AWESOME ENGINE. Love the paint👍🔥🙏❤️💪🇺🇸

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

Beautiful matching set! 👍

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Thank you sir!

[@naxshack]

Beautiful loco Matt! Man that caboose is incredible! Lots of detail! Very cool history lesson also!! 🚂😎

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Thanks! I need to find more locos in this scheme. Can't have too many!

[@naxshack]

I thought I had come across some MTHs in this paint scheme in my searches for project diesels. Again, like you said though, seems pretty rare.

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

@naxshack I think MTH's first run of SD45s were available in this scheme. There was one on that place with a Z, but way more than what I would pay for Proto1. I feel Proto1 locos are worth 50-60% less than original MSRP.

That caboose is awesome .... I've never seen it before

[@Coreyt1976]

Very nice

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Thanks!

I heard they were afraid it would have caused a monopoly .... but they ok'ed the BN merger .... makes no sense to me

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Like I said. Government getting involved. From what I've read read, BN got away with it cause although the NP, GN, CB&Q and SP&S were all separate entities, they already we one company. Talk about a monopoly.......

Such a cool engine Matt. Think you can do a review of your Weaver Santa Fe Alco C628?

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

Sure

[@huntercoleman460]

@@UncleSalty-nz5uk thanks for the history Matt. Don’t see much kodakchrome in O scale. Must not be that popular right?

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

@huntercoleman460 Nope. Much more popular in HO scale

@@UncleSalty-nz5uk isn’t BNSF a monopoly along with Union Pacific?

[@UncleSalty-nz5uk]

@huntercoleman460 Your biggest monopoly now is CPKCS. Only class one railroad in 3 countries. Ironically the ICC was formed to prevent railroad monopolies. Both UP and BNSF share many similar routes, so they kinda just work together and offer shippers a choice in who they want to use.

Made a video of my MTH Premier Santa Fe reefer Matt. One of my first videos.

@@huntercoleman460 I did. The ICC was a joke from their inception. Pointless government organization 🙄
