Weekend at the Movies 9/26/2014

This was shot by YT Channel Tcostello 105 • 16 Private Passenger Cars, being pulled by an Amtrak, only 1.21 minutes. A must watch video.

Private cars, great video. That is the way to do it if you can afford it.

Our train display last year. We had a high school senior put the video together.

I'll have what he's having!

I hope he brought a change of shorts. 

After three years of hiding in a box, #244 is running the milk train while I work on benchwork in the basement. It fired up like a champ, just greased/lubed it and let some JT megasmoke soak for about 30 min before running it. It's pulling 4 Atlas-O milk cars, MTH combine and MTH bobber caboose.

I hate to be picky, but milk trains were considered passenger trains and did not have cabooses.  The combine at the end is correct.

I used this picture and a video from the NYO&WHS as reference... I thought it was an interesting setup, I just remembered seeing the grouping and was excited to have my favorite engine rolling again.

The picture comes from Robert E. Mohowski's book NYO&W Milk Cans, Mixed Trains, and Motor Cars.

I did flip through the book and find that in 99% of instances, you are indeed correct! Thanks for pointing it out. As I'm shooting for a prototypical layout, running the trains correctly helps too. ��

Here are some of my Lionel Trains from the 1970's. I bought everything new and now at 40+ years of age they still run like when I bought them. I bought everything at Town House TV and Appliance. RIP Mike Moore

 

I have all the new stuff with DCS and Legacy but I'll never be so sophisticated that I can't enjoy just running trains.

 

This video was shot with my new iPhone 6.

I purchased a $5.00 Lionel flat car for the trucks on a Box car project BUT looks like I will use the flat car for a camera car.  Here's a short video of the layout.

 

 

Great videos this week! Thanks.
