MTH Norfolk Southern F-7 ABBA Executive Train

[p42Amtrak83]

Nice. It's a shame the ones today have GE Bells. It takes some of the heritage away. Great video, I love the set.

Rich I love this locomotive! I am seriously thinking about buying this. I have seen it in real life before and it is gorgious. Would you recomend it? By the way, I dont know if you have seen my recent video but I am making good progress on my layout. It was inspired by your black diamond railway DVD 1 and 2. Awesome stuff. I love your vids!

@JDStucks Nevermind, I forgot... they are impossible to buy anymore :(

what gen of proto sound is that?

[Toytrainsontracks]

The audio is an overlay of a real engine if thats why your asking. Otherwise, it protosound 2.0. Some of the scenes are a mix of protosounds and real engine sounds

[Canesfan7012]

the DCC sounded like a F59PHI

[LionelKid16]

Man You have one kick A** Layout!!!!

[SeniorMinch229018]

Awesome layout, awesome engines and everything! MTH has done it again! Making of an excellent prototype for us to play with! Now if they would make a set in G-scale...

norfolk southern does not have f-7s they were retired in the 60's to 70's

[Toytrainsontracks]

Sure they do. These exact engines are in existence today hauling around the Norfolk Southern executives in their OCS train. Checkout railpictures website for photos. Use keyword 4270.

LOL ! Rich,"You must a hit`em pretty hard to get a comment like that"! "You go man" TOM :)

[bstep13]

That was Ultra Realistic and Beautiful. Love the Camera Angles making it look like a real train!!!!

[1railfan]

Wow. Beautiful ABBA lash-up, sight and sound. How many units are powered w/sound? Great Layout, loved the bridge. Your camera work complimented both the trains and the layout. The low angles and smooth panning made feel I was there (and 1/48 in size). Did you use a tripod w/wheels or did you hand hold when moving with the engines? My only criticism is that I wish the video was longer! Keep up the good work.

[Toytrainsontracks]

Thanks. The A units are powered, and only one has sound. Much of the sound is overlayed from real engine sounds. Use a tripod on part of it, had held on another. This was just a quick production. Check out my other clip, its longer, and my website. The video I sell on my site is 73 minutes, half train action and half construction techniques, in high quality widescreen. Thanks for watching. Rich.

Nice video. I saw the actual locomotives when they were here in Meridian Mississippi, where I live, when they had the Railfest at the train depot, which I thouoght was cool Also, is your train an HO scale train, it looked like it to me.

[Toytrainsontracks]

Thanks. I'd like to know where these real engines are myself so I can video them. I'm close enough to Altoona PA where they get serviced, but don't know when they are there. To answer your question, these are O-scale or engines not HO. Rich.

[trainmangeorge]

Fantastic!!! Thanks for posting as I have been wanting to see these units in action.

[natezemanek]

Make that 2 Tom`s!! Great as always Rich! "Jerky"? Your stuff jerking is better than other peoples best" Tom Z. :)

[Toytrainsontracks]

Thanks Tom. For some reason, this video is jerky. I uploaded a higher resolution version, but it didn't get much better, so I'm keeping this one for now. My website has the same *.wmv file available, and it runs smooth without studdering. I put the F-7 under the post war diesel section on my site. I wasn't sure where to put it since its a "modern" "post war" diesel :)

Nicejob Rich.
