Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Here she is, one of three SC44 Siemens Chargers.
Bachmann has really step up their game with new Chargers.
The Bachmann Chargers compliment the Walthers Surfliner-Superliners.
Three of these cars has been turned into cab cars and retrofitted with sound and lights. The Surfliner decals was applied to the cars along with road numbers.
The three new Siemen Chargers will be operating with three four car sets.
A new day has come to the SURFLINE, with new power and new equipment.
We're glad you enjoy it! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot, you guys have done a amazing job with this fine machine, can't wait for the second round of them, and I hope it includes the Coasters.
The ACS64s and now the SC44s, you guy are showing us that you're not playing and are very serious in giving the the Amtrak community the best, and we thank you.
Great video & the Amtrak Superliner cars in the Pacific Surfliner colors.
Thats one hell of a layout!!
Thanks
Probably the most beautiful model train video I have ever watched💙 absolutely stunning job
Thank you so very much and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Bachmann did an amazing job, love the horn on it
Hard to believe this is a Bachmann engine, but they really nailed this one. And... WOWSounds good!
Thanks, Bachmann has shown us that they can step with the big boys, they have done an incredible job with these guys
As always very nicely done. Your modeling craftsmanship is displayed in your videos behind your excellent train operations without saying a word or drawing any attention to it. People will always look to the background instinctly to see what's going on back there. As you very well know; back ground scenery is important, great job my friend!
Thank you so much my good and dear friend
Awesome! You are the first video of the Bachman sc44’s lol
Thanks

Wonderful Amtrak equipment.
Thank you so much sir
Wow, This is Great!, the Model train is Fantastic, and it Sounds Amazing.😄❤
Thanks
Those SC 44 charger locomotives have an excellent sounding horn, very realistic when your hear it- Tom.

Wow first time seeing a charger on any layout simply gorgeous! 🚆
Thanks
@@terrellhoward5231 YOUR CHANNEL IS THE ONLY NORMAL THING IN MY LIFE. MY SAFE PLACE! THANKS 🚂
I like the realistic sounds very cool!
Thanks
wow perfect the sound is real and the details are wonderful so I learn for my HO Scale table 👍
Thanks
GREAT footage...GREAT layout!!!
Thanks my friend
Cool nice concrete ties
Thanks
well-done my friend
Thank you so very much my friend
@@terrellhoward5231 I love this layout.. one day when i create one, hopefully it will be as awesome as this one
Nice Cab Car!
Thanks
Fantastic layout. A real work of art.
Thank you so very much
Looks really nice! Both the train and the layout
Thank you so much
love this part
Amazing scenery - warm colors and lots of detail. Weird engines they're using nowadays. That's a classy train. All Amtrak cars should be painted this way.
Thanks
Beautiful
Thanks
That's a happy cat down there!
Gorgeous
Thanks.
Bachmann did one heck of a job with these guys
@@terrellhoward5231 no, I meant your whole layout and this awesome model together looks so awesome
Good show brother 👊🏾
Thank you so much
That's a perfect layout. You must live pretty close to the tracks.
I have some good news and I have some bad news, but first I would like to say thanks.
The good news, is that I do live by the tracks.
The bad news, it's the Northeast Corridor, I actually live in Maryland.
Don't feel bad, a lot of my viewers believe that I live in Southern California.
@@terrellhoward5231 Hi, there, you're comment could not have made me feel bad.
You must be California Dreamin.
I actually live in Maryland
Home team that's just beautiful
Thanks my friend
@@terrellhoward5231 What kind of scale is this?
@@AIRSIDEOPSHo scale
EXCELLENT!!! As it has already been said this is the first video of the Charger in HO; I had to do a double take to see that it was the Bachmann HO units and not real life!! The layout is very well done and matches what a Surfliner passenger sees out of those big windows everyday! I have the Amtrak Midwest #4611 Charger for my Frisco Lines track plan based in St. Louis Union Station. I plan on "incorporating" this Surfliner Charger in a consist "to be delivered" in California! I agree with you, Bachmann has REALLY stepped up their game with this model, from wheels to roof, nose to tail! Keep up the fantastic work on the layout!
I appreciate it that so much my friend and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video
Nice acquisition, can't wait to see some guys trying to consist it with the Rapido NPCUs or some B32s or P42s with ESU
Thanks, but I have consist those cars with both, P32BWH and the P42s, looks great
With sounds
Awesome as usual, stunning camera angles and love the prototype comparison photos. Always eagerly await your notification.👍👍👍
Thanks my friend
Nice horn
Amazing video and layout!
