(9:08) Conductor says “ next stop PARIS “ And Someone say @my dear we arrive in 10 minutes are you ready? Lady says “ you always wanted me to hurry up. That’s it Enjoy 😉 Hugues from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you Hugo, this is great!! I used to speak a little German back in college but if you don't use it consistently, you lose it which is a shame. Thank you again for this translation.
Truly remarkable engines, Chris! So unique and detailed. Love the whistles! Very European sound from another era. It reminds of the British WWII movies that show up on t.v. now and them. Very special model engines, for sure. And what a fantastic gift from your wife! If this is to be the last video for 2021, have a great Christmas Holiday season with family and friends. Looking forward to more in the New Year!
Great looking locomotives Chris, they really are beautiful and I love all the brass piping, trim, etc. Both very cool! Thanks for sharing and have a safe, blessed holiday season.
Hey from Germany ✌🏻 I love your videos 😁 The dialogue from the S 3/6 says 10:20 “(Name), Ich brauche noch mehr Achslageröl” that means “(name), I still need more axle bearing oil”
The discrepancy of differing scales in O gauge comes down to the gauge of what we call 'O scale'. Technically speaking, 1/43 is most accurate because that fits the gauge of our accepted "O gauge" rails. For quarter inch scale (1/48th) our rails should be about 1/8th" closer together, this is where the Proto 48 guys come in. They stick with 1/4 inch scale which forces the rail gauge to be adjusted closer together for consistency. They recognize that our accepted O gauge track is actually too wide for true O scale (unless we build slightly larger models like 1/43rd). A Big Boy in 1/43rd scale would be approximately 1 1/8" longer and of course a bit taller and wider, it would be kind of cool. European makers recognized this and in order to keep the accepted gauge of rail, they built in 1/43rd and 1/45th to accommodate the commonly available track systems in both Europe and America. This accepted O gauge track of course started out in the toy train market way back around the turn of the previous century with Lionel and Marklin seemingly coming to an agreed upon gauge. However, 1/43rd, 1/45th and 1/48th ARE close enough to enjoy running together so enjoy!! Beautiful locomotives!!! I too love those whistles, they sound a bit like little Pennsy B6 switchers.
Chris, thank you for another wonderful video! It's great to see how your layout has evolved and these European locomotives are both wonderful. The green locomotive is my favorite of the two but both are wonderful. I enjoy your channel and enthusiasm! Merry Christmas to you and your family and looking forward to railroading with you next year. Take care man!
Honestly can we just give Chris a round of applause for finding these because I looked forever and only found three European o gauge steamers so nice job rbp. 👏👏👏
Wow, great video Chris. Being new to the hobby I did wonder why there were so many rare trains, and why so many limited run trains. It makes sense now that you have explained it like that. My first train engine was a GE legacy that was built to order by our friends at Train World. Our Pennsylvania S1 trains will certainly be a treasured piece to any collection. Merry Christmas my friend and the very best wishes to the new year.
Beautiful engines! Yeah, the whistles seem a little odd by American standards, but in an odd way they work on European ones. Makes me think of mystery, espionage, Hercule Poirot and James Bond, know what I mean? I'm not surprised they, like so many other MTH or Lionel products, are hard to find. The "hot" items get snapped up quick and then take years to resurface. I wanted a Jersey Central Camelbck for years, MTH or Lionel, it didn't matter, but you just don't see them anywhere. I finally found a Lionel CNJ Camel, paid more for it than I wanted to but as I said, you just don't see them. They disappear quickly! Fun video! By the way, if you've never seen "Murder On The Orient Express," the GOOD one from 1974, do so! Great European steam action in that one! Ever see a steam engine "waltz" out of the station? You will in this film!
Hi Chris. I enjoy your videos even though I'm a Märklin HO operator and collector in the USA for many decades now. European O Guage was popular (mostly with rich folks) before WWII. After the war Märklin HO and other brands took off. Don't forget, European homes are much smaller than ours in general back then. These are beautiful models. I have the Märklin HO BR18. It's a fabulous Lok. Cheers and Happy Holidays.
just got back from NL and BE. there's a number of train museums in both countries. less wheels on the trucks = less friction, faster you can go. The Thalys has that setup and it goes 180 mph. Love that train. Of course the driver and conductor on your locos are wearing a collar and tie in a doggone hot a heck. It's Europe.
The French Pacific hauled La Flêche d'Or (Golden Arrow) a CIWL Pullman Express that ran from Calais to Paris & your German K.Bay Sts Pacific, hauled The Orient Express across Bavaria & through to Vienna..
I like that Bavarian steam locomotive! It was also offered in a handsome blue livery! MTH had a phenomenal amount of trains in their catalog, and these European models went above and beyond expectations!
