Frisco 1522 in HO scale. First run after a complete rebuild.

[@b3_Media]

unbelievable. Ten years later, just seeing this video. How amazing. i saw 1522 when I was a kid in the early 2000s and have always wanted a model like this. I cannot believe the sound, and even the chugg sound just like I remember in north texas. I hope to see another video of this soon.

[@mr.juicebox5484]

What a beautiful Layout you have it look amazing

[@FKHTrump2024]

Nice I see your using Ken Patterson’s layout, after seeing pictures of his family, and all his magazine shots of his photographic work, and all his layout modules outside in the backyard, regardless of his layout those locos look great and sound great

[@thomasbush5778]

Love your layout. And 1522 blows my mind, the engine, the water tender, and the STLSTA passenger cars are all amazing. Very well done and thanks for sharing!

[@jacobhinojosa6462]

That’s one fantastic locomotive #1522

[@klrwhizkid]

Joe, that model looks excellent and the sound is fantastic. I really like the auxilliary water tender as well. You have done very well!

[@TheGreatRailroadProductions]

I like the ho 1522. Nice one

[@mechatrain150]

this layout is epic!

[@adamhinkle7982]

Awesome model! I really like that you can hear the engine over the washer spinning.

[@wsflco]

Nice view from your back yard!

[@dagger1-140]

I would kill for one of those. It’s a beautiful model of the deal and the sound is fantastic

[@131joe]

Good news!!! They are getting ready to release the 1522 in HO scale soon. PFM

[@mopacproductions6669]

Joe Steimann who's getting ready to release 1522 soon

[@MrSouthernman73]

To my knowledge, TOBY(imported by PFM) was the only company to produce the 1500 series steam engine in the 70s. I have seen prices range from $500-1000K depending on whos selling it.

[@nssteampunk4865]

Love the sound of that engine!!! Hopefully the full-sized Frisco 1522 will return to service someday.

[@BigUnitBeef]

Very well done!

[@SamGadefrisco1630]

Awesome layout! Love the creativity of it! 1522 happens to be my favorite steamer

[@chazi898]

Dude u have an epic layout!

[@mopacproductions6669]

I just emailed broadway limited asking them if they were gonna make it and hey said it was a great suggestion for a future brass hybrid model 😁

[@EcHoryan98]

Nice boat. Ive seen it up at mark twain!

[@kourtneykaine4884]

This. is. AMAZING! I have a very detailed model of the Pere Marquette 1225, not as cool as 1522 though!

[@WhiteRiverRails]

That is an amazing locomotive!

[@skeetjeffcitysub86]

great job Joe I love it u should make me one sometime when i get the money

[@willblumenkemper6523]

Is the first bridge the Kimswick bridge? Are the bluffs cliff cave?

[@mgellis1971]

Nice job, Joe!! Love the sound.. Got to see the 1:1 scale one back in '01 down here in Texas. You can build one??? I have one Toby/PFM inhouse... hint, hint... :-)

[@trains_central]

What kind of Walthers cars are those

[@cameronthehedgehog261yt]

Lionel would see this and make it if you help them how you make it

[@zeldasword3359]

I want one

[@Jaidyn228]

Can you show us how you did it

[@zeldasword3359]

I recognize you

[@Jaidyn228]

From where

[@chessie-sn3sk]

so their is a kit you can buy and build it

[@131joe]

Nope... This engine was built in the 70's by Toby and imported by PFM and I took it all apart and added a lot of detail and 2 decoders and then painted it.

[@minisoul01]

This is that brass Frisco 1522 isn't it

[@zeldasword3359]

Send this to Frank

[@NorfolkFrisco611]

This is great work sir! Could anybody help me locate a Northern, or Mountain type? I'm trying to complete my current HO collection, and would be interesting in procuring one of those two types in the SLSF banner.

[@tmlafrance]

Sweet layout. You didn't happen to have this at the OKC train show did you?

[@131joe]

Yes it was there!!

[@trains_central]

What kind of sound decoder is this? And you did a great job by the way.

[@131joe]

it's a Soundtraxx heavy steam. Thanks, it's my favorite steam engine.

[@MCrafter12345]

I want one of these *so* bad

[@FKHTrump2024]

That’s Ken Patterson’s layout not his

[@BarteauRailArchives96]

GIMMIE

[@cwhuffman01]

Nice locomotive! But I have a question, how and what did you use to make the AUX tender or did you buy it like that?

[@131joe]

It was kitbashed from a ICG tender.

[@chessie-sn3sk]

how did you get that

[@131joe]

Started with a Toby brass engine and then turned it into a kit again then rebuilt it.

[@chrisscott8934]

Was this frisco 1522 from kitbash or is it a brass models?

[@someslavaboo7497]

It's a Toby/PFM make, it's in the description.

[@chrisscott8934]

I really like the gloos shine to it it's great

[@mopacproductions6669]

Just wish some of he modern day company’s made this engine Also it is my favorite steam engine

[@Idkjustgothere]

Where did you get the 1522 and the cars?

[@131joe]

Started with a Toby brass engine and then turned it into a kit again then rebuilt it. The water tender is a IC tender and the support cars are Walthers.

[@joenewstead4848]

[@131joe]

I bought it for $700.00 and after hundreds of dollars in parts and hundreds of hours detailing it I don't know how much I have in it. tws-rustbucket.com/thread/5645/frisco-1522-finally