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it
The engineer said *HOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK!*
Just for giggles I would love to repaint the loco and coaches into Daylight colors....
Noooooooooo
wow that engine is beautiful!!! i wish i got one
Star Hobbies in Maryland has them
yes it is, I have a HO Scale Amtrak Midwest Charger it's beautiful
Awesome video man! They are very expensive that i'm tryna save for one!
They are a little pricey, but do not look at the MSRP price, Star Hobbies in Maryland has them for $275
I'm a O scale guy , but great video. The Charger looks great. Love the layout too!
Thank you so much sir
Bachman did a great job on the new Amtrak locomotives. Need to do something for P42s
Well Athearn has new P40s and P42s coming.
It looks like you might have made a Surfliner set along the same lines as one I made for the Central Coast Model Railroad at the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum. And that is from Walthers Superliner 1 cars painted with the Surfliner scheme that actually exists on three such real cars (blue window band only to the top of the side). But adding the big "Surfliner" logo name perhaps from Union Station Products decals. And then modifying by scratch building one of the coaches to be a cab car with lights and sound. And now, along come Athearn with their version of cars about to be delivered. I think I might be retiring the ones I made for the museum and likely replace them with Athearn which will be closer - at least being California Cars with two entry doors per side. Also just got a Bachmann Charger for the museum. Nice engine. But just like passenger car lighting in most cars you buy, the interior light you see through the vent screens is overly bright.
So true, Athearn has thrown one heck of a monkey wrench into my operations, acquiring 12 Walthers cars, three converted into cab cars with electronics added and decaled for the actual service, and then here comes the big bad wolf.
Yes my friend, I will be retiring mine, I place a order that will allow me to build at least 2 of the 3 trains. I'm running my Surfliners as 4 car set because it fits into my San Diego station comfortably.
The loco looks great, and the layout is stunning. Nice work!
It strikes me that the Surfliner looks much better without that one Amtrak car in the consist, like the prototype.
So true my friend
Awesome video!
Thanks
I was planning to do a HO Scale SoCal layout that features the Surf-liner/Coastline route.
Go for it, I would love to see it
Here we GO!!!
Really like the layout as well because it looks modern and the station looks kinda like San Diego Santa Fe depot
Thanks my friend
I also was thinking of getting the SC-44 Charger next year with among three amfleet cars in their Phase V schemes
@@WoozieGuy
Well you know Amtrak is getting 75 long distance version, lets see if Bachmann will react and respond with this version.
I'm also hearing rumors about Kato may get into the game.
have to see if this train is on the east coast
0:56 ya a Lamborghini in the parking lot of a train station VERY realistic.
Thanks
@@terrellhoward5231 how large is your layout?
@@westernpacificrr
12x36ft bi-level railroad
I wish you would have put a super liner in it because sometimes those slip there way into surf liner trains
At a later date and only if I can find more of those Surfliner cars, I will or would like to set up a similar train using a regular Superliner car.
First! That was an awesome video! Just like watching as a Railfan would! Your setup is amazing and very detailed!
Second! What brands of cars and decals did you use for the passenger cars?
Again, great setup and video!
The cars are from Walthers.
A few years ago Walthers did these cars for both, Amtrak California and the Surfliner.
The decals from Train Station Products, which they have for the SURFLINER.
I thought I saw john Misuraca on that train!
stop the bell, please!!!!!!!!!
This is America
Love it!❤️ Are those surf liners custom?
Thanks my friend, the cars are Walthers and the decals are from Union Station products, which a good friend of mine decaled them for me.
Walthers did the Amtrak California and Surfliner Superliners but with minimum markings.
I have 12 cars and running them in 3- four car sets, 3 of these cars where turned into cab cars.
Amazing video where you get the coach cars????
Walthers did those cars a few years back, my good friend decaled them for me and he also turned three of them into cab cars, also my installer installed sound and LED lights in the cab cars.
Cool!! Um do you know where I can buy them??
Because my local train store has the SC-44 locomotive but no train cars for it
@@thesocalrailfan
Those cars are rear and hard to find, but I have some good news, Athearn is bringing out the actual cars later on this year.
Check out Athearn website, the cars release date has been pushed back.
Wow i never seen the be for
Is that sound car custom
Yes
where did you get the model cars? i havent been able to find any with that livery on them
Those are Walthers, but hang in there, Athearn is releasing the actual cars this year.
Loved the video the Siemens charger is great but where did you find the surfliner coaches
Thanks.
Walthers did the cars a few years back, I ordered the Surfliner decals through Union Station products
How much did you have to pay for that cab car?
I brought all 12 SURFLINER cars when Walthers brought them out.
