In this video I will be unboxing, reviewing and running a CSX GP15-1 from Walthers Trainline. Website link: www.walthers.com/catalogsearc... Amazon link for this locomotive: smile.amazon.com/Walthers-Tra...

About a month ago, I bought the Walthers GP-15 Conrail version. It has worked perfectly as it runs hours a day on my shelf train. Very quiet motor, pulls three Hornby rail cars effortlessly and provides that perfect quiet white noise that knocks Old Guys out while sitting in the recliner watch baseball in the man cave. So far, it runs up to 12 hours a day almost daily.

I have 3 of these. CSX, NS and BNSF. All of them are solid runners. I also find they are fairly easy to maintain, about as easy as the old blue box locomotives.

Everyone seems to make a big deal about separately applied parts. I have some Stewart Bowser F7s and the basic shape looks accurate and there is almost nothing to break off the body. I love them.

Love it! I have NS 1446 and these engines are good and they can pull! Great buy!

I need to do a pull test with this loco. See how it compares to a Mainline loco.

Great Train Video! i Liked How You Took The Time To Explain How To Oil The Locomotive. As You Pointed out. The Slow Speed Is Very Good. This is A Very Insightful Video. Oh Yes... i like The Mpdel DeLorean In The Background. lol I Have The Original DeLorean Plus All Three Deloreans Form The Back To The Fuure Movies.

Yeah, I need to take out of the box and run sometime. I'm bad about buying stuff and not running it.

Train line is their lower priced, and lower made products! If you want a better running engines, get the Walthers Proto models!
@animalyze71209 ай бұрын
Yeah because Proto is as realiable as the Trainline and costs 9 times as much for choo choo sounds. Proto is for the elitist wealthy folks even their rolling stock costs more than a solid normal Locomotive. Mainline is a good middle ground if you are adamant about noisy, fake DCC sounds. I have 50 year old HO locomotives that still pull more and work far better than the newer stuff but obviously don't look as detailed so the trade off is real ;)

what radius are your curves? they look a bit tight. I actually have teh same locomotive, and have had great experience and has not had any problems.
@VintageRoadRail2 жыл бұрын
18" curves. I'm a big fan of Wathers. I have a couple Trainline locos and 3 or 4 Mainline.

Are all the wheels powered or is it like the old ones?
@VintageRoadRail3 ай бұрын
All wheel drive and all wheel pick up. Very good budget loco.

How many commenters below actually realize these are so good because they use Athearn designs? Oops, let the cat outta the bag there. Trainline are good engines with small kid level of detail and make excellent starter gifts as they are reliable enough not to chase away potential hobbyists with weird defects and low quality like the Tyco, Life-Like and Bachmann sets used to do. All have come a long way from the 70's when I was growing up. Except for quite a bit of price gouging the hobby has gotten a bit better numbers wise but we've a long way to go to get them Golden days back, looking forward to new folks!

I have no issues running the Trainline locomotives. Very reliable and easy to maintain.

I just bought this same one and its super slow and loud compared to my other engines. Is this normal? Im unsure because im new to the hobby.
@VintageRoadRail2 жыл бұрын
Hmm, that's surprising as mine runs quite and has decent speed. May want to look into swapping it out.
@ParadigmAC2 жыл бұрын
@@VintageRoadRail I might just return it. Best way to describe it is its half the speed of my other 5 engines. One of them being a Walthers Gp9 thats very quiet.

How does it feel sir metal or plastic
@VintageRoadRail Жыл бұрын
The body is plastic. Not sure on the chassis. I think it's metal, but would have to look.

That sucks. I have 3 of these and they run great. Might want to see if whoever got it for you can exchange it.
