Custom NS Locomotive Roster Update - Modern HO Layout 2023

[@a_coastlinerailfan]

Your ns roster is truly spectacular and it has grown so much over the years, Can't wait to see them running on your layout and others!!!!

[@JamesH-fc1sf]

Great to hear back from you again! Great roster as always.

[@205004gs]

An absolutely astonishing collection of locomotives indeed! Nice update.👍👍

[@meme-md9yy]

Just gets better and better!!

[@Tiredofthinkingforaname]

Beautiful roster, and layout as always, Josh! Y'all are an inspiration

[@Indianafailproductions]

Nice josh! I'm a big fan of your roster, very nice man!

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Thanks Josh! Man you do great work! Thanks fer sharin'! The little yard B unit is called a "calf". With an A unit they're called a "Cow and calf". (Well, of course they are!)

[@davestrains6816]

Beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing. Dave

[@daviddryden8088]

Glad to see you back at making some videos.

[@CentralVirginiaRailProductions]

Thank you Josh, I love your roster videos and finally one's here!

[@Adam_Malkovich]

Love to see the fleet of locos. I’m still in the “acquisition” phase of the hobby and am working on getting some more modern cars for my layout as well as the occasional locomotive. A majority of my models are either from starter sets of Bachman or second-hand from a hobby store I love because of the owner’s kindness to me since I was around 8 and first got interested in the hobby (I’m now 23 and still willingly make the 6 hr trip yearly or so to visit). I have several newer locomotives, including a Walthers Proto DCC ready SD70 ACe in BNSF colors (5983) and a Union Pacific SD 40-2 painted in a special scheme for United way charities. I don’t have a DCC system yet (plan to get one once I finally graduate from pharmacy school in just about 2 years), but found 2 hardwired SD 40-2’s that we’re an Aethern Blue Box set. They are not quite fully operational at the moment. Had my friends at roundhouse help me test and one just doesn’t run (power isn’t getting through the frame to motor, but motor runs); the other literally barely crawls at full power. I am excited to continue with the hobby and make connections to learn more skills in the future

[@UnionPacific1943]

Wow josh that’s cool when I weathered all my locomotives UP BNSF and KCS and Norfolk Southern I love all your locomotives looks awesome

[@chehalisvalleyrailproducti8913]

Wow! That is truly an impressive roster. I've always liked local and yard power, and you did an excellent job representing typical NS power from those categories. I railfan the NS DeButts Yard in Chattanooga TN sometimes and typical yard power there is SD40-2s and a couple of Geeps, but I'll occasionally see an MP15 also.

[@Diesel_Sparks]

Are you kidding 2 time is 2 weeks score Josh has done it again nice video and nice locomotives!!! Are any of these for sale? Also Have a great day😊

[@Blueboat21]

😊😊😊

[@scootosan]

You and your Dad's attention to detail and knowledge is impressive. I always enjoy your videos and a Thumbs Up from this spectator..

[@jimmyseaver3647]

Those short diesels are hilarious. I hope you get to run those at a show or something.

[@jordandegraaff]

I have no idea what you said, but it was fun to watch! ❤

[@Axel-mz2wh]

A very plentiful and amazing roster, man! I'm honestly truly intrigued on looking into getting my own small CSX Roster someday! A small mix of EMD and modern GE

[@explore_off_road]

I'm actually watching this video BECAUSE of the "Time and Work" you put into them. You do beautiful work

[@clearlycaribbeanreb2895]

Absolutely amazing Josh! Thanks for posting buddy! 👍

[@bryanott7227]

I really appreciate what you have shared about your locomotive roster. I am relatively new to the hobby, and acquired an Athearn Cotton Belt GP60, with the specific intention of weathering and patching UP. However, I have never done any weathering or patching before. Anything you would be willing to share on your process would be greatly appreciated, given what you did with that SP locomotive. Thank you! Very inspiring wirk

[@WJP1361]

Very nice video Josh, the horn that NS 8105 is equipped with is the K5HLAR-24.

