Didn't know u also do H0 modeling besides 1/32 scale live steam. Yrs ago, i had Tenshodo's PRR K4s H0 model bought used in a good condition w perfect weathering done by a prev. owner. Also had a fully scaled length plastic coaches, forgot if they were the old style P70s or the modern streamlined Pullmans. The loco got lost during one of the moves. But sold the rake of those cars thereafter. I don't remember if the K4s class pulled any modern streamline cars however. Sure miss the paired H0 train. I also liked H0 PRR Q2, a duplex, the frame has no articulation, Pennsy hated the latter bc. of the hi maintenance, unlike the N&W and the other RRs*. Q2's 4-4-6-4 whl arrangement is very unique and w the box-poc drivers, she sure looked super and powerful. It was the most powerful loco Pennsy ever had, measured 8,000Hp. Here's the photo of Q2: www.reddit.com/r/trains/comments/1alz5vi/the_prr_q2/?rdt=62583 KTM made the Q2 in H0 and also i believe in 0-scale (1/48th, nut 1/43.5 of the UK). I was lucky to find a grey and weathered painted H0 version in a train store back 25 yrs ago in excellent condition. It's a big engine w the long distance tender, just like ur T1. When i switched to the bigger 0-scale, i couldn't afford neither one of the fixed frame PRR loco models, neither KTM/Westside Q2 or the Raymond Loewy's Kodama T1 model for the passenger train in brass (well, the T1 ended up pulling their freight trains anyway). But when i switched again from the 0-scale to 1/32 scale live steam, didn't buy the Accu. PRR T1 bc. their valve gears were just slip eccentric. If ur skilled at it, u can convert that into simulated or real Walschaerts. Surprised u were able to run that H0 T1 on ur sharply curved indoor layout. I bet if u get ur hands on a KTM Q2 or Kodama's T1 in 0-scale, u can run it on ur outdoor layout? Thx for recalling my memories of these PRR models. __________ *UP didn't like the articulated locos either as they borrowed some N&W Y1 2-8-8-2 for another reason. They didn't care much about the articulated strong pulling power. They hated the Y1's bc. they were too slow going up the Cheyenne mountains. They wld rather have a fixed frame 4-8-8-4 going faster over the mountains despite they may need to send 2 or even 3 trains vs. one train of slow Y1. So, as u may know, the Big Boy is nut(not) the most powerful loco in die weite Weld. The N&W's Y6b 2-8-8-2 compound is the king. She got this huge boiler like a fat maid. And, i bet UP didn't care to save money by using the steam twice. They just wanted to get the freight thru the mountains faster. The Western State mountains r more steeper n rugged than the N&W's gentle round older mountains. Here's the Y6b's spec: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_and_Western_2174
In the comparison sequence "Big Boy" appears to be taller than the S1 as well. The Western states enjoyed a slightly more generous loading gauge than the East.
magnifique, je cherche toujours si les wagons du train bleu de J&M Wagott dont j'ai décoré l'intérieur, et que j'ai vendus en 2006 sont toujours en vie !
Beste, excuus dat ik deze mooie video gebruik voor een vraag over uw SNCF140C van aster. Jaren geleden heeft u een supergoede video gemaakt van de steamup sequentie. Daar zag ik dat de 140C een drain valve heeft om de cilinders van water te ontdoen. Heeft u misschien een foto van de bouwtekening pagina waarop beschreven staat hoe aster dat gedaan heeft? Ik zit te spelen met het idee om mijn tigerli van een dergelijke “upgrade” te voorzien 😊
Hallo MB, die video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vZudmpa5i0A.html&pp=ygUPMTQwQyBtcmJyYW1tb29z) is van Bram, niet van mij. Verdere conversatie via het MLS forum.
