4449 and 844 doubleheader modeled in HO scale with excursion cars 4449 on the point

In 2007 the Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 and The Union Pacific 844 steam engines paired up for a rare doubleheader trip. You can see video of the actual train here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAjl8mlGZHw I have modeled this in HO scale with a runby. The daylight 4449 is a beauty built in HO scale by MTH. They did a superb job. The 844 is by Athearn Genesis and also is a great engine. I hope you enjoy. Also stay tuned..I have an SD70ACe no kidding on it's way to me. I will be doing a review on it as soon as I figure out the pro's and cons.

hey nice video. i'm hopefully starting my own layout soon, can you give my any tips?

[jlwii2000]

@PDExplorer193 My most important tips to you would be DONT use EZ track and make sure the table you use is even and flat. It was a huge hassle when I had a table that dipped in the middle. Good luck man!

[jlwii2000]

yes I actually have a tracking number and all. There are only 150 nationwide currently released

what brand is that Auxiliary tender>?

[ThomasRivette]

Do you have videos of 844 on the point?

[LoneSniperSG]

Man, the white rims are driving me crazy. I know that's how SP did it back in the day, but nowadays, she has flat black wheels.

Maybe I'm just too picky when it comes to the 4449
