HO Scale Intermountain ES40DC / ES44DC Gevo - Review

[UP9390]

Actually it is prototypical on some NS engines due to electrician's wiring the ditch light flashers wrong.

[docbobdelaney]

OOOOH 86 FUCKING MINUTE LONG VIDEO THATS REAL HELPFUL FUCKFACE

[modeltrain9500]

@docbobdelaney

ah yes, of course. 'always some idiot who makes a fool of themselves, trying to make someone else look dumb. your 86 minute joke doesn't even make sense, its 24 minutes. 86 isn't even remotely close. You could have at least tried to make a decent joke out of it. I don't see how a long video would be less helpful either. What I'm thinking, is that something is wrong with you, and you need help. You let it out by hating on videos, but something is seriously wrong.

please get help

[GECP4256]

@docbobdelaney Atleast try to show SOME intelligence if you're going to try to sound smart. You're not funny or anything you really need help, kid.

[cdog77997]

yes but like off of a website and if so what site.

[cdog77997]

So I was wonder the name of the website or what ever that you bought your NS. Thanks

[modeltrain9500]

@cdog77997

the first one with sound was from Ulrich Models, which is located 10 miles from the factory, as mentioned in the video. I just bought another one, and that was off of ebay. These things sell out everywhere quick, so if you see one and want it, get it right there and then

[cdog77997]

ok thank you

[modeltrain9500]

@cdog77997

yup

[cdog77997]

What kind of sound decoders do you perfer and how do you get rid of dirty track?

[modeltrain9500]

@cdog77997

soundtraxx tsunami is definitely the best for sound, and just cleaning the track with an eraser usually works.

[TennesseeHOScalePass]

right after i saw this i went out and bought it like 10 minutes after

[modeltrain9500]

@TennesseeHOScalePass

haha, well I guess I helped you make a decision then. Hopefully for the better!

[sawman3333]

@NSBNSFsuperfan, you wasted your own life watching this! You don't have to watch something you don't like! A lot of people watched this and liked it! One of those people is me! I enjoyed this whole thing and a bunch of other people ! So lay off and go diss those Fred vids or those Bachman train reviews! Gosh!

[sawman3333]

@NSBNSFsuperfan, you are considered a hater and need to stop taking your jealousy out on other people that have better skill! I bet you haven't tried to do any modeling cause your to busy talking crap to other people!

[Rcnation101]

It just pees me off when people do not have videos and they hate!

[cameronB50]

yah and i don't see NSBNS superfans dope ass layout and locos. all he does is talk crap on you (modeltrain9500) monster railroad, and jlwii2000. he's just jealous that he isn't a good modeler. great vid

[modeltrain9500]

@cameronB50

somethings up with him, i dunno... his channel will probably get banned at some point.

Thanks for the support!

[Rcnation101]

Excuse me fluck you get a life and stop trollin u dip shit tagged- Bnsfsuper fan....... Great video enjoyed every second of it

[modeltrain9500]

@Rcnation101

haha, thanks!

[AMH9217]

OH! I wanted to say, great video! I enjoy your handy-work with creating these videos! Keep them coming!

[modeltrain9500]

@AMH9217

thanks!

[AMH9217]

I got the new BNSF one, check it out on my channel! These are great engines!

[modeltrain9500]

@AMH9217

i think i will get the BNSF too, i cant decide on H2 or H3 though ?

[tylerjohn65]

Oops southern4501

[tylerjohn65]

Yes but with snap track you have very limited corner radius with flex you can have larger corners therefor be abel to run more things such as bachmanns new schnabile with 64 wheels on the track or 89'9 flat cars and passenger trains. You do what you want southern40

[modeltrain9500]

@tylerjohn65

agreed, depends on the size and complexity of your layout. If youve got time and space, go with tylerjohn65, he knows what hes doing. If your just making a railroad for the heck of it, snap track is the way to go.

[southern4501isawesom]

@tylerjohn65 well im a steam guy so id need bigger curves to be realistic i think i will get flex track it seems easy to use..

