This is how model trains should be ran. Im not into all that making a timetable and you have to do this or that. Its too anally retentive and would get on my last damn nerve. I own em to play with em and have fun with em, not work. I love your vids Tom and hope you make many more!
I have some sad news for all O scale model railroaders and collectors. Guess what, I just looked at some rare videos of the C&O Allegheny steam engine and the tender is taller than any hopper car. Even the lower back part is as tall as a box car. So this means the MTH O scale Allegheny is not made to protoype specifications.
Except that the prototype Allegheny in the "rare videos" was probably not pulling "hi-top" hoppers that had their sides extended for additional (coke hauling) capacity, like the model in this video was.
Again, (posted before) a film so real-looking it looks like I'm really back in time watching genuine operations from a pace vehicle or a helicopter! How else could someone see an Allegheny or Triplex in action like this, even when they really worked the rails? How do you control the f'n camera?
@viper1976xxx Gese 7ya know I don't ... GO TO "MTH Trains" and click product locator, then search "Allegheny" ... I'm sure you'll see it there. If you can't: LET ME KNOW and I will find out OK ? :-)
Wow !! That's a sick video !! Man is that great all them cars... Hope my UP Big Boy 4-8-8-4 can pull like that... keep the video's coming... thanks....
This was such a pleasure to watch!! Someday I'll take you up on your offer and come over. I really enjoy watching those long trains rumble around the track!! Awesome as always!! Keep them coming!!
Nice video Tom! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. This video was really good! That engine is a pulling beast with all of those coal cars. Just like the prototype. Seeing one for real with your own eyes is amazing! The one I saw was in the B&O Railroad Museum. What kind of freight cars do you prefer? MTH, Lionel, Atlas? Thanks again!
That Allegheny is just plain SICk!!! And that whistle is just eerie sounding! I really want one like that some day! :-) I also loved all the NS and and CSX hoppers. Question: So you have all of the 100's & 100's of cars, How do you store them all? That's what I want to know! lol
Nice train is that proto sound 1 or 2?

*How many cars? : think about 76 or so ... *WHERE do I put all the cars?: in carts or in one of the many "holes" around the layout.
** Here in Mich. their is a REAL Prototype (of this Engine) in Henry ford Museum, "God it's BIG !"

It scared me seeing that Allegheny rounding those curves that fast! It's almost like a runaway train (minus the whistle). Nicely done Tom.

Weird- when I first clicked this video, it said it was private. Then I went back and clicked it again, and it played, saying it has 5 views.
