Ever wonder how our model trains are made

No matter what scale, that was absolutely fascinating!! Since I dabble a bit in HO, I may have to get one!

Watched all three...what a joy to watch...

Wonderful videos. I enjoyed them very much and passed the link around. Thank you for sharing them here!

I envy so much the enthusiasm and youthfulness and age HO attracts today. 

O fine-scale I believe has the potential to attract these HO enthusiasts.

One can dream and hope  

Thanks for posting them, Scott. 

Hello guys and gals...........

I wish there was a video of "how brass locomotives are made" body and drive train assembling too. Would that be COOL or what ? As I never seen one. Even Sunset 3rd video of how they are made would be cooler !!!  I often wondered how much time and labor it took to build and assembled my Sunset 3rd S.F. 5011 from start to finish ?

I watched the video with a lot of interests. These four entrepreneurs are obviously very passionate about what they want to achieve. I also believe they are extremely wealthy to be able to afford such endeavor and buy a plant in China for their operations and productions. Their local office is also very impressive and must have cost a beefy amount of money. I would say there are probably quite a few millions of dollars invested in this company and I do not know if it is their own personal wealth, or if there are some bigger investors behind. I suspect that banks would be very reluctant to lend money for this kind of business.

Anyway, what I have seen about 3Rd Rail/Sunset is  a lot more modest and more on the craftsman side. However, it is very successful and Sunset has been in business for a very long time.

I wish both companies a lot of success.

Thanks, Scott

I thought the videos were fascinating.   I'd like to see them try their hand in die cast shells.  why do I like the idea of metal shells, no idea really...  but before that I look forward to seeing the current product in person at one of the train shows.

Gee, I thought they were made by the lowest bidder!��
