    Idk what’s sweeter the engine or the passenger cars. Great video guys smile on my face the whole time 😂

      We felt the same, Ray. Our run session went on and on...we didn't want to stop. Thanks so much. And we really look forward to your own videos. Well done. Keep them coming. Gary

    That ALP-46 is AMAZING! And those Bombardier bi level coaches! Gotta have it! I ride these trains frequently as well. Didn't realize MTH made these. Congratulations on an amazing acquisition.

    Some great scores at that show gents! Sure, you had to pay full list on the NJ Transit coaches but that's not too surprising, as you correctly pointed out you just don't see them anywhere. Pure supply and demand in action with New Jersey-themed articles, they come out and typically get snapped up quickly. Hey, I overpaid (in my opinion anyway) on a Lionel Jersey Central Camelback several years ago but you just don't see them anywhere either.
    Six cars on a Jersey Transit train is a nice all-around consist. From what I've seen on videos of NJT trains the consists can run from four to eight cars so having six is pretty good and makes an impressive train.
    Looks like it was NJ Transit day on your layout! And I spotted that NJT PCC car, it really stuck out! I've got one myself, I bought at a train show here in Virginia, got a VERY good deal on it and a good laugh as well. The seller looked at me a little funny and asked "You're not from around here, are you?" "Not originally!" I replied!
    I'm not aware of Lionel producing any Jersey Transit products besides the starter sets, although I could be wrong. I've got one of the starter sets myself plus add-on cars. Not a high-quality as the MTH products but they look good on my small layout and they're fun to run..
    Oh, don't worry about mis-pronouncing Bombardier as "Bomb-bar-deer" and not "Bomb-bar-dee-ay," people have been mispronouncing it ever since the first Bombardier snowmobiles began showing up here in the 1970s. If I remember right they even pronounced it wrong in the snowmobile commercials! Gary may have to correct me on that.
    A fun video as always! Thanks for posting!

      Good catch for that strategically placed pcc trolley. Hopefully, we can spend more and more time on our trainboard to do list stuff, like wiring, landscape, accessories. Like you, ryan gets excited about nj transit and cnj stuff. Gary

    You two are fun to watch in your videos. Especially the interaction between you at times. One question though, why would you like an electric engine to smoke:) Keep up the videos and hope you see you at York next month.

    • @wayneantoniazzi2706
      @wayneantoniazzi2706 2 місяці тому +1

      They MAY have been thinking of the Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 electric which had an on-board oil-fired steam generator for passenger car heating. On some old films of GG1's you can see the steam popping off as it hits maximum pressure. It was years before passenger cars were electrically heated which did away with the need for steam generators.

      True, electic diesel have some exhaust but not really much smoke. But, we love smoke on our trainboard, the more the better. Gary
