[@jamesmelchin2873]

It's always a pleasure to see custom run engines.....she's a beauty ! Thanks Eric

[@erictrainman]

Thanks for watching! Hoping to have a few more custom runs come in soon

[@realtoytrains]

What a deal!! Reminds me how much I love MTH too bad they did what they did. Awesome video Eric, love the layout seem to always see something new. -RTT

[@erictrainman]

Thanks man! Agreed, hope Mth continues to put out product

[@scottstrainloft5965]

That is an awesome video Eric. I can't wait for my SP AS-616 to come in and get her on the layout. Thanks for sharing.

[@erictrainman]

Enjoy it! Mth did a nice job with them

[@danielboone3770]

I love the collection and layout! Plus the new diesel's awesome!

[@erictrainman]

Thank you very much!

[@lifeislucci]

MTH does the best crew talk, it’s actually entertaining. I wish Lionel would do the same one day

[@erictrainman]

Some of the new Lionel engines have more but yes agreed

[@trainwild]

Very nice video! I enjoyed watching, thanks! 👍

[@erictrainman]

Thank you very much!

[@trainwild]

@@erictrainman Your welcome!

[@artmellon8852]

Larry at Holly Beach is a great guy! I picked up the first run of this engine and never have run it, I moved and never put a layout up again. Cool to finally hear this run! I wonder if the first run has the same sounds. I also model PRSL since I grew up in South Jersey...My grandparents lived on 26th Street in Camden right up the street from Pavonia Yard...I actually drove a switcher as a kid thanks to a kind engineer.... I also rode the Budd cars to Atlantic City as a kid with my grandfather.... Awesome memories! This why I modeled the PRSL! Thanks for the Video!

[@erictrainman]

Very cool! Thanks for watching

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

That new engine of yours is making me extremely jealous! I love the PRSL, I like the PS3 ALCO Diesel Rumble, and the PFA which based itself around the PRSL area is something special! Thanks for sharing!

[@erictrainman]

Agreed! Mth did a really nice job with it

[@MattyCtrains]

Dude this is a perfect engine for your layout, PRSL had some fun and unique power on there system for sure! Great video! Making me Wanna start mixing this stuff in with my CnJ equipment The custom file is awesome!

[@erictrainman]

Thanks man, glad you liked it!

[@y2khdf150]

Great job, thanks for reviewing the PRSL, .I have been going to Larry's for years, Holly Beach Depot,

[@erictrainman]

Thanks for watching!

[@marslightmodeling1753]

I go to Wildwood every summer for you beach vacation. Holly Beach is a great shop! I picked up a Lionchief 0-8-0 last summer that I’ve done up for NKP. Walking down the boardwalk with new trains is a great experience everyone should try

[@erictrainman]

Very cool! Let me know if you’re down that way this summer, I’m probably on your way. Welcome to come by and run some stuff

[@RetroMikado]

This thing just screams PRSL!! Such a cool diesel and fits your road so well!! Awesome video dude!

[@erictrainman]

Thanks man! Fits in with what I model great

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

It's an all black paint job simple easy peasy can you use a pair of scissors? Then you can order the decals and paint an engine solid black and simply put the decals on you don't have to be a mechanic this was regular everyday h o Railroad in the old days if you wanted a locomotive to fit your prototype you painted it and you detail it yourself.

[@erictrainman]

It’s actually Brunswick green. Could I custom paint it myself? Absolutely. But by the time I buy the model, the paint, the custom decals. I really don’t save enough to justify the hours to strip it, prime, paint, do the stripes, etc. if I can buy a model with the paint job I want, it’s better for me personally

[@genemanno1533]

@@erictrainmanI’m assuming the point was it is always a personal feeling of accomplishment to do it yourself. Anybody can just shell out the cash and buy it all done. Color selection or color mixing will solve Brunswick green requirement. There are plenty of video’s on striping in non costic solutions and spray painting if one has never done it before.

[@huntercoleman460]

Neat engine Eric. Thinking of getting me some MTH.

[@erictrainman]

Go for it!

[@CountryBunkersTrains]

Very nice!! Where did those pine trees by the water tower/beginning scene come from? Those look great!

[@erictrainman]

Thanks man! They’re from scenery express, the 25 pack that they offer. They’re pretty good bang for the buck too

[@dalediethorn1481]

👍🇺🇸👍

[@Battleb0rn]

Should throw some Lehigh & New England stuff on your layout. My hometown was sort of their headquarters.

[@erictrainman]

I have a couple pieces of rolling stock somewhere I’ll have to pull out

[@mslickstrains]

I use to go to wildwood every year for vacation I had no clue there was a store there

[@erictrainman]

It’s a great rainy day activity!

[@thetrainboard2772]

Great detail on that engine. Probably the worst diesel horn I've ever heard...like the badly done lionel mpc era diesels. The engine sounds themselves are first rate

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

It is simply the old Premier model. Krewtok is so indicative of the useless crap they have on these locomotive you cannot hear the crew speaking on the radio from the outside of the locomotive even if they were screaming into the microphone. Any at all sound effects become cacophonous noise after a while and then it gets turned off just like the smoke unit any diesel that smokes like a toy diesel does would be on its way to the shop. Any steam locomotive putting out smoke like a toy train would have the firemen called on the carpet for overfiring the engine. You guys loved all the bells and whistles until the bells and whistles stop working and you have a heart attack when you see how much it is going to cost you to get it fixed. Let me put it this way myo 27 mph turbine had a short circuit MTH wanted more than what I paid for the train to fix it then they wanted me to pay postage so I could get it back and I told them they could throw the piece of shit out in the garbage. I have many of the conventional subway car set and their add-ons I have lots of their Rolling Stock and I bought four of their train set for the same price as the separate sale locomotive with the PS2. You pay more for the electronics inside the locomotive that what you pay for the whole locomotive. That's why I have 50 Williams locomotive.

[@erictrainman]

Cool. I like all the bells and whistles. To each his own 🤷‍♂️
