There's something about the Southern Pacific Daylight paint scheme that can make almost any locomotive look appealing (steam, diesel electric), doesn't matter the scale that it's in.

The 1983 whistle was a good chuckle! I've seen the daylight train out here in the west. Its so imposing and the real whistle sounds like bloody murder raging down the track and echoing through the mountains like the screams of lost souls.

I just started watching your channel...I can't stop watching. I was obsessed with trains for the first 17 years of my life then lost the spark when I started high school. I'm 41 now and just got all my trains from my parent's house and the spark is coming back......Sooooooo much has changed my head is spinning. Thank you!

I was gonna buy that exact one. It's a good day when RBP uploads a video!

Definitely impressive seeing the technological advancements that have been made in this hobby over the last 40 years

I grew up with MPC, and I love em!! Totally reminds me of my childhood! I got my first one as a Christmas gift from my dad in 1972!! A GP-9, and I still run it today

It's a very nice one. I also like how we can see that the hobby takes your inner child out. Enjoy the engines

Another great video Chris! Love the daylight MPC set, and the new one too of course.

Can't go wrong with SP and specifically can't go wrong with seeing old vs new comparisons! The more videos I see you post about MPC really gives me a new appreciation for this era in model trains!

I just fried my circuit board on my 8800. I didn't know about that foam until it was too late. I'm going to have it fixed because it was my grandpa's and he liked everything working.

We enjoyed the daylights out of this video brotherman, really great. Keep it up!😊😊👍👍

I’m a new viewer, I’m 18, just starting to get back into my love for Trains, when I was around 10 11 12 I always wanted to have my own HO scale layout, but now I’m starting to love your layout, and want one similar to yours, with all Lionel trains! And man you have the best videos, just the information you provide along with your awesome AWESOME personality, man I love it! Thanks, best subscription I’ve made yet!

I think one of the best advancements in model trains has to be the low-end speed control. Don't get me wrong - the increases in detail to the bodies and sound effects are really important too - but even if we had those but the trains took off like a rocket and couldn't slowly & realistically build up speed, the effect would be lost. For me at least, I mostly saw trains in stations, arriving and pulling away. The slow build up of watching the engines hiss and hum as they slowly but smoothly built up speed was the beginning of adventure. All the sounds of the bells, whistles, and horns are associated in my mind with watching these locomotives coming to a halt gently and smoothly pulling away. A train moving at high speed is great, but the finer points can be lost in a blur. A train at rest is pretty yet restrained. But the transition state in between is where you can fully observe and take in all the details, engineering, sights, and sounds of these living machines. Poetry in motion.

5:12 the mighty sounds of steam!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great fun, You have the coolest trains, and sweet set up. Always have fun riding the rails with you. 😃

I have that Daylight engine that I have not run since 1983 . Thanks for the tip about the circuit board , I will have to check it before I power my engine up, I would not have thought about checking that board.

Very BEAUTIFUL steam locomotives with AWESOME features and sound effects! Them passenger cars very BEAUTIFUL as well, with shiny paint scheme and NICE inside lights! Thanks for sharing Chris and enjoy your trains! I definitely enjoy my ho scale CSX locomotives with many freight cars.

Great video, I love the Daylight, both models are great.

Wow what a beauty! I recently got a MTH Daylight 2.0 set and it’s beautiful. Just needed a BCR and a headlamp

All I can say here is "Long live the Southern Pacific Lines"!

Love the cylinder steam!! Need to get me one of those some day!

I love your trained I love them so much their designs are so so cool

Gotta love the SP Daylight! No matter what Era, but I definitely love my MPC

Nice set up!!!

Another nice video, the steamers looked great

I have the Daylight from the 1991 catalogue with the original Railsounds that is based on the same tooling as the MPC Daylight. While it doesn't sound very realistic by modern standards, Railsounds 1 was a big improvement over the Mighty Sound of Steam in my opinion. I've heard that the tooling for these engines is just a modified version of the J class, but I don't have a J (for now) so I can't confirm that. While they aren't very accurate, they are still very cool engines.

