MEGA Vintage Locomotives Mail Unboxing - And So Much More! 

The customized SMT loco is utterly fabulous, along w/ everything else!

Happy Birthday SMT! Great unboxing video. Awesome folks sending you all those goodies. Have a great day.

Genuine Rhode Islander here, Providence & Worcester fills me with nostalgia when I was into trains when I was younger, and it is a great little 2nd class railway, its a shame they were bought out a few years ago by the Genesee & Wyoming conglomerate, and they no longer use their 2010s golden era Brown and Red liveries, my one thing I will say the pronunciation of Worcester is really more like "wooster" but I mean not everyone is from my state.. I will say if you really are into railroad history like I used to be, P&W did recently buy those Dash 8's but also a small fleet of SD70ACE's from Florida East Coast just before they got bought out themselves, and even if their track isn't as good as many class ones, they operate really an incredible fleet of engines for such a small state. My personal favorite of P&W's fleets WAS their MLW M-420's they operated in the early 2000s, because I am a sucker for Canadian Comfort Cabs. Keep up the content, love from the Ocean State!

What fun had by all ages....Thanks for the Train demonstration, I don't think I have ever been introduced to a better Birthday Party congrats.

FYI, at 13:00 Coil Car are one of the ways 20-40 ton steel coils are transported. What makes this one interesting is that it is a insulated covered type of car. It is used to keep coils from the elements. The lids are designed to be taken off by an EOT overhead crane and stacked if needed. By a closeable tongs or HEP, tools used to move steel coils

Your videos are also so informative with so many different railroad companies. And as a Brit, myself thinking ''Which ones are factual companies, and which ones are fictional companies?''.

Love the Illinois central locomotive and rolling stock!!! Just started collecting the line of rolling stock! Thank you for showing us all the fantastic ho scale stock

Lots of cool stuff Harrison! To answer the question about the Intermountain coil car, the prototypes are used to transport finished steel coils (each car can handle 4 to 6 rounds of steel coils, BNSF crews here refer them as "slinkies") and can either be run on mixed freight or unit trains (BNSF operates them on their trains that run between Memphis, Tennessee and Tulsa, Oklahoma as well as unit steel coil car trains). The unit steel coil car trains that operate here on the Thayer Subdivision aren't terribly long, only 2500 to 3000 feet in length, but are very heavy and usually operate with 3 locomotives with a single unit leading and 2 DPU pushers on the rear. The Intermountain car (as with most all manufacturers that produce HO scale steel coil cars) features removable hoods so that the car can be run with either the hoods on or off, also several manufacturers produce steel coil loads for these cars should you want to add loads to the car. Anyway, sorry for the rambling comment, but hope this helps! That Montana Rail Link SD70ACe is awesome!

I always enjoy watching your unboxing videos! there always seems to be some nice surprises! The coil cars are for transporting rolls of steel,

FYI at 19:30 , that is a cow calf unit similar to the EMD TR-1 setup. It is a cabless engoine mated to another loco to give more power for switching . kinda like a b-unit for other loco types

For some reason I enjoy these unboxing videos the most on this channel. Always fun to see what comes in the mail.

Happy Birthday Harrison. You have some very nice equipment there. I love the SMT MAINLINE Berkshire. All of the locomotives look awesome. Enjoy your birthday and give Nerf Cat a scratch between the ears.

On the Japanese NYC there is an actual "concertina" coupling - at least that's what I've heard them called by some Europeans - I haven't seen any other locos or passenger car models that have a very realistic connection to represent the accordion looking connection used to walk between cars. As a kid, I always liked going from car to car on the train, it was just something I was fascinated with - I was a railfan at 5 & I'm old enough to remember steam power, though I really loved the diesels. I got to ride a fair number of trains in the 50s & 60s.

Some day someone will be out exploring the woods near your house and find a random bluebox locomotive and wonder "how did this get here?" 😅😅 Dang racoons......

What a Birthday/Christmas gift haul. I’m so glad we get to see them run. I love the sound of the Katie Steel Wheels.

