MTH Premier NYC Mohawk Lb4 4-8-2 & Pacemaker Freight

[Bigtitan56PA]

wow, how do you edit in the music. ive been wanting to add in some tunes and some writing like you have done. a program? thanks

[puttrainguy]

@Bigtitan56PA Thank you for the very kind comments. I actually use Windows Live Movie Maker to do my videos. I know there are a lot of different programs out there, but WMM is pretty simple, user friendly and has some cool special effects. Adding the music is easy, Having YouTube approve it can sometimes be a challenge...

[CaptainDynamite110]

Is this the pacemaker set they have? And is that the whistle on it? That's a real neat sounding one, sounds like a NYC 5 chime lol

[puttrainguy]

@CaptainDynamite110 Thanks Cap... The Engine, 5 box cars & 1 caboose were the set MTH released... The rest is add ons of other Pacemakers cars I had to make it a tad longer... I need to update the firmware in my TIU & remote so I can use the quilable whistle...

[EndlessFilmLimited]

Amazing layout, beautiful engine, with a wonderful musical back drop. Good standards on all your videos, I'll give you a free subscription mate. ;)

How many primary lines do you have (As in, lines you can just let your engines go on, and not have to worry about a collision?)?

[puttrainguy]

@EndlessFilmLimited Thanks for the great compliment... I have 3 seperate loops that i can run on, although with the digital control I can runs numerous trains on 1 track if I wanted to.

[PRRK4Lover]

Great looking engine Dan! it looks right at home on your layout!

[puttrainguy]

@PRRK4Lover Thank you Jared, really appreciate the kind comment.

[puttrainguy]

@drmagricola Thank you very much, glad you stopped by to watch !!!

[trainfart]

Fabulous scenery and a fantastic video!! I like this wunderful music! =)

[puttrainguy]

@trainfart Thank you man... not nearly as crisp and clean as your video's, but it was fun... Really glad you enjoyed it....

[subwayfx]

Dan,

What a great combination of NY Central power and NY music! Perfect! I haven't been online much lately so I haven't seen your layout in awhile. It just keeps getting better and better ~ museum quality all the way. Great job, Bronx brother!!!

Frankie

[puttrainguy]

@subwayfx Frank, I just knew you would love this as much as I do !!! And you are always way too kind my friend... I thank you very much my Bronx Brother !!! This Mohawk is just incredible, video's and pictures do it absolutely no justice... More to come soon...

[PghTrainFanatic]

Very nice new steamer!!!  I loved the run-by's! Congrats!

[puttrainguy]

@PghTrainFanatic Thank you for the kind comment & compliment Nick... Glad you enjoyed it.

[puttrainguy]

@tryanpanther That's very kind of you man, really appreciate it. The song just " felt " right for what I wanted to shoot...Going to try and work on something to do justice to the detail of this gorgeous steamer soon... Glad you enjoyed both the tunes and the clip, that's what makes the efforts worth it.

[skeley1]

Awesome video and some blockhead gives the good O'l cowardly dislike rating. Men will be men, boys will be boys and then there are Men who conduct themselfs as boys.

Sorry Dan, but it looks like you have been inducted into the "Uno Dislike Club".

Welcome to the club, I'll bring the coffee for the next meeting. :)

[puttrainguy]

@skeley1 The trolls slink out from under their bridges now and then, then slink back Mike.... I pay no mind to it anymore. Would be nice if they had to put their face to it though huh ? You'd see a lot less of them for sure. Thanks for the mug of Java too !!!

[TommyZTrains]

Sure PROUD to have you here Dan ! "I really enjoyed this clip"... Nice song, beautiful trains, and a well rounded GREAT GUY ! Take care: Tom : - )

[puttrainguy]

@TommyZTrains I'm proud to be hear Tommy and p[roud to know folks like yourself. Thank you for the very kind comments... Comming from you, they are huge !!! Great speaking with you also man...

[dep92]

Doc, you are in my opinion, one of only a few that can ballest 3 rail and make it look awesome! I'm an HO guy but got my start with a Lionel set and you make me miss that old starter set! LOL Thank you for another great vid!

[puttrainguy]

@dep92 Thanks very much man, That's beyond kind of you to say.... Really glad you enjoyed this little runby... Was fun to put together...

I oops this morning and posted my reply as a comment in error, sorry man... 1300 hrs, is morning to me... lol...

[LionelTrainsMan]

Nice video Dan, very calming song. Congrats on the new engine! Sweet. Also, it's nice to see you and Rob are back to just running trains, layout updates and having fun! Take care

[puttrainguy]

@LionelTrainsMan Thanks very much for the kind comment. It is good to be back to making my own vid's again...

