Hey that AHM c424 looks familiar (looks over to my AHM c424) I have an AHM c424. My grandfather passed away in 2017. After he passed away, I and my parents drove up to Greeneville, TN to help clean up his house and make funeral arrangements. Just last year, my grandmother gifted me his old AHM spirit of 76 train set.

P.S. I've even owned an all gear drive, flywheel equipped, super running locomotive chassis that only had the inside axle of each six wheel truck driven. Very strange, but it has operated for over forty years, and still runs great. I wish that I could find a brand name, but nothing. Looks like a Lionel HO six axle version of the Lionel GP-9 chassis supplied by Athearn. I put a heavy metal Baldwin BP-20 Passenger Sharknose body on it and it will pull nine streamlined passenger cars, but any more cars requires adding the B unit. 💙 T.E.N.

Nice unboxing, Harrison. I was hoping someone would get the Fragile reference as we near the holiday season, and seeing it written on the parcel. Anyhow, the N scale RDC is a Rail Diesel Car. Starting in 1949, RDCs were built by the Budd Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were primarily used singly for rural passenger service, but sometimes with multiple units set up with different interior seating/baggage configurations. Via Rail in Canada still has two RDC-2s in use. Also of interest, the Budd Company collaborated on the Burlington Zephyr, and New York Central Railroad set a speed record in 1966 with an RDC. So much history, check out this link. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd_Rail_Diesel_Car Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

The ATSF 0-4-0 is a B&O Class C-16, the famous "Dockside" or "Little Joe" "The C-16 class switchers were the last 0-4-0 steam locomotives built for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. They were assigned to the Baltimore, Maryland "Pratt Street Line" along the Inner Harbor, and to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania waterfront trackage. Initially constructed as saddle tank engines, nos. 96 and 99 were given tenders in later years. After the saddle tank was removed in 1926 they were then given the classification of "C-16A" (Nos. 97 and 98 remained unchanged.) The diminutive size and short wheelbase were required to handle the tight curves of these lines. No. 99 was scrapped in 1944. No. 97 was renumbered 897 in 1950 and scrapped in 1951. No. 98 was renumbered 898 in 1950 and also scrapped in 1951. Nicknamed "Little Joe" by railroad workers, they became famous to several generations of model railroad enthusiasts through construction of HO, S & O scale models of the "Dockside" switcher. Arguably one of the best known of all steam locomotive models for half a century, versions of the C-16 have been offered by Varney, Rivarossi, Gem, Life-Like, Pacific Fast Mail, MTH and others" Be interesting to see if you could collect one from each manufacturer.

Hello SMT - The Amtrak F unit is painted in the first Amtrak color scheme - known as " Phase One ". Many of Amtrak's passenger cars were still painted in the original color schemes of the private railroads when Phase One was being applied to the locomotives. That means you can authentically run the F unit with your Tyco Santa Fe passenger cars! The Burlington Northern also took many years to repaint locomotives & cars from the predecessor railroads, so you can put the BN caboose on the end of a freight that is pulled by a Great Northern, Burlington Route, Northern Pacific, Spokane Portland & Seattle, or Frisco locomotive!

I have a loco which seems to be near identical if not exactly the same as that Pensy 2-6-0. It's... a piece of junk. At least, in the condition I found it in. It's very cheaply made- mine is branded PlayArt, but I get the feeling that it must have been offered under more than one brand since the model sent to you doesn't say PlayArt on the bottom. I don't run mine, it has a split gear which I tried to fix and didn't really have success with. It is very simple inside, though. It has a can motor. One of my good friends has an N scale layout he's working on getting back in service again, and his locomotives haven't been used in years, so I've been helping him out by tuning them up and cleaning the wheels. One of the things I worked on was his Kato RDC- I found it very easy to work on once I understood how everything fits together. It didn't really *need* any work, it was running okay, but I wanted to check up on it. I decided it could use new lubricant- the performance didn't change much but long term I think it will be beneficial for the mechanism. His Kato F40s are incredibly smooth runners... they definitely made/make good stuff.

The first engine is I think sold by Life-Like (Model Power also sold this but with a different tender). The engine is actually German I think and first made by Playart. LL added the American style tender. The MP one I have has a plastic motor cradle that is loose and I thought maybe super glue would fix it. Roco Spirit of 1776 C424 was sold in the US by AHM. A few small bits are shared with the FA and Shark sold by Model Power, but the drive is all it's own beast. BN caboose is an Athearn Santa Fe Dockside is Life-Like Kato Budd is a good score. BHP hopper is Life-Like, old Varney tooling I agree, a Life-Like set, engine is their standard GP38-2 and I do not believe any of those went to Australia

Very cool stuff Harrison@SMT Mainline! Learned something neat about that Athearn BN caboose from Jason@Train Freak. You may notice the letter P on the sides and on the cupola, that means it's what's called a "pool" caboose. These cabeese can run on other Railroads without having to be switched out for the host Railroad's own equipment. I actually have the same caboose as well. Also you can still find replacement trucks for the Life-Like hopper on Ebay or Kadee also makes a talgo style truck equipped with knuckle couplers should you decide to go that route.

The Australian national loco was in operation in australia in the 80/90’s and were Australia’s country wide freight service and use to pull the famous Ghan loco but Australian National went out of business when pacific national was introduced and each state started making there own freight services so they don’t run any more and those models are quite common in aus if you want to find more I would recommend Australian modeller they sell all Australian trains and carriages

To be more precise, Australian National never had GP38s. This Life-Like loco is a factory repaint in the livery. They are cheap, but they run okay, and I've even seen one on a layout at a show that was DCC chipped!

Shipping costs from North America to Australia having skyrocketed. I collected Aussie trains for a couple of decades and sold most rolling stock a decade ago before shipping made it unrealistically expensive. I'm left with a couple dozen locos, but due to the cost of shipping, they will sit in my display case and my heirs will have to deal with disposal when I'm gone. Just not worth it. (And they are nice to look at anyway.)

I'm guessing the rising price of fuel and added carbon taxes have been why they've gone up so much. I remember when $15 seemed expensive for shipping.
