Mr. Scott, the Mogul 2 6 0 was a heavy steam locomotive from the late 1896 to 1921. Your newly requied passenger cars will fit right in. Around this time frame, passenger service for railroads started to come into play. This is a good mail call gifts. Mike

And Must I Say Your Layout Is Looking Awsome.

Virginia and Truckee was a railroad that ran from Virginia City , Nevada to Carson City, Nevada. It was used to bring ore from the Comstock area.

What cute collection. Great to see them all together.

Very nice! Have to love the great people in this hobby. Thanks for sharing.

You have great friends. AND the great locomotive chase was a fantastic addition to the video

If you ever get the opportunity to ride the Durango and Silverton take it, what a wonderful experience

Colorado is a lovely place, I have lived in Denver my whole life. I have ridden the Silverton Durango and the George Town loop many times! Both of them are worth the trip out here.

Fantastic mail call Dave

Love that Train Dave.👍

What a great video especially the ending - loved it!

Love it

Very nice, and entertaining

Yes the durango and Silverton looks like an awesome trip I had hoped to do it last year( as it was our 40th anniversary) but plans fell through but you go through the grand canyonand can choose to have trip behing a steam train awesome....also these look great with denver rio grande engine hauling them....as I bought one once trip fell through 😂😂😂😂

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Also if you haven't found any yet, Roundhouse made some 60 foot Overton passenger cars. They had some nice detailing and fun to build. They also are old time looking.

Great fun

Your a luck man. You make me laugh. Your right doesn't have to be steam ,diesel or electric , they are all good. Enjoy it all.

Very nice. That little Mogul would look very cool double headed with your Ten Wheeler pulling all those wooden cars. Just a thought. Electric operations? Do a little research on the Pennsylvania Railroad, New York Central, Detroit Toledo and Ironton, Great Northern or Milwaukee Road. All had electrics. There were many others, but those are the ones I can think of offhand,

Virginia City Nevada Dave.

Cool Dave. I'm 100% diesel, but I now want a little steam like this one. Thanks for sharing!

1860-1910 for this type 2-6-0 used on light rail. That's what Mr. Google says.

This warrants a visit to Colorado. I rode the Durango and Silverton with the family. (I’m from southern Ontario) Worth the trip!

I got the same steam locomotive it is in Boston and main

1:47 I think the "pipework" is actually a tensioner. Oldtime cars were not made as strongly as modern cars and could bend in the middle under load. The tensioners were tightened to correct the bend and vice versa when running empty. I have a few of these cars and they all needed repairs to the rodding as they are exactly where one tends to put fingers to pick the cars up.

Mail Call Monday on a Saturday

Overton coaches

Hi Dave, could you tell your wife the material I told her about to protect pars she does not wand to paint is Frisket Masking Fluid made by DEMCO in Quebec. Thanks.

I think those cars are overton or harriman cars

I’ve seen 2 schools of thought on the couplers…affixed to the truck and affixed to the car frame. I’d think the optimal would be affixed to the truck so that the couplers would follow the same curve as the track rather than affixed to the frame. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

Can you tell what it is yet lol
