[@randydobson1863]

Hi Rick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Rick & Friends Randy

[@johnathanlewis2049]

Hi Rick! Nice to see that GP38 in action again. You should post that locomotive over in the Orange area as the local switcher. Have a great day!!

[@brianr5461]

Love seeing the GP38 running again. Time to give it some Locomotive shop love! This locomotive inspired me to build a patched GP40. Thanks Rick.

[@scottstuart8670]

Hey Lieutenant Dan,…. Errr I mean engineer Rick! You sound so much better! Hope you’re feeling better. Speaking of sound I prefer the lower settings. However I can control the sound on the device that I view So Cal on. Thank You for your dedication to this outstanding hobby.

[@zacharyhale1681]

[@craigcorson1235]

Glad to see 588 back in action again. I've missed it. Thank you for another fine switching video.

[@josephjurkovic875]

I have to tell you Rick have all the train videos that I watch you are the most entertaining and your layout is the best

[@mikedurhan9941]

That old EsPee patch-job Geep 38-2 is a locomotive with a lot of character. Rick, you can trust me on this........ FIX THEE LIGHTS!! Pul-leeze! It's my dying wish!!! (well, maybe not, but I hope that lends a sense of urgency). Thanks for another great video.

[@Bardwell_Junction]

Did the decoder change out require resistors to be added? I found out the hard way that not all decoders come with resistors added! 😞

[@beeble2003]

@@Bardwell_Junction Yes, that was teh issue, as far as I remember.

[@josephjurkovic875]

Sounds great

[@ianroberts6929]

Nice session!

[@socalscalemodels]

Thanks!!

[@angelopadmesclonedwife205]

When the locomotive stalled on the road. Realistically you could said. 1. Waiting for the conductor to unlock the derail device before proceeding. 2. Waiting for permission from the industry.

[@rickyhammond36]

nice little vid !! thanks Burr.

[@socalscalemodels]

bang!

[@doublediamondrailroad5949]

Send that SP to GA Bigfoot Trains. He will fix you up with anything it needs or wants. 😊

[@richardschwind5076]

Love that still no lights, it’s been a long time Rick,get in touch with me, send it to me I will fix the lights and the speaker issue,and send it back to you, I have been doing custom sound and lighting and painting for 25-30 years now, i’d be more than happy to help that locomotive have some lights!

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

It's good to get a full length video - I was about to say the last 2 or 3 have been half videos, but I know you've been sick so..... U about to burn the batteries out of that camera with videos of this length.

[@dennisbailey6067]

You have the brake air release turned up? So you can hear it? That is a Tsu2?

[@davidbrown4823]

588 has been quiet for a while.

[@jcure]

But it's 5am Rick. (I fell and my back etc is keeping me from sleeping) but what's your excuse😅? Go Espee!

[@johncox9198]

Good session, the sound is a bit much, Project for the week-get lights in that loco.

[@socalscalemodels]

Yes I agree

[@TrainWaybills]

2 videos in 2 days. Its Christmas already :)

[@johntotten1611]

Any reason you moved the BN boxcar and didn't take it with you?

[@socalscalemodels]

it was in the offspot waiting to be moved to the industry

[@RichardProvost-n6c]

Are you ever going to modernize your turnouts and make them automatic

[@socalscalemodels]

no, keeping it prototypical

[@skyking6989]

Headlights??? We don't need no stinking headlights

[@FGLKPaul]

Hey Rick, if you're interested, and willing to trust a random KZbinr, maybe we could coordinate something for 588. LED lighting is sort of my specialty. Could be fun for us to collaborate. I'd do the work free of charge and just make a video about it for my Channel, and maybe you could do a reaction/ops video once you've got it back, and give my channel a plug. Feel free to let me know if it's something you're interested in. We can coordinate the specifics elsewhere. 😁

[@socalscalemodels]

Thanks for the offer but already working on the lights for the locomotive.

[@FGLKPaul]

@@socalscalemodels great, excited to see the finished product!

[@mattausterberry2323]

We finally have a real President again. Congrats my republican brother. May reloading components and model railroading become affordable again. Bout damn time!! Great video saw these geeps lots in mesa,az days!!
