HO Unstoppable Locomotive Unboxing - AWVR 777

[@railsofontario3029]

You are correct the locos in unstoppable are CP locos. And they are actually still in service! There was 2 of each made stunt doubles I’d bet. And something that bugged me is 777 didn’t have its iconic black and yellow plow but I love you added them! excellent haul too!

[@rdrogel1116]

They are actually AC44CWs

[@Benthetrainkid]

@@rdrogel1116 Though classed as AC4250-HJE in the locomotive's builder's plates in the film

[@richardsweeney197]

On a diesel they are pilots, cow catchers are steam. These are great, and your additions really improved them. Now if you can find the hero locomotive to go with them.

[@thunderturbine8860]

Glad to know those locomotives are still in service

[@SMTMainline]

I wish Canadian Pacific had left them as is, it would have been interesting to see them running around. I'm sure the numbers would have to be changed legally though.

[@qwincyq6412]

Nice to see a vendor who took such care in packaging, even protecting the railings like a manufacturer would. A good find

[@SMTMainline]

Yeah, not too many are good at that.

[@andresmr2014]

​@@SMTMainline ❤777😮😊🎉

[@Fxe4014]

They are definitely an excellent addition to the collection!

[@SMTMainline]

Thanks, I agree!

[@olgabelous]

Yeah I agree too😊

[@kaedenthecsxamtrakandthoma8318]

Cool locomotive and do you have a turbo train

[@LIMPGUITAR]

Great work mate! First the locomotives from "runway train" and now these! Also you might want to take it slow around the curves when pulling tankers!

[@SMTMainline]

Yep, better apply some hand breaks to help slow down the train.

[@usmarinecorps1775]

I can tell how excited you are due to the fact of how much your hands are shaking that locomotive looks awesome

[@sclewell777]

That film was made only about 60 miles from my house. Filmed on the Ex Conrail Nittany and Bald Eagle Rail Road. Norfolk Southern still uses it occasionally with coal drags or detours. It still has the old Pennsylvania Railroad Signals in operation.

[@SMTMainline]

That's awesome, did you ever get to visit the sites where they were filming?

[@sclewell777]

@SMT Mainline no but it was featured in RailPace Magazine. Bellfonte PA was one location. The tracks are welded rain so they could go track speed which I think is 50mph.

[@traxxasfan3674]

That’s amazing looking. I’m been trying to find some myself, possibly my favorite train movie ever. Now we need a “movie scene” kinda like what you did with the runaway snow train. Love the vid great find 👌

[@jackbehm8204]

Your layout is coming along nicely. Always enjoy your videos.

[@richardvoran5514]

The layout is looking great, and your photography is excellent! Wonderful video 👏

[@SMTMainline]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

[@Railfantastic]

Cool! Certainly happy to see these locomotives running!

[@michaelhardeman6004]

Liked that you painted the cow catchers yellow and black stripes. So good detail. Also liked that the seller put cardboard in front of the handlebars, so they don't break off during shipping.

[@minhluong2137]

so that 767 is the best

[@AussieFarmGuy]

Unstoppable is based on something that happened in 2001. CSX had a runaway and its road number is 8888 also known as the crazy eights story

[@SMTMainline]

I've heard of that one before, crazy story.

[@AussieFarmGuy]

@@SMTMainline where i learned that story is from a KZbinr called high iron and all of his videos are about history and why of trains. Also my dad finshed high school in 2001.

[@EliasLarsson-ck6qn]

I learned it from thunderbolt 1000 siren productions, didnt 8888 change to a square cab loco?

[@Blaze06]

@@EliasLarsson-ck6qnyes it has been rebuilt into SD40-3 #4389 with a new cab

[@Ryokoluxnudes]

What makes that movie even better other than it being based on a true story. Only one part at the end was CGI the rest of the movie was all practical. Done with real trains.

[@BrightsTrainsNTrucks2023]

Now you have to get CP 9777 & 9758. (former AWVR 777, & 767)

Glad you enjoyed it

[@newenglandfantasypainthobbies]

My favorite movie! Now you need the 1206

[@randallellison6421]

Very nice Harrison, they look spiffy with the new snowplows too!

[@MattKonsol]

The stripes oh yeah I definitely would agree on it man.

[@SMTMainline]

@@MattKonsol I didn't have great paint but I'm happy with them.

[@RailRide]

@@SMTMainline Here's a paint protip should you feel inclined to re-do the stripes: Before painting the yellow, spray the plows with black first.This will seal the masking tape's edges and prevent the lighter color from getting under the edge, making for a sharp color separation. (Also, check out Diecast Resurrection's channel. While focused on Hot Wheels restorations/customs, his painting process (especially in the earlier videos) is covered in detail well enough to be instructional and inspirational (and he's also Canadian, so that's got to count for something, eh? 😁 )

[@MattKonsol]

@@SMTMainline that’s alright at least you did a fine job on it

[@sparky107107]

well that is just the wildest thing I have seen you run. I bet there will be many requests each live stream to run those two. I really love the sound from them passing by when you have the camera nice and close for a run by

[@SMTMainline]

I think it should be nice to see something new out on the layout.

