This week, we are running my very own custom-made O-Gauge Lionel Scale Diesel Legacy engine! We will be sure to double-head it with some big steam (Challenger) along the way and also see it running with the Heritage Katy locomotive!

Most important- Thank YOU for supporting this channel and making this possible!
Enjoy!
_About Me_
I have been collecting O Gauge Trains all my life and enjoy sharing the hobby with others. This channel is dedicated to sharing O Gauge Trains and Experiences. I enjoy collecting trains from all eras and learning about the history and influence that model trains have had for generations.

My favorite part is probably the cherry coke paint on the trucks. Didn’t notice that different before until you had em side by side. So cool they built this!! Congrats “Our Friend Chris”!
Loved the reaction video! So did my wife and kids!
He now has a LOT of bragging rights
This project is thanks to everyone who has been watching my videos. This engine is all of ours to celebrate!
2 years ago, he came out of nowhere. Now, he has his own locomotive. With a layout upgrade in-between. Congrats RBP! 🎉
Thank you Garrett! I appreciate you for supporting these videos!
@RBPTrains Wow wow wow hold up!!!!! Is that the perfect grade astray?! Dude your into gundams aswell! Man you got to put them in some videos more! Even to make a gundam train load hauling each part! What other gundams do you have?!?!?
As a life long fan of the MKT I definitely appreciate this custom unit! Grew up seeing them in their yellow-green scheme in the 80's and have the N scale heritage unit. Your channel has grown so much! lol i'm a little envious! lol. I don't run O scale but I may have to save up for one of these.
I need to get some MKT in the Yellow-Green scheme for sure. I will be sure to check out your channel as well Shane! Thanks for watching!
I think the colors look amazing, I love that the trucks are painted the cherry coke red too, it looks really cool. Your custom engine would look great running with Eric's custom engine. I love the little subtle easter eggs too. Great video and congratulations once again Chris.
Congratulations Chris! That is one beautiful engine. I love the color combination and especially the painted trucks along with the chain detail on the rear truck. The fixed pilots are really nice. If you ever decide to have another engine made you might consider adding your voice to the crew talk. Please keep creating your informative videos. They are a great addition to the world of O scale model railroading.
Chris, it has to feel really good to have accomplished this. That is a gorgeous engine and it is even more special because it is a unique RBP Trains creation (with a little help from Lionel and TrainWorld). One reason we all enjoy your channel so much is that you keep upping the ante. Looking forward to what you do next!
A dream come true! Such great news, Chris, and an awesome response! This is real a big win-win for you and your fans and all collectors. Congratulations to you for your foresight and loyalty making this happen with the support of Trainworld and Lionel. The Katy RBP ES44 is a stunner to see and running on the layout. Wow! Two years and all these stellar accomplishments!
Congrats Chris!! 👏 What an absolute well-deserved honor! Your channel has inspired me in many ways. You are one of the main reasons I got back into the hobby. What you've done for the model train community can not be understated. You are a hero 🫡 - Ryan
Thank you for the kind words Ryan! The model train community continues to grow and it has been fun and exciting to be a part of it. None of this would be possible without the support of the folks who have been supporting this channel. Thank YOU!
@@RBPTrainsChris,you found mr muffin trains and very good content up has finally had a gevo heritage series
I can only imagine the joy, honor and pride you most feel. Something you started as a hobby then posting UA-cam videos about it and 2 years later you've teamed up with Lionel and have your very own custom engine. There are UA-cam channels with 20x your sub numbers that haven't achieved such things in their respective communities.
Chris.........Your Katy looks GREAT, FANTASTIC, SHARP, BEAUTIFUL, COOL, SHARP. Well done! Congratulations Chris!
We need to get this man his own custom rolling stock!
You nailed it Chris ! The colors are perfect and couldn’t have been any better ! Really like the trucks and the fuel tank …..
Chris,
So Happy I got one of your engines, it's terrific!!
