MEGA Vintage & New Locomotives Mail Unboxing - And So Much More! 

As someone who lives in the US and loves British Steam Locomotives, those Pullman Coaches, Hornby A4s, and especially that GWR City Class locomotive were absolutely gorgeous! Whoever sent that, that was a spectacular gift!

“Well folks in todays video..” always a staple when I’m watching model Train vids

Those British locomotives and cars are works of art.

The Dec is definitely a PRR I1 class 2-10-0 loco. The high mount headlight, belpaire firebox, and center mount number plate are dead giveaways. The Pennsy Tender is an 210P75 or 210P85 "coast to coast" tender. The Pennys was very fond of running large tenders with lots of coal with smaller water tanks. They used water pick ups on most tenders with track pans throughout the system

The movie “The Train” is an excellent movie a later version a couple years ago was The Monument Men. Both are about the Nazis in WWll stealing all types of art as they retreated from France. A scene in The Train is one of the best if not the best train wreck scene. The director had cameras set all around where the action was to occur. He ad them all in place but still had one left and not sure what to do with it,(as the story goes) ? So he had a crew member dig a hole and aim the camera up at the tracks. You’ll know the scene when it happens! Enjoy the movie.

Hiya OO is 1/76 because when Hornby Dublo (Mecanno) started producing British outline model trains back in the 1930’s they had to enlarge HO (Half O) to accomodate the huge motors of the time. The reason being that the British loading gauge is smaller than the European one. So in the UK we’ve stuck with 1:76 which is 4mm to the foot rather than HO’s 3.5mm/foot or 1/87 scale. It means of course that the gauge is too narrow. So some really serious 1/76 modellers build their own track and rolling stock with a gauge of 18.83mm rather than the OO/HO 16.5mm. This is called ProtoFour (P4) or Scalefour. Another gauge with 1/76 scale is EM gauge which is 18mm gauge, I believe it was the first attempt to produce something closer to true 4mm though the gauge is still 0.83mm too narrow - which is where P4 and ScaleFour came into the picture. Looks like you need to build a UK outline layout in OO 😂 GWR City Class is a 4-4-0 rather than a 4-4-2 Atlantic. This one’s classmate is of course « City of Truro » which is said to have achieved the first 100mph in 1903. The first official 100mph of course was LNER A3 4472 Flying Scotsman.

It’s like Christmas at SMT! So much to unbox. The generosity of your viewers is indicative of how much your videos are appreciated.

The A4 you visited is Dominion of Canada, the model version you were sent is what it was like before it came Back to the UK. The blue A4 is Mallard, housed in our own NRM, the fastest steam locomotive in the world

5:54 The Train ( 1964 ) Burt Lancaster Paul Scofield One of top two train movies ever recorded. Von Ryan's Express ( 1965 ) being the other. Don't miss the Spitfire scene.

CHEEZUS! You got over $2000 in model trains... them English locomotive models "Double O" scale are over $200 apiece... You got someone shining light on you. Yeah, your grandma will be impressed! Awesome haul! John BC

Love those cars with the lamps inside, they give out such a comfy vibe.

We’ll worth the wait for the major unboxing, nice smt

after some 60 years of running electric trains im still learning of model trains ive not heard of before!

You are such a lucky person. Those pullman coaches from Britain are expensive!

It’s always a good day when smt mainline posts

Remember that the Deltic model is OO scale (1:76.2), so putting it next to an HO DDA40X is not a fair comparison. HO Deltic model would be 7/8 the dimensions of the OO model.

The amount of British stuff sent by that donor is close to £1000 (1650 CAN) worth of items!

That Decapod 2-10-0 steam loco is a Bowser I believe. It's usually a Pennsylvania RR livery (maybe exclusively) They were offered as kits and RTR. My Dad gave me one when I was a kid like a dummy and I wrecked it promptly. Later in life I found out the kits existed. I built the Prr K-4 Pacific from the same company as an experiment to see if I could do it and it came out nice. I went back to pick up the Decapod kit and Bowser stopped making steam loco kits unfortunately. I did pick a RTR up on Ebay recently for nostalgia sake, haven't even tested if it runs. It's just nice to have one in 1 piece.

It's always just a feeling of pure joy when Smt posts

What an awesome video and train haul lot of great stuff.enjoy wizard.👌👍😇

Harrison, your brand is "Nice young man"! I so enjoy your manner. You ALWAYS prevail. 👍

A Dominion of Canada. Well done. Now your a connoisseur. Welcome to the DofC owners club👍🚂🇨🇦

always a great unboxing when fan mails comes in, never know what your gonna get. Great Vid Harrison

Wow, Wow, Wow, I am blown away by the genorosity of your subs. Just shows how much you are helping folks out there, bro. You are killin it and this is how people respond, don't stop what you're doing. It works!!! 🤜🤛

The Hornby stuff - wow. Some nice models and worth a fair bit.