[@UnionPacificTrainMan1988]

AWVR 777 and AWVR 767 have made it to the layout all you need is AWVR 1206 and a train car consist and this would look pretty awesome

[@SMTMainline]

I'm currently on the look for 1206

[@josephbugaj8149]

@@SMTMainline you’re not the only one. I’m hoping to find all three, and maybe (by a lucky longshot) those other two SD40-2s used for the lashup in the movie, 7375 and 7346.

Even just a dummy loco 1206, to the rear.

Love the colors on the 777 locomotive and great job on painting the cow catcher for the diesel engine and put it on both locomotives!!

[@qdogccfc8258]

Darn right That Unstoppable was a good movie It was a GREAT movie I own it on KZbin and when I first bought it, I was watching it OVER & OVER again Very good movie

[@SMTMainline]

When it came out on DVD I watched it four times haha

[@casstelles]

I'm one of the few people who wasn't too impressed with the movie, but the engines look great with the addition of new plows on the locos. If you get a chance, there are some detail parts on the trucks (such as the brake cylinders) and the air tanks off of the fuel tanks which are missing (know from having the models) to complete the models. Also, I liked how the seller protected the handrails of the locos during shipment. It's nice to see that they were not all bent up from shipping.

[@SMTMainline]

The seller did an excellent job with packaging!

[@ScottRods]

I was literally about to search for the Unstoppable locos, and here you are, lol. Very nice, and great video as always.

[@kennethhanks6712]

"Unstoppable" WAS rather cheesy but it did have a pretty good cast and was based on an actual event. Hollywood just can't seem to resist taking good stories and juicing them up to increase (supposedly!) The dramatics.

[@knight_flyer1199]

They need people to want to watch the movie. Pearl Harbor was ripped apart by history and aviation experts for a new level of inaccuracy and yet that movie was a big box office success. The average cinema joe want to see those action scenes - it's why the Marvel movies make billions in profit.

[@Santaanacanyon]

You got it right on every point. The TRUE story, which was well reported at the time, was relatively boring compared to the film. However, a town WAS in danger of being ground zero of an enormous environmental catastrophe IF the train had not been stopped.

[@canadianbehaviour8280]

Damn those are nice! Great find bud

Whatup, all you need to do is add ditch lights and those AVR locos will be fabulous. It'll be nice if Athearn or ScaleTrains can make them if Denzel Washington approves it LOL. I love how you made the train looked like a runaway. Your train layout is dope👍👍👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 and a brotha (with long dreadlocks) is loving it fam. I got a massive HO empire (200+ locos DC and DCC and nearly 2,000 freight cars, buildings from various manufacturers) but got a lot of work to do building it.

[@Railfan8287]

Super cool unboxing!!

[@jmm2000]

You'll also need a couple of SD40-2s to be the lash up units that derailed ahead of 777 and 767 in the movie. Athearn has "blue box" locomotives that'll work great; either one can be powered or attach a solid connecting bar between both engines and make one with power and the other a non-power unit.

[@SMTMainline]

I'm on the market for some.

Very Envious Harrison, I love the movie Unstoppable and would love to have 1206 running on a layout. These engines look awesome and the improvements you made really added to them.

[@garysprandel1817]

Well now you've got Unstoppable represented and I'm pretty sure I've spotted the Runaway Train power consist sitting on the layout but considering outside of some quick footage of an approach to the old Northwestern station in Chicago the entire film was shot up in your neck of the woods I'm surprised you haven't tried to aquire an Amroad Silver Streak from the Gene Wilder Richard Pryor movie Silver Streak. Also one of the very few Hollywood runaway trains with an actually plausible reason for it to runaway.

[@SMTMainline]

There's also a Daylight in the collection so "Tough guys" from 1986 is covered. Gotta work on getting a silver streak.

[@ronaldrondeau7870]

Great you have find some beauty and they have a great sound to

Now all you need is the SD40-2 in the rear of the train and to have a shelf for you movie trains. It would look good next to your run away train.

[@Jvthepro]

Beautiful Engines 😁

[@kylederry5031]

This movie was based on the CSX 8888 " crazy eights" incident. The movie got most of it right actually, I was surprised. The units were leased to the shoot by CP Rail the lead unit was CP9777. It was re painted red for return to service but kept the black and yellow striped plow. It was involved in an accident and finally plow was just painted black after repairs

[@SMTMainline]

I wish they had left the paint as is

[@kylederry5031]

@SMT Mainline I know right? If I was the boss I'd be like " we just got a free paint job" just put the CP logo back on and we could recognize the triple 7 everywhere she goes.

I have a good suggestion, and it’s where you buy a bunch of HO scale train track and then you buy a whole bunch of cars and then use all the other cars you have make one massive train
