That AC-9! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@FrogandFlangeVideo]

Wow ! What a beautiful collection of vintage rolling stock !

[@rimodeler7963]

Nice video. Gary's trackwork is great and the weathering on the steam locomotives and freight cars is fantastic. Such a beautiful model railroad. Thank you for recording this and sharing. Mike

I'd love to see more of that ATSF 4-6-4!

[@RailwayWorld]

I agree, that's a nice one. If I can visit again I'll take some more photos / video. Too much to see at Gary's.

Superb....video

[@MrBnsftrain]

There's not too much American 2-rail O scale out there. thanks for sharing!

[@RailwayWorld]

Thanks. Yep, and it appears to be less supported by the manufacturers as time goes by. It probably will become more of a scratch builders scale.

[@warrenholmar1129]

​@RailwayWorld and the quality is testimony of that. Thanks for posting. I am a huge fan of Gary's work. Slightly disappointed he doesn't post more content of his own. He has an amazing passion for getting something right.

I honestly wish I could buy that weathered MT-4 he has, I saw it in another video double heading with a daylight painted MT-4. It looks so unbelievably prototypical with the space between the cab and the tender.. That and I need my first 2 rail locomotive lol, I'm an HO convert, well, more of an HO guy adding O scale to his repertoire.

Gary, would you happen to have any spare 2 rail drivers available in 63" & 69" ? I have a Sunset Cab Fwd 3 rail I'd like to convert to 2 rail and a SF 4-8-2 to convert over to 2 rail. Also 2 Pecos River Brass SF 3450 class 4-6-4's in 3 rail to convert over to 2 rail, which would be 73" & 79". Tim L

I’d like to expand my current layout with American locos. Currently I’m having British & German trains, o scale 2 rail NEM fine-scale. It’s kind of hard to find US locos, could you please recommend some dealers?

[@westernpacificrr]

Try eBay they have tons of locos.

Will someone get out and watch a REAL train - maybe a few of them! The engines have gone through an oil, tar, and dirt bath: the rolling stock is covered in graffiti, dirt, road scum - some damage - these best of the best home railroads are great, but I've never seen a REAL railroad running all brand new rolling stock! Come on people: with the huge, huge commitment of time, people-hours, and financial outlay, it's still a fantasy toy-like goofy railroad! Everything is great, but the engines/power units and rolling stock - are laughable. Seldom do I ever see a brand new perfectly clean rolling stock anything? Maybe time to step up the appearance of ralism.

[@warrenholmar1129]

Gary does alot of prototype work. He did the Key Cab Forward pilot model. Also this is a different time. Before there was alot of graffiti on rolling stock
