Welcome to my channel. I hope you have enjoyed what you've seen so far. It is my mission to make the best content I can. Mostly my content is Railfaning and Model railroading. Most of my Railfaning videos are of Sunrail, Amtrak and CSX. The video schedule is as follow's. Videos Tuesday's And Friday's. Shorts Whenever.
Imi place la americani caci iubesc trenurile si se ocupa de calea ferata si respecta cea ce a fost locomotiva cu abur Respect from Romania god bles you Amin
I will never understand why they insist on not using the runaround track that’s at Parrish. Move the loading ramp back about 6 feet, do some track work and boom, you don’t have to push the train 6 miles anymore
Hey Tim, so happy to find your video! Looking at buying a home in Harmony at Lake Eloise in Winter Haven and the tracks are right near it. Since you’re the guy in the know, can we connect and you tell me more about what trains and how often they run?
Really like how you edited it to make it to make it all feel like one trip. And I think it should go without saying that "Bay Biscayne" is my new favorite member of the Sugar Express consist. That right there is riding in style.
I can vouch it’s a very great museum. Always was, as young as I can remember. My dad was a member for decades and he helped work on the President Washington in the ‘80s. Unfortunately their plans for a repeat of the Fair of the Iron Horse were destroyed along with the roundhouse from the 2003 snowstorm. I so wanted to have that festival!
I have never ridden the train before and would really like to. Maybe the first time I ride a train it’ll be one that you’re working on. Way to go with following your dreams Tim.
@TimThatTrainGuy How many MPC era freight cars do you think the U36B could pull comfortably? It DID come in a starter set with 14 pieces of rolling stock, after all. (I don't suppose you have enough postwar era rolling stock to know how much of that it can pull comfortably too, do you?)
I did some testing with a mix of cars from different areas and it was able to move 14 somewhat easily. But my U36b could use new traction tires so with new tires It may pull better
@@TimThatTrainGuy How hard is it to get new traction tires for Lionel engines? I have a Hornby OO steam engine with traction tires that crumbled away, and I'm considering buying a replacement axle instead of new tires as the extras in the bag would crumble away by the time the one set I used did.
@@Charmaster04 for Lionel Diesel's it's pretty easy as almost every o gauge diesel has the same size wheels. But for the hornby steam Locomotive you would have to try and order that through hornby or I would try a product called bullfrog snot which is a liquid rubber traction tire
@@TimThatTrainGuy In the case of the Hornby model, the original rear axle has a trench in it for the tire so it won't stay on the rails with a chunk of the traction tire missing (which was how I found out what the black flakey things along my loop of track were, since the engine started wobbling about and derailing), and I have looked up the product code of both the tire and the new axle with the solid wheels. If this bullfrog snot can be put on any wheel (provided it's not critical that said wheel conduct electricity) without a groove, I would unhesitatingly buy the solid wheel'd axle over the traction tires and use weights and/or the bullfrog snot if I wasn't satisfied with the reduced pulling power. If it can be used to fill the groove, I'll be saved the expense of possibly paying $20 or more for a new axle (Or if the savings aren't significant, I would at least have something I could use across multiple engines as needed). Speaking of o gauge diesels sharing the same size of traction tire, this engine (A Great Western Railway County of Devon) shares the same tire size and wheel design with all of Hornby's budget end ("Railroad") 4-4-0's, so it's a similar situation.
Won't lie, this is the first time I heard about GP11 No. 311 being sold. When next I go to Clewiston I might ask someone about it. The U.S. Sugar fleet feels a bit like family to me, I won't lie, so I'm sad to see her go, but wishing her the best of luck in a new home. I wonder if one of the new SD units will be taking 311's place on SCFE.
Have taken the silver meteor so many times between PA and SC and other times down to FL, it’s one of my favs and now even the full diner service is back!
