11.13.11 Welcome Back to the UP Layout for some RARE footage dawg!

[chasethatmonkey101]

what was the music in the background

[MonsterRailroad]

@chasethatmonkey101 The song is Trouble by Jay-Z

[chasethatmonkey101]

@MonsterRailroad thanks

[455amtrak]

you should buy a mth 4-6-6-4 challenger #3985 to run on your layout its UP it will be a great addition to your layout

[55trains]

Great to hear that you are doing well at the Academy, but you are missed. Hope to see you back on a regular basis. Any plans for another raffle this Christmas? Stay safe.

[Rtchugg]

Nice stuff! Nice to see a guy like you in the hobby!

[chevelle396guy]

Glad to see you back Al.

[Palanthon]

Keep at it Al! Best of luck in the last few weeks!

[rustyroo82]

hey big Al! good to see you're getting to use your layout again! you're an inspiration! if you're ever in Australia be sure to come visit.

[malcojojo]

Knock 'em out at the academy! Nice to see ya again. Cheers!

[adfgfds]

3:26 scared the living shit out of me! For a min there, I thought the line ended lol

[adfgfds]

Wow you joined the fire department? Thats awesome!! So you're training to become a fire fighter? Or a different job within the department?

[CPWindsorsub]

I lolled when you said haters are like herpes. Glad to have you back and can't wait to see the fiished project with the UP GP38-2. That engine looks like it's been sitting in some pretty bad neighborhoods lol.

[grandtetons2]

SWEET VID!!!!

[Tennesseecentral6902]

that steam enigne looks good on your layout... you should get a challenger or 844 steamer and have your own UP steam fleet. you wouldnt have to run them alot as the real UP doesnt run them much either

[trainlover479]

lol you should so get a steam locomotive, like UP 844? or 3985, any steamer is good :P

[tworail187]

hey! VINTANGE STEAM IN MODERN SETTING, appreciated!

lol thats the closest thing to rail watching a triplex unless someone joy rides the real thing out of a museum or somethin! sick!:)

[MrDraftpoint]

Hey Al, you should put some kids arms and torsos flailing out of the windows of that school bus perched on the edge of the cliff. LOL! The layout is looking great; keep up the good work!

[Chessie1977]

Al, glad to see the academy is going great for you. A job I know you've been wanting and one that benefits society. Thanks for the update! We have an ex SSW engine (gp50/60) that floats around here that has an unusual way the branding has been tagged out. I will try to snag a pic and send it your way, may be something you are interested in.

[glp13760]

Looking good Al! Thanks for sharing.

[Willowfs4472]

Good to see your layout again Al, hope its going well in the Academy all the best.. 

[twidget2000]

[IRONHORSE11M]

ah man. nice Erie locomotive. i love how i try to model one railroad but i have steam locos from like 4 other railroads.

[sabre7165]

[awsem1o1]

Hi, i am wondering about DCC, what is a test track and is it necessary?

also is it easy to program trains to run?

[moonwalker5058]

Great stuff man, congrats on the new job as well, sounds really sick! Great to see you back on youtube Al!

[charwill50]

Welcome back Al! Great to see the Steam!!! You are missing out! Good luck on your career!

[CornDogRandall]

I take my comment back. I see that you do have plexi glass there. Great video and glad to see you back!

[umytbnext]

Glad you're back dawg! Keep bustin it at the Academy, you'll be one of the best I'm sure. Can't wait to see more Monsta Vids SOON!  Be safe bro!

[CornDogRandall]

I have a quick suggestion for ya man! Im thinking about doing it around the edges of my layout so my locos and cars don't fall off the layout and onto the floor. Put some plexi glass where that curve is where the steam engine started out at on the video.

[UPRRfan]

Glad to see steam on the layout! I love steam engines haha

[disturbed1954]

Nice video and good luck with the fire department!

[TrashMan2008]

Great video AL! Good to see you back on the tube and I loved the rare footage! Keep the videos coming!

[Texaslobo]

Congrats on the job!

[00slippy]

your going REALLY fast for that type of locomotive!

[thomasandrocky]

From what i hear those MTH triplex's are MAD rare to find nowadays you'll probably see one on ebay every now and then and when you do they go for a pretty penny last one i saw went for like 1200 dollars with like 32 bids on it id say keep as a investment or not sell it.

[chooch11657]

Nice job AL,always good to see ya,best of luck at the acadamey. Your Overland units are sharp....would like to see that run!

[trainmaster365]

Hope the academy goes great for you. Miss the videos though

[tomnaro]

Thanks for trying. I'll have to blow the dust off my computer:) I don't know why they include a YouTube app on the I phone then block videos what a bunch of garbage but oh well.

[TomedysTrains]

ALRIGHT AL! Nice demonstration of the Erie Triplex even though they never served California and not one survives today. I'm sure your friend will love it. :)

[TheEriefan]

Great to see you had some time for a video Al! Hope all is going good at the academy! Pay attention to every detail there because it will save your life some day! If the instructors a tough it is only because they care. Take it from me I went through it all!!!

[Rdrake1413]

Nice video never seen a steam loco with drive wheels on the tender

[norfolksouthern8941]

WELCOME BACK BIG AL!!!!!! Good luck at the academy! Nice to have you back dawg! love the line about the the haters! lol

[Morningwithmattnjen]

Welcome back. Continued success at the academy. My Tahoe peeps are going to be stoked to see this vid. God Bless you and Gabriella!

[inboundnewt]

cool al's back



[masterownerlml]

That poor SD-40 in the background was derailed.

[MonsterRailroad]

@masterownerlml It was derailed in the first scene but re-railed in the second. I had removed ALL of my engines from the track one day to test out programming engines on the mainline and I did not want to program every engine on the main so I pushed them aside while I did that.

[masterownerlml]

@MonsterRailroad That's all right love your vids!

[tomnaro]

Can you enable iPhone play back so I can watch lol. Welcome back big al fireman

[MonsterRailroad]

@tomnaro I tried just after I read your comment but this Youtube is so wack that if I do not do that before I upload it, it will NOT allow me to change it now. What a crap!

[railroading29]

YO AL. good to see your back.....and good luck with the rest of the academy .....

[apples2095]

That's off the hook! cheers!

[Devi1DogCota]

[spacecalander]

Nice units, i wonder if that steam unit has the ability to smoke. Layout looks good.

[MonsterRailroad]

[Adamlovesmedal]

[MonsterRailroad]

@Adamlovesmedal Yeahhh, Too much for my interest. Now if it was a OMI SD70ACe then that would be different. LOL

[MonsterRailroad]

@488scooby  Thanks for noticing that, My eye literally stays to the street so I can recreate what I see in as much detail as I can.

[Railroadkid1937]

btw what was the name of the song at the start

[MonsterRailroad]

@Railroadkid1937 the song was called "Trouble" by Jay-Z

[Railroadkid1937]

Hey I didn't know you were into the whole transformers thing bro. i'm constantly selling old transformers from my collection. I think I have somewhere around 200 left. If you are willing to do some kind of a trade please let me know cause i'm actually tring to get rid of this stuff haha.

[MonsterRailroad]

@Railroadkid1937 Shit yeah! I love Transformers but having 200 left is a huge ass collection man. I have just like 20-25 for myself. My favorite one is Optimus Prime but I want it in the package at some point.

[Railroadkid1937]
