UP 1989 (DRGW (Rio Grande) Heritage Unit) Tribute

[cpufreak101]

what game is at 4:02?

[amtrak60]

Chris Sawyer's Locomotion, with an add-on pack from AMI Trains. There are a lot of trains in that pack, so the heritage is but one.

[CSX2665]

UP 1989 is 1 of the best looking 1's

[CSX2665]

long black train would've been better for the song

[amtrak60]

No it wouldn't. Where is 1989 black? (minus the mountains on his side). Why would that fit? None of these trains are prototypically "long" or "black" so why bother. Not correct, there are better fits than that.

[CSX2665]

@amtrak60 it was just a thought,dont gotta b so hard on my ass

[amtrak60]

Sorry about the harsh reply, I was really frustrated installing TS12... I do agree that Long Black Train is a good song for a train video, just not this particular one...

[CSX2665]

@amtrak60 o well no matter but yea i just realized that the song does fit because of the "mountains" & wat is "TS12"??????

[BUICK925]

great vid but why this song?

[amtrak60]

It fits the engine (mountains on it's side).

[USMatman100]

may she live on.

[amtrak60]

It wil unitl 2015 now, or hopefully longer.

[julienjjj]

@amtrak60 yes hopefully, since we already lost the mkt one (took fire a few month ago)

[southern4501isawesom]

@julienjjj really the katy unit is gone!?

[amtrak60]

no, when it burned about a year ago there were rumors...

[USMatman100]

its a real nice engine.

[amtrak60]

Yes, yes it is.

[robloxiantrainmaker]

I have #1989 for O scale its epic and HO but not N scale sadly

[amtrak60]

Alright, well thanks for watching the video. I don't like HO all that much (we N Scalers call it "Horribly Oversized" :P it's a joke...).

[metallicafan3113]

@amtrak60 id hate to see what you call g gauge lol

[amtrak60]

Actually, I own a fair amount of G. I like it. The HO Thing is an N Scaler's Joke.

[KingofTomedy]

I have the MTH HO model of this locomotive. I love it!

[amtrak60]

I have the Kato N Scale model of this locomotive (Seen in video). I love it too!

[BNSFandSP]

That's good, I'd hate for the heritage units to dissapear and I don't see them.

[amtrak60]

Yeah, you're not kidding.

[SP3751]

that bridge is killer! so is the video. very nice rio grande.

[amtrak60]

I'll take it the black arch bridge. Thanks!

[joshmeister4449]

do know they are all getting repainted next year...

[amtrak60]

Into heritage units again?

[joshmeister4449]

no, in july 2010, the contracts for those railroads, expire, the only reason they pantined them this was was because the contracts are still active, ones they are up, they will be re numbered, and repainted back into the flag paint

[amtrak60]

These guys are jerks. Why not keep them the way they are, and keep us happy?

[joshmeister4449]

thats just Dip Shit Express aka UP for ya

[BNSFandSP]

Screw that, I like the heritage units just the way they are!

[amtrak60]

Yeah really, though the date has been pushed back to 2015 or something now.

[RailsandRoads]

@amtrak60 yeah, so far its 2015!

I have yet to see all of them!

i have only seen 1995, 1996, 1982, and 1983 in person!

oh, also in 2015, the Blues Brothers will get repainted also

[amtrak60]

Lucky, I've seen a whole 0. I would hate for 2001 & 2002 to be repainted. 3300, what ever happened to it. 3593 I know was scrapped or something in 1995, it is retired now, I know. Any news on 2010? If It'll be scrapped, or what. Well, 2015 is a long way away, so hopefully we can still see them for a while now.

[makblack20]

Personly i dont like hannah montana but it fits really well with the vid and i noticed that most of the msts and trainz is on some type of grade soo it fits really well =]

[amtrak60]

Well, not all of the games, some of the routes don't have too many grades in them, don't forget there is some real footage mixed in there too.

[makblack20]

yea i always like the real footage i love ur layout. i do a o scale mountian 3 years after i started from scratch and nowhere close to bein done but lovin every second i can be up there now im waiting for my o scale amfleet cars there is also a rumor about northeast regional cars heard about it? well ttyl

[amtrak60]

Nope, haven't heard a thing about Amfleets. Glad you've been liking you're project.

[C60AC]

Cool! I love this unit. It's my 3rd favorite behind 1983 and 1996. I also have the Kato model and it does look and run great. I get 1996 tomorrow and 1995 and 1983 next month. I found one flaw with the 1995 on Kato's website though. On your model; is the hand railing behind the conductor's side of the cab yellow where the green stripe is? Because on the real 1995, the hand rail changes from yellow to green to blend with the green stripe behind it.

