HO Scale Railfanning on the Miami Valley Modular Railway

Great vid John !

The Milwaukee Road and Conrail trains look so realistic they'd pass for the real thing. Looks like a nice size layout to build a big train. PS. The. MILW Auto Parts boxcar two from the end was perfect weathering as I never remember any of them in clean decent paint

Thank you so much! The Conrail train is my son’s. That MILW auto parts car I weathered from a photo in the Morning Sun freight roster book.

So, the one train at 10:33 was delivering new AMC Pacers to dealerships??? I LOVE IT!

[@beerlinemodeler]

Those are actually AMC Gremlins. I made that several years ago, the company that made them is long gone. My son and I are tweaking some 3D files, we hope to print vehicles in mass so we can fill more open racks.

@@beerlinemodeler LOL, I love it even more then. Even the name "Gremlin" was bad not to mention the car. The two cars that unfortunately brought the demise to AMC - the Gremlin and the fishbowl known as the Pacer. I loved the Javelin and it's a shame they are gone. If they would have made more cars like the Javelin and improved their quality, they may still be around.

Good video and nice layout. What is that engine that passes at 3:20? I don't think I've ever seen one like that.

[@beerlinemodeler]

That is a steam turbine. I think only one prototype was ever built. It’s a brass model.

[@genej43]

More interesting locos at 9:40. What were these?

[@beerlinemodeler]

High hood Alco Centuries.

Sorry, I want nothing to do with railfanning... Just looking at cars go by is my kind of watching paint dry!!!

[@beerlinemodeler]

Then don’t watch it.
