That “coal shoveling” is actually the crewman walking on gravel. If it was shoveling you’d hear the metal shovel hitting the coal and the coal flying off the shovel.

I recently watched your review of the Nce powercab(which btw was the best one I watched and aided in the purchase of that for me) and in that we saw a much less finished layout. We’ll done on the layout since then

[@bchobbies]

Thank you! If you want to see more of the layout, I have a personal channel as well: kzbin.info/door/U8pDqOqkwnGyKDAf_P9Kgg

Very impressive early UP Challenger locomotive model and I am glad to see these have been produced by both BLI and Athearn Genesis in ho scale. I find this csa Challenger model interesting because it has a unique early style appearance of the Challenger class and I am a big fan of UP rr steam power.

No way they done put the challenger on the Westcove and Shelter Point

To much music . Music is cool .but. we're listening to the model not the music .

[@bchobbies]

Note taken. I'll tone down the music next time.

[@tonyordaziii7250]

Did you do a review of Union Pacific’s late challengers

[@bchobbies]

No, we haven't done one of those. Most of the features of the model would be the same as this one, so I doubt we will.

[@joshuawilson3784]

So cool 😎

[@TheTransportationFanfromCA]

Amazing

[@TheTransportationFanfromCA]

Wait so what did your boss say about the bachmann n scale whistle stop special train set

[@bchobbies]

@@TheTransportationFanfromCA I haven't gotten a chance to pitch the idea yet. Next time we restock on train sets, I'll ask him if we can order one. We don't normally carry very many Bachmann N scale sets, since the Kato ones are generally better quality, but we do make the occasional exception.

I want a challenger so bad. Already have Big Boy 4014

[@bchobbies]

We still have 2 of these in stock! If you're in Canada, you can order from us online at bchobbies.com.

[@dillonohlemiller401]

@@bchobbies and it’s times like this where I wish I was in Canada. I’m in the US 😕

[@bchobbies]

@@dillonohlemiller401 If you're in the US, ModelTrainStuff.com has them in stock as well. We have no affiliation with them, but I (Michael) used to live in the US and ordered from them a lot, and they always had great customer service.

[@dillonohlemiller401]

Update, I got one. It’s an Athearn Genesis

[@bchobbies]

@@dillonohlemiller401 Sweet! I really like the big Genesis steamers. They're arguably better than the Broadway ones in many aspects (although that's obviously a matter of preference).

[@daheick]

I have one of these locomotives, also 2 big boys. The are a beautiful model but with every one of them the motors went bad and it burned out the decoders. After spending that kind of $$ on a HO locomotive I would expect that there would never be any trouble with it. I pulled one of these motors apart and I found out the brushes were installed wrong. A long story short, these locomotives are a huge disappointment.

[@bchobbies]

That's a shame. I've definitely heard mixed reviews of Broadway Limited's quality control. It's too bad - the models themselves are beautiful, but not the most reliable, it seems.