I will not deny it, that SD70ACe and Dash-8 are a great gift and above all they stand out in the fleet And not to mention that Berkshire

You have some very generous viewers. Love that 'Hershey's' tank car, and the SD24 locomotive. I have an IHC 'Presidential' series SD24 that I found at an antiques emporium a few months ago..and yesterday at a toy/train show I scored a complete set of Bachmann HO scale 'American Bicentennial' boxcars, new old stock in the sealed original boxes. The same dealer also had an IHC 'Presidential' SD24 locomotive exactly like the one I already have; 'new old stock' sealed in it's original box at a great price I passed on it but just may go back today to see if he still has it. Per this video I now have your shipping address so I just may send some train pieces your way as a thanks for great videos.

Thanks Harrison and to tour generous fans. This is such a great video.

Thankyou very much Harrison I have learnt so much from your videos , I live in th land down under keep up the good work I'm 71 years old and enjoy watching you repair locomotives you have taught an old dog some new tricks thankyou.

If Nerf Cat loves those treats lika our Creamsicle does - he's going to be ONE VERY HAPPY KITTY!!!!!

One of my favorite vids because this is the first one i watched when I came across SMT mainline

Finally, that Birkshire is a real catch!!! Maybe you can get Cory (SP?) to send you a set of those decals so you can create a few MORE "SMT MAINLINE" locos!!! And....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Great unboxing. There were a few things in the video that I can help on the identification. The Athearn Chicago Belt hopper is from the EJ&E (Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern) or known in the Chicago area as the "J". The next thing is the coil car. These are used to haul coil steel under the removable hoods. As for the Providence and Worchester railroad, it is a New England area railroad. The last thing that I noticed was the cigar band NYC locomotive. It is an Alco FA locomotive, and I would like to find out more about the Japanese company that made it. My estimate on the build date on the Alco FA would be sometime between the 1960s to the 1970s.

Happy Birthday, SMT! Can’t wait to see the Providence and Worcester Locomotive run.

One idea that I think would be fun is that you use the big boy to fundraise for a non profit railroad. How cool would it be using a model train to fundraise for a full size train. I know a non profit railroad that I really like and support is the Sumpter Valley Railroad

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉 The FA is by Trains Miniature. Classic Model Trains has a video on it. They sold mostly cars in the 60's-70's. A lot of the "billboard" reefers you see at train shows were made by them. Mr. Corey did an outstanding job on that steamer. The green lights are the classification lights. Back in the timetable days the color green would denote a scheduled passenger train with more train sections following, IE: more passengers than could fit on the normal train, so they'd run another behind it. White, which would mean the last train of the group or an "extra" non scheduled train. Most freights ran as "extras". Or red, meaning the loco was reversing or had an emergency stop. The last Alco's built at the Montreal Locomotive Works still had them.

HARRISON: I was born in Worcester, Ma. The Providence Worcester line went between the two cities. BTW: It’s pronounced Wuh-ster but if you’re from over here in New England… Wuh-stah…

You have some very generous viewers. Really liking those piggybacks! Although most of these seem to be runners, I’m looking forward to any overhauls you’re going to do.

8:14 Definitely a brand new paint job

Great job on that SMT Mainline train, Corey! What a superb gift to you! He really appreciates your skills to award you such a tremendous gift! The Worcester (pronounced Woor/ches/ter or in Boston area Wooh/stah!! Haha😂)! And the Worker’s train…wowowow!

Wow, that Berkshire is outstanding. Love the train running with the Soo Line steam era caboose.

This would have to be my favorite unboxing video yet! I love all the locomotives!

12:50 Evans coil cars carry rolls of finished steel to manufacturing plants for new automobiles and appliances.

13:46 wow what a beautiful unit! I just got my first Genesis unit, a rare Norfolk Southern. That’s a gorgeous gem please enjoy and it’s crisp sounds and operation! 😮❤

SMT, WOW... 31:55 I guess with your power, anything is possible. The NYC FA... its magnets seem a bit weak. Clean the contacts up a bit, and if it still seems underpowered, yes, the magnets. It does have beautiful weathering on the shell. The 2-8-4 Berkshire is fabulous. Did you also notice it has an operable front coupler? The N-Scale treasures, also "wow"... Those goodies for Nerfcat, crazy! Your holey box... I guess the animals are railroaders, too? When you mentioned seeing Oreo cookies scattered around, I laughed! Awesome locomotives... I agree with the many other comments about the rest... Just plain WOW! Your fan base is great! That is why you can be proud of it all! John

Some great fans! Nice

Enjoyed watching you run your new locomotives....really liked your SMT steamer!!!!!!

