These Williams diesels can really pull. I have three of them with True Blast II but none as yet with the True Blast Plus. After hearing yours that's on my must buy soon list. Nice video and thanks for sharing.

The dummy A should have a electronic horn. Also if you want directional lights take the power for the lights off on of the motors and add a diode to one of the lights leads and then cycle the reverse unit to see which way you need to wire the diode. (This should work with normal mini incandescent lights around 12-18 volts. Be aware though these reverse unit are tiny so you don't want to make a mistake or overload them.) You will have to add another wire set from the power unit to make this work with the dummy unit. I just got 2 A n-p and 2 B powered units this week.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife passing though

I like trains to and have o gauge trains. But yea to lose some one like a wife. Would throw anyone off.I so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry about your wife. 🙏🙏❤️. I am happy to see you are back because maybe the trains will provide you some relaxation and focus. Awesome engines and thank you for sharing with us.👍🙏🔥❤️🇺🇸💪

I HAVE BOTH OF THOSE ENGINES. I LIVE ONLY 4 MILES FROM TRAINLAND. GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS. 🙂👍👍

Nice! Welcome back!

Glad to see you back with a video! Cool to see youve joined a club!

Nice to see you. Missed you . Still praying for you and yours.

Can you purchase the catalog? I’m having trouble finding it!

i have a large oval track & the bigger power supply.. but i can’t let the train go slow. is it a power supply issue?

Do you think this thing can run on a cw-80 Lionel transformer? I know ps2 and 3 need dcs but I heard that you can run it just conventionally with basic whistle and bell on any transformer but I read that MTH locos don’t like the cw-80 so now I don’t know what to believe

I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you.

You allow me to use some of the Q2 footage? I make a PRR railroad song and the Q2 is the only one not complete. (You'll of course be mentioned.)

I got the same diesel pretty much unused recently. Haven't run it yet. I hope it runs ok. Enjoyed your video. I'm a big Pennsy Geep fan. Getting the new Lionel GP9s with a "Beep"

I really liked the F40PH locomotives and it was a schoolmate that introduced me to Amtrak and its trains when he went to Disneyland in Orland, Florida when he rode one of these from New York to Orlando as he called it a "National Express Train" which I think he meant Amtrak as National Express never operated in the US especially in the 1980's. I remember him telling me that these F40PH's was very loud when they were at the station and upon myself learning about American trains is that these use HEP and the power unit has to run on full power to provide electricity to the passenger cars in the train. Ever since back then when he showed me the photos of these F40PH's that was on his train. I fell in love with the EMD F40PH locomotives ever since because they really have a very nice charming look to them and I like these EMD locomotive designs the most. Great video by the way and thanks for sharing.

Nice runner that one is.

Come to Oklahoma railroad hobby shop 😂 I don't have any.

So sorry for your loss. I know it's been awhile since your great loss. I hope you and your son are doing well. I came across this video and as I was looking for MTH Union Pacific F-7 units. Yours is Lionel, pretty nice. Take care and God bless.

It’s a great engine. I bought the Railking BNSF 25th Anniversary limited edition set with all the BNSF 25th boxcars and Bay window Caboose. I love this set 👍🏻👍🏻

What a great video !! And a great review! I love how you just give it time to show it self off and let it run. No cheesy, lame music, or "over talking" too much. I love it - thank you !!!

Hi JR, This Amtrak set really hits home for me. When I was little my parents gave me an HO Amtrak passengers set (I asked for a Lionel😥) with this exact engine and 6 cars. I have been looking all over trying to find this phase III paint scheme with the black roof from my memories. I found the 6 passenger cars last week made by MTH. Now just have to get the F40 locomotive to complete my set. Then I will start on building my Catenary system. I have subscribed to your channel and will be following your progress. Frank

Don't care for that mighty sound of steam sound. I saw an engine advertised with it. If I bought it, I'd change it out to that new sound that's out! The name starts with a B, but the name escapes me!

Enjoy your videos. Hope you are doing fine. Miss you on KZbin.

oh I'm sorry about your wife

Picked up one at beckley show happy to have it.

I want the older tmcc version so bad. I like it’s sounds better than this version (call me crazy).

What surface do you use? Is that buffalo snow blanket?

SOS switch on the smoke unit lever I believe is adjustable to make sure the sos has good continuity to the tender. It sounds like it is not making and breaking continuity. Or it could be stuck with smoke oil build up not allowing the lever to cycle properly.

Thanks for the video! I started the hobby collecting post war Lionel engine and rolling stock. Recently I added a Williams GP-38 to my collection and my posstwar is small compared to it. I think I'm going to get some Atlas rolling stock.

Nice running engine I just picked one up but no paperwork would you have it I want to know how to service before I run it. Is it fluid or pellets. Thanks in advance

They always have been both types of flats and trailers, nothing new here. MTH flats still sit way too high compared to Lionel's PS-4's.

Bought one myself a week ago. Love the F40. Overhere in Europe its hard to get so.. Im very pleased with the purchase 😊

did they discontinued this engine?

I wanted the New Haven rs3 set as soon as I saw it in the catalog for that year. Come Christmas morning and there it was under the tree

I put an l.e.d. strip in the baggage car and passengers in my santa fe, it may not have all the features of a legacy, but a bit of TLC can make this Santa Fe a very nice set to run.

Hey Brother, sorry for your loss. I put on the video, expecting to watch trains and then I heard your story. My condolences. Just letting you know your not alone. Unfortunately everyone on this planet is effected one time or the other by cancer and loss. But we go on. Amen brother.

I have two MTH steamers, I find separating the two much more problematic than connecting the two

will the horn work using the whistle button on the CW80 controller?

😂,

Menards buildings are a steal for the price…led lights , figures…just plug it in and they light up like a Christmas tree…cars are a wonderful bargain

Nice looking Hudson. I like some of the old MPC Trains 🚂 all that I have left of original MPC is the Complete Mickey Mouse Express, The Southern Crescent and Passenger Cars, and the Blue Comet and Passenger Cars. I sold most of my MPC stuff off and invested the money into modern Lionel and MTH trains. Good review. The mighty sound of steam never sounded good

I bought the same engine and Pat said he made 25 of each Road # . The same amount with the ES44AC and the SD70ace Black Bonnet engines

Nice I just picked up a brand New 1 from My Hobbie Shop there having a Sale 30percent off Was 400 New Paid .. 210.00 dollars for it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Happy Railroading 😀

I was wondering if the break noises are coming from the loco or some station sounds type car? My LC+ 2.0 Berkshire didn't have anything like that, so it would be a neat feature. Great Video!

So sorry to hear about your wife. Prayers for her and your family.

Wow, that’s absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice find!!!

Just tuned into your feed! My condolences to you and your Son on the loss of your wife and his mother! 😢 Beautiful F units. I have the MPC set of F-3's and the modern E-7 A-B-B-A. Impressive units and sounds. Take good care of your Son, he'll need the extra help and bonding. Our prayers are with you!

So sorry to hear about your wife’s Passing. May she rest in peace. I will keep you and your son in my prayers and thoughts. Thank you for sharing your life and your trains with us. God Bless you!
