Somehow my annotations got lost: $74.99 for Rivet Counter, $42.99 for Operator. Far better priced than anything on the market.

[@natestrains1166]

Way better prices. And intermountain is still 100 bucks a pop.

@@NishnaValleyRailVideos nice find. I don't have any hobby stores near me, unfortunately.

[@Automax2323]

Hello, you said you were looking to get some of the UP scheme. Trainlife.com just listed the Multi-Max on their site and they have both the UP Rivet and Operator version. The Rivet retail for $74.99 on there.

@@EverythingTrainsMedia I review lots of stuff from lots of different brands. No vendor ever comments on mine either, so don't feel bad. James has been working hard for over a decade on his videos, channel, and relationships and deserves the recognition he gets.

[@Automax2323]

I purchased 19 of the Rivet Counters and have at least 1 of each road name/scheme they produced. I have 6 of the BNSF ranging from Orange to White. The UP models are very nice too, I have two of those. Cost me a pretty penny for 19 Rivet models, but it’s worth it because of the detail. I cancelled my Atlas models all together last year and pre-ordered all ScaleTrains. Can’t wait for their 2nd run so I can get a few more.

[@albertpetschel65]

I like seeing all of the paint schemes.

[@henrycarney5402]

I do agree that show casing the paint schemes makes it longer but it's nice to see the options and it gives a little bit of a quality control check

[@rcpilot1565]

James! As always, Thanks for a great review. I have lots of Scale Trains in my collection.

[@357Xlongrunner]

Nice review James. Thanks for the time and effort in producing these reviews. I have 15 of the Rivet Counter autoracks as well. My question pertains to what was in the background of the video. I looks like an ESU decoder test stand, bench, table, whatever. Would you please do a review on that piece of equipment and let us know where you got from and the cost. From what was seen in the video, it looks pretty impressive. Look forward to your reply and information. PS: this is about your negative video complainers, as the old adage goes in sports, when a manager or head coach starts listening to the fans, you will be sitting with the fans. You do what YOU want to do, and show us and comment to us on what you think is relevant. They are entitled to their opinion and that's all. If they don't like what you have to say, let them produce their own video's. Sermon concluded.

[@jlwii2000]

I plan on doing a review later this fall on that item. It's not readily released yet.

[@KevinsTrainsGLE]

Thank you for the review. Looking forward to getting some cars of my own. Scale Trains never disappoints.

[@billblack8575]

I like seeing the different schemes. Nice review and thank you

[@25mfd]

i do hope scale trains doesn't sell out like BLMA did... we NEED more producers for better competition which means a better product/price

[@shanestrains7179]

Beautiful models. Scaletrains never disappoints

[@tropicalties3806]

Thanks for the overview James.

[@brucebarnes1696]

Another great review James! I purchased the Intermountain versions with those “delicate” opening doors for the same price as Scale Trains Rivet Counter M.S.R.P., they’re probably mostly gone now, but I’ll see if I can still pick some up! I was waiting on YOUR review, Thanks!!

[@vermontrail-fan5557]

Excellent review James! Those cars are perfect, those couplers were dead on from my eyes. Stay safe and keep it up.👍🏻

[@biggiefitz6275]

ScaleTrains makes some beautiful models! Great review!

[@marcod345]

Great review

[@iflyrattraps]

I think showing the paint schemes is better. People who don't want to see them can scroll ahead...

[@brucebarnes1696]

I wholeheartedly AGREE @iflyrattraps!! James we’re are among SEVERAL “regulars” who enjoy your THOROUGH reviews, so please don’t change your familiar concept of reviews for the preferences of a “few”! Where ELSE would we be able to see a close-up of the available road schemes?!?

[@bertcresta6685]

Good review, bud!

[@randallellison6421]

Very nice cars James! I just got an Operator version and it is awesome! Can't wait to run that thing on the club layout!

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

muchas gracias por subir el video abrazo grande

[@espinozajos]

Good review James! Scale Trains did a killer job on these, only two things Im changing is the couplers and the coupler cut bars ;)

[@maxsmodeltrains6525]

Nice

What annoys me is the tutorial on how to Like and Subscribe and hit that Bell notification.

That's KZbin nowadays

[@iannarita9816]

Pretty models. Thx

[@jeramyclay4541]

I get all my stuff from Yankee Dabba out of New Jersey so I bought all of my stuff from Yankee Dabba and they are good company they make good engines in good tracking and they have the best solution of freight cars and also my best selection of trains

[@Kay_jay_999]

Got a ton of the river counter cars ... & sold my atlas ones... sweet cars!

[@alexander1485]

i find it interesting that most (but not all) auto racks have the advertising RR's reporting mark/number and the auto rack's reporting mark/number (usually TTGX or ETTX) PS- the yellow on top (just like the excess height box cars) denotes the actual excess height compared to a normal car (for tunnels and such)

[@alfredoescalante7418]

show all the paint schemes, those that do not want to see them , can learn to use the fast forward feature

[@tsitracommunications2884]

I am sticking to rivet counters and hang the cost

[@jeramyclay4541]

I'm trying to run wellwood crossings and signals but I don't know how to do it we're trying to get a different controller to run all that stuff for DCC and I don't know what controller to actually do it as soon as you got to have a computer setup for all this stuff and and I'm not buying a computer to actually want all this stuff so I need a better DCC controller but I don't know what DCC controller compatible to easy track

[@garyb9867]

Nice review James! These are long cars, any chance you can do a minimum radius test with a few cars connected?

[@jamiemcneil9462]

Nice review. I wonder if anyone can tell me the height of these cars? I have overhead restrictions on my layout.

[@25mfd]

nice car, nice review... but i wonder on the "real" railroad, with the car pretty much sealed up tight how do the crews look inside to see which way the vehicles are facing

[@lowellpearson8782]

They are more affordable and look nice . thank's

[@marileneribeiro2585]

Good muito bum amigo 👍😎👍👍😎

[@northamericarailfan307]

I like Scale Trains Rivet Counter or Operator Ho scale Greenbrier Gunderson Multimax Autorack. But I got 4 Rivet Counter. 1 Operator. And I will give A Like

[@waynehawkins2157]

WOW!!! Scale Trains.com, Intermountain, Waltets I thinks is Athearn one thing missing is the Vertipac!!

[@goaliegeorge]

Wayne Hawkins exact rail did the Vertipacks a number of years back.

[@Automax2323]

ExactRail did two runs of the Vert A Pacs. They did a run back in I believe 2007. And then they did another run recently back in 2017.

[@wolfgang548]

The one that is missing is the ATSF Safe-Pak Autorack: rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2334456

[@JoeSmith-eu1rh]

Nice Reveiw, I pre Ordered 5 of the rivet counter ones and 5 intermountain ones, Both are really nice, better than the 5 Atlas Autoracks I ordered. I'm considering selling the Atlas ones now lol.

can you please check out my take on these cars, btw your the reason why I even have a review channel!

He only does that with locomotives.

Agreeing with mrk107 here, need to get rid of this "this is how you like and subscribe". Makes us feel like 10 year olds. Very redundant. Been a watcher for a long while, subscriber for awhile now as well, I enjoy your content, but that needs to go. Another good review though!

[@DaaYay]

It's not that at all. It's to hammer in your mind to do something, do it enough times and you will eventually hit subscribe. Not everyone is as sharp as you and I 😉!

[@nkimakowich]

@@DaaYay Lol, right??

[@shawnleon]

Unfortunately the “KZbin machine” has very strong algorithms that determine if this channel’s content is presented to potential subscribers, which of course heavily influences if this work is seen. Gotta okay their game.