Wow! It's a galactic arrival of models!👍

Man oh man Harrison really nice stuff these guys sent to you.

Loving that British stuff! Nice haul, thanks for sharing.

That was quite the mail call Harrison!! Nice looking bunch of stuff you got there!!

the incredible detail you can get in model trains today is simply amazing!

This is definitely one of the best unboxings you've ever done. Amazing video as always.

British steam loco's are the finest looking trains in the world.

that little center cab is a General Electric 44 tonner. The GE center cabs are my favorite locomotives as they have ran regularly on a local small railroad locally to me (Arcade and Attica). I would love to find a full die cast one like that, never seen one before. I have a later Bachmann one which I plan on painting into the orange Arcade and Attica paint scheme.

I know a fair bit of background on your new British additions City of London is a Great Western 3400 class (known as City class). A member of that class called "City of Truro" supposedly did 100 mph in 1905. City of Coventry is a Princess Coronation class, formerly of the LMS. The first batch were modified for a streamlined casing. City of Coventry was one of a later batch that was built as originally designed, with no accommodation for streamlining. The engine from the Golden Arrow pack is a Merchant Navy class, in a later rebuilt condition. Originally, these had an airsmoothed casing (like the Battle of Britain, but larger) and were the first class of Oliver Bullied's pacifics. The Battle of Britain class was one of two mechanically identical classes that were built because the Merchant Navies were a bit large and heavy for some lines. Both the Battle of Britains and the Merchant Navies were responsible in their day for hauling the Southern Railway's various luxury Pullman services ( such as the Goled Arrow and Bornmouth Belle) of which your exquisite passenger cars depict. Dominion of Canada, restored to an LNER like condition, is the locomotive you saw in the museum. Your model of her is in late BR condition. Mallard actually lives in York, England at the Railway Museum there. Hope you found this informative!

38:10 I had a similar issue with my Bachmann Hershey's U36B (bought in a train set lot from my local hobby store) and my Bachmann Spectrum Amtrak F40PH (bought from eBay). It's likely a bearing seized up causing the drive linkage to slip.

Wow what a great haul. I look forward to see what you do with the projects engines and the buildings

That New Haven is a 1950 Electric Passenger engine from ConnDot, Connecticut Department Of Transportation that ran into Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Very rare...

This was one of the best mail in hauls yet! You always get great stuff, but the locomotives in this one were really special. Always enjoy watching, its like Christmas morning lol

Great video as always, intrigued by the Cromwell car

Those British trains are absolutely beautiful. I must admit I much prefer the steam locomotives. Great video too i watch every one well done

Holy cow! That is double my entire colection that you just received in packages! Keep up the great work smt!

Love the Camelback. I always wanted one in HO scale but never found one I can afford. The BL 2 as well I find them quite lovely. Has a lot of character, even though the real locomotive was a bit mid. I model mostly British stuff, but I really love the old American steam. Can't wait for you to fix them and bring them all back to life.

Very nice stuff! I like the Conrail and the Amtrak.

2:26 Early AHM effort at a non - standard tank car. 2:33 EMD SD24 by Atlas.....Yes 2:40 G.E.44 tonner

Wow! Such generosity. You have some loyal viewers Harrison.

Excellent surprises SMT you are loved

that 40-ton switcher is actually a General Electric 44-tonner

Wow those are really amazing additions to your collection I especially love that Mallard 👍

‘The Train’ is a great movie, well worth the watch! Great unboxing!

SMT has to be my favorite Channel

The Emd gp40 is nice

Another great unboxing. I was impressed with the Golden Arrow at the end of the video. The detail and interior lighting are very impressive. Keep the vids coming. From Texas

On Proto 2000 you slip off the coupler box from the driver put the body on then slide the coupler box through the body. I do this all the time the rounded part of the coupler box goes in the facing the track. Proto 2000 is the heartbeat of my layout.

Babe, wake up. A new SMT Mainline video dropped.

Wow you got some amazing looking locomotives. Some very good brands concor etc. I like the variety you got. Very awesome

Amazing 👏 nice train 🚆 👍

Great video i love the things you get keep up the great work

Nice haul Harrison. Anytime we get some Nerf floof is a happy bonus. SD24 is easily identified by the semi circular turbo bulge behind the cab on the engineer or fireman side. Obviously an Italian important from Kenneth as it labeled fragilly. One of those interiors looks to be a combine coach.

Smt’s train lot unboxing videos cure all model railroaders problems

ooh, aahhh, and WOW!by the box full.

