Custom Run MTH GP35 hits our O Scale layout - new projects and a layout update

[@jimmelchin1531]

A beauty of an engine. There's always a little tidbit to learn from your videos. Today's was dynamic braking.....👍

[@TheLEMRR]

Thanks for watching (and listening?), Jim. Appreciate you stopping by on a football Sunday.

[@DelHudson1]

Just came across your video and became a new subscriber. Love your weathering and scenery. The Conrail caboose turned out awesome.

[@TheLEMRR]

Wow - thanks for the compliments! Made my day. Welcome aboard!

[@doctordeath.5716]

Great crew talk with the RF&P brother and this is the first I have ever seen this locomotive, how cool.

[@TheLEMRR]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@doctordeath.5716]

@@TheLEMRR You are welcome brother. I always enjoy your videos.

Nice update. Really like what you did with the caboose. Not over the top but enough to show it's been on the road for some time. Also like the fascia work. It does so much to frame the layout.

[@TheLEMRR]

Thanks, Dave - a little here and a little there, right?

[@jeffbabitt9173]

Love the update! Keep the videos coming, the layout is looking amazing.

[@TheLEMRR]

Thanks Jeff! Have a lot going on - can’t wait to show what’s in the works currently

[@huntercoleman460]

Really nice GP35 diesel friend.

[@TheLEMRR]

Thanks Hunter - I think Randy saw it and couldn’t help himself, lol

[@Dakman]

The scenery looks really great. Yeah most of the Conrail caboose were run down. However Norfork Southern just repainted #22137 back to Conrail again. They use it for a shoving platform

[@TheLEMRR]

That's interesting to hear, Shawn. I might have to look that up and recreate it since our layout is primarily NS and CSX (though I don't think I've ever had an NS video, lol)

​@@TheLEMRRI have photos of it sent to me from a Conrail Shared Asset Operations engineer. Before and after photos. It's stationed in North Jersey

[@TheLEMRR]

Sweet - looks like somebody snapped a pic in August and posted it in the rrpicturearchives. Thanks for the heads up!

[@doctordeath.5716]

Kick ass job pn the conrail caboose brother and great weathering job and patched up windows. ❤

[@TheLEMRR]

Fun project - I like how it turned out. Thanks!

[@doctordeath.5716]

@@TheLEMRR I say it is a fun project brother, I would like to get the air brush and conpressor kit I saw at a place I was out at and it is a great looking kit for a beginner, I never have done air brushing at all.

[@TheLEMRR]

I bought mine off of Amazon for about $80 shipped. You don't need to spend a ton. Just make sure you clean it well after every use.

[@johnmarshallcoalcountytrai2441]

Nice work on the caboose.....

[@TheLEMRR]

Thanks man - it was a fun little project
