Wow! David Z-to-G, you are so very kind and generous. What makes this so much fun is that Harrison truly enjoys and appreciates these wonderful older HO scale locomotives and rolling stock pieces. It is a pleasure to watch. Harrison, you need two non-powered yards added to the layout: one for locomotives and one for rolling stock. The best thing to happen to old model trains is when they go to people who love them and care about them. My grandfather had a MASSIVE collection of stunning pre-World War II trains (metal, no plastics yet). Many were complete sets in nearly perfect condition. He made sure that all of them went to other collectors who knew and loved those trains as well. I received a couple of pieces that I cherish. Someday Harrison will do the same with his MASSIVE collection of hundreds of locomotives and pieces of rolling stock and make they all go to collectors who know and care. SMT's videos ALWAYS put a big smile on this old model railroader. Thanks.
I know this video was about a year or so ago but you have got to be the most luckiest person in the world. I've always wanted to have a train set but never could afford one but you get these things sent to you all the time and don't even have to buy anyting which is unbelievable.
there have been some big collectors out there- the late mac lowrey (of 'railways of america' fame) comes to mind. mac had an incredible collection of scratch-built o-scale steam and i lived right down the street from his place.
Harrison I always enjoy watching you receive all those goodies makes me happy to watch.👍 I have the same MRC TECH 3 transformer 2 to be exact.. enjoy.🙂
So many things I destroyed during the years, because I wasn't patient and opened it properly. In all fairness, I also destroyed goods by cutting them unintentional.
What another great haul Harrison!! Looks like theres tons of fun there. On the subject of the mdc kit you built. Im not looking for any shout outs or anything i just uploaded a video on my channel of a old metal bowser kit im building that i think you would enjoy. Just to show you what you can do with those old die cast kits that i truly miss. Cheers!!
I've watched your videos off n on now I know why I can't get my stuff from Ebay lol I love the old vintage Tyco n Life Like trains my dad and I did this hobby together so I like watching your channel to see all the vintage trains that come across it
@SMT Mainline the icy chocolate cubes we used to have, back in the 80's. I haven't seen them in along time. You were looking for a supply of those brush picks look in the buck store, I get them there all the time. Keep up the great work.
Christmas, birthday, "Swell Videographer Day" presents. KEEP up the good work. ...."WELL, Folks..." Totally awesome. John Kamloops, BC p.s. You are a good person... you make good choices.
David Z-to-G... you a amazing person for doing what you do. To keep the hobby going and the intrest of the hobby to the younger generation. Imwould like to say from the older generation great job bud. SMT Mainline you make the excitemint come back to the hobby. You are doin a great jod bud keep it up.
The Tyco PRR Shark Nose is a custom painted unit. It started out as in the BN Hockey Stick scheme. You will see the start of the stripe in the light behind the cab door.
I know that like myself seeming professional doesn’t mean all that much to you… But I’m here to tell you in my eyes your channel seems a lot more professional than it did not too long ago! Keep up the amazing content!
I'm no expert on this stuff ether but hearing stuff like that means a lot. I certainly don't make the most professional content out there and I never will but I have been trying to improve it so hearing something like that is a bid deal to me.
you are a bona fide video guru, harrison, and i don't mean to take it for granted, but i am into the hobby just like you are. i grew up in the 60's visiting my relatives in youngstown ohio and remember the steel mills and railroads there- what an era it was!!! my grandpa, tony calabrese, was in charge of carbon-limestone's narrow-gauge fleet of 1942 porters in hillsville pa.- a tiny, limestone quarry town near the ohio-pa state line. my dad, john, used to skip school and ride with him making his rounds through the quarry, picking up rock and delivering it to their crusher- where it was crushed, sorted and dropped into P & LE gondola trains to supply the steel mills in youngstown, pittsburgh, steubenville, weirton, braddock, and other destinations. can you imagine riding with your dad on a dinky doing a job like that? i would NEVER have made it to school if it was me! unfortunately, black monday 1977 came too soon and it is all gone now. thanks so much for your channel, harrison- you are an inspiration to us all, oldsters and noobs alike. rob
13:55 *"Wow."* 14:04 *"Look at that."* 14:08 *"The New Haven has a paint scheme that I absolutely love."* Guess who's gotta send some stuff up north now...
Im not seeing any comments about this, so I'll say it. The Bachmann catalouge is a double sided catalouge, and if you flip it over it is the main catalouge, and it shows the HO, N, and O scale bachmann products.
I live kinda close to David (on the scale of we are in the north east lol) and I recognized most of those brands, like Bachman, Williams, and a few others
I love watching your videos and I love model trains especially when you’re fixing a locomotive🚂 I also love the music in the background and your videos also could you maybe get a flying? Scotsman HO steam locomotive because I love flying Scotsman once again great job doing your videos keep doing what you do. Thank you🚂
Thanks, It makes a difference using it to record instead of my phone but it's recored separate so I must overlay the audio over the footage perfectly or else it doesn't look right.
You can see the BN stripe under the Pennsy paint where someone painted that themselves. It looks pretty good. . I remember those Model Power RS11s sold new about 1994. Made by the same outfit that made the AHM GP18, most of the guts and drive parts are the same. The company still exists, last named Mehano, but IIRC they went bankrupt in the midst of a move of production to China and most of the things they made haven't been seen in a long time. . The New Haven is also a Mehano product, but that's a strange one. The shell was tooled as an FT in 1968-ish for a company called American Train & Track. For some reason it was shortened up including the nose and had a strange look to it. it later got the details of an F9, but kept the same odd proportions. At some point in the mid-80s Mehano, standardized everything with that eight wheel drive originally introduced in the AHM GP18 - you can even find AHM C-liners with it. I don't think these F9-ish engines were sold very long, Model Power sold an F3 that used the Cox tooled shell on a metal frame with a clone of the RSO drive which is much more common. . Which, if you want strange turns, the Cox-based things Model Power sold wound up going to Walthers, who sold the GP9 as a Trainline engine. So to replace them they turned up what was once Marx HO tooling and sold that for a long time - which included another oddly proportioned F-unit. Through a series of bankruptcies and sales, Lionel now owns all that stuff and has reissued a bunch of it as Lionel HO trains. But among those Model Power products... that same Marx four wheel switcher, with a new drive unit. They even sold a version of it with a crude DCC sound unit.
I may had gotten out of model trains because of money reasons when I was younger but I never got rid of my Morrison hoppers as that's my last name, it part of the family and you can't sell family xD