[tylerjohn65]

Southern4501 atlas code 100 flex track is the best. I have a layout with 2 main lines over 85 ft. Each and both have atlas flex and peco switches.

[southern4501isawesom]

what is the best atlas track? because im trying to build a layout of my own now and i just dont know.

[modeltrain9500]

@southern4501isawesom

in my opinion, if you are experienced flex track is the best, code 83 looks best, but code 100 is easier to work with. If you are not very experienced i would use atlas code 83 snap track

[aocruiser]

Great video review! 

[mrblob112233]

NSBNSF SUPER FAN does not like any bodies videos do not let him bother you

[modeltrain9500]

@mrblob112233

yea i don't know what his problem is.. He didn't bother me though, i actually had fun trying to figure out what happened to him. I have since blocked him though because his choice of words and insults were not appropriate for the entire audience here to see, there are many younger people into this hobby, so i do not think its appropriate to allow those sort of things.

[AMH9217]

@mrblob112233 He is an ass whole... Its dumb right?

[modeltrain9500]

@AMH9217

indeed, he has been blocked

[NSBNSFsuperfan]

you spent the first 2 minutes getting it out of the box and blabbering about your knife, etc. you then wasted more of my life throughout the video repeating yourself and talking about details you dont even have the words for....YOUR VIDS SUCK AND YOU WASTE PEOPLES TIME! And you dont need to describe the box to us, we have f ing eyes!

[AMH9217]

@NSBNSFsuperfan (modetrain9500, excuse my language, I need to prove a point) ....NSBNSFsuperfan? ...For starts, what kind of a YouTube name is that? Pathetic if you ask me... And you block your YouTube account? One word for that, CHICKEN. Anyway, let me be REAL black and white with you, you are acting like a 2 yr old. ...and I know 2 yr old's who are more mature then you. Stop acting like a dick wad, and go find something better to do? Knock it off before I knock YOU out. Get it?...

[Rcnation101]

@NSBNSFsuperfan excuse me modeltrain9500 i can not get over this kid listen nsbnsfsuper shit your bitch ass cant get enough of hating so you go burn in hell you dip shit you you aint got no time or room to talk with all those total uploads so. And people like you tht just pist me off so freakin much you were probily trh cause of alexander frye so delete your channal ass!

[cta4453]

Next time, please skip the first minute and 50 seconds so we can actually see the model, alright?

[modeltrain9500]

@cta4453

theres a slider to skip the parts you don't like.

[AppyModeler]

Awesome!!! I recieved my NS ES40DC 7515 with sound last friday...Im going to do a review sometime too...There has to be some way we can program the ditch lights to alternate. i agree...AWESOME MODEL!!!!

[jkuz47]

Thanks for posting your unboxing and review. Love seeing the GEVO running around your layout. Can't wait for my order from Ulrich to arrive this Friday.

[Rarawer]

my favorite models are from Kato ! But of course I'm extremely excited about my Intermountain ES44AC SF

[modeltrain9500]

@Rarawer

kato has great running stuff, and i don't want to get into a toy train debate, i have several katos myself and they are great! Although i have never felt that the paint was as accurate color wise, as it could be

[RichmanJ93]

The ditchlight flashing is a big screw up

[jlwii2000]

Looks good, very thorough. I'll have mine up Thursday night. I've been lazy and haven't gotten down to the basement.

[modeltrain9500]

@jlwii2000

thanks, im looking forward to it!

[Rarawer]

nice review man ! I have ordered a ES44AC Santa fe, I don`t when the Model comes ! But after your review, I hope FAST ! Cool man

[modeltrain9500]

@Rarawer

Cool! These things really are great with the modifications they made. My #1 Fav manufacturer right now. Im gonna get a conrail and a BNSF when the new AC models come out

[spartanscenery]

Amazing details, looks great!!

[modeltrain9500]

@spartanscenery

thanks!

[AIRSOFTTANK1]

looks sweet with grain cars!

