Atlas Unboxing with Help From Chessie Cat!

[@stephendrivick840]

Chessie: "I'm just here for the boxes."

[@LMR78]

Chessie is such a good train cat!

[@georgemanley6421]

Yea it is I've also got a cat named chessie

[@southernsteamproductions7745]

Very nice unboxing. 5:48 I think that is the first time I have seen a pink train car!

[@danielhemple8649]

Now that's a knife

[@IdahoRailfan]

The SD24 is my favorite diesel Locomotive! Love all the roof detail.

[@Ericstrains]

Yeah it looks really nice

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Excellent knife choice!

[@TrainTableRailroad]

Can you make a video about how to update your legacy remote and why it needs to be done also what features are new for the newest version

[@thegbshow3542]

Thanks for keeping the hobby alive.

[@rpscsx]

Awesome video Eric. As an HO guy I will say if you buy an atlas locomotive that is equipped with an ESU decoder, get it. There an awesome decoder for HO scale and I have them in all my locomotives.

[@nathanschronce8703]

It already has a speaker and 21 pin board. All you need is a 21 pin sound decoder to drop in. Super easy

[@jimmelchin1531]

You can't beat Atlas O rolling stock on any level. Well worth every penny.....well worth the wait. Thanks for another great film Eric.

[@ericwilliams2619]

Extraordinary video,extraordinary rolling stock God bless you and your family

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

That's some good looking rolling stock that you got in Eric thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Cool Chelsea System and operations 👍♐

[@JOEMAMA_534]

Love Chessie and Frisco!

[@davidstrainsandlego]

Chessie makes everything better

[@Chessie1985]

Awesome new atlas items Eric!!!!

[@Geo3Rail]

Great video as always Eric. The Atlas rolling stock is definitely pristine!

[@JulianWatsonThe400]

As you said doing an HO layout, I think that's a great idea and I would really like you too. I'm only into HO but I've always enjoyed your content which is the reason I watch it.

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@JulianWatsonThe400]

@@Ericstrains thank you for the video!

[@paulmorissette5863]

I've received Atlas back orders also. Three HO boxcar kits.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

I like those passenger cars! Great video Eric! Always nice to see Chessie helping ya! 😁

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Those coaches are beautiful! Love the PC one.

[@Manwholikestrains]

I totally agree sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is good I’m like you I do mostly o scale but a while back I bought a ho scale set but I have no flat surface to set it up on so it’s currently under my bed awaiting me to set it up

[@OldIronVideo]

I've also got a cat named chessie adorable!

[@Yellowstone216]

Your cat and Eric’s cat can be friends

[@NERRP2017]

I’m into both o and Ho and i always enjoy a good laugh so I’ll enjoy that vid

[@jacksonhigh5209]

CHESSIE kitty 😺 is so cute! 😍 ❤ ❤❤

[@trainsandsirensofilinmiwi2080]

Neat. I have a lionel lionchief pensylvania flyer. Even though im a tornado siren enthusiast i still like trains.

[@camaschris4196]

Instead of building a HO layout, you could try HO Free-mo.

[@CRP7609]

Aww Chessie is a cute cat

[@wrangler70jkujeep74]

Atlas make great ho cars . Eric Southern box car in ho you can buy detail parts make your own open vents . Very nice new add on to your rolling stock

[@F40M07]

12:17 “oh yay passenger cars!” 12:53 “why the hell do they look European”

[@James-Railyard]

The Atlas HO should get the TSU-2200 and the 8-9 pin jumper, a 1” (28mm) speaker is suggested from Soundtraxx but scale sound systems should have a very good speaker for it. I recommend though opening the locomotive to confirm the items needed.

[@felixthetrainfan4819]

Great video! On 10:09 if I had that car that has open latches, I would put sugars inside lol!

[@Puddin_Pi]

Trains and cats. What more could this gal want?!? (maybe a Y 3..😀)

[@therailfanman2078]

Great video! For ho scale if you ever get steam go for athearn. They're not as diverse with steam but they still have some great ones. Also with that o scale breast care car I've seen that before in Maine

[@michaeljkowar]

Looks like the old Weaver passenger cars.

[@MindfulAura73]

The cat is my favorite part

[@nishrus93]

hi eric ive been serching youtube for a video on dcs such what is best wire to use braided or solid, how to run more than ten locos on a single block or channel without some engines turning on when i power up. also a new modern way to hook up signal lights. i using the old way of the two outside rails also it interferes with the dcs signal. i use mostly mth o guage ty Steve

[@40belowful]

love the buck 119 knife :) hate packing peanuts :(

[@elliotwelz9793]

Could test these cars backing up on a 042 curve [ atlas OK ed ] . The reason that couplers are attached to the truck is because it will have a tendency to derail going in reverse on a curve without this design .Also add a few cars behind them for good test .

[@gregeasterbrook2274]

Like always great video ! Your not wrong about atlas rolling stock being the best . In my opinion it's the best in ho too ! I have an atlas master plus covered hopper and it's my favorite piece I have . Flawless from the metal walkways down to the wheels

[@Ericstrains]

Totally agree!

[@talis84]

I'm still waiting for the level crossing sign at the command tower to snap off when a box hits it by accident .

[@randybowman2110]

Passcar looks like New Heaven.

[@rapcreeperproductions3269]

A long time ago I ordered model power's railway gun and waited 6 months back order for it. Personally I think it was worth it.

[@Trainboy11]

I have a cat named Chessie too

[@george_panella]

Okay, quick question... how do you prevent your cat from destroying you layout? I have two of them and I'm going to great lengths to prevent them from getting to mine.

[@Ericstrains]

I keep the door to the layout room closed at all times and the cats are only allowed in there if I'm watching them.

[@Agen007DarkKnight]

That knife is definitely the knife from scream. If not its very close looking.

[@Ericstrains]

Ha

[@jasonlitz2907]

Amtrak and Conrail Eric. So sad to see so many great Class 1s around the Lrhigh Valley consolidate into one company.

[@pauljohansson288]

I thought the Southern locos were 💚

[@plunkervillerr1529]

Using reply , tell me if you have any Marx ?

I order me some Broadway Limited ho diesels and steamers getting ready to start running High end Ho trains myself ,started out with 8 Broadway Limited locomotives now cars and get started

Don't You mean Conrail, Not Amtrak?

Don’t drop that Buck on your foot like the last time. It won’t be good. I like Atlas products. Good stuff. My father worked for Pennsylvania then PC. He said PC was horrible to work for before they went bankrupt.

Yes