I love this guy I enjoy the content and he just seems like a super nice guy

Happy 10k subscribers rbp trains

The vision line ones are so realistic!

I am back from my Social Media Vacation and I am excited to start binging your videos again to catch up. I am also loving your MPC Era videos, these were the trains that were around when I was growing up in the 90s that people had. I own a few, but I always find myself watching one of your videos and immediately searching online for the train you just featured. The Daylight is something that I’ve dreamed about owning, in any era, because of the history of the Southern Pacific where I live and the fact that red and orange are my favorite colors. I enjoyed this video and I always enjoy seeing trains running around your amazing layout…the Barbie train (?) making a cameo appearance was also a nice chuckle for me. Closing in on 8,000 subs and I remember being here when you had 300 something subs…I am extremely proud of you, Chris! It could not have happened to a better person and a better ambassador to this great hobby! ❤️

The daylight is the most beautiful train in the world

My favorite trains of all trains

Though not my favorite railroad, I'd say the daylight is up there in designs designs. It almost has a Dreyfus Hudson design feel where it's still a streamline engine, but it highlights area's like the pistons and drive rods in order to make it easier for the work crew when the engine needs to be repaired.

At the Railroad Museum of Long Island Riverhead location, we have a Scale MTH protosound 2 daylight 4449, and oh boy it lets out a heap of smoke when you turn it on.

That has to be the fastest unboxing I’ve ever seen 😂😂 LOL! Yup, they’ve sure come a long way with sound, lighting, etc., loved the horn 😂😂. So, does your better half kinda wanna throw you out for smoking up the room or are you using the sweet smell of Chanel #5 😂? Thanks again for another cool video. BTW I have the same set of canoes but only in N scale, yours looks like a couple of yachts in very small ponds, I love it 👍🏻😄

Great video as always! As much as I love the Vision Line series, I still will always have a place in my heart for the old MPC era items. Growing up, my grandfather (who bought and sold trains for close to 30 years) would always give my brother and I an engine and a few cars from the MPC era for our birthdays and Christmas! Keep up the great work!

Another great review!

That's awesome. I really enjoy your videos. The last layout I had was HO and that was about 30 years ago. Now that's all in the past. I still have the lionel engine and cars my father bought me back in the 50's. It's a 2025 engine with passenger cars. Sits on a shelf in my workshop. Keep making these great videos.

Halfway expected the fire alarm to go off with all of that smoke

Super cool!

As of 1/12/2022, I now own the MPC 4449. What I need now is the legacy 4449, and both passenger car sets

I love trains so this is the best vid

Great video as always 👍

Favorite channel

As always excellent video. Nice looking engine my friend.

Hear me out: for Christmas, customize the 4449 as the American Freedom Train with the stripe green to give it that Christmassy feel.

Daylight all day..every day!

Trainz is an excellent, honest seller.

4411 is my favorite locomotive

Great video Chris. The only problem is that now I want to start collecting MPC. Thanks Bill

I’d suggest getting the Chessie with an M1 Steam Turbine They are quite the locomotive and are a real eye catcher

MPC engine looks great. The harmonica and the sound of sand paper certainly are unique. Love how the air filled with protochoke. My regards to the wife for tolerating the “sweet smell of chanel no5.”

Your layout is starting to look at more like London with all that smoke lol

Ein super Video 👍Danke schön 😊

This is cool and I’m been trying to get the BPRR in o scale but can’t really find anything

I study the daylights its amazing beautiful wonderful locomotive and passenger cars

Woow, i love its! Watching from taiwan.

That's cool

Nice!!! Do you have or are you getting any of the FARR steam sets? I have all 5 set and they are great!!

i love all that smoke i modified one of my mth's and she smokes good now lol

Wow I want one

How come no smoke fluid in the 8307?! Great video. Thanks, man.

