Great haul Eric!! Everything you got is top notch. That Atlas reefer has some fine details. I personally love the night shot of the Amtrak F40PH and the passenger cars. You really get to see how good the illumination looks in low lights. Very nice.
Great video... especially the Wilson & Co reefer...my dad used to work for the company for over 25 years at their plant in Harrisburg PA. Great memories of visiting the plant right next to the Reading mainline from Rutherford yards to Hagerstown via the Western Maryland connection at Chambersburg.
Great haul Eric, those 2 locomotives are stunning, especially the F40PH can't wait to see the reviews for both of those. That all door boxcar is cool, I didn't know those existed before, you can arrange the doors in different configurations. Great video
Awesome haul Eric. You're right about that Wisconsin and Southern SD40, Fantastic paint scheme. Everything looks great. The all door boxcar is unique. And, your correct, I have never seen one until now. Have fun 😊
Eric, please share your magic potion. Two long 20 foot walls of shelves in my trainroom and we're running out of display space. All these units, where do you display and hold all this. We watched you probably for 12 to 18 years at least. And you never loose the passion very well done. Gary
2:30 you are correct. The UP snow plow is called the Jordan Spreader! The Jordan can be used all year long to help sloop the ballast along the rails or clear the right-of-way.
I don’t know if you will ever see this, but I grew up watching your videos. I recently remembered this channel and I was so happy to see that you still upload.
Congratulations 🎈🍾! Your unboxings are always fun. I have never seen this all doors boxcar. Interesting for sure. This is the biggest year ever for pre orders for our layout! Super exciting time in this hobby. So much available and being produced now the dilemma for us is picking what you really want and targeting those items . So glad Atlas is doing such a great job with everything they are making.
It's always a good day when your new engines and rolling stock show up on your and of course you got to play with them everything looks good Eric and I do find that all door boxcar quite unique 👍👍
Wow that's a lot of nice new Atlas stuff you bought, Eric! I like how they bought several pieces of premier O gauge tooling and keep the Protosound 3.0 electronics in their Premier Line locomotives. By the way, I noticed in this video and several of your recent ones, the framerate is slower at about 30 FPS or 24 FPS. Could you please have revert to 59 FPS or 60 FPS again for your future videos like you did before? I liked seeing the faster, real-time framerates in your older videos. The slower framerate that's used here is kind of jarring to me. Thank you.
Eric, we know these videos take a great deal of time and effort. Do you still get time in your schedule to run trains most days? Sometimes its hard to do life, work, family, and make time for trains. Gary
Wow what to say ??? You hit jack pot really SD -40-2 it's amazing and Amtrak F-40 dang it is great. Rest would be just great choice rolling stock period. NS 🐴 weight test car nailed it. I was friends with Southern Railway then NS testor of those cars
Hey Eric what are your thoughts on MARTA. As a fellow Georgia resident I try to use the system when I can but I'm curious as to your take on it. I think it needs to expand across the state or be supplemented with more passenger rail
The Scale Weight Test Car in real life wasn't loaded with sand or any kind of material actually they use an air-compressor that would be on board and the method of using air is added to a certain "scale" hence the name and the wheels and coupler mount of the car would get tighter making the car feel heavier than what it really is, reasons why there Not supposed to be Humped as you could image tight wheels in a retarder.
Very nice. Looks like your basement could be a museum.

Love the All door box car, real cool!

You opened a lot of presents today thanks for sharing
Thank you too
Awesome selections!!! 👍
You do not put four containers in 1 car, it’s forbidden, 20 foot containers only belong in the bottom well! Only 40’,’45’,48’s on top for twin stacks.
Great haul Eric, those 2 locomotives are stunning, especially the F40PH can't wait to see the reviews for both of those. That all door boxcar is cool, I didn't know those existed before, you can arrange the doors in different configurations. Great video
Thanks 👍
That shot of the Amtrak at night. Very nice.
Awesome haul Eric.
You're right about that Wisconsin and Southern SD40, Fantastic paint scheme.
Everything looks great. The all door boxcar is unique. And, your correct, I have never seen one until now.
Have fun 😊
Great unboxing video Eric! 😀

For a second, I thought the Amtrak 404 was gonna be “not found” #NerdHumor
I love this
That snowplow looks exactly like the mth snowplow. I have one and it looks identical
Amazing video Eric! Happy Thursday!
Chessie's just tired after clearing all that rubble and laying all that track. 700 miles is a lot for 3 cats.
I really like the wsor 40th anniversary locomotive
Where did you get your Wisconsin and Southern SD40-2? Do you buy direct? Gorgeous locomotive! Kind regards!
You out of control 😂

The all door boxcar I have not seen that before so it something new I like it
I'm surprised you haven't done any Menards reviews in a long time
Not bad cars, I might try atlas sometime.
Hey Eric, I was wondering if Atlas has the proto 3 in those Diesel's or not? I only have a DCS unit and was just wondering. Thanks buddy for any info.
Hey Eric what are your thoughts on MARTA. As a fellow Georgia resident I try to use the system when I can but I'm curious as to your take on it. I think it needs to expand across the state or be supplemented with more passenger rail
It's underfunded and not allowed to expand like it should.

Where do you get the railings I see on the elevated tracks I just built a ceiling train. Thx in advance. Frank
I’ve been interested in getting a Atles Locomotive lately
You should, they're great
@@Ericstrains remind me, have the only made diesels or have they made steamers too?
@@railchief74 they made one small steamer years ago that wasn’t very good. Other than that they’ve always focused on diesels .
@@Ericstrains almost like what A.M.T (Albern model trains) did?
Is the Jordan spreader motorized? Or not?
No, it's not. But it does have interior lighting.
How many Canadian National diesel-electric locomotives do you have?
Proto sound 3 or?
3
are you still getting the strasburg 90?
Yes
Got myself a scale test car I have the bn version
Did i just meet you in santa maria California?
No lol
first
Amazing
Tetris?
You’ve never heard of Tetris? Google it.