Mate, the scale of the French loco is the equivalent of European/UK 'O'. America being the smaller scale... Glad to see the wife is forgiving, check eyebrows regularly each morning, but feel bad about the tease when I notice that you desperately need to afford a razor. Should we whip the hat 'round or are you OK? Bye-the-bye, most sincere best wishes to you and yours, many thanks for the hours of entertainment and sharing your passion for this hobby. Kind personal regards Paul. (Soggy Sydney, Australia)
I was wondering if I could get by without shaving this week but you caught me! Too much going on this time of year but I suppose that is no excuse. Thanks for watching Paul! And the wife is forgiving… so far, haha!
Hi Chris , I just came across your station . Its the greatest .. I subscribed .. because its you that presents so great..I love your ability to keep the watcher so amused. Your layout is beautiful ( but i'll bet you want to make it bigger..always huh) and I love your passion and happiness that comes through ... Keep the shows coming and keep your great ways ... you are better than the people on cable tv .. the so called professionals ... Dont know what you do but if its in communications, i can see that.. thumbs up to you, friend! Im on board.
The MTH BR.44 is singlehandedly the rarest European locomotive they made, had the pleasure of seeing one up close and running, it's fabulous! However not many were made I heard less then 100 were made.
I absolutely love this channel! I am one of your biggest fans and have binge watched your videos for several weeks now! Any chance you could make a video showing all of your streamlined steam locomotives, making them go as fast as they can around the layout? Btw I suggest you get the Union Pacific 49er, the Dreyfuss Hudson, the Reading Crusader and the Penn RR bullet nosed streamlined steam locomotive with wheel skirts that wrap around the bottom of the engine.

Thanks Cory! You put a lot of trains on my list, haha. I have the Dreyfuss and the PRR Torpedo lined up for some upcoming videos. Need to check on the others you suggested to see where I can find them. Thanks for watching!
Take it from me, some of those engines can go so fast they'll fly out the nearest window if you're not carefull! I turned one of my MTH "Generals" loose on the layout with a "I wonder how fast it'll go?" urge and luckily it landed on a chair when it went airborne!
Servus from Bavaria Ive seen the S 3/6 multiple times in person and only live 45 minutes away from her usual location, and its so wonderful that a local engine from my home is appreciated and loved all the way overseas. anyway i know im very very late but heres the full translation of the dialogues 1. Dialogue 0:15 Driver: Sep (prob. Fireman's name), did you check the Sanddome? Fireman: yes, the Dome is filled up to the brim and the sandpipes are clear! 2. Dialogue 10:20 Fireman: Otto (prob. Driver's name), i need more oil for the Bearings!
I have one Euro loco......the Lionel Potter loco. I am going to repaint it to look more 'normal' Brit rail loco. Thanks. The whistles are called 'Peanut Whistle' per my wife born in France!!!
These come with standard knuckle couplers but have a variety of adapters. I converted to the “fine scale” coupler and the wagons have different couplers as well
i have the same pacific steam loco but in blue and in 1:32 marklin 1. my loco was a special run from marklin i do not know how many that was made in 2002/3. nice to se two european locos. on from france and one from germany. the german 3/6 has a special place in my heart. 👍👍👍👍👍✨🇸🇪🇸🇪✨
If I were to have a model of the Orient Express, I would make figures of James Bond, Tatiana, and Kerim Bey, from the movie From Russia with Love. They traveled on the Orient Express.
Guten Abend :D I'm from Germany and the S3/6 "says" (10:29) : "Otto, I need a bit more of the axle bearing oil" Hope that I could help you there :D PS: I like the bell sound of the S3/6 but she actually never had a bell :D
I myself am English and I love the liveries we have in Europe, a personal favourite of mine is LNER apple green, I feel like American liveries lack colour, most are black and silver, engines like the blue comets and some of the special trains like the Blue Goose put some colour into the livery pool but there simply isn’t enough colour in US liveries
Hi rbp. This is Cory I am back to suggest you get the b and o Royal blue streamlined steam locomotive and the Chicago and north western streamlined Hudson.
Love haw the German one looks british but still different ... edit did you check out the little black shunt loco at York? was used at an aluminium plant small but tones of charm
I honestly wish there more O-gauge engines from other counties that work on American track honestly... I also wish I could find a Southern pacific U25B but I missed my chance on that
I prefer the MTH smoke fluid as well. In my experience, it has a much stronger scent and produces more smoke than other brands. I would love to translate what these engines are saying but I have only ever taken Spanish and Chinese!
An English manufacturer makes the ACE trains in O gauge. They did the flying Scotsman and another one. The Scotsman is dark blue streamlined and looks great with matching passenger cars behind it
@@Avrenac yes they will run on any 3 rail track system. They make 2 versions one for 2 rail and one in 3 rail. They can be hard to find and can be expensive as well.
Have you ever done a total locomotive count to see how many trains or locomotives you have in your collection? If not then when are you going to do one.
