A very nice addition to your collection, Chris. Very nice finish on the black surfaces, as you say. Seems like it's going to be a dependable little hauler.

Hey, Chris T&T. Say, sorry about the comment regarding leaving your son with your wife. I really enjoy your hobby shops hops, especially when you bring your son. Over the weekend, I had a friend bring his son over to my house to see me run my trains in my basement for him. It was his birthday weekend and he loves trains just like us. I told my friend that you should bring your son over some day. Yeah, being a younger age they may tend to wander off and touch everything, but the curiosity and wonder is what’s amazing which reminds me of when I was a kid. However, he had an absolute blast as I had him run some of my trains too. My friend wants to do something similar to what I’m doing with my layout as I think that’s really cool in sharing the hobby with friends.

Great video. I am a youtuber also and can appreciate the crazy amount of time and effort put into these for everyone to enjoy. Sorry about the BBQ dude - our hobby sometimes has too many curmudgeons and you are totally correct to point it out. I love to see your kids with you!!

Nice video. Great information. Watching it run the rails at the end was fun

Hey Chris. I appreciate everything you have done for the hobby and want to encourage you to continue. I am in TOTAL agreement with you on introducing your children to model trains and having them participate in the videos. Keep up the good work. Love the black bonnet. I am a big fan of the concept and continue to build out my BB collection. Thanks for sharing.

Great job on another video, as always, Chris!! Have to agree with you on the black matte finish on this loco; it definitely looks better than shiny black on some others - IMHO. Also, love the Viewer Mail addition to your videos. I almost missed it because it was at the end. But now that I know you're doing this, it's a nice feature to keep viewers all the way to the end!

One day I'll have a black bonnet, one day

I am enjoying seeing these fantasy paint schemes.

Cool 😊

Nice video. That is a sweet locomotive. I don't find that gentleman's comment offensive, more like unnecessary and a bit rude. Going with my parents to department stores, like Wanamaker's, was a great time in my life. Growing up in the sixties, they all had great toy departments, with plenty of trains and incredible Holiday displays. A kid could hang out as their parents went shopping, with no chance of getting lost. The hardware stores still sold and serviced Lionel and other brands back then. Maybe, he could have articulated himself a bit better by saying that he didn't mind kids, but they could be a bit distracting. I don't agree with that, either, but at least it wouldn't be , in a way, so mean-spirited. Either way, your layout is excellent and your videos are always informative and enjoyable.

Love that tender so awesome set

[@ChrisCauler]

Great Video Chris. Those fantasy scheme engines are really killing the hobby!! lol. Awesome idea on viewer questions and comments after each video. Great way to interact with your subscribers.

[@RABSTRAINS]

Cool Engine! I like the size and the paint design!!!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Fun video Chris, and that's one good-lookin' engine! I'll tell you, I'm a bit astounded by how well the fantasy scheme engines are taking off. The hobby may be changing but as long as it stays strong who cares? Oh, that guy who smart-mouthed you over your son? Probably some basement-dweller who gets his kicks angering people. Amazing how many cowards there are hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet, isn't it?

I Would Like That in Steam And Diesel that Would Rock.

[@bryan3771]

Very Nice!!

[@ThaTrainMaster]

Amazing 👍

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Sweet👍👍

[@jsgtrains3176]

Great Video Chris. Also, I liked the Neelys video, especially after seeing all of the premier they had. I called them next day asking if they had the Premier Erie Buy War Bonds Caboose. They did not. I also wanted to ask where you got the Santa Fe caboose. That's in this video, is it lying? L m t h or somebody else I'd like to pick one up

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

The caboose is an older MTH Premier model.

Is That Engine In Ho?

[@davidkoehler136]

like the engine , just get into the fake paint schemes

[@patstrains7185]

Feel really bad for the next generation trying to buy actual engines that were used in real life. But people keep spending their money on it……
