We are glad the box arrived in good condition! And of course we are watching, we have your channel on top notifications! Glad you enjoyed what we sent, I caught the livestream with the Hershey update and I gotta say, it’s looking awesome! Thanks for opening on camera 😁

Awesome! The Piko engine is a DR Class 130, made for use in East Germany.

Can't believe that someone gave you a GG-1 and you didn't even take it out of the box!

Fun fact. I live about 20 minutes from where the Penn Line factory was. It started in a row home in Boyertown Pa. To advertise the little switcher diesels they bent a rail to the correct radius for the outside rail and ran them around a half dollar [ a type of us coin] for the inside rail. Always wanted to try it. Have not done so yet.

That Penn Central loco is an alco 415, the first of the alco centuries.

Thank you Barnhart family!

😮the tank engine pulling the chuff car was excellent 😊👍

Harrison its been amazing how ya have brought so much joy to people in the hobby. Keep up the great work. Making people happy. I really hafta say to the Barnhart Family ,yall that was a great gift. Its amazing how in this day and world simple things bring soooo much joy. Yall have a great day and enjoy the hobby.

Damn! I missed another live stream!!! Although this time, it was for a noble deed. My wife and I took dinner to her sister and her husband. She (the sister) is recovering from breast cancer surgery. So at least I don't feel TOO bad I missed this live.

Hello Harrison as always a treat to watch when goodies of trains you receive. As a loyal viewer The small yard steam switcher by Life Like A.T.S.F. was my very first Trainset in 1973! I am truly impressed with it i am trying to replace that engine ever since i have had 3 of them 1 in A.H.M.. Speaking of A.H.M. The PENN CENTRAL center cab engine i would have thought it was an RS1 locomotive, the cab is almost centered not an RS engine line. It was great to watch it as a runner! Last the dual cab engine think of it as a mysterious Pennsylvania Railroad diesel no one knew about 🤣🤣 Always inspiring & this viewer Thanking You! 👍👏 👏

My father got a Br-130 when he was about 8 or 10 in 1978, he lived in Europe, his prized HO possessions were a BR-86 and a BR-130, I still run them to this day almost 50 years later, the br-86 could use some parts because it’s a little broken but otherwise they are great runners! Good to see that they can still be found in North America!

Wunderbar, Harrison, now you have a Piko Deutsche Reichsbahn locomotive in the collection. Looks like the German version of a GG1. The Penn Central center cab switcher is very nice. The B&O chuffing boxcar is a cool addition as well. Nice to see other subscribers getting into the giving spirit and adding to your collection. Auf wiedersehen. Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

The Penn Central switcher is an Alco, I think the designation is a c415 good luck with any new projects, and continued success with the Hershey's factory.

The Penn Central locomotive is an ALCo C415, which Penn Central never owned any, however a mix of roughly 8-10 other railroads did. It was a last ditch effort (built less than 5 years from ALCo's collapse) for a market that didn't exist (road switchers - most railroads were rebuilding or buying new power from GE and EMD). There was a grand total of 28 built (with 3 different heights of cabs - the AHM model depicts the tallest version) and I'm going to say that roughly 10-12 exist to date. I have one decorated for the SP, they're decent runners with a little bit of TLC, which I'm sure you'll be giving it some with due time. They don't pull too much but just enough to look fine by themselves or in a group (I've seen 3 in a lashup at most).

A tank car full of liquid chocolate. Excellent.

The unboxing paper is so satisfying it sound like when you open up a subway sandwich

I got here as soon as it came out! Hello SMT!

I just enjoy watching your videos when you work on things your mail calls and that box car that was pretty sweet stay safe and have a good day

Wow! That's an awesome haul! Nice video SMT.

The big red diesel is a EAST GERMAN locomotive built in RUSSIA

That PIKO BR130 is an East German model of a locomotive as it was in service with the DR (Deutsche Reichbahn) in the 1970s until the end of the DR after German reunification. The model looks to be about 1970s vintage. The actual prototype was made in Soviet Russia. It is often called a "Russian Locomotive" but is most commonly known as a "Ludmilla". It is in widespread use through out the Soviet Union and Warsaw pack countries, mainly because it is diesel powered. After WW2 the Soviets confiscated electrified rail from the East Germans (under the guise of war preparations) as well as other countries so that they could create a captive market for Soviet petroleum fuel products. The Ludmilla is considered very powerful, tough and reliable and despite its age, it is still in widespread use throughout Eastern Europe as well as Germany. If you visited Germany today you might see it in service with many private companies as well as with the modern Deutschebahn (German Railway) where it is used to pull heavy freight. It is also a very economical to run as many have had modernization refits given its platforms flexibility to accept modern technology.

