THESE TRAINS COST HOW MUCH?! RMT Ready Made Trains

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

RMT's always been a great value for the money spent from the beginning. I've got six of their "Beep" diesels and let me tell you, put two or more together and they'll pull anything! I wish they'd start making them again! If you're going to York I'm told Walt Matuch from RMT will be at the Henning's Trains booth so I'm definately stopping by and hoping I can say "Hello!" and "Thank you!" .W\\\\\\\\

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Yes he will I mentioned that toward the end of this video in the conclusion. Please stop by and tell him you saw my review video 😊

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

[@conductorjohnmthtrains2239]

Hi nick, thanks to your video I e-mailed rmt. Walter e-mailed me right back with his phone number😊. What a nice train dude. He told me when i order ore cars from my dealer he said tell them to call him to get dealer discount!

[@alanlough638]

Rmt trains are beautiful with alot of detail and very reasonably priced. Well done Nick. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 As always, Alan.

[@flyboyu777]

I plan on buying many more of the RMT's. Great detail and quality, especially for the price. You can always add better trucks if that's an issue-I saw some saying they weren't sprung somewhere else. Thanks for saving us money, RMT!!

[@ELWtrains]

Great job on video 👍 I got a few rmt cars they are very detailed and affordable I got the us sugar cars I think I paid $29 a piece for them they have sugar cane load that u can remove and make car into a boxcar which is nice 👍 I will buy more in future great video thanks for sharing

[@DeerbrookSouthernRR]

Greenberg’s is today. Might pick me up a few of these cars.

[@tomrogers5516]

Thanks for this excellent review of RMT rolling stock, PGH. What a fantastic buy these cars are! Thanks for this.

[@ESPEEandERIE]

The box design and freight car and diesel graphics were actually done by Michael Vickey of Vickey Graphics for his client Walter.

Nick i haven’t seen this entire review just yet but rmt did a nice paint job on that box car and thanks for showing this my friend 👍🚂

[@bobdutka1176]

Excellent vid!! TX for the time and effort. Well done!👍😃

[@CayceKing]

I like the how the coupler doesn't come out as far as Lionel and MTH.

[@Massimo765]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I have been wanting to know about these train cars.. Awesome video!!👌👌😎😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@chucksmodelrailroad]

Great review Hoss! Definitely a game changer when it comes to quality plus price. Can’t wait for the woodsides to start arriving! I don’t know how RMT did it but thank you.

[@harryhenninglll117]

Was glad walt sent you a couple of the scale cars. Lots of time put into them. They had to be full scale when we talked about them. The details had to be better than lionel or MTH. The truck details were designed off the old walthers style trucks with all the details and roll much better than most. And the prices had to be less than everyone else..... Hopefully you enjoy all the extra things put into these cars.

[@BIGlittleRailroad]

Harry..I enjoyed being at your booth at Train Collectors Association York, PA😅 train meet yesterday/Friday and meeting many many of your customers. Looked like the RMT cars pretty much sold out for you. Thanks for supporting RMT.

[@NemesisEnforcer4937]

Those are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Porschedude8]

Well done Nick! I'm so glad there are new companies that produce O gauge rolling stock. Especially in NJ.. 👏😊

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Agreed! Exciting! Thank you

[@tableseven8133]

I have several RMT cars and also the Aristocraft/RMT ones as well as many of the Beep engines. Nice stuff! The RMT rail cars I have from the earlier years, have springs on the trucks but the springs don't operate. ( I do think with the active springs rail cars do ride quieter. ) On a side subject, and I'm glad to see RMT did not do this. What the problem I see in the modern MFG; is some companies use the post war style pick up plate or other mechanisms hanging of the spinning axles. Sorry those mounting plates were designed for non-spinning axles, with the wheels that spin on the axles. Mixing that old style plate on the modern one pieces wheels and axles add a lot of wear to the train and drag on the load. If your's has that design remember to oil or grease the axles on the inside on those plate tabs area. I have a Menard's hopper that the coupler mechanism hangs around the spinning axles.

[@ChrisHessert]

You did an excellent presentation of these. Walter Matuch has been providing very reasonably priced 0 gauge products for over 2 decades. He's the last in the line of (now defunct) K-Line and Williams. I'm happy you scale lovers have a new line of Boxcars to enjoy. I'm more enthusiastic about RMT's 36' reefers. I believe this tooling came from K-Line.