Love your channel and have been a subscriber from pretty close to your beginning. Its your amazing personality and creativity that sets you apart from all the rest. Keep up the great job your doing by inspiring all of do better work on our layouts.
Next round of RBP custom equipment, lets do some rolling stock. Maybe a nice 50' hi-cube box car or tank car to start with. Heck, I'd buy a whole consist of RBP rolling stock.
How cool would that be. Thanks from everyone who has every watched one of your videos. Even if they didn't subscribe, because your you they keep tuning back in.
Thanks for everything Chris, your the Best!
Thank you so much Tim! Without you and the folks who have been watching, none of this would have happened! Caboose is on the way and more rolling stock to follow :)
Chris, I have enjoyed your personal take on our hobby. I just got your new diesel and I like the color scheme. I was not following the Katy line but I found the red and silver MTH Rock Island passenger cars are a dead match to the base Katy red. They look very cool together so I now have a totally fantasy scheme line. I am starting my own permanent install so I will keep in touch. Again thanks for all you do for this great hobby. Duncan
Thanks Christ, (BROTHERMAN) --For all the hard work, WE ALWAYSE ENJOY YOUR SHOWS!!!! YOUR FRIENDS-----Howard & Jane M. 😊😃😄😁👍👍
Thank you Howard and Jane!
Great job. Excellent engine and paint scheme!
Chris GREAT JOB. Very Proud of You CHRIS
Congratulations on getting the engine made Chris!!! Great video showing off this awesome engine and achievement.
Thank you my friend! When we running trains again??
@@RBPTrains hopefully soon!!!
I used to sell you and your dad trains along with my dad at train depot! God how I miss those days. Ever since my dad died I can’t hardly stand to look at trains!:((( I’m so proud of of what you have done for the hobby!:)) -Jason Gartner
Great to hear from you Jason! Hope you have been doing okay man.
Chris, great job on the color scheme. I am glad you explained the reason for the black color because that is not a color I would have chosen. It really looks great with the burgundy and red stripes! I had to look up the history on The Katy to learn it is a real train. I thought your wife's name was Katy and so you put it on the train and T-shirt! Lol!! All the best to you!
It came out wonderful Chris the only thing missing is a little figure of you in the cab 👍👍
At first, I wasn't sure about the Darker red. But now it has really grown on me. And now I think I like it better than the brighter red. Beautiful locomotive
Extraordinary looking locomotive 🚂 Extraordinary impressive layout and bridge ✨️✨️✨️✨️👍🏻
Congratulations on the release. I purchased both Katy engines today that you are running. Looking forward to the caboose and additional rolling stock. Thanks for the intro on the design. Good layout on colors. Jan
The colors ended up looking great! Awesome engine!
Now you should do a steam locomotive version.
It should be either the T1 Duplex 4-4-4-4, the Haiwatha, the 2-10-10-2, or the Triplex.
I vote for the T1
@@bernardbob
That's a great choice, since the 5550 is near in completion.
That burgundy lower end really sets it off. Beautiful!
That design of the ES44 is 🔥💜💜💜💜
Congratulations bro that is definitely 💯
Congratulations Chris! It’s really awesome you had the opportunity to design your own custom locomotive representing you and your channel. But really, Cherry Coke is your favorite soft drink?! Congrats again!!!
Awesome locomotive love the colors and especially the horn sounds 👌
Great looking Locomotive. I’ve read the comments on the forum and it’s just some complaining as usual. I think it’s absolutely beautiful Locomotive. Congratulations and keep supporting our great hobby. Our hobby is no not dying it’s changing for the better and for the future.
Looks really great. Love the colors. Another shade of red seems unimportant in light of the finished project. I know you've got to be proud. I would be.
Congratulations, Chris. Just want to let you know that I got one of the RBP Katy ES44AC, And I love it. The color is beautiful. I don't have a layout, and this my first Lionel Legacy locomotive. And I don't have a Legacy controller so just set up a oval of fastrack on the floor and ran it with my lionchief app. It is great. Thanks for making my first legacy engine the best one yet.
