This is probably one of the most realistic fictional railroads I’ve ever seen. Great job on all aspects of this world, worldbuilding, locomotives, locations, etc. this is absolutely Amazing.

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I cannot wait to share with you all the fantastic models I'm working on at the moment as well. so stay tuned.

@@InterurbanEra you’re welcome! As a huge fan of west coast railroading, this project really scratches my never ending itch for West coast railroading of any sort, California, Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, etc. I have been on a massive ATSF, SP, and UP kick as of late which led to me purchasing an M.T.H. G SCALE (ONE GAUGE) SP GS-2 4-8-4 #4413. My main model railroad gauge I do is G scale, I just love my model trains bigger and better!

@InterurbanEra 5 ай бұрын

@@aaronprewitt344 That sounds spectacular! I had no idea that a No.1 gauge GS-2 existed. That has to be the ultimate toy. Do you have a nice garden railroad to run it?

@aaronprewitt344 5 ай бұрын

@@InterurbanEra Thanks! Yes, they do exist, and MTH did one in SP Black #4413, BNSF Excursion Black #4449, WP Black #486, SP Daylight #4449, and AFT #4449. It is the ultimate toy, and I’ll love it till the day I die! No, I don’t have a garden railroad, but I do have a small indoor loop layout. The engine cannot run under track power as for whatever reason it’s missing electrical pickups. I can however run the engine on rollers using the tender’s pickups and wiring the engine up to the tender. I’ll have to look into getting an MTH TIU (Train interface unit) and a place to put the receiver (probably in a boxcar behind the tender) if I actually want to run it. It’s an amazing gift from one of my closest friends at my train club, Del Oro Pacific Modular Railroad. Bless his soul, he’s an amazing, kind, wise, wonderful, and humble person. I have a Facebook account if you want to see #4413 and many other train related posts. My account is know as Aaron Prewitt (my irl name)

Hey interurban era! I’m in Sacramento right now, and have already visited the California State railroad museum. Anyway, my G scale SP GS-2 is such an amazing toy! I wouldn’t trade it for the world, it’s the best G scale model I have by far. I don’t have a garden railroad to run it, but I can run it on rollers only, as the locomotive for whatever reason has no electrical pickups. I can still run it with sounds and smoke on rollers, and even that alone is a show in itself!

6:53 I think you should do it in the 1955 scheme shown earlier in the video. Since it would be one of the first, I think it'd be cool to represent the earlier days of diesel on the Alta

That FP-45 will look killer in the '68 scheme! My favorite so far has to be the ALCo PA, the detail is really well done, and the magenta and orange really stand out. Thanks! Can't wait for more.

@InterurbanEra 5 ай бұрын

I'm very excited to paint up the first F45, since it's the most iconic locomotive of the ALTA concept in the Mexico68 scheme. The PA has been a joy to put together as well.

Little update on my s1, as it turns out the poor drive gears are cracked and annoyingly they are out of stock everywhere I can think of. As I don't have access to 3d printers or other ways of making them, I intend to swap around the wheels so the geared wheels that aren't cracked have power and the cracked ones are idlers till I can find new parts. Great vid!🎉

This is a very well-done fictional railway company and you should be proud of your achievement; it almost makes me want to completely change scale and prototype to make my own! Looking forward to the steam and rollingstock videos, and especially more on the ALCO RSC-2s: as a New South Welshman I've seen our preserved 4001 in royal blue a couple times, and that's a similar RSC-3 (I think).

the C624 in that scheme and weathered up looks like perfection. I think some former SP alcos in Alta paint, would look great too, with all those cool lighting packages.

Wow, what a great roster. I have one of those Walthers NW2s and it runs beautifully, even with its cheapo factory sound decoder. The drive is great, being basically a Proto 2000 switcher drive, and my compliments go out to Walthers for putting this drive in its switchers. Looking forward to the next installment, and I can't wait to see where that Budd RDC-6 comes out!

@InterurbanEra 5 ай бұрын

Strongly agree about the proto switchers. They managed to improve them quite a bit too with the cast frame/walkways on the new models as well. What a great improvement. The Loksound sounds great, and probably even moreso after I put a scale sound systems speaker in it.

If you're interested in adding another PB steam generator to the roster, I have one I'm looking to part with that's painted PRR and has the original box. Also for the Kato RSC-2s do you plan to leave them with the air cooled turbocharger stack position or will you change them to the water cooker turbocharger position? Stacks that were mounted parallel to the carbody were air cooled while ones mounted perpendicular were water cooled and it seems pretty much every railroad with the air cooled had them rebuilt to water cooled not long after delivery

Hi. I also model NdeM I grew up in Mexico and lived near the train station in my town. I wanted to ask you why you model NdeM.

@InterurbanEra 4 ай бұрын

I model the NdeM because it's beautiful, fascinating, and always full of surprises. Gorgeous stations, fantastic diesels and striking looking steam engines. Plus, being able to model steam alongside second generation diesels is incredibly fun. The varied scenery of Mexico is especially fun, everything from the Sonora desert to the rainforests of the Yucatan.

@sophiamhartsfield 5 ай бұрын

Love the 1955 scheme! Quick question, do you get your rolling stock ordered from a manufacturer in batches so you have a bunch of different numbers of the same spec or do you do them yourself?

@InterurbanEra 5 ай бұрын

All of the finished ALTA units are custom painted by hand by me. I designed the decals and sent them off to a decal printer to be made, and then I used an airbrush and masking tape to paint up each unit. That said, I'd love to have a batch of ALTA units made from a model railroad manufacturer sometime soon.

@@InterurbanEra I meant the boxcars (I assume they're made the same way) and stuff but that would be cool too!