[@BIGlittleRailroad]

All RMT tooling is brand new and made exclusively for RMT by the RMT factory. No K-line tooling is used. Just wait until 2025 for a few more surprises!

[@tulyar1043]

​​@@BIGlittleRailroad Do you make your freight cars for 2 rail? Looks like I maybe modelling in the wrong scale. Thanks.

[@alfonsolanzagorta5138]

N de M will order a bunch of them 😁

[@davevan8864]

RMT box car looks great. To be fair the Menards box car is a model of a X-29 and thus smaller than a PS-1. Both are scale Thanks for sharing.

[@nickltrains6952]

Nice review Nick. Both cars look great.

[@RocktCityTim]

Amazing looking models and a great price.

[@teschvalleyrailroad]

I have over a dozen RMT cars on pre-order with Patrick's Trains. He keeps adding roadnames that are rarely used by Lionel, MTH, or even Atlas!!! The Soo Line Soo Locks car is with UPS right now coming from Mr. Muffin!

[@AlentownTrains]

Great job, Walter.

[@RABSTRAINS]

They look awesome 👍👍

[@realtoytrains]

One word. HOW?? Those look amazing! Sign is up.

[@BIGlittleRailroad]

Walter (me) is a retired prototype railroad conductor and engineer ..Jersey Central, Rahway Valley, Erie-Lackawanna, Conrail, US NAVY, Kutztown Scenic... that likes and operates o-gauge trains. With over 20 years (since 1991) of model train industry experience , I have used this to create RMT and MAKE AFFORDABLE TRAINS AGAIN. I truly thank Nick for reviewing these freight cars.

[@NSModelRailRoading]

Love RMT. I agree on the box. If they are putting that much effort into the box you can only imagine what they put into the cars. I have some of the older TTX Flatcars and they are in my top 5 favorites out of everything I have. Awesome video!

[@PghTrainFanatic]

That’s really cool I’m going to have to find one. I never bought one before. Thank you for the nice comment! - Nick

[@BIGlittleRailroad]

@@NSModelRailRoading These RMT depressed center flatcars were made in early 2000s at a factory no longer used by RMT and are not part of the current RMT product line. Thanks for being an RMT customer.

[@NSModelRailRoading]

@@BIGlittleRailroad I knew they were old stock up front before buying them. Thank you for making great trains!

[@Chessie1985]

Awesome review of the cars and Nick i been looking at the C&O boxcar thru pat's trains made by RMT now im going to buy one those cars!!!

[@FortheloveofThomas84]

You know I think I remember seeing those trains when I visited Uncle John's Flea Market

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

The only time I can't be at York Walter will be at Hennings, yea I knew I was missing a good show.

[@ajmayowskijr]

Great review Nick. I will be buying a few of these awesome cars. I love the details.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Glad you like them Al! They’re the new best thing in O scale. Lionel and MTH can’t compete with this price point for just as nice of a car to be honest, If not nicer.

[@johnstup4479]

Great review Nick! Good detailing. Good pricing too. Will have to check them out at York.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

Please do! Thanks John!

[@rrotwang]

The maynards has an electric coupler

[@Jared-91]

Nice! I'm going to look for these at York

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Is RMT a new company? I have never heard of them before. Thanks for introducing this company to me Nick. I’m amazed at the detail for only $35. That’s the price of Weaver 20 years ago. 😃🚂👊

[@PghTrainFanatic]

No actually RMT has been around for a while. However, a lot of their previously run cars were less detailed and not full scale. The new premium line that they are making is fully scale and has see tons of realistic details every bit as nice as expensive line out and MTH cars, they’re also releasing Woodside reefers arriving this week. And I will be reviewing those as well. I’m really excited to see them.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

@@PghTrainFanatic I’m going to their website and checking out what they offer. I’m sure a purchase will happen too. 😃😆🚂👍

Ended up ordering two of the Soo Line custom run that Mr. Muffin did. Arrived today and I'm quite pleased with them.

[@randyluginbuhl9085]

Always loved RMT and I have many cars and Locomotives in my collection. However, I had trouble with the gauging on the trucks with these ore cars as they will not stay on the track. After contacting Walter in April, I have yet to receive the replacement trucks that were promised.

[@BIGlittleRailroad]

Replacement trucks will be arriving soon to RMT dealers. Will be announced on RMT website.

