✅ About jlwii2000:
When I started my channel I did not choose a catchy name because I did not think that I would be a major model railroading video source one day, so I apologize for the strange name. My channel has a variety of info about Model Railroading in many scales, primarily HO scale. I try to respond to everyone's questions to help them along with their journey. Overall, I hope my relaxed yet descriptive approach to modeling will assist those new and old in this great hobby. - James

Thanks for coming by to see our first steam locomotive, James! We look forward to your upcoming review of the production samples this December.

@gat-x105strikegundam5 3 месяца назад

Please work on n scale steam locos!!! They are severely underrepresented in N scale!

@jasonworden8209 3 месяца назад

Definitely pre-ordering this beauty!

@James-Railyard 3 месяца назад

Where is the decoder plug located in this model and how non ESU DCC ready is the model? I understand I won’t have changing color lights, but I’d like to know just how friendly it is to other brands.

Am interested in twin beam light with no spirit lettering, will this version be available?

@JCmilwaukee 3 месяца назад

Will you guys re release the Hiawatha

@olafjesspeerg3536 3 месяца назад

I sent scaletrains an email a while back (well before J class announcement) inquiring about the Nickel Plate Berkshires since I know they bought the tooling for them from MTH and the sales representative said that at the time they were currently working on the J class and that the Berkshires would likely be their second or third steam project after they announced the J class.

@dathpo 3 месяца назад

Better sound than the MTH, however, I hope you can couple the tender closer. This is great for anyone who doesn't have the MTH version. Glad to see it. I'm happy with my MTH though!

@randallellison6421 3 месяца назад

I figure the locomotive has an adjustable drawbar like alot of other manufacturers have with their steam locomotives. They do this so the locomotive can negotiate tighter radius curves.

@StillPlaysWithModelTrains1956 3 месяца назад

The Powhatan passenger car consist looks awesome! It will be on my train-show wish list for sure.

@BenjaminJTemple4019 3 месяца назад

Hi James, Just a thought here, but that coupler space between the passenger railcars needs to be improved. There is too much or the diaphragms needs adjusted.

@olafjesspeerg3536 3 месяца назад

@rgj8044 Месяц назад

It’s good to see the authentic double side rods like the prototype.

@AlexBaldwin440 3 месяца назад

Not quite my style but I am hoping this means the Hiawatha is a possibility in the next couple of years!!!

@Andrew-se9be 3 месяца назад

Disappointed with the gap between tender and loco. You could drive a train through that gap

@James-Railyard 3 месяца назад

They’re using the old MTH tooling, unless they used a basic bar and pin drawbar with wires this is what we got.

@randallellison6421 3 месяца назад

I figure the drawbar is adjustable like other companies do with their models. Plus this being the first operating sample, adjustments will be made before they arrive at their headquarters.

@Andrew-se9be 3 месяца назад

@@James-Railyard Yeah, I understand they are using the old MTH tooling, I was just hoping this would be one of the things that saw a revision. I don't really understand the hate for a harness and adjustable drawbar. Is it as elegant? No, but it works, and lets you couple closer, or further, with the option to set it based on your layout

@j.w.billingsley1635 3 месяца назад

Now we also have to hope that ScaleTrains will re-release the former MTH HO-scale Southern Pacific Daylight cars!

@Texas_and_Pacific 3 месяца назад

Will the gap between the locomotive and tender be adjustable at all?

@JoshSmith-eq7kp 3 месяца назад

IM DEFINITELY BUYING ONE WITH SOUND THESE SOUND ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!! SO PROTOTYPICALLY ACCURATE!!!!!!!!!

@bowlinerailfan 3 месяца назад

🤤 I...must...get...one. That is the most realistic 611 sounds I ever heard from a 611 model.

@mustachemike802 3 месяца назад

N scale is the future of the hobby! MORE NSCALE !!!

@Cmoore13 3 месяца назад

Awsome engine, love 611!! I know the engineer on it, and he let me and my dad run it at the NCTM. Great model.

