A day on the New York Central-1946

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

I love the way that you all put this together, for it reminds me of old steam engines on the tracks of yester year. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thanks for your kind words, from one vet to another.

[@dagger1-140]

Absolutely fantastic. I have a number of these engines myself. You’ve done a fantastic job detailing them and what a wonderful array of cars to go with the locos and shots of these running.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thanks! Just the tip of the ice burg!

[@DH2906PRODUCTIONS]

Love NYC. wish the hudsons we're still around

[@warrenfrost6033]

Agreed!

[@Mauscmkwk]

Simple but expensive solution BUILD A FULL Scale REPLICA

[@flamedude_1111]

Everyone wishes we had some still around. The T1 trust has hinted towards a newbuild if I recall correctly.

[@marcleslac2413]

Yep, and we all know who did it, I WANT THAT STEAM ENGINE BRRRRZZZZZTTTT

[@curtislew3964]

What a beautifully crafted video on a most impressive layout!!!!!!!!

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you! This is actually a hobby shop layout, Just Trains, in Concord, CA. The scenery is not finished pending completion of the track work.

[@guntertomsen6721]

Absolutely beautiful layout! Love the wheel slip on the pusher engine!!!

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you!

[@tomsmaerklintrainlayout6742]

Absolutely stunning !! Although I don my know much about American trains, they look very realistic on a beautiful layout.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you!

[@danielboone3770]

I LOVE this NYC layout in 1946 form! ❤❤❤❤❤😮❤

This is a magnificent setup!

Beautiful collection of steam

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you!

[@hotdogpilot6319]

Superb running action, a salute from across the pond.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you!

[@princessofthecape2078]

Lovely slow, smooth running.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you, A lot of time goes into the mechanisms of each engine.

[@thomasmiller5502]

Am modeling the FJ&G with an interchange at Fonda, NY. I am old enough to remember the steam era on the NYC. I also remember the transition from 4 tracks to 2 tracks after WWII. ( Have a BLI Hudson and Pacific)

[@warrenfrost6033]

Nice to hear from someone upstate! I'm from Rochester when it was still a NYC town and steam ruled supreme!

[@adaribros]

You’ve done it right! Fantastic trains!

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you! Much more to come.

[@infaredxkingz8786]

Guys, did we finally hear a Niagara's actual whistle?

[@ntvinternationalnews4591]

Really cool layout 👍👍👍👍👍. HO scale? Looking forward to your next videos! Good luck 🍀

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you, and, yes, HO scale.

[@robertdshannon5155]

Awesome detail! Is it O Scale? What part of New York State does it represent?

[@warrenfrost6033]

It is all HO scale, and doesn't represent any place in particular. The layout is in a hobby shop, Just Trains, in Concord, California.

[@elijahglasser1421]

Fantastic railway

[@paulschannel9184]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@walterhammond290]

Even the wheel slippage on start!

[@warrenfrost6033]

More sand!

[@Tauschung]

I would love to add a Mohawk, a Mikado, or a Niagara to my fleet. They are such amazing engines.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Yes they are! Thank you for your interest!

[@lennyhendricks4628]

First time I've seen what appears to be a road caboose without a cupola or bay windows. Of course there are transfer cabooses with neither of those.

[@warrenfrost6033]

B&A used them on locals. Originally, they had cupolas.

[@mrmckenzie0]

What is the extremely tall Santa Fe car at 2:29? I don't recall ever having seen a car quite like that before.

[@warrenfrost6033]

"Bomber Boxcar" used to transport B-29 wings to Boeing for final assembly during WW2. The model is a Sunshine Models resin kit.

[@michaelmitchell6476]

I’ve got ask where’d he get the 4-8-4 Niagara’s?

[@warrenfrost6033]

Niagara 5500 is a Key brass import. The prototype was an experiment with a new type of steam distribution to the cylinders, hence the sparse appearance of the usual valve gear.

[@pauloconstantino2827]

Very nicely done! Where on earth did you find an HO f12 class? I've been looking for one of those. Who was the manufacturer?

[@warrenfrost6033]

The 1285 is a model made by Gem Models circa 1970's. Precision Scale also made one more recently. or your Both are brass.Thanks for asking.

[@CarbonC50]

Brilliant as ever. I am thinking those are the MTH 20th Century cars? Do you have a feeling for the radius they'd be reliable at with the close coupling you are sporting there? Also really like the tender to Baggage/RPO distance so much more realistic than others I see.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Thank you! With the close coupling you see here, 48" radius is about the minimum. And, yes, those are MTH cars. I like them as well as some of my high-end brass cars.

[@jonnyspeed]

@@warrenfrost6033 That explains why they look so realistic. I don't thing many people understand just how broad of a radius is required to get really realistic looking passenger trains

[@warrenfrost6033]

The close coupling is very important for passenger trains to look convincing. I don't see it very often, however.@@jonnyspeed

[@robertbeauregard4672]

O scale 2 rail? Beautiful

[@warrenfrost6033]

All HO scale.@@robertbeauregard4672

[@danieldoesdumbstuff]

That first Niagara….where’s the valve gear?

[@warrenfrost6033]

5500 is actually the last built Niagara and was equipped with experimental Franklin cam poppet valves. These valves are internal and replace the outside valve gear. Hence, the bare look.

[@lipsnortheasttrains9128]

Love it! Super detailed. 2 questions: is the Dreyfuss brass? If so could you please tell me where did you get the decals for it? I love painting brass and would like to get a Dreyfuss but I can’t find decals for them…

[@CarbonC50]

I love guessing these locomotives so curious too - I think PSC?

[@warrenfrost6033]

5454 is a Westside brass engine. The decals are Micro-Scale pieced together from various sets, except the NYC on the tender is made up of individual letters.

[@warrenfrost6033]

Westside.@@CarbonC50

[@CarbonC50]

@@warrenfrost6033 Wrong again! Hahaha. That's an excellent job on the Hudson, it really is.

[@lipsnortheasttrains9128]

[@danikoo582]

I LOVE NYC!!!!

[@warrenfrost6033]

For good reason!

[@warrenfrost6033]

I grew up in Rochester, NY 1/4 mile from the NYC mainline. When I was born, the Century still had Hudsons assigned, Niagaras were not built until one year later. Fifty scheduled first class trains passed through every night when I was sleeping!

[@walterhammond290]

Wow, totally prototypical in operation! One question, where's the smoke?!

[@warrenfrost6033]

Brass engines don't have smoke units.