I got this from an Amtrak infomercial. At Amtrak we know the future of the Northeast Corridor depends on the investments we make today, which is why we are excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the next-generation of high-speed rail. The new train-sets will replace the current Acela Express equipment and begin service in 2021. For this project, we are pleased to be partnering with Alstom, a leading global provider of innovative systems and equipment in the railway sector. Alstom will be building these new trainsets in New York State, with 95% of the trainset’s components being made in America, and parts coming from 350 suppliers in 30 U.S. states.

Hey! I Penn Certral loco! Great to see it on the layout!

Amazing gift! Such a generous family! It’s so great to see a whole family into the hobby instead of one individual!

I love everything in that box! It was very nice of him to do that for you.

But that is very cool... I wish I was like you getting random boxes filled with trains... That is the coolest and I wish I can be like you... Thanks for making great videos!

The small metal switcher is made by Penn Line. It's their original version of the "Midget" as they called it. It used a spring-belt drive instead of the gear transfer from the later versions, a Pittman DC-60 motor, the chassis and wheels are solid brass, and the body is made from pure lead. Careful handling any bare spots on that lead body!

Jams May? I haven’t heard that name in years, lol. Nice gifts thanks to the sender! Thanks for the share SMT!

A fellow fan of Captain Slow? You are indeed a man of culture Harrison. Going by the gentleman's credentials I'm thinking you've been chosen as the padawan to model railroading Jedi knight. The Penn Central is an Alco C415 switcher put out by Alco in the late 60s and wasn't a big seller with only 28 built. Rock Island and SP purchased the most with 10 each and Spokane Portland & Seattle purchased 2 to round out the Class 1 owners, the remainder went to single purchase owners ( technically Weyerhaeuser lumber had 2 with their Chehalis Western and Columbia & Cowlitz but are counted as individual railroads) and Monongahela Connecting Railroad rounded out the last US purchase and the Alco demonstrator ending up with Hamersley Iron in Australia.

That is so cool!!! The model railroad community is so great!!!! EL GATO NERFF!!!!

The Penn Central center cab is very rare , and the B&O Boxcar is also rare . nice present !

Great lot! thats quite an interesting Penn Central engine, also nice reference at the end there about James May lol

The Penn Central probably an alco C-415, or in that series

The whitcomb is the Penn line, but is the D1. The D1 was the first version they made with the motor sticking out the rear. They then refined running and cosmetic qualities with the D2, which was much more popular, and is the yellow one you have. The PIKO engine is a class M62 Russian diesel locomotive. The one you have was made to work in Germany. The Penn central is a funny looking thing, but it did exist! It is an ALCO Century 415.

Hi Harrison. This BR130 was used in eastern Germany and nicknamed Ludmilla by the Germans, because it was manufactured in Russia .

Well those are some scrumptious model trains...

That GG1 is fantastic, toy enough and model enough to have the "best of two worlds" vibe. Edit, miskeyed.

I think Harrison would be surprised by all the fans he has all over. All ages I'm sure.

Hahaha James may. Didn’t know you watched any of those programs. “With realistic chuffing sound”

Iam actually currently in merrickvile Ontario and I went to lark spur line. I bought a few things.

Love your videos 👍

14:20 XD FLYING SCOTSMAN WITH REALISTIC CHUFFING SOUND

Cool stuff hope they run good

The Penn Central unit is an ALCO C415, which they didn’t order, since they liked SW1500s.

Love your vids

The AHM Pennsy diesel is a MP-15. Many were rebuilt to GP-15s in real life.

You should start collecting British trains that are amazing

Greetings from the Seattle area on the other side of North America. The Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Ry. owned two ALCo C415's. Both survived into the Burlington Northern merger.

Awesome video liked 🚂👍🚄

👏👏 cool

So many interesting thing, especially that Penn Central locomotive. Now you have a boxcar to go with each Mehano 2-10-2, that would be cool to see and hear running.

7:35 That is an Alco C-415, a mid-cab switcher built in the early 1960s.

I am correcting myself. The BR 130 "Ludmilla" was made in the Soviet Union by the Locomotive Factory Voroshilovgrad and operated by Deutsche Reichsbahn - DR from 1970 on in East Germany. After the German unification in 1991 it was adopted by Deutsche Bahn - DB as BR 230.

The Penn central diesel locomotive is a Penn central C415

I’ve seen the Penn Central loco before all I can remember about it is it’s a switcher and GE built at least I think it’s a GE

Hi SMT the br 130 is a german locomotive which was produced in Russia during the cold war. Then the DDR buyed a lot of them and as Germany was reunited they went into the hands of the Germany that we know today. Some of them are still in use

Also everybody loves a lifelike 0-4-0t!