@hotrail8295 3 месяца назад

MIND THE GAP, Please.. Looks promising, but Please reduce the gap between the locomotive and tender. it would be nice if it were adjustable, or if both draft gear shanks were on a cam, so that when the engine goes straight down the track, the tender and engine are very close together. As it is, the great distance between the two is pretty unrealistic. SXT does an awesome job, so you guys have a rep to protect! =)

@larrylund3780 2 месяца назад

I agree. The gap issues are such challenging technical problems for manufacturers, it seems.

@Perfusionist01 3 месяца назад

Sounds like a nice model, BUT let's think a bit outside the box! Thousands of steam locos over the years and we still see N&W 611 or more Big Boys, etc. There are a LOT of roads and engines that haven't been done.

@robby062 3 месяца назад

Impressive connection with the loco and tender connection. And as I have the Bachmann J (excursion version), I have to say that the sound absolutely blows away my loco (Bach’s steamboat whistle is so mushy). And it will be nice for some to finally have some well detailed cars.

@RailfanS1 3 месяца назад

Nice to see the excellent MTH steam locomotive tooling finally getting the electronics it deserves. The 611’s not really my thing, but if you guys do a rerun of the Mohawks I’ll be ordering…

@ravenhawk6910 3 месяца назад

Love it! Can't wait to get my 611 and the passenger cars.

@jasonworden8209 3 месяца назад

That thing sounds amazing. I need!

@riogrande5761 3 месяца назад

I lived in Manassas for a few years and the Class J steam locomotive ran some fan trips through the area. But what I'm really excited about is the GP40 announced at the same time, D&RGW of course.

@metroman1007 3 месяца назад

awesome, awesome, awesome,...my granddad work on the J's in the Roanoke shop... and my dad work for N & W, and on the dining car. Going to great to get these.

@steamfan4014 3 месяца назад

This looks and sounds amazing!!!! I can't wait to order one for myself!!!

@dalecherne5377 3 месяца назад

The whistle doesn't sound right. Did you guys record 611 while it was at Strasburg or after? During her time at Strasburg, she was given a different whistle than her own. Her original was placed back on her after she left last year. If you look "Shenandoah Steam Spectacle", you can hear the difference.

@James-Railyard 3 месяца назад

It was ESU that recorded the sounds so I’d email them for specifics on sound.

@everettthepetractionguy4222 3 месяца назад

I enjoyed the review, even though I have the HO scale brass version from Key Imports. The sound features are very nice. I hope, someday I'll find a sound system like the one in this ScaleTrains model for my brass version of the 611. Once again, nice review.

@scenariomckinney 3 месяца назад

Simply awesome. We need UP units now!!

@RodimusPrime 3 месяца назад

Drivers need blacked out...hopefully they fix that. This is present on the bli models

@michaelstrains4014 3 месяца назад

Y’know I was really hoping they’d paint the wheels entirely too but I’m not surprised they didn’t. Don’t fully understand why it’s inconsistent across BLI’s models too.

@alpennsygg1 3 месяца назад

hello James & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks James & Friends Randy

@BrendanMazaleski 3 месяца назад

It's certainly a great looking model and it sounds awesome. However, is there any way to bring the tender closer to the locomotive?

@FirstName-hr8jr 3 месяца назад

Well to reach Scale Trains Museum Quality I've told them we need to use the vape pen type of deal which could generate a bunch of steam. A small appreatus with several brass tubes could carry the steam.😂🎉 Sombody will do it one day. I guarantee it.

@fevinman7162 3 месяца назад

Awesome! Can you guys share any details about inside the passenger cars? Is it single piece molded plastic or will they be detailed and colored appropriately. Couldn’t tell in the video

@doge_sevens 3 месяца назад

beautiful model, though i think its pretty clear its just a better version of the MTH j class, i may pick one up eventually as i do want to have a high end j at some point with loksound

@randallellison6421 3 месяца назад

I gotta say, that one of the best sounding steam locomotives I've heard yet! I don't run hardly any steam personally, but dang, that thing is nice! I'm guessing the drawbar between the locomotive and tender is adjustable? Just asking as others have commented on the gap between the locomotive and tender.