[@JV-qe7ez]

K5hlar-23a iirc. 8105 had its #4 bell replaced with a 3a.

[@krvnjrcbs]

14:50 that is your best train. Love those high hoods

[@Tundrawoelfe]

I believe the cabless switchers were referred to as calves. Slugs were cabless GP or SD units, IIRC.

[@codyrapp7253]

I like the short dash.9 locomotives looks cool.

[@devilstrout8634]

another great video... awesome!!

[@donaldfaris4798]

Josh I will give you a run on my N scale NS fleet looking good brother

[@Ebolson1019]

I spy with my little eye 611, can’t wait to see her in a video on the layout

[@Peyton-xr9ku]

You get some really nice locomotives

[@RonStanek]

Dapper! 🤙

[@taylorbaggarleyunionpacifi3409]

I love your layout josh I love come visit your layout someday ns and csx are so cool

[@Trashman702]

I had the pleasure of meeting Josh and his father Tom at the NMRA Show in Sacramento over 10 years ago and had lunch at Subway.

[@MissouriRailroadProductions]

The dash .9s are hilarious

[@jameshamrick5660]

What do you use/ buy to make the brass handrails for your models? I have several that have broken plastic handrails and would like to fix em up. Thank you

[@kathy1044]

love that roster the best one is the Dash 9 Top hat

[@J3scribe]

Some years ago model railroader did an update article on the Utah Belt, where the layout owner stated that the layout was finished, for all intents and purposes. A magnificent layout, indeed. But then he decided that finished wasn't exactly true, so he started removing some of the old trees and replaced them with taller, more mature trees. Remarkable modeler.

[@sukhdeepubhi4062]

Awesome video! Hope you are doing well in school… what are you up to? Thanks and be well!

[@JV-qe7ez]

K (series), 5 (total of 5 bells on horn), h (high manifold), L (has a 1L bell), a (has either a 3a or 4a bell). 8099 also has a k5hla now. Used to have a standard k5hl, but after getting fixed, it received a k5hla. 8099 has bells 1L, 1, 2, 3, 4a and 8105 has bells 1L, 1, 2, 3, 3a.

[@Trainexpert731]

When did you get the csx es40dc? #835. That locomotive looks nice.

[@Buchananfarms]

Awesome roster and awesome video! What ever happened to the video of the Utah Belt running on Pierre Larson’s layout?

[@minnesotarailfan12]

pretty epic now we need a rolling stock video lol

[@BrightsTrainsNTrucks2023]

THE CHIBI DASH 9s ARE STILL ALIVE YAYYYYY

[@gloria6229]

The last NS units are really funky.

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

Fantastic roster. You have come a long ways in your modeling. It looks so real. Where did you have the Utah Belt decals made? I have always wanted to do one of Eric's models.

[@jaekobbokoskie]

What’s Utah belt?? I’ve never heard or seen that locomotive brand

[@Yt_Cali]

Nice! I wish I could have one tho.

[@Brnich32]

Are you bending your own wire for your brass hand rails? I’m looking to upgrade from the plastic ones.

[@cadenwelch6656]

I love Lombard hobbies

[@cfryman77]

I’ve had 8146 as a leader on 189 it has a beautiful p5 glad I got to have it on as my leader

[@milesjones6851]

Whaddup, Josh!

[@StephanWershoven]

nice collection is that still masking tape on the door window of CSXT 252 at the end of the video?

[@chrismast3720]

Wondering where the AC44C6M went to?

[@htesnewobhobbies]

Can you give me an honest review on some of the ScaleTrains units you have? I’m really interested in a couple of the C40-9s.

[@JCmilwaukee]

Will you ever make a video on how you made the squished locomotives

[@ethanslape8889]

I like how you said "a couple of dash 9's" when you should have said "quite a few dash 9's"😂

[@Warbonnet_Enjoyer501]

the dash .9's are funny

[@jdboyd1861]

What brand are the steam locomotives?

