Mexican Motive Power Arrives! Plus: A New Brewery | Alta Railway 13

[@chicagolandrailroader]

I love the shorty RDC. That should be a pretty unique unit when you're done. All of the additions and changes you have made look great. Thanks!

[@PrinzEugen176]

that Alta SD45 is beautiful

[@forestreese1704]

For the plastic gears, remove the axle, slide the gears to the side and score the shaft with a Dremel and cutoff wheel. Then put epoxy on the shaft and slide the gears back into place

[@InterurbanEra]

Great suggestion! I'll give it a go and report back. That definitely sounds like it'll work well.

[@jasonminier6782]

I want to see the little RDC project.

[@drewzdrew27]

nice Western Pacific power!

[@brassdog89]

@Interurban Era Good on Atlas for finding those shells for you! Could you pass along who it was you spoke to there? My patience is thinning while i wait for an H16-44 Master Locomotive Series box to pop up on eBay. 😅

[@InterurbanEra]

Honestly either of the guys in the parts department are great. Just give them a call 9-4pm EST to inquire.

[@sernajrlouis]

Awesome

[@epidemicsound]

🎶 track? It’s *Between The Waves* by *Chris Shards* - and yes we are THRILLED to be your trusted provider. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmeXYWqXlNSEkLc // Epidemic Sound

So who makes that Falcon wagon that appeared in a few shots?

[@InterurbanEra]

It's an Australian spec Falcon wagon made by the questionably named company "Road Ragers". The model overall is absolutely excellent quality, full interior and crisp paint. You can grab them on eBay

[@kpen9764]

That SD45 looks sooo good in that late ALTA scheme livery. The project I'm interested for you to complete or start is that AN 930 you got ;)

[@InterurbanEra]

YES!! I'd love to so the AN 930 class soon. I've got a PA and an FA to do first to "set the standard" for how I want it to look, and then we're good to go.

[@zenontrainstrucks9433]

The "rail" grade crossing looks cool! I think they have one at Niles canyon.

[@TheTransportationFanfromCA]

Any thought of doing more Mexican steam like a bachmann 2-8-0?

[@InterurbanEra]

Plenty of thought actually! Steam takes a LOT more time to kitbash, and I've got a couple of NdeM, and ALTA steam currently being built. Stay tuned for multiple steam engines this year.

[@KronoGarrett]

Oh, that's a cattle grid at the rail crossing.

[@StocktonSubber]

What company makes that WP GP9 in the thumbnail and in 4:11? I’ve been looking for a WP GP9 to add a little more WP flavor into my branch line.

[@InterurbanEra]

That's just an Athearn Genesis model. I got this from a friend, but you can buy the DC model for ~$125 on ebay. I'd suggest that and then add a Loksound v5 decoder in it.

[@StocktonSubber]

@@InterurbanEra Ah alright then! I already have an Athearn Genesis GP7, so It shouldn’t be too different from that.

[@deannakinsey2888]

i got 3 questions/ wishes 1 will the intururban line feature pacific electric cars such as your pfp. 2 i would really hope to see a full video of trains running on your layout number 3 will the mainline has electricfiction . btw love the series

[@InterurbanEra]

1. Yes. I have a couple of ex-PE & SP Electric cars from Oakland & Portland that'll run on the layout. Still trying to hunt down a "Blimp" like my pfp, which has taken a while. 2. What kinds of trains would you like to see running? Been meaning to do another one now that I have more scenery. 3. This mainline models an unelectrified railroad, so only the interurban will be under wire. However that's not an insignificant amount of track and it'll feature electric freight and passenger operations!

[@deannakinsey2888]

@@InterurbanEra 2 i would love to see mecican passenger trains running on the layout as there are not any videos of mexican passenger trains

[@InterurbanEra]

Sure! I've got a couple I'm working on that would be fun to feature.