[nitromarc96]

simply awesome Dan. Now I'm in a NY state of mind.........

[puttrainguy]

@nitromarc96 Thank you kindly Marc, If you're in a NY State of Mind, then I did my job... lol....

[Southerntreatment]

cant beat New York State of Mind with a NYC Niagra! awesome Dan! i keep trying to call you but my school schedule is keeping me busy and the time that i get home its impossible at times! Ill try my hardest to call asap. What a great rolling stock collection with it dude! the whistle is magnificant! Hey the Shea Stadium concert is on DVD now! LOL God Bless brotha!

[puttrainguy]

@Southerntreatment You're very kind Joe, thanks man. Really appreciate the compliments. Don't sweat the small stuff man, we're all way too busy and life's too short.. We'll hook up soon.. no worries... I'll check out the Shea gig for sure... The video does not justice at all to the level of detail on this loco, will maybe throw together a little clip of stills to show it off more... who knows... Be Well & Be Safe bud...

[chiconian49]

Quite the workhorse!

[puttrainguy]

@chiconian49 Thanks Chuck, it really is a workhorse & a racehorse too....

[RDMHobbies]

Great video..... love Billy Joel

[puttrainguy]

@RDMHobbies Thanks Rich & Rich.... Glad you enjoyed the clip... About as NY as you can get....

[skeley1]

Great video Dan!! Of course as you know I'm very partial to NYC especially units made by MTH :). Layout is looking awesome as well.

Oh great song too!

[puttrainguy]

@skeley1 It's good to hear from you Mike... Glad you enjoyed the vid... Was fun putting it together to the tunes.... I just thought the song had the perfect New York feel to fit the new train. It really is a monster of a steamer, I still stare at it myself when I walk by it... lol... Thanks for the kudos on the layout... I'm always cramming something else in somewhere.... Be Safe out there man...

[rayman4449]

Great video Dan :) Really like the new whistle too, gonna need to check that out!

[puttrainguy]

@rayman4449 Thank you very much Ray... And thanks for all your help, you have a great wealth on DCS knowledge... As previously noted, this does have a different whistle than the same loco produced last year. This is supposedly all new tooling for the 2010 catalog too. I'm used to a deeper tone whistle, but I think once I get to tweak it with the quilling, it will grow on me more. I like the PFA sequence in this one too, it's pretty funny.. Will have to film it one day. Be Well man !!!

[rayman4449]

@puttrainguy Thank you very much too Dan. Thank you for the info too. I look forward to hearing the PFA sequence if you record it >; ) You too my friend! Keep the videos coming!

[Railroadtrip445]

Hey Dan Great Video and That can't be the L4b because the L4b has a deeper whistle, watch Eric's Video on the Mohawk

[puttrainguy]

@Railroadtrip445 Thanks for the kind comment Matt. As far as what sub class the Mohawk is, it is most certainly the lb-4. The cistern on the caboose that allowed it to hit the water pan at 75 mph and not blow apart the tender is a giveaway. And only the l3-c & l4-b came with the elephant ears. The l4-b had larger 72' drivers also. The whistle is different from Eric's & I have seen his vid before, that is one reason I did not do a full review, but rather showed it in my own way.

[puttrainguy]

@puttrainguy **** ment to say "The cistern on the back of the tender " not caboose... still early for me.... lol...

[aocruiser]

Dan, That was a excellent video my friend and I was in need of some of your good medicine! That Mohawk is a wonderful addition and the consist was perfect! Keep the videos coming and screw the person that disliked this awesome video!

[puttrainguy]

@aocruiser Thanks for the kind comment AO... The Doctor is still here... and more to come soon... Glad you enjoyed this. It was a tough choice weather to go with the AAR Pacemakers or the '40 steel sided reefers, but being I had several other Pacemakers, it was a no brainer to make up the nice long consist... Both cabooses are MTH Premiers, yet vastly different, that's why I ran both. As far as the haters go, they will always be lurking out from under their bridges...

[Bassfanatic94]

Wow amazing video and amazing locomotive Dan! I am so jealous of you now! LOL That is one sweet looking set. And the whistle on that mohawk is awesome! Congrats on getting it for the Black Rose and I also liked the music you put with the video. Everything came together really well. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

[puttrainguy]

@Bassfanatic94 You're very kind Mike, thank you man.... It really is a fabulous set... I'm a bit torn on the whistle to be honest, but it'll grow on me. Once I upgrade the software on my TIU I'll be able to play with the quilable whistle feature... It's doesn't get much more New York than this, huh ?

[Bassfanatic94]

@puttrainguy You bet Dan! The NYC in my opinion had some of the very best steamers in the U.S. during its heyday. I bet you will love the quillable whistle feature. MTH has improved some what in the last year or two. Thanks again for sharing! Stay safe out there!

