Freight trains — Let’s see them!

VL Big Boy on the SOUTH FORK RAILROAD

Here’s a couple of old videos that have freight trains in them. 

The single freight train of the Fenix Transport Action Railroad

Horse Power!

Here's an oldie but moldy unit train video. Scale wheeled MTH C40-8W diesels with mixed scale wheeled and hi-rail Atlas PS4427 hoppers in tow.

Great looking train. I’m jealous. I couldn’t take that much smoke In my small attic.

Thanks. The smoke actually dissipates pretty quickly, plus the spiders that had set up housekeeping over the layout moved away after getting hit with the smoke over time.

Great video!!

Today's freight trains ... of the 1950s

Delaware & Hudson Lionmaster Challenger with a string of woodside reefers.

Standing with the camera in Ghost Train Park, a corner of our O gauge, three rail model railroad, you see both a long freight train and a swift passenger trains pass. The freight is pulled by a 1953 vintage 736 Lionel Berkshire locomotive. The passenger train is pulled by an MTH Protosound 2 PRR K-4s.

 Wow Great video Patrick'.. The new era high cube box cars are very cool indeed. However, I'm a sucker for the old school stuff...You and I share similar equipment.  I always get a kick out of seeing some of my items on others layouts...Nice presentation...👍

This is one of my favorite line up. Lionel post war F3 with all Lionel Standard O freight cars.

Here’s a old Lionel ALCO Chesapeake & Ohio with a manifest of Menards cars and a Lionel pig flat 

Caught an H10 with a reefer local. It looks like its being over fired...cough cough

Minutes later an M1B came outta nowhere.....with alot more reefers

How about some circus freight.

A few of mine from days past:

Hi everyone !  Some might remember that I mentioned in one of the other threads that I had discovered a KLINE Santa Fe S-2 switcher that I had apparently bought and packed up and forgot about.  I commented that I was surprised that this thing had 2 motors, 3 position reverse, great livery, and ran really smoothly.  So today I began to wonder how it would stack up against the Lionel "600" series NW-2 's under post war freight conditions.  So I hooked it up to 5 relatively heavy PW freight cars to see how she did.  The cars were 3464 NYC Operating Box car, 2454 Baby Ruth Box, 6464 GN box, 6464-100 WP box and a fully illuminated 2357 SP caboose.  Well, she did extremely well.  Handled this consist with no trouble at all.  In fact she cruised around my 0-31 loop (mostly flat) with no trouble at 8.5 volts on the ZW.  Here are some pictures.

Well, I remain convinced that we lost a good supplier of trains when KLINE left.  This little guy could clearly hold his own against the PW competition.  

Have a good Holiday everyone

I ran my NYC Hudson with 3 of my Custom cars in the manifest for a test run

Freight trains for today.

WP John: I really like the scene in your video. 

Tom Densel: Super scenery for the short freight at just the right speed.

Patrick: Always enjoy your scenes and especially your lighting. What type/color lights are on your layout please?

Pennsynut thanks so much!  The lighting on my layout is actually stock.  Whatever came with the building or lamp is what I use.
