this was the very first video I watched from you guys

[@gardentrains]

I hope it was not the last!

[@Turnpike_]

I remember watching this as a kid when it had just come out. I was 7. Man I miss rushing home from school everyday and watching videos like this.

[@gardentrains]

Look for a new series coming soon.

[@RRIA_America]

This video was from my child hood

[@TRARP05]

Me three

[@SKYWALKER33946]

I’m not the only one yaaAAA

[@ducker1942]

AWESOME LOCO! NICE VIDEO!

[@andrewchapman2024]

Is "large scale online" still a thing? If so, how can I access it?

[@gardentrains]

Large scale online went off-line several years ago however, we still provide information here at the GardenTrains KZbin site and for 2023 we are having a rebirth on KZbin and will be move active. Now that I have retired I have more time.

[@andrewchapman2024]

@@gardentrains good to know, thank you for the info. 👍

[@DOTSAE]

I'm curious to see if there are improvements and even better quality in the upcoming NEW ULTIMATE SERIES "AS REAL AS IT GETS", CPKC SD70MAC - Limited Run... In any case, I have expressed my interest in it to my dealer and he has put me on the "interest list" and will contact me as soon as he has news, the price and you can order it. I've already told him that he can convert it to DCC straight away. Using a ZIMO MX699LSE decoder and suitable adapter board or then install an ESU XL LokSound 5 DCC. Possibly he should replace the USAT "Smoke Unit (Fan Driven)" with a piezo water vaporizer with fan drive.

[@Trainmasterryan]

why does this loco have knuckle couplers when the gp30 and other locos come with hook and loop couplers

[@UnionPacific1943]

I like that BNSF SD75M that is G scale one of the big trains I wish I would have one like that I get a UP SD70ACe or a UP ES44AC and BNSF ES44C4 or and Dash9

[@railfanbb4223]

#missingthemacs they stopped making them…

[@gardentrains]

Yes. From the USA Trains site: “The SD70 Mac Locomotives will be manufactured again in the future. Watch for Announcement.”

[@railfanbb4223]

I wonder if they are going under for a redesign.

[@TNRailProductions_01]

Wonderful review! Odd question, but what is the name of the song that plays at the end of the video for the credits?

[@gardentrains]

Thanks for watching. It is some random music that was generated by an old piece of software that Sony made. The software is no longer available and we’ve had that sound clip for dozen years.

[@TNRailProductions_01]

@@gardentrains was it with a Sony editing service?

[@gardentrains]

It was some software that they sold that worked with their video editing software.

[@TNRailProductions_01]

@@gardentrains Ah I see. I’m trying to get my hands on that music, just can’t seem to find it anywhere

[@gardentrains]

How you made it.

[@400exNick]

All CSX and NS locomotives have flashing ditch lights thats a fact. All UP and BNSF locomotives i've seen don't for some reason. Must not be required out west?

[@strangledparrot]

they are not all air hoses. the line nearest the coupler is the only one that carries air. the rest are MU (multiple unit) cables.

[@BillybobJoelikestrains]