Great selection of locomotives. I especially like the essentials worker's one and the smt steam locomotive. I do not have an ho scale anymore, no room but I have enough n scale trains, track and accessories but have no time to set it up. Looking forward to more n scale videos in the near future. Have a great week.

Wow 🤩 what an amazingly generous haul 👌 love that SMT Berkshire too it’s awesome 👏

Happy birthday, SMT! And a great unboxing video, that SMT Mainline Berkshire will be a star on your layout!

That wasn’t a jack in the box, it was jacked up in the box. Great channel, love the engine revivals.

When I watch you open up at herb blue boxes makes me feel like a kid on Christmas

I love trains and I would love to see your friends every day and you do good with them

Nothing wrong with that consist. Happy, Happy, to you sir

What I find interesting on your videos is how easily things work

The more I watch him the more I want to take out my British railway setup again

Glad you liked everything❤

Glad to see you got the berkshire if you hit #3 the taillights and front marker lights come on I believe I added them . If you have any questions email me. 1 thing try changing cv 124 to 0 if the train chugs at a low speed. Thanks for everything.

35:57 I like that comin around the mountain locomotive

Hello Harrison,How I enjoy it. That you get so many beautiful locomotive controlled, I`ve been a member of your channel for a long time, When i come home from my shift at the NMBS Railway in Belgium( You know I`m a driver,) Then put i turn on my Laptop and then i will follow your channel This broadcast was about an hour, But it is also exciting for you what you are wearing, I think those Machines are real power patsers, I once stood in front of a level crossing there came 5 units with 150 wagons, 1 loco in the middle with another 150 wagons and 2 loco,s at the end of the train, Then i sometimes think how small we are compared to your Country, I always enjoy it that you can get them to talk again Harrison, You Model Railway Is Beautiful,Greetings from your Buddy Henk from Belgium Border❤😀😉

Nerf cat is literally god himself in a cat that was captured in a really derp position

Also Providence & Worcester is in my neck of the woods, beautiful locomotives

I've been watching you for over a year or better I see your layout has improved much nice job

SMT! That was awesome, most of those locomotives run. Even the old athearn blue box engines run and the old riverossi engines run well....... nice!!!. That steam locomotive with sound!!!! I was blown away by that.

You have a lot of admirers, you must be a very nice guy!

🥳 Good to see so many subscribers sending parcels for your birthday, Harrison. 😊 Time to get the locomotives in order by Road Names from A to Z for easier access during livestreams. I wonder where they found that Canadiana boxcar, I'm missing one from my collection -- just kidding, but I have quite a few to pull behind the Canadiana locomotive you sent me. Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍

Providence & Worchester RR is a regional railroad that runs between Providence & Worchester Massachussets in the NE USA.

I just got a 1960's-70's Gilbert American Flyer S-gauge set. Unfortunately it was missing the track and transformer, so I am still waiting on those. This will be my first train I ever own! :)

I like all your model trains You're so perfect and special😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happy birthday Man. Always fun to see an unboxing.Keep up the good work :)

Beautiful worker's train ~ Raillink! Wow.

I'm a bit late, but happy birthday! Also, the Providence and Worcester railroad is a class 2 railroad that operates in the US states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

KCS top passenger train was the Southern Belle. My grandfather worked for the Louisiana & Arkansas, which was merged into the KCS, as a machinist and my father paid for college by working as a locomotive fireman

The raccoons just wanted to make a layout lol jk

As a Milwaukee local they have Walthers, Sommerfelds, South Side Trains, Hiawatha Hobbies and Happy Hobby. Of you ever come out let me know and maybe i can take you to all the places.

I'm your fan you make cool contents and you have cool trains❤❤❤😊🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤❤❤

The Lionel Christmas flat car might be from an old Marx HO mold. Model Power bought the Marx moldings when Marx sold his company in 1972, and later on Lionel bought the molds when Model Power went under.

Happy Birthday! these guys have a big heart sending you these great trains and the kitty treats :)

Im glad peter's box wasn't invaded by racoons 😂

Happy birthday Harrison I hope you have a great birthday party

What a fantastic Birthday Bundle. Happy Birthday, great video.

13:35 Atlas SD24 with details and a special paint scheme.