[@DRCRailroard]

Those are some nice-looking cars. l like how the paint on the boxcar is done that makes it look like actual metal. I must say I'm surprised. I thought you were going to pitch some kind of locomotives that were unnaturally short and stubby. Hum, scale cars behind unnaturally short locomotives. I don't get it. Spraying the ore loads with Testors dullcote would make them even more convincing by eliminating the plastic looking sheen.

[@johnmagnusson7545]

Very cool, Can these cars be ordered on RMT or do I have to goto like pats trains to order?

[@RailRide]

RMT no longer sells direct. You have to get their products from hobby retailers. Henning's and Pat's trains are a couple of them, there are others as well. Any hobby shop that can buy from Emery (the distributor) is a potential RMT dealer. RMT itself _might_ be able to tell you who carries their items in your area (makes sense, but I don't know for certain ).

[@777edmatt]

Can I ask you a question, do these trains run on a 027 curve? Thanks

[@don679]

Does anyone see the bottom details when it's on the track?

[@michaelmohrmann]

Will RMT be releasing any rolling stock in N scale?

[@RailRide]

Pretty safe bet they're sticking to 3-rail 'O'. N has a larger market share (#2 behind HO), but there are also a lot more companies producing equipment for that scale.

[@casstelles]

I hate to be that "guy', but I did see one thing wrong with the DL&W boxcar as decorated. The DL&W boxcar should have journal bearing trucks versus roller bearing trucks. Even the wheels on the roller bearing trucks shouldn't have ribbed backed wheels even though this is a nice detail. The trucks not being sprung regardless of being roller bearing or journal bearing wouldn't bother me as much as having the correct trucks. This makes it hard to give it a solid 'A' grade. So, would it be an 'A-' or a 'B+.' This would be hard to decide. As far as the ore car's trucks, I've seen them in both journal bearing and roller bearing trucks depending on the time period. So, they can be accurate with the roller bearing trucks. Would I but these cars? With the price point if $35, it's hard to beat the price with all the other details. Besides, the trucks can be overlooked. They are way better than the old MPC era Lionel trucks. Those things look strange on any car that they are placed on.

[@johncrowley3722]

Ooof they have roller bearing trucks w/ triple springs in the boogies. to modern for this car.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

That’s incorrect railroads were widely converting to roller bearing trucks in the 50’s Google lookup

[@EL-rn2jt]

​​@@PghTrainFanatic Trucks are incorrect - 50' cars had that mix, never on 40' unless they were assigned to express passenger service. MTH Premier cars were never accurate either. Artwork doesn't match the actual product. That's a problem with pre-orders.

[@EL-rn2jt]

Changed? - All these types of cars were suppose to contain the older type Bettendorf trucks, not modern roller-bearing. His PS-1's are identical to Lionel's version including the interior load divider and bottom. I would think Lionel will be concerned about this. I always said, there's no reason for OEM scale 40' cars to cost over 40 bucks. We have been getting ripped off for years. Looks like the couplers are better being closer to the body. Nice all around products. I'm sure he will do well with volume buyers! Waiting on a couple Wood Chip Cars soon....I hope? S.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

@@EL-rn2jt not completely true about the trucks. Railroad started converting some equipment to roller bearings in the 50’s. It just wasn’t mandated for a couple decades later. the only thing Lionel should be concerned about is the price tag and it being less then half of theirs for an equally detailed scale car.

[@EL-rn2jt]

Those PS1 cars and schemes only had 2 spring Bettendorfs. His web site shows them as well. 50' cars could have both as Atlas did. Pecos River trucks had stamping on their trucks Both are a nice detail!

[@BIGlittleRailroad]

Woodchip cars coming soon to your favorite train store hobby dealer.

[@ReggieArford]

Umm. The EBT never had an "ore car" like that. Not even close.

[@jariccioli]

I thought this was a good review until I saw the disingenuous comparison between the Menards boxcar and the new RMT one. The Menards version is the old Williams tooling going back decades as Williams’ version of traditional 6464 boxcars. Apples to oranges.

[@PghTrainFanatic]

@@jariccioli comparing the price range. I said that in the video

WILLIAMS BY BACHMANN OSCALE

[@PghTrainFanatic]

These cars are not comparable at all to Williams. These are just as detailed as a Lionel hundred dollar car

Does anyone see the bottom details when it's on the track?
