Oh wow what an absolute GEM of a video! Were you there filming this? I rode here in 2003 and it got demolished shortly after that. I did get to ride the last bull bucked at Kowbell. "Porky". Man what a great video. There's only one other video on KZbin of the old Kowbell at Mansfield Tx 😢R.I.P.

That date cylinder bushing should be removable

Nice! Thanks for making this video! I was just about to order a BLI GS-4 for my channel! =)

I love trains. Wish Amtrak would run from Fort Worth to Abilene

Love it,great vid.

GREAT stuff Neil!

Es precioso, saludos desde España 👍

The weathering is awesome!

It's also a bit larger than the standard colt saa to account for the solid block of steel it's made from, unlike the cast parts of a colt. The tolerances are tighter, the machining is better, and they are all around better built. And the only revolver in the world that can make the claim of having no cast parts. Its made from a solid block of the highest quality steel.

Almost as nice as mine

this how old the blue angels fa18 is

Lovely pistol.

Thanks for the video Neil, I was there, was my 16th birthday

Is there on BLI Reading 4-8-4 T-1's a switch on the bottom that turns off and on the smoke generator?

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!

Thanks for an excellent video, I live a block away from this line in Argle, Wished I lived there at that time.

Fantastic!

Puedes ver mi colección de replicas en pin teres, busca armas western eulogio, son fotos muy bonitas pues tambien soy aficionado a la fotografia y a las maquetas 👍

Es precioso , mucho mejor que un colt sin duda, Saludos desde España

I was a kid living in Waco, Tx. when I saw this plane.. I was curious if this was the only year it flew there or not. If anyone knows, please give some feedback. Thanks.

Very nice! I believe I see a Laird Crosshead which would make this the modified version around 1938.

I do not like the swiveling rear engine underneath the boiler, not prototypical. In my view, scale models should not do this. Otherwise, both are nice models with MTH clearly winning when it comes to smoke performance. Sounds? I can go either way.

I also have a Standard 1873. Mines a 7.5" one piece. It's my favorite of all my single action pistols. Even better than my Colt.

Amazing I was there. First trip to the USA. Had a few Buds with those marines flying the Harrier. Thanks

8444 my favorite locomotive

I enjoyed the video. Great info. and one awesome looking locomotive. Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice work. Great 📷 shots. 🚂

MY QUESTION IS Did the original Curtiss pushers produced before the first world war originally have dual ignition magnetos? Many thanks, Paul Murphy, London, UK.

I miss mkt alot of you might not know u.p didn't buy the mkt mopac did under u.p name there are a few cars in mkt green still with us kinda hard to find

Standard Manufacturing makes the best quality SAA Colt clone on the market, even better than an actual Colt.

Nice shots. i see myself at 34:05 with the Black Escape.

Good demo. I also added the SB5 and observed the same improvements.

Here in Illinois, I saw the Mo-Pac freight trains roll through, heading either north or south. The trains had mostly rolling stock from Southern Pacific, Cotton Belt, some Western Pacific, some M.K.T. and some Rio Grande, and some Frisco, some Santa Fe, and later a lot of Burlington Northern, mostly the Burlington Northern auto racks, along with a lot of Chessie System and Southern. Occasionally, I saw some Illinois Central Gulf,Milwaukee Road, and from 1985 to about 1992, a lot of Grand Trunk Western, along with some rare Eastern Railroad rooling stock, like Boston and Maine, or Bangor and Arstook. Also, I saw on occasion, Canadian National rolling stock, as was on this train, along with some EJ&E coil cars, before Canadian National bought out EJ&E in 2009. I am mentioning that because the C.N. trains run where I live, and the Illinois Central freight trains [Canadian National bought I.C. in 1998] ran to the west of where I grew up, while the Missouri Pacific freight trains ran east of where I grew up. That's why I like trains, both model and real. What was a rarity was to see piggyback/intermodal cars on the manifest freight trains. I have seen some of the intermodal cars on the manifest freight trains more on videos than I have in real time.

Awesome new Broadway Limited Texas and Pacific F7 locomotives

Got to admit the DCC is an amazing thing compared to the old DC systems. I may be the only modeler working with DC left, and although I have historic accuracy to give me an excuse for doing so and I will get my trains running well I will totally admit the limitations I will have here by not going with this sort of a modern system. These diesels are running like a swiss watch Neil, and the sounds are fantastic...

Yeap stopped running 2 amp systems a couple years ago. My BLI and MTH locos are much happier with 5 amp systems set at about 15 volts.

Your test seems to verify a conclusion I reached last year when stress-testing my MTH Little Joes and my BLI 4-8-4, they demand more power than a typical DCC layout can provide. It is important for collectors to note, both MTH amd BLI stated their electronics are not DCC but are DCC compatible. Its really too bad they are outshined by superior Tsunami and ESU sound systems which provide a better experience wothout the power drawback.

This is a noteworthy video for anyone running or planning a DCC layout with MTH or Broadway Limited engines, esp. steam! A lot of us need to re-think amperage needs in HO due to pulling loads and grades. Complaints about BLI/MTH factory-supplied decoders may just be lack of power. Thanks much for this very enlightening test!

The diamonds look amazing! Really wish Broadway had an in service variant with them

Majestic machine! But this is actually way bigger news than people realize. Mexicans are going out by the thousands to wave because not only is this an amazing piece of history but to Mexico this marks a new beginning. The trains are coming back to Mexico. Canada, US and Mexico are now fully connected by rails and Mexico is investing heavily on reviving its once great rail network. They are also competing with Panama by building its own rail “canal” at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Tren Maya in the Yucatán peninsula. Mexico has plans to connect the Maya Train to Belize and Guatemala. Americans and Canadians should be happy about this because Mexico is quickly becoming industrialized and bringing back all the manufacturing jobs from Asia. This will not only benefit Mexico but all of North America and Mexico doesn’t want to leave Central America behind. Helping Central America will be the only viable way to reduce mass migration. Mexico has a great plan but America is way too proud to admit it’s right. American politicians keep pushing the anti Mexico/invade Mexico agenda because they can’t stand the thought of Mexico becoming a Leftist, Humanitarian country that renationalized the petroleum and electric industries as well as nationalizing lithium. Current Mexican President AMLO has gained so much respect for Mexico around the world in the last 6 years and has started a movement called the 4th Transformation of Mexico. Now Claudia Sheinbaum, the new president elect of Mexico, will continue with what’s is referred to as the 2nd level of the 4th Transformation. Remember that American politicians know that there always needs to be an enemy and they sadly keep making it Mexico and its people. Mexico has always been a humanitarian country that remains neutral helps anyone that needs it (to a point of even helping others before its own people) and always asks for peace among nations. America is just too greedy and proud to allow Mexico to solve its issues. They create the problem and try to force their own solution on you, and that solution hardly ever helps your country.

What's your minimum radius curve on the mainline?

Do you hand load your ammo? I have 5.5 inch and love it.

there's a new TLR-6 HL 300 lumen with green laser out. Don't forget about the 15 round backup mags.

The Beretta spells O-L-T as it has a transfer bar and lacks the safety notch on the hammer.

I have one that is similar, it's called a Cattleman and it is a .357 caliber. I have shot a few hundred rounds with it but with mine I had to file the back end of the cylinder because I had issues with it properly cycling..

Beautiful revolver.

Great work. If there is a God in Heaven they will not repaint those beautiful F Units in that crappy CPKC paint scheme. Ditto for the gorgeous KCS F units.

Awesome shots...I chased it for about an hour Saturday!!

Nice footage!

I’m from heavener but wasn’t there to see 2816
