This Stunning New Amtrak 50th Anniversary Train is an Atlas O Gauge Masterpiece! 

Thanks 😊

Cool!

This

Ha thanks!

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks a bunch!

Nice!

Mission accomplished!

Yes!

Awesome!

They didn’t go out of business. They’re still making trains.

@@Ericstrains oh, I thought they're out of business because the owner was retired three years ago.

@@felixthetrainfan4819 well they did not go out of business all together. They did sell off some models and molds to Lionel and Atlas and maybe a few others

Thanks!

Thanks!

💪😎

Thanks!

@@Ericstrains no problem, mate.

@@Ericstrains i have some great videos of the trains that you will enjoy a lot.

Use the widest curve possible, which on 4x8 would be O42 I think. On 6x10 you could comfortably do O63

Yes

Billows - not easily but anything’s possible. Extra power - yeah, I ran a double header for a couple shots in the video. Thanks!

Thanks

iPhone

Thanks, Frank

Good to know

Got them when they first came out. They’re probably sold out by now ☹️

Yes

yep

Everything Atlas makes is more accurate than anything Lionel makes.

@@Ericstrains I agree

Fortunately I thought of this a couple of decades ago. I may have the only O-gauge Auto-Train on RU-vid, if not just the first. 9 Superliners and 13 autoracks at the time of filming. Since I made that video, I've acquired 10 more autoracks, and can actually add another five Superliners from my collection. Only problem is the train would be longer than my house 🤪

@@RailRide I have one F40PH from Lionel and that's in phase 3. My superliners are phase 4 but it's the four pack they offered that were 18 in. They have the ability to change the red light either end of the car. I'm looking to add some Golden gate Depot scale ones to my collection. And then I only have one Amtrak box car and one Amtrak auto rack. It's really tough to find Amtrak stuff in O in general let alone For a decent price My superliners from Lionel cost me $125 per car

@@doubleutubefan5 Yes, in recent years it has become the case. I started buying the MTH auto-train autoracks as they came out, initially the Phase III striped ones, then switched to the Phase IV versions. I had a couple of the CSX fantasy scheme ones custom repainted into the Phase V versions, them MTH came out with the same, so I ordered the six-pack they offered in 2019-ish. So I spent a bit more than a decade building an MTH Auto-Train. As for Superliners, I have shorty Williams ones from when they were offered in a six-pack (1992), then bought 18" MTH, K-Line and Lionel versions while building the Auto-Train. I actually overshot the number needed to match the number of coaches in the A-T consist (and I don't have room to run a train that long anyway), so my K-Line and Lionel superliners just sit around waiting for me to make up a random consist with them. I don't think I ever ran the Williams cars, or the MTH + K-Line F40PH's I got when those came out either.

@@RailRide If you ever want to check them out, head over to sunset models/golden gate Depot and put your order in because they are running a one-time only Amtrak extravaganza right now with superliners, am fleet, budd cars, p40/p42/ AND the seimens chargers in all paint variants

@doubleutubefan5 Yes, I'm on their mailing list. I'm currently considering two more sleepers, but in phase IV (already have two in the 'Amtrak America' phase 3 scheme), and one of the Chargers. I'm not going after the GGD Superliners since I already have almost 30 of the 18" ones and am not bothered by their not being completely scale.

Yeah I triggered it by accident and just kept it as an outtake

MTH?

MTH DCS

Atlas Premier line locos made from purchased MTH tooling use Protosound 3. AtlasO is also selling the DCS hardware under it's own name going forward (once electronics supplies permit building them again) AtlasO locomotives that predate the MTH tooling purchase (i.e. their Master Line) will as far as I know, continue to use TMCC (or DCC for 2-rail versions)

Awesome!

I think Kato has one.

NVM now have amfleet

All THE TIME. I purchased one of those rolling magnet pick up tools from Home Depot to help get lost parts out of the carpet.

@@Ericstrains Ha ha, thanks for the reply, I will follow your example.

@@rogerstrate5727 I bought one of those magnetic parts bowls so you can just drop them in and they stay put.

Everything’s made in China these days, that’s just reality.

Everyone is cheaper than Lionel lol.

When we turn into China and do away with property rights, not to mention spend $$$ like drunken sailors doing crack+meth on pure vanity projects with zero opposition :D

Complicated question with a complicated answer
