You knowledge in working on the locomotive as actually beginning to frighten me! It's like Dr. Frankenstein creating his railroad monster. Watching you actually repair the undercarriage of this engine makes me think that, when it comes to trains, Young Sheldon is a wuse! I have no idea what you're doing, but it is fascinating to watch (and looking at the baggie of spare parts that you have and comprehending what's inside it, would be akin to me trying to read Latin). By the way, is there actually anything out in the real world that has this long of a body or is this something that just comes out of the deep, dark recesses of your mind?🙂
Thanks Peter. The most similar diesel locomotive in the real world in terms of length would be Union Pacific's dda40x, which is 98 feet long. If this locomotive was built at 1:1 scale it would be around 150 feet long so its certainly hard to compare to anything else around. It's not realistic but it sure makes for a fun project.
Sunny: why are you called the super duper chief The engine: take a look at me bunny Sunny then runs alongside the chief and gasps at what he sees. Right behind the chief was another locomotive without a cab and then another locomotive with cab and they were connected together in a articulated frame Sunny: OH MY GOODNESS what happened to you The engine facing the wall: we were a victim of Chernobyl The front engine: no this was one of many experiments the railroad wanted to try out The chickens: fainted

I think a more fitting name for this very, very bizarre-looking locomotive would be "The Stuper Chief (or The Stooper Chief) due to how insanely weird and "impossible to exist in real life" it is.
Hey SMT! It’s me again. This time I’m here to say that your videos with the TYCO locos has helped me restore my dad’s spirit of 76 loco! It hasn’t ran in about 20-30 years. It was in pretty rough shape and had very few operable parts. After the eBay purchase arrived with parts, she ran the rails again! Thanks so much for your insight on these locomotives!
Harrison, you are my kind of modeler! An eye for realism, accompanied by an appreciation for the abstract, even absurd, and with a good sense of humor accompanying it all! And kudos to whoever made that overlong tank car for the Super Super Chief to pull! Well done, good sir!
Amazing seeing the Suuuuuuuper Chief running laps! Especially with that tanker behind it. Congrats on getting it to take corners, I never thought it would be able to!
Oh boy was that ever wild! When you triggered the switch after the first truck went over, I had a crazy flashback to watching slot cars go through a crossover with a neighboring track. A real drift there… I love that long tank you used in consist with the loco and wish I could find my own copy of it. It’s one of my favorite pieces of your rolling stock. I wonder… thinking about the cool layout you made for a family friend last year. I don’t think you could run super loco on the inside loop of that layout (or the outside tunnel section), but it would be cool to see briefly drift through the crossover section. Thanks for the wonderful madness! This is how you have fun with trains!

Fantastic video Harrison! The anticipation the last few weeks was worth it. You can tell when the beast soldering iron comes out the outcome is going to be good! Take care, Jeff.
@@SMTMainline Brother, life goes by very quicly. Working full time now, but I still work some weekends at the local train shop here in PA. Keep doing what you're doing!
Haven't seen multi track drifting for a while on the channel. It's nice to see you still do fun things with trains and haven't become over serious. Great video!
There are a lot of nice model railway videos out there, but this is by far the most fun one I've seen in a long time! It's such a crazy idea, but excellently executed!
@SMT Mainline - Hmm...Now all you need is an extended length box car and gondola, a double length flat car w/load, extended coal hopper and an extended length caboose with two cupolas on each end and you'll be golden,lol.
In all fairness, I thought the loco was a crazy idea back when you first made it and thought you were crazy. Now I know you're crazy, and we all love that. What a MAD loco. Imagine if this was real. It would probably have some real power.
Harrison just saw the video and the only thing I can say is wow. Those rotating trucks was the key to getting it to go around the layout. Big congratulations on getting the super chief and super tanker on the rails
Dude. I never expected to see that monster doing full laps. Nice work! It was just a funny goofy project to start, but now it actually 'works.' *Clears throat.* Errr..... well. Runs.
@SMTMainline Harrison, that is one crazy, janky engine! I love it! It's the only engine I've ever seen that can travel on two separate track line at once! Well done indeed!!
Dude! LOL. That is so awesome. After a few laps I was thinking, you should run it on the inner track, then the drift move, laughed out loud. So cool. Well done. Also, I’m liking the transitions. Very Star Wars.
This is a Great Project. I remember watching you build the SuperDuperChief. I Loved this Locomotive right away . The 2.0 Upgrade Version is beyond impressive. This is now 100 Percent my favorite of your collection. Maybe more XL cars built by your fans will arrive. I'd love to see more Crazy- fun Channel content like this. Best Wishes, SantaFeSteve
I'm glad you don't let the Negative Comments from Snobby Scale Modelers get to you. Trains should be Fun. Most important part of any type of Model Railroading Endeavor. " FUN FIRST" I might decal that on a Caboose😊Cheers SantaFeSteve
People can say what they want about it. My goal was never to build something precise, it was just to make something for fun and it did so successfully 👍
Definitely the best engine in your roster, SMT, you’re truly a mad scientist…or in this case, engineer haha seeing that thing go around the corners was almost mesmerizing. The double track drifting was equal parts Fast & Furious and something akin to a twirling move from a marine rifle drill team lol
Oh mate, I did not, wow. That's so amazing, and the tank car too. Drifting..... Oh I've never seen anything like it. That's amazing and it goes all the way. Most entertaining. Thanks again SMT.
I made a locomotive like this way back in 1994 I call it a DDDDPF45 as it uses the Canadian Pacific Wide style cab and uses 2 real engines to power the unit, all 4 trucks on my unit work as one giving the loco a lot of power, thanks for reminding me about it totally forgot about it, may remake it now seeing yours making it better than what it was from 94.
I like the F series because of its shorter wheelbase compared to later models, so I can use 15 in radius track. But have fun, that's what model railroadin is all about.
Drifting on the mainline, Harrison... You haven't done that in quite awhile. That's definitely a beast of a loco, and that tanker -- oof. Now you need an extended, extended vision caboose. Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍
I never seen a Santa Fe Super Chief locomotive diesel like that before that's pretty cool! Good job in fixing it and getting it running it's really cool!! Good job, Harrison 👍👍👏👏👏❤❤ Great video !! I love how it goes around the track pulling the big tanker😊😊👍👍😊😊😍😍
Super. I love your Super Super Chief locomotive. It reminds me of a dual cab Australian locomotive, or the UP double cab turbine, or maybe the Baldwin Babyface dual cab units.💙 T.E.N. Edit: If you add silver foil or silver panels or silver paint along the side of the fuel tank, it would look like one long locomotive, then all you need is a long caboose to make an interesting shelf display. 🙂
P.S. You might check out an N scale loco called the Cotton Brute that can pull over 300 train cars, filled with depleted uranium. It is two GE U30CGs welded together. 🙂 Also check a comment about that loco I accidentally put in the replys to a comment about "having two Sharks and funny ideas." Cheers. 💙 T.E.N.
Hey SMT mainline nice video I like how organised you are with your parts bin and finding the part you need. I often do that myself when I’m repairing some my toy buses. I always keep parts ready just in case something breaks or snaps off I think making the trucks pivot would actually help the engine going round the curves. Hopefully you get it going well done on your video always something I look forward to watch. thank you.❤🎉
Serenity you got it going again I think having the trucks pivot has helped the locomotive a lot when going round the curves I like how you’ve got parts been all organised so you know what part you need for what locomotive? I do the same thing with my toy buses, I always have some spare parts just in case anything breaks or snaps Once again well done great job getting this locomotive going. Thank you for your videos. Always something I look forward to watching.
