Thank you very much Chris for making this video. I learned a lot about the new CAB 3 and the App. Those CN F3’s are a beautiful paint scheme. However, I fully understand using them to “repower” older TMCC equipment. Maybe when you get that project complete, you could possibly make another video of the new units. Thanks again for everything you do to promote our great hobby.

Awesome video, Chris, I really like those CN F3’s. It seems I am constantly either searching for a particular engine or the cars to go with a particular engine, lol! Enjoyed listening to your experience with the Base 3 and the app. The layout is really looking fantastic! Bill B.

What is your biggest complaint about the new Base 3? Besides no good remote like the I 90 And what is 1 of your favorite things about the new Base 3?

@jacksonthomas1851 Месяц назад

Have you thought about joining the NMRA? Because with this project you are thinking about would be a good idea for something related to the achievement program.

So with the cab 3, you can still quill the whistle… correct? I was concerned about that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That 2nd A unit is flashing a trouble code for smoke. I know a guy at the train club that would be happy to fix that for you, possibly even help with the shell swap, since you will have to adapt over the LED lighting and whatnot. 😄

Very nice! Those CN units are quite good looking engines and they would look fine heading a CN streamliner. The layout video that the viewer sent you is just a great set-up. It is nice to have that kind of space to build something like that. Unfortunately, my basement has been subdivided, so I have the length in one area, but I had to make my layout an 'L' shape, to go around the added room. Either way, an excellent video, as always.

I honestly want some of those, they look really cool!

Thanks for another great, and informative, video Chris! The CN F units look and sound really good! I especially appreciated Craig’s viewer mail and questions about weathering and ballasting track, and of course your response. I am getting close to that step on my new layout so the information was definitely timely! Keep up the great work!

@Dadified86 Месяц назад

Great find with those F3s! I’ve often wondered about doing something similar with older engines… but then I’m left wondering what to do with the “leftovers”. Even if you fully reassembled them I imagine it’d be harder to sell the older internals on a newer shell? At least that’s my assumption.

@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877 Месяц назад

Great vidio, iv used a wash of rust color water base acrylic paint and hand brushed the whole track then twice on tie covered area leaving side ballast lighter in shade , use a big black permanent marker on the sides of outer rails , clean track and apply no-rust grease on top of rail. Great for track covered up outside on the Yard layout. Thanks for the morning coffee...

Thanks for featuring those Canadian National F3's on your great layout, Chris. Living in Canada it's always nice to see Canadian railway power leading a consist of freight or passenger cars on a top of the hobby layout like yours. Thanks a lot. The A-A units are really good looking. Hope you keep them so I can see them again

@wayneantoniazzi2706 Месяц назад

Beautiful engines Chris! You can't beat those old First Generation paint schemes and CN's was a classic. If they were mine I'd go shopping for some CN passenger cars, either streamline or heavyweight , it wouldn't make any difference to me. Besides, Trainz is bound to get some sometime, right? And York's coming up, there might be some there. But hey, they're yours, do what you like with 'em! (I used your CTAT code for a Trainz purchase, thanks for providing one!) Thanks for posting!

@ZainesElectricTrainz Месяц назад

Beautiful locos, i really enjoyed the Viewer Mail. I'm looking forward to Craigs progress!

@craigstrains55 Месяц назад

Great looking F3 units... Thanks for the track weathering tips.

The more electronics the better

Wonderful video Chris!

@donpeck4347 Месяц назад

Chris, hit the TR button twice to get to the screen you want to build a lash up.

@joeDeLude Месяц назад

They are great passenger cars thanks for selling them.

@buecomet831 Месяц назад

I always love to see the carbody engines on anyone's layout, as long as u have any of the Carbody diesels I am sold.

@stephenlatus7712 Месяц назад

Do you think Lionel will do the F3s in Vision Line?

@davidkoehler136 Месяц назад

Nice looking F units

@josephmassell9922 Месяц назад

Very cool layout.

@frankmarkovcijr5459 Месяц назад

I am so tired of all of the electronic in today's toy trains. Needless complication and unreliability as well as expensive repairs nothing's good for the hobby in my opinion. Running trains on your cell phone my God isn't everybody hooked into their cell phone 23 hours a day already. So much nori it borders on cacophony. Stupid phone

@christsogaugetrains Месяц назад

You’re not wrong at all . I still run most my stuff in old mode with transformer.

@northpennvalleysteamrailroad Месяц назад

I actually understand that. The amount of electronics in model trains today is overwhelming. Sometimes I wished the insides would stay how they were in the late 90s. Some good models came out in that decade from Lionel, MTH, among others.

@frankmarkovcijr5459 Месяц назад

@@northpennvalleysteamrailroad that is why I like Williams locomotives. They have only one circuit board and when that circuit board goes out I'm going to have all of my engines converted with rectifiers so they just run forward only no bells no whistles no nothing. I don't need to hear any of that crap hola.

@rayhankazianga6817 Месяц назад

Okay frank we get it

@genemanno1533 Месяц назад

Well stated seems the trains world is heading more and more toward electronic gismos. Sad, sick, what ever. I’ll stay with trains that can’t talk back, don’t break handling them, and stay quiet other than noise on rail contact. The expense of newer stuff is a joke for china made cheap junk. No wonder children have no interest when parents can afford the obseen prices to even expose them to trains. I see a few guys with kids being involved with used post war trains that can be had a reasonable prices. Collector guys see nothing wrong with hundreds even thousands of dollars for an engine……. That’s just nuts. Realistic layouts with hundreds of hours and mega dollars is interesting to see in videos but not the objective of the vast majority watching. Time, money, and space are not in abundance for my hobby. Nor is it necessary to be beyond reasonable limits. But fun, working on, modifying, and enjoyment is. These are just toys😊.