This is so cool that your first Legacy engine is this one! The ES44 models are always fun to run and they can pull anything! Thank you for supporting!
You are in the big time now Chris. LOL Your very own locomotive. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. 2 thumbs up!!
Chris, I think the colors of your new locomotive are incredible, I wouldn’t change a thing!
Totally love the colors!!!! Congratulations
Missed your videos. Glad to see you again.
Congratulations Chris. This is a beautiful locomotive befitting the work and support you do for this great hobby through your You Tube channel. It is an honor to you, a great model railroader. That said, I have it and I'm glad I do. I have the certificate and I am going to frame it. I did like the bright red colors originally illustrating how the locomotive would look better and so the locomotives actual release was a little of a let down. But I am enjoying it. It looks great and it is a lot of fun! Thanks very much for all you do!
Thank you David! The color was a surprise to us all. I appreciate all of your support and hope you enjoy the engine for years to come!
Nice job congratulations ! The engine is beautiful !
Congratulations Chris, the RPB loco looks great love the color scheme. Looking forward to the matching caboose.
Love the colors!
Great video Chris. Congrats on your new model. Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration for all of us. Great looking engine. Looking forward to your future videos. 👍
Beautiful Color scheme. Congratulations on your dream come true. Bet it will be on the track for sometime. 👍
Congratulations Chris! I LOVE THE PAINT SCHEME, ITS PERFECT!!! I especially like the black, which represents the color of your shirt, which is very fitting, that is truly YOUR custom made engine to share with the WHOLE WORLD!!! I'm so proud to know you and call you my friend !!!
YOU ARE TRULY AN O SCALE RAIL GOD!!! I cant wait to see all the young fans at York hand you a Sharpie and watch with excitement as you sign an autograph for them. I might have to get in that line for sure!!
So awesome, looks great!
With the custom engine so popular, it needs a super Bass unit with custom RBP sounds etc, then some rolling stock, caboose etc....
Caboose is available to order now from Trainworld. :) Super bass unit would be great too! Thanks for watching
It looks awesome! WTG Chris!
Oh man, this looks so real
Looks GREAT!!!!!!
Rbp the models look cool
I absolutely love this engine. I love the paint job and every thing about it, if I had a custom train it would be a 2.0 huson with the 765 whistle and the colors would be black and yellow. Anyways congratulations chris, you deserve it.
Kongratulations on your Kustom Katy engine Kris! (Enough "K's" there for you? 🤣)
Seriously, that's one nice piece of work, the colors support each other perfectly, you couldn't ask for better!
Enjoy it! You deserve the honors!
Congrats Chris!!!!! Love the engine color!!! Mayb one day I may get my layout going. It has been very tough form me to do much. Money is not coming easy form me. But soon it will happen. I hope
🎉 so smooth. Beautiful engine
Congratulations on your custom es44 the RBP Katy🚂❤
Congrats! I’m not usually a diesel fan but this is an exception!
I love it! I Love Toy Trains: Calling All Trains! Don’t miss it!
Beautiful Engine Brotherman!! Your laying down the coolist sounds in town for all the cool cats kittens dolls lovers & true lovers too...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaakeepon rolliing BRO!! COOL MAN COOL!!!!! 😊😀😃😁😛👍👍 Howard&Jane Markham
Great run, looks good but somebody missed the paint color that was originally show n what was delivered.
That being said mine should arrive soon.
I complement you, Eric, Zack and others for instilling new life into this hobby. Now Lionel MUST do their part..
Thanks @dalediethorn1481! The color was a surprise when we opened the engines. Hope you get yours soon and thank you again!
Hi Chris, congratulations, I'm really glad that you've had this opportunity. You have definitely earned it. I just got the model a couple of days ago and the RBP Trains ES44AC is a beauty. Bill B.