My heart skipped a beat when he threw that box down.😬 Any possibly that you would do any Trainmaster Videos, just picked up the Santa Fe and she is a beauty.

I love your vids thank you, but i have a question i need 2 good and large size turn tables for my layout which ones would you recommend thank you jay.

Nice

I can see your daughters like to fill up gondolas just like mine do. What figures do yours use? Mine like to use Lego People, My Little Ponies, and Hatchamals. All those daylight engines are nice and I like the sound coming from the MPC era engine, different but still fitting.

I still need to find some time to restore the decals on my Lionel MPC daylight

Honestly Chris where would we be in this hobby if it wasn't for all you YOU TUBE TRAIN FRIENDS ;-)

Hay👋 Die Daylight ist eine mega Maschine 👍😊

Thank you ! I have a Lionel 6-11724 Great Northern F3 ABA in my (Trainz) wish list that I will apply discount !

my only Lionel is the HO scale chalenger , but i have the daylite in N and HO by other makers

Good video Chris, you make the evolution of the hobby very interesting and very watchable. 5 out of 5 stars.

As I have said before. This man has the best hair

The aluminum passenger cars look awesome. Another great video Chris!

Well I hope you disconnected your smoke alarm very nicely looking engine there Chris I think you scored on this one 👍👍

Chris where did you get that awesome bridges?? I have been looking everywhere

How many engines can you run at once all coupled up/doubleheading/tripleheading/ quadruple heading?

can you do a review on the legacy control system and how to set up the whole thing question can you program different engine on the legacy control

Love those MPC steam Engines. I have the Daylight passenger cars because I have the Southern Pacific F3's. I am planning on buying the Daylight when I have the opportunity. Yours looks and runs great!

I have a question for you I have a bunch of pre-60 model Lionell trains I was wondering why they run on the newer train sets

Nice locomotives I have a daylight 3000 and it looks great. I see your Shay in the background a couple times. When was it made and you should do a video on it sometime!

I am thinking of starting this hobby and interested in the o scale. I'm thinking of starting with the super chief lionchief set. What lionel set do you recommend for a beginner?

The pink train stole the show. :)

You should be glad that your family will get in a safe and stay healthy safe place for your family 🚂🚂

another great video! Checking the foam pad is also good advice for the Marx sound O power tenders (Marx pioneered electronic sound!) I think the earlier sound of steam/whistle boards sounded better and were better synchronized at slower speeds than the ones in the 80s.

I love theDaylight engines! My favorites are the GS5 and GS2. They're the best!

Is it just me or does the handrail and ladders on the MPC daylights cab look bent?

Wow

How do you program two engines to work at the same time and drive at the same speed?

Hello Chris nice video keep up the good work in getting people fully engaged in our fun hobby GOD BLESS CHRIS ;-)

does that shop have them in HO gauge 4488 has a cool sounding horn i want it

RBP TRAINS CLAM BAKING THAT BASEMENT SON! LOVE YOUR CHAN SUB im into Train Porn so much recently

Is the mpc GS-2 O-27 compatible?

Remember - always have to get into and re-grease / oil the gearboxes in those MPC’s or anything with old Pullmors. Any excessive vibration or noise from those motors is a sign of dryness or even gumminess from baked-in grease. Check out your vision GS motor-mount screws and motor positioning when you get a chance. I had an alarming number of these daylights come in straight from Lionel with motors not angled straight at the gearbox and grinding down the dog-bone shaft. Had to correct each one and also tighten all three motor screws to prevent any possibilities of long term damage. One of the motors was completely loose and flopping around instead of driving the wheels. Terrible QC. Anyway, those are two beauties you have there (three including MPC). :)

It would be cool if he got an SP AC-9

Does anybody Realize how the MPC GS-4 has some Counter parts of the J class.

Also In Gastonia

Can you still get vision line GS series engines

where do you get your train from
