The locomotive is a HO scale PFM United Jupiter import from the Golden Spike Centennial set with new paint and decals. The gearbox is from NWSL which is driven by a Mashima motor. The sound comes from a TCS Wowsound decoder with Zimo sugarcube speaker. The speaker is the smallest they have but still have quite good sound.
The chuff synchronization on the earlier video I published was wrong and in this it is more in sync.

That's the best Interpretation of Schenectady blue and crimson I've seen, very close to the Caledonian Railway livery said to have inspired it. Gorgeous loco and scenery, pure class! The Jupiter replica at Promontory Point looks gaudy in comparison.

The sounds of the 4-4-0 locomotive do not match the prototype sounds of the real restored locomotives, at least from the audio track on this video. However, most people will not pick up the differences. The customizing paint and detail work on the 4-4-0 is very nice. You should offer pro-printed decal sheets of the Victorian scroll work and lettering so others can easily convert their 4-4-0’s and old passenger cars into special models. Just a sad note, the past model manufacturers of 1860 - 1880 American Style passenger cars are either out of business or decided to no longer to produce these models. Athearn has abandoned the Roundhouse line of old time cars. The tooling is either lost or not usable and they have no plans to reintroduce these models in the future. As conditions dictate, they will make only contemporary passenger car models. So Model Power, Mantua, MDC / Athearn Roundhouse, ConCor, Blackstone, IHC, etc. are all gone now leaving Bachmann has the only company still producing 1860-1880’s Era passenger cars. Note, their car body designs are basically from the 1960’s tooling and not accurate to scale.

What is that passenger car and where do I buy it from?

@hakannilsson4112 6 жыл бұрын

The passenger car is very altered Roundhouse Overland car. It has completely new livery using large decals printed on a Ink jet printer, waterproofed and then applied.

It's a brass engine which I bought on Ebay. It was imported by Pacific Fast Mail from Japan in the 1960s. It comes in a set of two engines. The first one Central Pacific No60 the Jupiter and the other one Union Pacific No119. It is the Jupiter to which I added sound.