You bought a fantasy scheme engine?! Well that is the most flattering compliment Bill, haha! Thank you my good friend!
Chris, yes, I did! LOL My first fantasy scheme locomotive will definitely have a prominent place in the OM&S train room. Bill@@RBPTrains
Congrats.. Chris looks really good maybe just a little weathering.. but really nice as is..
I just bought one and love everything about it. Nice job all around Chris.
Thank you for your support @steveg38!
I like this color far more than bright red. It looks more "substantial" and elegant. I wouldn't change a thing.
Thank you very much @spiritofstlouis007!
I really like the horn
Great looking paint congrats
Chris you need to do another!!!! All black, silver tank & trucks !!! Also trying a dark gray for chevron stripes might actually be a nice touch would probably be a hit being a SD70 as well !!!
What a beauty it is too, I got mine in the other day and can't wait to get it on the tracks once I have my layout setup! Thank you Chris! Real glad to see the Red Frame back on your layout too :)
Congratulations Chris!! This locomotive is awesome!! I am so glad I preordered one!! It is a testament to you and the great work you have done showcasing the fun that exists in our awesome hobby!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you Anthony! Enjoy the engine!
Very sharp!
Congrats Chris! What an amazing engine!
Thanks my friend!
Man is that engine beautiful! So glad it’s finally here!!!
Congratulations, Chris. That's certainly one fine-looking engine. It pairs nicely with the other engine and with the cars you ran behind it. The only improvement would have been to put a miniaturized version of yourself in the cab. That would be the cherry on top, don't you think? Keep up the great videos. I thoroughly enjoy them.
I need to ask my friend Bernard at Mini Prints to make a figurine that we could put in the cab, haha!
Congratulations Chris! That is one gorgeous engine. "Big ups 👍 from Chicago "Train Dawg"!"
Thank you @bigswoll07!!
The Engine looks amazing and I love the black and stripes. Congratulations! I had a thought about your names, If you're going to keep the Cherry Coke, Hot Dog names going, you should keep them with a Summer BBQ Theme. Black Train: Charcoal, White Engine: Potato Salad, Green Engine: Lettuce....
The locomotive has come out beautifully!! You used my favourite shade of red!!
Thank you!
Chris, I love it! Custom painting is my jam so I can understand your enthusiasm when you get to personalize one too!
It looks great. I’ll have to bounce on my couch to see if I can come up with funds.
I love the paint scheme , great job.
AWESOME! I’m glad you have your own engine!
That is a beautiful site!
Wish it would fit on a hat, lol
Turned out to be an amazing model! Now you should partner with Lionel again to make O Scale Chris figures for everyone to put on their layout😂 Great video! I really enjoyed it!
The "Cherry Coke" engine, definitely goes along with the MKT Heritage unit and compliments Amtrak's "Phase III Pepsi Can" liveried locomotives (B32-8WH, P42 Genesis heritage unit).
that train is so cool!
Chris this diesel engine looks so cool. I’m glad I got one. I think this diesel is the best looking one for this year. Keep up the good work! Great videos.
Thank you Bob!
Your welcome!
Loved the Katy!
Gorgeous locomotive and I love your channel. Subscribed!
Thank you and welcome aboard!
I’ve watched this video a few times now and I love this locomotive! You should definitely start doing more custom runs! Some rolling stock would be awesome!!
Thanks Wyatt! Working on rolling stock and we also have a caboose available for ordering now. :)
Mine arrived, it's a beautiful locomotive.
Very nice! The horn and details are amazing!
Beautifull , like the colors , fils well with the other one !!!
You are definitely not wrong about the sounds I have sd-70ace’s in the B&O scheme the last run they did and the bass on that thing vibrates my layout
Also I love your videos and support them.
No doubt about it....a beauty ! 👍
Wow ! Awesome RBP !
Congratulations! It looks great!
I’m very happy with mine !!! It’s beautiful
Thank you Dwight!
