My pleasure

I hear you. I bought a better shape HO diesel locomotive and matching caboose, thanks to SMT! My old diesel locomotive might look good in an “scrap yard” section as an abandoned diesel..

The locations of these shows seems to be hit or miss. They used to have shows in Ottawa (population around 1 million) and now the only close ones are in Arnprior and Aylmer with populations far less than a million.

@@SMTMainline I would assume that people’s resources are challenged… I was financially forced in Texas to abandon my railroad bench to storage and possibly check the wiring and to get a van or truck to move it back to my garage… Till better days…?? I’m sure if you request a particular item or locomotive, or trade with someone on KZfaq they might swap out?? Just a crazy idea. Some model railroading folks rather sell or swap out to see their locomotive on your rails, and in your collection part with a locomotive to find a good yard to run on?? Just a crazy idea..?

Railserve lists a show in Phoenix on July 23. There are probably others who don't post on Railserve.

@@CR7659 flagstaff used to have one but they moved out, they’re also mainly in Mesa Gilbert and I’m rarely in that side but planning

The fact that none of those are exactly right for HO scale which is 1:87 is a bit annoying, as you’d need to get specific track for it, but if you’re into the niche then it’s really cool.

@@yourfellowpancake6335 The gauge is still H0 (16.5 mm), it's just the scale of the body that's a bit wrong. These old Fleischmann locomotives aren't really scale models anyway, if you compare them with the prototype or later models, the proportions tend to be slightly off, regardless of the actual scale.

The large number on the side tanks and the black wheels give this away as the US version ; the original German one would have had red wheels (unless someone painted them; the couplers on the one in the video are Fleischmann which surprises me as Fleischmann did sell them in North America with NMRA couplers).

@@ricardlupus oh ok i didn’t know that, I have a small collection of HO scale stuff but limited knowledge, most of which that I have is from SMT

Glad to hear it

@@SMTMainline It´s a german engine in the US livery. Fleischmann had quite a large US program in the fifties and sixties

Be sure to keep the box, that's an original one from the 50s/60s

They should have hosted the shows on different days, it would have worked better for everyone.

I bought it but haven't located the box.

Thanks awesome

Very Nice. Hobbytown drives are some of the best haulers around. If you ever watch DarthSantaFe, Hobbytown is a recurring theme. Shamefully i haven't found one yet.

Maybe so. The show/flea market I went to just a few months ago was more packed than I've ever seen.

When Not going to a Train show you can Always Go to a Train Shop And Still Find a Great deal on what you are Looking for anything for your Layout.

@@elleryparsons5766 True. But there are no train shops within an hours drive of where I live, and the two that are about an hour away dont sell used trains or anything in the scales I have. All the train shops that used to be close by are all closed years ago.

@@kevinjennerproductions2024I will do a video on mine on my channel eventually. These are pretty hard to find, only one at this show. Had Vaseline used as gear lube. I have seen Darth Santa Fe, and then there's also Did a test to see how many cars this 0-6-0 American Flyer HO steam engine could pull and its a lot! "I Hate Ready To Roll" is another good channel on kits like Hobbytown etc.

Right on!

I don't have the time, skill or spare cash for a project like that. I'm sure someone will make a good use of it :)

@@SMTMainline aww man,

I’ve had the same problem with all other namebrand track from Tico to Bockman I’ve even had some problems with the nickel silver atlas however, like I’ve told you before on your new Z scale, that you got from (“Rokuhan”), their quality is superior with the exception of atlas nickel silver as does Kato in HO and N gauge !!! And the gentleman who recognized the class 80 German locomotive 060T from Fleshman is a high End and high quality locomotive That I believe is made in Germany, and the locomotive video that you picked up earlier in the orange box wasn’t Arnold which is also made in Germany and high end and high-quality !!!! Just about anything made in Germany is super high end quality !!! 🌊🐺

The Fleischmann engine (Catalogue No. 1325) was the americanized version of their DB Class 80 locomotive introduced in 1952 (No. 1320), well before they develped their cog railway system in 1968. It was superceded by an engine of the same design with better detailing and a plastic body shell (No. 1322) in 1962.

@@BarefootCuer As you can see by my timecode i don't mean the 1325 but the n-gauge loco.

@@justaboringjoha3678 Sorry, missed thime code.

This makes much more sense now

What a Small world used to watch your apple accessories reviews back in the day

They look decent in my opinion, curious to see if they will cut travel time down.

@@gmcnewlook i still do them. kind of winded down a bit during the pandemic but hoping to get back iin to it more

@@SMTMainline not when ccaanda still prioritzes freight over passanger service. a shame really

If it wasn't being sold for 200 bucks I would have bought it.

@@SMTMainline yeah they are going for some money was it electric or clockwork? I couldn't really tell as it was a quick fly by

They're basically fancy Athearn blue box locomotives

@@SMTMainline Btw Have you ever heard of pocher ho trains There are like AHM amd rivarossi clones And their train cars are a Exact cloned of older life like and tyco cars

I've done that too. They'd much rather sell in bulk

Glad to hear it, I thought it seemed good but I wasn't 100 percent sure.

Thanks :)

Yes, gotta get those hot deals cooking.

Thanks for sharing

Pretty unusual rules which might not end well for us although this isn't the first time I've seen a "end of the line" for creators and it turns out to be nothing. Every 6 months or so, there is some new concern...

@@SMTMainline good point, but Im hoping for the best. Try to put out as many videos as possible for now until you know 😂

Kinda, my friend Nik has the same locomotive and one of the coaches however the cars he's hauling belong to me.

@@SMTMainline oh still cool tho

I wasn't aware of that show.

@@SMTMainline It was in Kirkland! The next one is in November and in Laval! Maybe I'll remind you if you want!

Might have burned out

Thanks a bunch

Thanks

I did but I can’t find the box... I’m hoping I didn’t somehow forget it there lol.

Non working

Of the show?

@@SMTMainline the shop
