  • My carpet layout has undergone several changes since my PE video last Christmas. Most notable is I now have an O-60 loop inside an O-72 loop. There are a couple sidings with operating accessories. I show some of these in this video. I hope you all enjoy this.
    Lionel scale Polar Express
    PM 1225 and Polar Express Tender.
    Atlas RPO custom painted by Jeff Sohn.
    K-Line Operating Milk Car painted by me.
    Lionel scale Polar Express passenger coach and observation car. The observation car went through a heavy modification...done by me.
    I airbrushed all roofs with Floquil Graphite then used Doc O'Brien's weathering powder to simulate wind blown snow.
    Copy and paste the following to see a how-to on Winter weathering my passenger cars...

    Christmas 2012 is just a few weeks old but watched some Christmas Movies tonight, listened to Christmas music (Polar Exp) and finishing with this train set, the magic is still here, the New Year can wait a little longer. Thanks a bunch.

    I have the PM 1225 literally under my skin.
    I got the tattoo I always wanted and when I saw the Lionel Polar Express logo I had it tattooed on my right upper arm. She’s also my UA-cam icon.

  • @sunfiregts
    @sunfiregts  11 років тому

    Hi Ron! I custom mixed the paint. Using Floquil Railroad enamels shot through an airbrush. The formula is 4 parts Reefer Gray...1 part CSX Blue(GLS)...slowly add Reefer white-not quite 1 part. Thin per bottle recommendation with Testors enamel thinner.
    After a day or so, I clear coated with a 50/50/ mix of Floquil flat and their Crystal Cote. Thin per bottle with Testors.
    Hope this helps.

    +Michigan & Ohio Valley Lines To be Very Honest, Your Train Layout is the Best, I Really Love it. I Like How you Ran the Polar Express Along side a Diesel Train. I also Like the Polar Express Model Itself too. I Really Hope in the Future That you Will make More of These Videos. I can see that you Put alot of Effort into Making this Train Layout, Keep up the Good Work & Stay Encouraged.!!😉😉

    • @sunfiregts

    @snowmantrains Thank you! I had some accessories that I just didn't really have a spot for, but I had purchased them so cheap I couldn't pass up the deal. Since I redid the track plan, I was able to make room for them. There are still many improvements to come for my carpet layout so stay tuned ; )

  • @sunfiregts
    @sunfiregts  11 років тому

    It is pretty easy to do. I have a how-to on it on O-Gauge Hobbyist site. UA-cam wont let me post a link, but I updated this video's description with the web link. You have to copy and paste it in your browser.

    @TF47 11 років тому

    Please answer me back:
    I have the polar express and I am thinking of getting the all aboard passenger car and the train sounds tender I just have three questions:
    One: Can the announcement from the passenger car be operated without a legacy system?
    Two: Can crew talk be activated through the whistle or does it have to be a controller system?
    And three where did you get the PE diesel?
    Thank you for your time.

    @thomasandfriends47 Both are as they come straight from Lionel. The tanker was one of the first two freight cars that Lionel put out in the Polar RailRoad name. The diesel was an uncatalogued item that Lionel offered in the 2010 Year end flyer.

    It probably wouldn't look right. These heavyweight passenger cars are large...19". Lionel suggests O-54 curves. I don't have the starter set to compare them with.

    My set is the Scale items, not the ready-to-run set. My all aboard sounds come from the locomotive's tender. The diesel is a Lionel Polar Railroad GP7 from 2010.