@frankshimkets5000 3 месяца назад

WOW...NICE‼️👍👍

@newqlar 3 месяца назад

Do you have any plans on releasing this model in N scale? HO is way too bulky. Long live larger dioramas and smaller locos in N scale!!! ❤🎉

@Challenger3985Productions 3 месяца назад

I am so purchasing that locomotive

@bearzlla 3 месяца назад

Okay but what about a ScaleTrains retooling of the FVM GP60? :D

@johnathanmichaeljackson6155 3 месяца назад

YES!!! MTH VERSION WITH ESU LOKSOUND V.5

@Venem1975 3 месяца назад

I would have thought, Scale Trains might have at least been able to bring to the US market, European style coaches with "M" pocket close fitting couplers. These would have been made in the same factory as the European coaches that run well with touching dioramas.

@cascadesouthernmodeltrains7547 3 месяца назад

Now we need this in N scale too. Bachmann is the only one that makes this locomotive, and no one makes the cars and this is really sad. Scale Trains PLEASE make this all in N too!

@jessedax7333 3 месяца назад

Should it not have the MTH smoke unit? Are they working one out from scratch?

@jonathanjones35 3 месяца назад

Is the spacing between the loco and tender adjustable? Can you couple them closer if desired?

@Cmoore13 3 месяца назад

Hey James, what is the best DCC controller to get when first starting in the hobby that is also wallet friendly?

@tonyansill3093 3 месяца назад

I wonder if they will add a firebox light

@jurigelato4366 3 месяца назад

I'm a N-Scaler, big fan of the 611. Desperately searched for the Powhathan cars. Nothing satisfactoy was ever produced. So bear with us too.

@ChargerusPrime 3 месяца назад

They pulled a lionel and have twin speakers. Now improve the distance between the engine and tender.

@denisebasile3813 3 месяца назад

Does it come just DC but does it have stay alive thing an can smoke turn

@modelrailroadexcursions987 3 месяца назад

But... wires between the tender and locomotive look good because hoses? Anyone know or remember the company that made magnetic air and MU lines? Those could be fun to install.

@PantherLineProductionsofOhio 3 месяца назад

Only thing I wish was that you guys had added a flickering firebox and ash pan glow

@davidkaplan3596 3 месяца назад

You rarely see that on the real 611

@TheBeeMan1994 3 месяца назад

The sounds were not all recorded from 611, most of those sounds are ESUs generic steam sounds.

@SteamPowerPA 3 месяца назад

Does the engine come with the classic j class whistle, or is it just the one 611 had from 2015-2022?

@James-Railyard 3 месяца назад

I believe that’s the 2015-current whistle on it, unless they changed the whistle recently.

@SteamPowerPA 3 месяца назад

@@James-Railyard Ik that’s the 2015 whistle, but I was wondering if they have the other one as an option, like how the BLI engines have 2, sometimes 3 whistles

@@SteamPowerPA i understand now, my bad.

@donh8833 3 месяца назад

10x better than the Bachmann in looks. And R18.

@VintageRenewed 3 месяца назад

It looks nice but for me it doesn’t make sense why they are doing the class j. Multiple companies have made them before so it isn’t really anything new. Plus it is a 4-8-4 northern, models of northerns are super common Small SP engines like moguls, pacifics and others have never been made in plastic and thus a huge open market area

@tenorcenter 3 месяца назад

Seconding this! So many small locos get neglected and are only available in brass for thousands.

They had spirit of Roanoke on the model, and the wheel edges are metal not white. Thanks for watching!

@normandedgerly8445 3 месяца назад

This Loco has been done adnauseam. So demand will be LOW. The whitewall effect of bare metal on the drivers edges needs to be fixed. And for the love of all that is holy, paint the pony wheels black!

Yup the wheels need completely blacked out

@OriginalBongoliath 3 месяца назад

@@normandedgerly8445 The Big Boy is done all the time and that is because demand is high for them, which is why companies keep re-releasing them. Same with 611. Same can be said for all the GEVO's and SD/GP's released every year too do you complain about those as well?

@dannyking748 3 месяца назад

@@jlwii2000I noticed it now. It was just really small. I know it's their first and none have been made, but disappointed. Expected more from Scale Trains. Sound is spot on. Looks not so much same for the passenger cars. I just expect more from them. And as of now I don't see $530 in the J and $85 for the cars. To each their own I guess.
