Good ole Polk County Tennessee! Awesome video, hope to make it back down soon

[@ravenhawk6910]

Thanks RJ!

[@SlaterDozierRailroadMedia]

It was good to meet you in person yesterday!

[@ravenhawk6910]

It was good to meet you too man!

I agree if scale trains ever decides to do O scale im onboard!

[@ravenhawk6910]

They truly make amazing stuff. They're currently offering S, just one scale away. Hopefully one day.

[@gregoryhainsworth2663]

They bought the old S Helper tooling from MTH.

[@YJRail]

Sorry I was coming up later when you were leaving, TVMRi had our open house on the same day. ScaleTrains' rescheduling to that day was just unfortunate

[@ravenhawk6910]

I wish I had known that was happening or I would have swung by. Oh well.

[@trainman5552]

Good video i did share that i bought the scaletrains csx 911 from my train show last year and i like it (still would like to get the 1776 and the 3194). i also emailed them if they'd do the 4568 (but they don't have the tooling for the sd70mac but hopefully one day they will i like to lash up all four of them). and great chase scene with the 4501 it did look like you had a great time with everything thanks for sharing.

[@ravenhawk6910]

Thanks for watching as always!

[@JLCmike4014]

If Scale Trains ever decided to get into the O scale market i really think they’d steal a lot of thunder away from both Lionel and MTH. Their products look awesome! Are you going to join the model railroad club?

[@ravenhawk6910]

Not right way but one day when things cool off a bit yes.

[@gilbertporter4992]

If they do I hope it would be O scale 2-rail as we need more of it

[@ravenhawk6910]

@@gilbertporter4992 perhaps, but 2 Rail could be converted to 3 fairly easily.

[@bassicallydoug]

That’s dark smoke from the 4501. What are they burning?

[@ravenhawk6910]

Hey Doug long time no see! 4501 is a coal burner.

[@bassicallydoug]

@@ravenhawk6910That’s what I thought. I wasn’t sure that is still allowed, with all the EPA laws.

[@ravenhawk6910]

@@bassicallydoug nope! Still allowed. 4501and 630 are both still coal burners. What will happen in the future of course remains undetermined, but they are for now.

[@bassicallydoug]

@@ravenhawk6910I like the smell of coal.