Enfin une magnifique rame de l' Exagone en H0 (ou HO comme ils disent incorrectement là-bas...) J' apprécie que vous ayez choisi la version en c.c. Trix. Moi, après les TOUBLES HORRIBLES pour faire marcher correctement en ANALOGIQUE la Flèche Churchill Trix, j' ai vécu hier des moments d' anxiété à la réception de la suédoise Littera F 1200 Trix 25490, mais tout s' est parfaitement déroulé sur l' ALA, aussi avec le "confort" de l' Opération FIAT LVX...

Excellent series of outdoor videos! A couple of quick questions on layout construction: you run steel posts into the ground, some sort of steel beam between them, then a gal steel tray all pop riveted together, full of ballast with track laid on top. Q1: I'm guessing there are drain holes in the bottom of the tray? Q2: What else is under the ballast? timber or compressed fibre concrete sheeting? Maybe just a ton of ballast... Cheers Pete
Thank you. The tray/gutter is completely filled with ballast and indeed there are drain holes such that the rain can go through.I used a total of 1 cubic meter of ballast. See: sncf231e.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/OGR.pdf
Very Nice! I saw an Aster J1e Hudson #5344 for sale. I already own one but it is the USA Trains 1:29 scale J1e Hudson #5344, not the 1:32 that Aster made. Thank You for posting. I love the NYC J1e's, especially #5344. I have an O scale K-line that Ray did the PS2 upgrade along with the smoke. Simply beautiful. Here is the youtube video. Nevermind me talking. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pGKorTG-FVY.htmlsi=G_yKCDJ5J1-QxMpB
I did buy it. It's on the way and I should receive it Thursday. I'm thinking about sending it off to Ray of Ray's Electric Trainworks in Gardner, Kansas to have PS3 installed along with Ray's supercharged MTH upgraded smoke unit.
That was a new one on me. I've seen photos of the 7000 class 4-8-2 that UP similarly streamlined, but until now I didn't realise that there was a Pacific like that as well!
Payá for sure. The correct splelling is with final á, a quite common family name in the region where the company started in 1905: Payá Hermanos, S.A of IBI, province of Alacant (in Valencian) or Alicante (in Castillan). IBI was the Spanish capital of toys, I guess with more toys manufactures concentration than in Nuremberg itself. I have a lot of toys made in IBI, due to my Spanish relatives... Merkur is also interesting, I speak here as true Cisleithanian, but I never had Merkur models....
Thank you. Here is the complete Payá train I have ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJpVyigzG4E.html And here is another Spanish toy train locomotive from my collection: Josfel or Jos-Fel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a0VJSemmT68.html
@@sncf231e Very nice videos as usual and very nice the Payá train, NOT the same for the Jos-Fel. Rico in Spain "copied" the famous Rivarossi Minobus (made after an Austrian patent...), but as tin toy and not in bakelite and 20 V motor and not 12-14 V, very hard to drive on the Rivarossi original overhead. The Spanish toy industy started very early with plastic material, specially for large car models, with metal chassis and clockwork motors or friction, at a time (late Fifties..) when Germany still used everywhere "NUR BLECH" (TIPPCO VW Bully, JNF, Arnold, etc)... I still have the cars my oncle and my grand-mother (his sister) purchased me in 1958 in A Coruña, during my first trip to Galiza (I love Galician as well as Portuguese, but, if I spoke in the past quite fluently Portuguese, I never tried to use Galego, I understad very well. On the other side I am still quite fluent in Castillan)... Today NO trains at all for me, but I adopted SIX news Teddy bears (including one original Steiff Zotty), one Heideschaf from Steiff and a wonderful PURZELMAUS (100 years old), competing succesfully with the famous Steiff PURZELBÄR...

If i combine the 4-6-2 and the 0-8-0 i basically get a p5g class, which no one makes... well i already have the 0-8-0. If i can get that heavy pacific, or at least the smokebox door, i can make the thing. And the overall front end of the non wheel based areas
That is Beautiful! I might be purchasing one in the next hour or so. I'm definitely going to have to get the 1/32 cars. Most of the popular cars made by USA Trains and others are all 1/29.