Those cars ran me $65 ea.
Because I'm running three, four car sets, I had 3 of the cars turned into cab cars. A good friend of mine who is a custom builder took on the job, also another good friend of mine who is one hell of a sound installer, installed the sound and added the LED lighting.
With how rear these cars are and the fact that they are so hard to find, if ever thought about putting them on the market, I was told that the cab cars could worrh as much as $350 and up, but I would never know because my equipment isn't for sell not unless one of the manufacturers decides to do the actual California cars.
How did you get yours so soon? I'm still waiting on mine. From what I'm aware, it's not due to arrive until January.
Hey don't feel bad, I had placed a order with Lombard Hobbies and was told next month.
A very good friend of mine had told me that Star Hobbies in Maryland had them and wow they did, I picked up the two out of 3.
Got a phone call yesterday and was told that my 3rd SURFLINER Chargers was there.
I was scratching my head trying figure out how they have them when no one else has them.
Give them a call.
STAR HOBBIES of Maryland.
Oh no no no, I was absolutely surprised and a little confused because I was like "Wait? What?" Then I checked Train World and saw some are actually available now. I was surprised and a little confused because according to Train World as of a few days ago, they were due in January. I have mine on preorder with Lombard. I'm going to wait for them to call me and just get it with them. I'm willing to wait a little while longer if it means getting it cheaper through them.
Let me know if you find some Amtrak superliners blue and gray ebay and amazon. How much it cost
The last time that I saw one of those cars, this clown clown was asking $400 for one car, I want to do another train and I would need 4 more, but at that price, yeah right, I guess we will stick with the 3 trains.
Where can I get Amtrak passengers car's blue and gray
Those cars are from Walthers, and they as of now are hard to find
MAN! You better change that title!
Something wrong with the title, talk to me.
@@terrellhoward5231 Please add an "s" and make it a "Siemens Charger" otherwise we have some innuendo issues LoL
@@gavinsimmonsmccullum4219
You got it my friend
Lol
Trin
How much is the SC44 Amtrak with sounds
$280 in retail stores
@@terrellhoward5231 thanks 👍 not to much same price other locomotives 400💲 for passenger car 4 one car it's a brass car. I have regular Amtrak passengers car's superliners n Budd diner heritage amfleets
Can you change the LED display board between the ditchlights? I want to get an Amtrak Midwest version, but want to know if I can change the train name on the LED board.
Sorry my friend but the answer is no, but the Midwest version has two road numbers with different names on the board
Who's passengers car's with The red lights n coach cab Amtrak where can I get the Amtrak passengers Surfliner how much it cost.
Those cars are Walthers, i had 3 of them turned into cab cars and also had sound and LEDs installed.
Those cars as of now are so hard to find and if you did, the seller is asking way too much for them.
I have 12 would like to add 4 more.
At the time that they were available I paid $65 each, I have been seeing them on Ebay as much as $400 each.
No working signals?
I chose to not to light up this railroad right now, all the wiring is there, the next railroad that will be built, sometime in the future will be lighted. As I getting more experienced in electronics and ect., prices and resources are more now available. If I light the signals, I would want street lights, buildings and ect. lighted. There is a area on the layout that I cannot get to and it's a section of downtown San Diego that I would want lighted, so I chose not to do lights, just because of that.
I dislike e bells. I think they recorded a recording from a model train.
Is there a way to trun off the strobe lights because I know someone get annoyed when it fash all the time becuse in the real SC-44 chager there strobe lights turn off when you stop blowing the horn or bell
You may have to call TCS about that, I personally love the flashing strobes. Check over your manual for the CV adjustments or just contact TCS, I have talked to them before, they seem to be really nice people that will help with any problems or questions, especially when it comes to SC44s
@@terrellhoward5231 okay thanks ☺️
@@chrisscott8934
No problem my friend
@@terrellhoward5231 oh one thing did you figgerd out how to change the destination broad on chager yet?
@@chrisscott8934
It's a print.
Decals would be the solution
Wrong cars... 😥
Actually they are and not.
Are they the actual California cars, no. Does these cars exist, yes.
Amtrak does use these fill in Superliner cars on the Surfliner.
A few of the Superliners are painted in the Surfliner scheme.
Now in the model world, these cars are close as we gonna get until a manufacturer decides to bring them out, I just took it further by having 3 cars turned into cab cars and decaling the rest of the fleet.
I'm using what we have, and making it work.
So if you have any other ideas, let me know.
where did you get the model cars? i havent been able to find any with that livery on them
Athearn is bringing the correct cars out next year.
Those are the Walthers cars that they brought out a few years ago.