[amtrak60]

I have had 1995 & 1996 for a month now. 1989 since June. 1996 looks amazing! 1995 looks great too! Just wait until you get them, in fact, I have a video of 1996 that I will upload in the next few minutes, well, one clip of it has 1996 in it, pulling a 41 car freight with UP SD70ACe 8444. I'll look today for the hand rail error. It's at my club, for our big show. I think all the rails are yellow though, I'll check. thanks for the comment!

[anskaru89]

The N scale model looks great!. It´s sad to know that a roadname is now a fallen flag, but good to remember that like this locomotive do.

[amtrak60]

LONG LIVE THE RIO GRANDE! Thanks! It does look & run great.

[bnsfup1]

NICE!!! Love UP 1989

[amtrak60]

Thanks! I just got 1995 & 1996 yesterday!

[mjet401bnsf]

no offense why miley

[amtrak60]

The song fits the engine, it's got mountains on the side of it, spends most of it's time in CO, & The Rio Grande only rolled in coloroado, so the unit stays there, for the most part.

[pjtesar101]

nice

5/5

[amtrak60]

Thanks!

[pjtesar101]

[pbyolo56]

[amtrak60]

Thanks!

[PlanBSkater3191]

Very Nice!

5*s

[amtrak60]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[csxcw44ac]

thanks for doing this.

[amtrak60]

SPAM! You're welcome, but I've wanted to do this for a long time! No problem, do you have your's yet?

[csxcw44ac]

Yes I have mine. I got UP #8520

i'll make a response to yours soon.

[amtrak60]

Cool!

[fghdkjds81]

great video, the climb adds a great feel to the tribute. Long live the heritage units!!!!

[amtrak60]

Thanks! I used it to fit the engine, but your explination works too. Thanks!

[LocalRailfan]

Hey,

Are those the new Kato locomotives. If not they have that locomotive in N-scale now.

Ryan

[amtrak60]

Yes, the SD70ACe is the new loco from Kato. It runs great! (well, once I overhauled it) Funny, it stopped right in the middle of the shot in the broken scene.

[trainboy32]

awesome video

[amtrak60]

Thanks!

[87STEELE]

Awesome footage, man. I hate buying Kato locomotives, though. I love their features and schemes, but none come DCC equipped, and there's another $30 out the window. Anyway, 5* and a channel post.

[amtrak60]

I may equip some of them later, but not now. The Katos run great, and they pull well. My atlas locos run great too. Thanks!

[ballparkfrank10]

awesome!!!! this is my favorite heritage and i already have the DRGW and a UP unit in n scale and i will be getting all of the heritages

[amtrak60]

I'm NOT ALONE! You're getting all of these units too. Cool!

[ballparkfrank10]

hell yea!!!! lol. CNW and SP are supposed to come out in july/august!!!!! i think thats with the other ones also

[amtrak60]

Those 2 are my absolute favorites, with this unit as 3rd. The others are scheduled for August, September.

[ballparkfrank10]

yeah thanks, i wasnt sure. my favorites are this one first, 1995 next, then mopac, then SP, and the rest it doesnt matter

[amtrak60]

For me: 1996, 1995, 1989, 1983, 1982, 1988. That's it! (Nothing wrong with the MKT, but it's, er, plain, compared to the rest, still, it's a nice paint job).

[ballparkfrank10]

nice!!!!

[amtrak60]

Thanks!

[amtrak60]

Did you get 1996 & 1995 yet? Kato shipped them.

[ballparkfrank10]

yeah i know. i havent yet though. i will

[amtrak60]

Mine should be here by monday.

[ballparkfrank10]

ok cool nice

[nolsknows1]

1995 looks okay but 1996 looks amazing

[amtrak60]

I can't wait for them to get here tomorrow!

[nolsknows1]

I got a vid up on my account with SP 1996 since I'm still waiting on 1995

[amtrak60]

1996 does look amazing. 1995 looks great too! I got them both today at around 3 PM, (Eastern Time). I'm still running them at 8! (ET).

[csxcw44ac]

No Union Pacific

[amtrak60]

Huh? It makes no sense with the replied comment, just to say. BTW: 1996, 1995, & 8444 Shipped today! I'm so excited!

[Driverman2008]

I love the Union Pacific Heritage SD70ACEs.:) It's too bad that BNSF, CSX, and Norfolk Southern haven't done the same yet.:(

[amtrak60]

NS thought about it, but I'm not sure how far they've gotten with it, BNSF, I doubt they'll ever do it, CSX, maybe, not sure. Thanks for the comment!

[ns3010]

Miley Cyrus? HAHA! Nice!

[amtrak60]

It fits the engine! It's got mountains on it's side.

[ns3010]

Very true.

[amtrak60]

Thanks for the comments!