8:40 Is that Shrek? Lol. Great haul. Very generous community.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I remembered when i first encountered your channel before it was Shortened to SMT. But it gets me everything when people try to pronounce Worcester. It's more like rooster but replace the r with a w. Also, it's Providence, not province. Don't worry I use to say province when I first saw them.

You're definitely going to have a lot of fun with that SMT Mainline Berkshire

Happy late birthday Harrison!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMT🎉🎉🎉❤FROM SWEDEN

Kinda sounds like that Athern linked pair of UP switchers is a dual motor. That would explain the wires going to the cabless unit.

Awesome Train unboxing smt happy birthday 🎂

I hope that this channel reach 1 M soon

since i have been watching train videos on you tube and seen all the trains my fellow model rail roaders have makes me feel like i have no trans at all, and i have a bunchLOL! well when you are into trains you always find a new one you want to add to what you have!

Raccoons and trains? Interesting!

13:19 So thet "van" you have it's actually called a panel truck. It's based off a Chevy Suburban. There basically the same thing. In fact they share the same engine and and body style as the regular 3100 pickup.

Soo Line is my jam! I sonsulted w/them in the 80's!

The mega jackpot. Very nice.

What a fun vid to watch, especially at the end‼️👍👍

Wow, that was great. Happy Birthday too. Cheers mate.

27:56 New York Central Alco FA2.

I grew up in Des Moines and have been to Hobby Heaven many times :)

The p&w locomotive is actually ex santa fe, one of a few to exsist that either didnt get scrapped or repainted into bnsf and p&w actually runs in my home state of mass, ive seen their units on rail cams, and their paint is striking

Happy birthday Harrison. Nice haul and that one hopper is an Elgin Joliet and Eastern railroad with the slogan around not through Chicago Outer Belt. Now part of Borg North 1 ( aka Canadian National). Going to have to finish the video later because my old backside can't stay up so late but geeze louise this is definitely a roads surrounding me with the EJ&E,Soo Line and Chicago Central. LOL much love for the Nerf Cat. Obviously watch out for Oreo fueled model railroading raccoons though I had to laugh as about 8 years ago on Easter helping bro get plastic eggs out for the nieces and nephew but of course 2 teenage girls getting ready meant no time for eggs before services and brunch so we returned about 2 in the afternoon to discover we had unleashed the sugar fueled squirrelpocolypse on the town as the squirrels chewed open the eggs and ate all the candy. Turns out squirrels however do not like lime tootsie rolls.

What an awesome group you have here Harrison. Very generous bunch of folks. Happy Birthday! Looking forward to seeing more in the future and definitely looking forward to seeing some more N scale stuff. Thanks for the link to the N scale Amtrak set you showed me as well.

4:13 Elign Joilet and Eastern actually that's what the reporting mark EJ&E is.

You got all that from viewers? For your birthday? Wow! My birthday is in February! Ha! Ha! Congrats! So thoughtful of them.

The KCS observation car "Good Cheer" resides in the rail yard where I work and keep my rail cars. It is currently on a flat car under going restoration.

If you see a box full of scale train products you hit the jackpot

That Providence and Worcester Loco is cool that the railroad company in my state of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. You have a Loco that's owned by the same company genise and Wyoming your orange and black one. That's paint on The p&w is their old scheme the new scheme is the orange and black. Glad someone sent you one finally.

Envious of some of those diesels! Especially that BNSF SD40-2!

The Providence & Worcester Railroad (P&W) was started in 1844. In 1892, it was leased by the New York, New Haven and Hartford (NYNH&H). In 1968, when the NYNH&H was merged into the Penn Central (PC), the PC sought to terminate the PW and abandon its trackage. However, a group of P&W stockholders took the PCC in front of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to ask them to cancel the PC lease of the P&W and allow them to run as an independent railroad. The ICC agreed, and thus the P&W became independent again. In the 1980's is had grown to the point where it was able to purchase lines from the Boston & Main (B&M) and PC's successor, Conrail. The company remained profitable while a lot of New England's railroads were "going under". P&W was acquired by the Genesee & Wyoming railroad group in 2016, and remains profitable today. Currently, it operates approximately 612 miles (985 Kilometers) in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Geeze....how much railroad trivial crap do I have stored in my head....

Wisconsin trains were TMR, BN, C&NW, n then Soo Line, Wisconsin Central, Wisconsin Southern, GB&Western, UP n a bunch (dozens) of small lines. Oh, CN n CP, too! 😂