[modeltrain9500]

@AIRSOFTTANK1

thanks!

[AIRSOFTTANK1]

this will look perfect with my blma top gons and ill have to fix the ditch lights crap ill figur it out

[modeltrain9500]

@AIRSOFTTANK1

the ditch lights being offset was fixed as soon i was done recording, i just pushed them back into place. no problem. I will have a follow up video sometime soon

[AIRSOFTTANK1]

Mine sould be in this week and I'll pick it up on sat. look for it next week in my vids or the week after

[modeltrain9500]

@AIRSOFTTANK1

will do, send me an email when you've got it up so i don't forget

[NSBNSFsuperfan]

that review was entirely too LONG and entirely too BORING. Choosing which type of track it runs on? really? wtf come on! showing a map of urlich models to your house on the globe? no wonder your page doesnt get much attention! you suck at reviews! short and simple idiot!

[modeltrain9500]

@NSBNSFsuperfan

ah yes, of course. LET THIS SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE OF HATERS.i can see you've got some issues, and i respect that. You didn't have to watch the whole thing. The point of the review was to give everyone a full review, they take from it what they want. I checked out your channel, unlike you, with 0 subscribers, i don't make an obsession of trying to be or figure out the best model railroader. I realize you have problems, and I'm sorry, i wish i could help.

Best of luck to you.

[spartanscenery]

@modeltrain9500 love it, your videos, and this comment are great

[modeltrain9500]

@spartanscenery

thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. I checked out your page, its pretty nice!

[spartanscenery]

@modeltrain9500 Thanks!

[spartanscenery]

@NSBNSFsuperfan and your invisible reviews are great too

[modeltrain9500]

@spartanscenery

my invisible reviews?

[spartanscenery]

@modeltrain9500 No, the special person who called your video boring

[modeltrain9500]

@spartanscenery

ah yes, i will be mentioning him in my next video, you can be sure of that .. lol

[spartanscenery]

@modeltrain9500 haha! awesome!

[modeltrain9500]

@MrSmartpie

Congratulations, 10% off next train purchase from me, should you so desire

[Rcnation101]

Thy for unboxing

[modeltrain9500]

@Rcnation101

no problem, thanks for watching

[d3lp0rto]

Nice, If you don't like the weight isn't there some room you could use to put more weight perhaps?

[modeltrain9500]

@d3lp0rto

most likely yes, but i don't plan to. I would like the weight to be greater, but i have had no performance issues with its current weight.

[frontierfan]

Those are air tanks and GPS antena domes on top

[modeltrain9500]

@frontierfan

i see, thank you for that information

[tyiscool777]

@frontierfan actually they are air conditioners .

[bucksnorthern]

Very nice man! Quick question, how'd you do the globe thing in the beginning? That was awesome!

[modeltrain9500]

@bucksnorthern

it is one of the features with iMovie

[MMODoubter]

@modeltrain9500 That WAS cool. I was expecting to see Indy step off a plane at the end.

[bucksnorthern]

@modeltrain9500 Oh ok, sweet. Now if only they had that for WMM...

[allaboard321]

Nice video and these locomotive look and sound amazing. You beat to making a review video. I just got my CSX one today and the video of it is in editing

[modeltrain9500]

@allaboard321

haha I've been preparing this video for weeks now, all i needed was the actual locomotive. good luck with your video, ill be looking for it!

[upmodeler92]

Nice new GEVO

[modeltrain9500]

@upmodeler92

thanks, i have a new rule for myself, NO WEATHERING THE GEVOS. i messed up my AC model by weathering and then trying to unweather... so I'm not messing with it anymore

[upmodeler92]

@modeltrain9500 I usually wait till the new rubs off then i weather my locomotives.

[bigB6flyer]

Nice video, nice review. Hey what happens if you try to reprogram the ditch lights for flashing/non-flashing?

[modeltrain9500]

@bigB6flyer

I imagine they would not flash when the horn was sounded. I will have a follow-up video soon about some after thoughts and things i missed in this video. thanks for watching
