Congratulations Chris! That is one beautiful engine. I love the color combination and especially the painted trucks along with the chain detail on the rear truck. The fixed pilots are really nice. If you ever decide to have another engine made you might consider adding your voice to the crew talk. Please keep creating your informative videos. They are a great addition to the world of O scale model railroading.

As a life long fan of the MKT I definitely appreciate this custom unit! Grew up seeing them in their yellow-green scheme in the 80's and have the N scale heritage unit. Your channel has grown so much! lol i'm a little envious! lol. I don't run O scale but I may have to save up for one of these.

I think the colors look amazing, I love that the trucks are painted the cherry coke red too, it looks really cool. Your custom engine would look great running with Eric's custom engine. I love the little subtle easter eggs too. Great video and congratulations once again Chris.

Chris, it has to feel really good to have accomplished this. That is a gorgeous engine and it is even more special because it is a unique RBP Trains creation (with a little help from Lionel and TrainWorld). One reason we all enjoy your channel so much is that you keep upping the ante. Looking forward to what you do next!

A dream come true! Such great news, Chris, and an awesome response! This is real a big win-win for you and your fans and all collectors. Congratulations to you for your foresight and loyalty making this happen with the support of Trainworld and Lionel. The Katy RBP ES44 is a stunner to see and running on the layout. Wow! Two years and all these stellar accomplishments!

@alt-animefan3231 7 ай бұрын

I can only imagine the joy, honor and pride you most feel. Something you started as a hobby then posting KZfaq videos about it and 2 years later you've teamed up with Lionel and have your very own custom engine. There are KZfaq channels with 20x your sub numbers that haven't achieved such things in their respective communities.

Its your amazing personality and creativity that sets you apart from all the rest. Keep up the great job your doing by inspiring all of do better work on our layouts. Next round of RBP custom equipment, lets do some rolling stock. Maybe a nice 50' hi-cube box car or tank car to start with. Heck, I'd buy a whole consist of RBP rolling stock. How cool would that be. Thanks from everyone who has every watched one of your videos. Even if they didn't subscribe, because your you they keep tuning back in. Thanks for everything Chris, your the Best!

Chris, I have enjoyed your personal take on our hobby. I just got your new diesel and I like the color scheme. I was not following the Katy line but I found the red and silver MTH Rock Island passenger cars are a dead match to the base Katy red. They look very cool together so I now have a totally fantasy scheme line. I am starting my own permanent install so I will keep in touch. Again thanks for all you do for this great hobby. Duncan

Chris, great job on the color scheme. I am glad you explained the reason for the black color because that is not a color I would have chosen. It really looks great with the burgundy and red stripes! I had to look up the history on The Katy to learn it is a real train. I thought your wife's name was Katy and so you put it on the train and T-shirt! Lol!! All the best to you!

And I don't have a Legacy controller so just set up a oval of fastrack on the floor and ran it with my lionchief app. It is great. Thanks for making my first legacy engine the best one yet.

Congratulations Chris. This is a beautiful locomotive befitting the work and support you do for this great hobby through your You Tube channel. It is an honor to you, a great model railroader. That said, I have it and I'm glad I do. I have the certificate and I am going to frame it. I did like the bright red colors originally illustrating how the locomotive would look better and so the locomotives actual release was a little of a let down. But I am enjoying it. It looks great and it is a lot of fun! Thanks very much for all you do!