[@RDC2003]

LETS GO ITS VERSION 2

[@vuurvrproductions4656]

do you have any norfolk southern?

[@ohiorailfan124]

I’ve seen 7667 in Fostoria leading a NS freight

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

Nice Roster Video

[@BNSFTrains10]

You should update your 8099's Number boards cause the real unit was repaired but given different version of the Number boards with White numbers on a Black background

[@KeystoneModeler]

Very nice!

[@brownie8235]

Do you sell you custom sounds? Can you do a video on how you do custom sounds?? Hard for us Aussies who model NS or US power to get our own sounds.... Great roster of Locos..

[@LoneRanger5150]

And we still need more 😂

[@bnsffan6584]

Is this because you wanted to or because I commented asking if you had 9880?

[@roydrink]

How many can you run at once?

[@Alawo-]

Nice fleet, has there ever been a video of the steam engines running on the layout?

[@jamesolthof8286]

You should do a backdated roster with southern and NW power to run every now and then

[@TobiasL1000]

In an older video you said that it is possible to get your costume sounds via Lombard hobby. I checked the homepage but I can’t find them. Is there any other way? I don’t have Facebook 😅 Greetings from Germany. P.S.: is there any way to know when you sell some engines? Would like to buy your awesome modified locos.

[@JacobCTrainsCSXNS]

what happend to the sd60f

[@TobiasL1000]

Are the steam engines also Athearn Genesis.

[@ducthman4737]

5252 or 4158 ?

[@gloria6229]

Utah Belt! KCS! Make that CPKC.

[@ejdsndnj]

Woah

[@foscoe2496]

UTAH BELT I WANT ONE

[@hollispurn]

Wow!!!! Nice fleet of locomotives you have there.🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@bradleyogden5688]

Have you thought about building a GP38-3 the 5800s?

[@BrendanMazaleski]

Great video, as always Josh. What are your thoughts on AC44C6Ms? I seem to recall a kitbashing video you made a while back but I've also heard a rumor Scale Trains is working on some. Any thoughts?

[@RandomGamesProductions]

Can you tell me where you sell your locomotives as i would be interested in purchasing some.

[@vanguardactual1]

Do you make 3 d printed parts? The reason I ask is I have 2 GE engines in 7.5 inch gauge 1/6- 1/8th scale backyard train locos. One is a Santa Fe C44-8 regular cab & a CSX B40-8 regular cab also. Both have the Dash 9 exhaust stack but according to your video I need to change them a bit. It looks like I could add a 3d printed piece to the top of the dash 9 exhaust stack & it would look a lot more prototypical or at least better.

[@NorthStarRailfan]

SD60M!! YESS THERE IS ONE

[@The_Duggler25]

Thought you had some CN power

[@canadianlocomotivelogistics]

Josh, can i send you my #LocoCabCan to make videos with on your layout?

[@tuckersmith1516]

How do you get the sounds for them?

[@1lik3tr41ns]

Hey also one locomotive you could add is a ns AC44C6M

[@GhostRed09]

Can you put links to the websites to get the locos you have and I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me with my layout which is still in works.

[@TherealJamorieDesean]

That CSX 835 is a es44ah low numberboard not to be a geek but yeah.

[@railfaningthegreatlakescen8441]

You should run NS es44 with 611 and 5 gondolas

[@user-vh1uc6in7b]

Awesome Norfolk Southern HO scale trains what can I want for Christmas HO scale trains thank you Santa.

[@kcgrailgilbert8466]

Sure was lot of ns locomotives on the table

[@tacticalcalebgaming7264]

Nice SD80MACs

[@DARKKNIGHT56999]

only 1High Hood Sad :(

[@mikeberthold1593]

Good grief... that is well over $10,000.00 worth of engines👍

[@denveroutlaws06]

Can you do a rolling stock roster?

[@cactusrailfan31]

Thats gotta be 10-15k worth of locomotives

[@railfaningthegreatlakescen8441]

I have never seen you run a steamer