[puttrainguy]

@Bassfanatic94 I almost picked up a NOS MTH Niagra as well, but being they are from 2000, even being new in box, I was still holding out in hopes of a newer version... We'll see... Thanks again man, and you stay safe out there too...

[skeley1]

@puttrainguy I have the Niagra, it is an awesome engine. If you are waiting for a newer release, unless the retool the casting which I doubt, the only difference will be from PS2-PS3. For the very few differences between the PS's 2-3, I really don't think it will be worth forking out all that extra cash for one.

[puttrainguy]

@skeley1 I was kind of hoping for a retool with a tad more detailing, but I still have an in on one of the 2000's for a real steal if I decide to go that way. I know it's a sweet as is, and it would really add to my NYC steam collection. The Niagra, Mohawk & Hudson all running together... LOL... One Day... I was looking at the new 4-4-0 Empire State Express with the PS3, but I'm going to wait on that one for a little bit... Thanks again bud....

[svinehunden]

great video!! and good music!!

personally i like the version by Nas better but a great song ;)))

thanks for posting

[puttrainguy]

@svinehunden Thanks Kas... Really a special vid for me... and a special Loco... The tunes just seemed perfect for the mood I wanted to set.... Glad you enjoyed it my friend !!!!

[adtrains75]

looks good!

[puttrainguy]

@adtrains75 Thanks for taking the time to watch Andy, Glad you enjoyed it....

[Broncort1]

Glad to see everything turned out fine! The new engine and its awesome consist is excellent, the layout is amazing as always! Thanks for sharing.

[puttrainguy]

@Broncort1 Thanks Bob, just needed a few factory resets... Glad it was just a glitch... The set was worth the money in my opinion... Thanks for the kudo's on the layout, still have some plans for yet ore additions...

[MthRailFanatic]

Vey Nice Engine!

[puttrainguy]

@MthRailFanatic Thanks man, really appreciate it...

[MthRailFanatic]

@puttrainguy No Problem. I Just Wish More Poeople Would Comment On Mine. :(

[Railfan108]

theres alwasy that 1 asshole that dislikes the video, but this video is kickass, i love your layout dude, so crowded just like real life and that engine sounds amazing and the song fits in so well, it just sorta brings me back to the times that there were steems, its just that sorta music, great choice, loved it dude

[puttrainguy]

@Railfan108 Thank you very much Thomas, and you're are right, there is always at least one jealous puke out there, probably has a buddy or too also, but I am done sweating the drama shit. I'm happy you enjoyed the clip and my little empire. It is busy, but I think it all blends and works... And our layouts speak a lot about ourselves... I thought the song was a perfect fit for this train, and trying to get the action to fit the song was no easy task.... but worth it... Thanks again for tuning.

[lionel153]

Theirs nothing better than the good old new york central ,the greatest railroad their ever was . Great loco and nice lionel magnetic crane .

[puttrainguy]

@lionel153 NYC is my home town fallen flag... makes up most of my collection... Glad you enjoyed the running of the new Loco and noticed the newest layout addition of the Post War 182. I did a complete rebuild of it over the summer, always wanted one. I'll show it in action on an upcoming vid...Thanks very much for the kind comment

[skee55]

Nice, Doc, really nice! Good to see you back, the layout looks great! That Mohawk is ecellent! Really enjoyed the vid, keep up the great work!

[puttrainguy]

@skee55 Thank you very much Tony... Thanks also for the welcome back... Was debating weather or not to pack it all in to be honest, but decided to do some spring cleaning and give it another chance... I've done a little work to the layout, but still fighting with my lighting during filming... lol... Glad you enjoyed my new pride and joy... She is a Beaut !!!

[teddybeareleventeen]

Hi Dan!! GOOD STUFF Mate!! Glad to see you've got another video up!! Nothing like getting some new power on the layout and having a good blast around the tracks!! Good for the soul!! Cool tunes too, I don't mind the old Billy Joel!! Thumbs UP and into the faves it goes!! I've got some stuff coming in the post I bought thru ebay and when it arrives I'll shoot another layout update. I thoroughly enjoyed this vid mate, can't wait to see more! Has Doc got a webcam yet? =D

[puttrainguy]

@teddybeareleventeen You're too kind Mate... thank you Stew... Glad you enjoyed this... I know it's been a while... The loco is nothing short of gorgeous... I went so far as to get a special display case for it with an etching on the back of the Plexiglas top... Really does it justice, just hard to photograph. Looking forward to see what goodies you scooped up.. and a visit from Fuzzbutt maybe... lol.. I'll work on that web cam... Works has me brain-dead lately. Be Well man