It's fun to see that quite a few of the locomotives you got in this video I just got at a train show! I got a C&NW proto 2000 SD7. I got 2 AHM locomotives: Mo-pac rs11 and a FEC BL2!

All the equipment that has lights in them, doing led conversion. Also installing capacitors to them as well. more realistic. Lights remain on when train power is off. As capacitors discharge they fade out. Have great day

Reminds me of when I went to see 'Dominion of Canada', such a cold day in March.

So cool. Christmas in October. 🎊🎈🎉

Wow Harrison, so many great locomotives.

They look cool. I'm jealous. I wish I had viewers send me trains. I wish I had those British trains. There so expensive to buy.

The movie "The Train" is famous for the TTTE braking and wheelslip sfx.

A bunch of nice items you were sent. Enjoyed the video.

What a great video plenty to fix and a whole British fleet and thank you ken for your generosity I don't know much about British locamotives and think you gave alot of us a new itch 😂

"The Train" is actually a really good movie!

Nice find! I just found something of my own a few days ago: an Athearn BN 6947 SD9 (at least I think that that's the road number, I'm too lazy to go and find it on the layout). Apparently, at least according to the book on Athearn that I checked out at the library, it is rare and hence worth at least $64. A lot more than the $12 I paid for it!

Excellent movie, hope you enjoyed it.

Wow, I just can't get over the amount of stuff people send you for free....

I love A4s. I think I have 5 of them, a mix of the old Bachman branch line, plus a couple of newer Hornby’s, including a gold plated special edition mallard. I also have a model of LNER Class W1 that is streamlined like the A4. Streamlined locos always look good

Something to add regarding the Proto 2000 locomotives: I have a handful of them, all but one new in the box like yours. Every single one of them has suffered from split gears, and they will exhibit those exact symptoms. They run fine, start making a little noise, then suddenly lock up. Fortunately, replacement gears are readily available and inexpensive. Otherwise they are nice running machines. Hopefully you find that information useful. By the way, those British locomotives are really beautiful, especially the City of Coventry and the Appledore. Hopefully you are able to get the Deltic figured out. I’ll be looking forward to that video!!! Cheers from Wisconsin!!!

I recently bought a Proto 2000 SW9/SW1200 from the local hobby store in Madison, WI. it's called Madison Hobby Stop BTW. And the thing runs perfectly.

Thanks~ you did unreal unboxing. have a good day! =))

I bought a "lot" off eBay. Just got it. I am a fan of Hyce he's a engineer at the D&RGW and 1 of the cars in the lot was a D&RGW gondola. It turns out it's a 1938 VARNEY. And also coal car thats a 1961 VARNEY. The rest are bachmann or unbranded. It also has a babe Ruth sound car. Added a few new road names too. The D&RGW the Virginian SOO LINE Burlington Northern. The cars mainly need couplers. All great condition.

If you think those Pullman coaches are fabulous, you should see the ones Golden Age Models make! They are a sight to behold with their all brass construction, springing, and ball bearings on the axles!

Beautiful sd7!!!!!!!!! Old proto 2000 are fine.

Been doing some adding up, Kenneth sent you well over £1000 worth of stuff - Amazing!!

Hello what a surprise another SMT video

Another great video. Idk if you have 1 . When repairing some of these engines and things. You should invest in a ultra sonic cleaner. They are amazing to work with. Cleans everything. Gets the spots you can't get to. Keep up great work!

this is awesome keep up the good work!

Serenity, we have runners! Quite the haul, Harrison. Hornby's do look a little large for HO. Cheers from eastern TN

Great video as always

Wow that was really nice of you from Guy from the museum in Europe to send you those European trains really cool that you have an HO scale model of the worlds fastest steam locomotive Mallard

I can't believe you got a lot of British trains with this lot

SD7 is the first loco you shown that i had. My kids thought i was crazy carrying on

'The Train' is an excellent movie.

3:06 is the Fleischmann 'americanized' model of a Dutch US loco with the buffers removed. That is a sweet model and runs like a dream.

The "40ton"is a 44 ton switcher

That "40 ton" switcher is actually a 44 ton switcher from Spectrum.

The bl2 was from the Chicago eastern illinois railroad not Chicago and northwestern

the BL-2 was a C&EI (Chicago & Eastern Ilinios) engine blue and orange.

yay more unboxing videos

20:13 AHM Alco RS2 Main difference between the RS2 & RS3 is no battery boxes on either side of the short hood in front of the cab.

The interiors are designed for Athearn smooth side passenger cars. Coach and Diner

I like your steam locos they are so cool I really like that Camelback

Now you really need to add overhead power to your street line. A video of you switching one of the trolleys to take power from this would be awesome.