Cool! If I'm not mistaken, the Penncentral unit is an Alco C415....didn't know they had those in HO scale

The Penn Central is an Alco C415 lighty duty switcher center cab design. Also I noticed that signal bridge over the two curved tracks on the industrial area near the trench. To note, that type of signal bridge is mean over straight pieces of double track. Hopes this helps.

Wow nice

The Penn Central is an Alco C-415, the last switch engine they produced. Don't believe in real life that Penn Central had any of these, but I know the Rock Island had a few. Some shortlines had them, as well. SP might have had them, too, now that I think about it.

The br130 is actually the DR130 they were produced by the Soviet union in the 1970s.

aloha Harrison!!! great vid. I'm not a fan of steam engines but that steam sounding boxcar is way cool. Terry from the big island of Hawaii

Well that was very cool there. That Penn central switcher locomotive i swear ive seen something about them not sure. The. Box car Tyco did make sound box cars and then they made a flat car with wood crates on them had. Slats you could see the speaker in it with good light. I had one but unfortunately it had no sound system on it someone must have taken it out but left the wheel that had the copper contact. Thats really cool the guy has the whole family dedicated to the model railroading which is what i want to do is make custom store or something with my daughter's included in it . Very neat locomotives that GG1 would be neat to see run . anyways hope everyone has a great day .

That Penn Central locomotive is odd, I’m not sure of the specific model, but it looks like something produced by ALCO at some point. Alco built a lot of different classes of small switchers to complete with GE and EMD, most of which didn’t sell well. Penn Central is a railroad that intrigues me, they had such a large operation but lasted for so short of a time. Fun fact when PC went bankrupt in 1974, it was the largest bankruptcy in America at the time.

ALCO made an effort to sell Penn Central C415s, but PC preferred EMD’s SW1500, as did most lines interested in end cab switchers. If they had ordered C415s, they would have been built with a lower cab. The odd layout of them however turned off the former PRR executives that swept aside the NYC executives during the red versus green team infighting that got Penn Central into trouble.

Cept for the horn hooks, luv the B & O boxcar.

You have too many locomotives! One of these days i’m gonna send you at least 40 pieces of freight rolling stock!

Harrison, please be careful cutting towards yourself with that box cutter... I have had a total of 18 stitches in my left arm, in 2 spots from a knife just like that one. But, as usual, great video, keep it up man.

11:37 that’s a cool locomotive

I think James may would be proud too

Dam people give alot of trains that nice of them

Thanks to you I got my first train set because I want to do model railroading because in wisconsin i just see cn and ns

BR 130 is German for "Baureihe 130", which translates to model range 130. You have a "Deutsche Bundesbahn" or "Deutsche Bahn" model.

nice video and a good letter. I have that same tyco gg1 I recently got off ebay. runs good

Hey SMT, I broke my collar bone last weekend without knowing it. Im getting some new N scale equipment so that I have something to do as I cant do a lot with my broken collar bone.

Maybe we should have a vote to see if we should or shouldn't keep the GG1 in the box!

great haul

The penn central locomotive looks a bit odd but cool at the same time. The hood makes it look of a bit but still pretty cool

8:30 the Br 130 (you have) is an East German loco.

SMT - The Penn Central center cab diesel was an ALCO model. I recall seeing it in a Walther's catalog from the 1990s & it was offered by International Hobby Corporation. Many railroads have trackage rights on the Saskatoon, Montreal, & Toronto Railway!

That's awesome

I believe the Penn Central 9078 loco is supposed to be an Alco C415. Just hope it's NOT an ATT model, as they were basically unreliable, and it if doesn't run - you won't be able to get parts. You should hope it's an AHM.

Nice

Awsome video I like that box car it's just like my G scale sound box car it dus chuffing sounds.

Maybe the BR locomotive needs to go with the Swedish loco!

Realistic chuffing sound😉

the penn central was a 1968 new york central and Pennsylvania railroad merger

That box car is odd wonder how it works.

8:12 i have that same loco And its german loco type 130 and his name is Ragulin

Wow a penn central c415, nice! Not sure if pc had them, but i know i want that one!!

Finally a gg1!!!

My grandparents worked for Penn Central and mean my parents dad work for Penn Central

Three words WOW

Super. 💙 T.E.N.

Wunderbar

Hello in smt Mainline the next time you do a live run of your trains can you run all the gg1 Electrics that you have this is Paul from Bensalem Pennsylvania

Please be careful with that sheetrock knife.you scare me.handle with care.you have very valuable hands.I have seen too many people get hurt with them and boxcutters.i want you to be safe and healthy my little Canadian buddy.go habs go

You might not see this but I am getting a RIVAROSSI 1336 2-3-1, you should try to get one to! There cool looking!
