my mid 40’s, had a Ho tyco and n scale atlas sets growing up. I have 2 boys. The youngest has high functioning autism. He has been all about trains for about 2 years(thanks to the polar express and Thomas) He has a dcc Bachman Ho set his grandma got him for Christmas. Because of him I’m getting back into trains. I’m a fan of Chessie System colors. And the F7 locomotives. He is all about steam.
We are going to the day out with Thomas in Grapevine TX the weekend of October 13th. It’s something like a 6 hour drive from NW AR.
Congratulations on the channel growth. Yours if the first channel I’ve stumbled across that is n scale. I follow some that do Ho and O then some that cover HO and a few n.
Is that the event they have in Grapevine Tx every year? I used to work over in that area back around ~2006. I've not been to the Thomas event by one of my coworkers has taken his kids a few times.
@@Trains-With-Shaneyep, grapevine. we took my oldest to one over in Oklahoma when he was 5. Sadly he is to cool for trains now. He is spending the weekend at a buddies this time.
I have a small town circle n scale layout at foot of my bed… I live in a small apartment… The railroad that I model is the Chesapeake and Ohio and it is my favorite… Most of my locomotives are mostly C&O/Chessie System and C&O blue units..I do own a few locomotives from other railroads.. I do also own a few CSX locomotives…. I do own one Norfolk Southern F-7 from Bachmann..I also run Amtrak on my layout..I do enjoy watching your videos Shane… It is neat when you show us your latest locomotives in your collection… I still running DC on my layout and I have not converted to DDC yet… Thank You showing your latest MKT PA-1 locomotive… I love the red paint..
Keep up with Videos….I love watching them…
Oh… don’t hurry love and take your time getting into another relationship with another lady… Always start out being friends first… Sometimes…Let the girl choose you…
Hang in there Shane..

Thank Bryan! If you look around and find the recent-ish video where I show a Chessie GP38 I go into a little bit of detail on how Chessie was my first railroad that I modeled!
@@Trains-With-Shane … I saw that video on that GP-38…. I enjoy that video also.. The only GP-38 on my layout is a Life Like CSX #6638… I couple with my old 1974 Chessie GP-30 #3042… It is about the design of your Santa Fe GP-9…The two locomotives work well together and they can pull a good size train…
Awesome 👍😎👍
My favorite RR, I've always been a fan of the B&O "Chessie" paint scheme.
Hey Bill! Chessie was my first. And the B&O goes all the way back to my Monopoly days! :)
Shane, appreciate your videos. I model Southern, mostly 1st gen diesels. I have one of BLI PA's, mine runs great.
Hey Ron! Southern, eh? Bet there's nothing but high hoods on that line! I've got a couple high hoods somewhere. Can't remember if they were Southern or NW.
@@Trains-With-Shane yep, nothing but high hoods on my roster :)
"Kinda happened by accident." Genius! Im-a gonna steal this! "I don't know honey, It kinda happened by accident!" Thank you Shane!
Well what happened was I tripped, and just fell into it.
Great videos Shane they are very interesting. How’s the chickens doing we all have other hobbies besides trains .
Chickens were finally moved outside to the coop/grazing area. A few more weeks and they should start laying.
@@Trains-With-Shane mine are just starting to lay eggs
Nice review and will it run vid on the broadway limited Alco pa. I really like the paint scheme on that alco.
Thanks Matt!
Hi Shane, really enjoy your videos very much. I myself have just started a new N scale layout, just in the planning stage as far as track goes. Will most probably be a urban style layout in the late 80s early 90s era on a 3 ft x 6 ft base and be running on DCC. I do live in Mexico but I do have a shared postbox in the USA if I was to be lucky. Keep up the good work and thanks
As long as the destination address is in the states then that's good enough for me
Traction tires?? Is that what the "o-rings" are?
Now that you mention it I believe so, Bob!
I enjoy modeling the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific (which now get a UP markings paint over). I have a number of N scale diesel locomotives that are dcc but also dc equipment which I would like to convert to dcc. Any tips on how to decide if a older locomotive that is not dcc ready is worth converting? Some of the engines have the old open frame motors.
