York is and always will be a special show. From meeting to talking to people it is one of a kind. Can't wait to be there in April. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@NixCrossing]

I had the same look on my face when I brought my stash back home 😄🚂💨

[@RBPTrains]

Hahahaha

[@tomrogers5516]

One thing you're not is at a loss for words....Words of excitement about the hobby! Your great interest in model trains and your desire to share your enthusiasm is always appreciated, Chris! The Empire Express is icing on the cake from your York Train weekend!

[@victordandrea8697]

There is No such a thing as too many trains 🚂 🚊 🚞!

[@frankjankovich3512]

Until you die and your estate sells them for a few bucks or dumps them, I seen donations boxes filled with toy trains…

[@transitfan954]

@@frankjankovich3512 Or your survivors sell them on eBay. I'm pretty sure I've gotten more than a few that way, some good deals, when the survivor knows little to nothing about model railroading and sets a price well below what they are worth (of course if it's a bid situation, the collectors know what it's worth and bid it up fairly quickly, but the straight sales, I usually snap them up before someone else does)

[@elleryparsons5766]

I Agree Yeah what he said. Better than Goin to a Bar.

[@tbus62]

love seeing the lionel girls set getting repped alot lately. crazy to see what those kits are going for

[@GfwTrains]

HEY! I missed this shout out until now. Thanks for the shout out. It was so fun to hang out at York and meet in person. I agree one of my favorite parts was just hanging out and talking trains. You got such a great haul there too I cant wait until we get a chance too hook up at another meet soon. Keep up the enthusiasm on trains Bring more MPC goodness. We will see you around the roundhouse.

[@ChrisHiblerPinball]

I knew I should have gone to York. Dag-Nabbit! Fantastic acquisitions Chris.

[@RBPTrains]

Next time you need to go! Would be great to meet ya!

[@zachwheeler9846]

Wow, that's an amazing hall, I love that Pennsy E8s, and the Empire State Express. That General steam engine is nice too, my Grandpa has an original General from the post war era. Great video.

[@MESA-East-Model-RR]

I don't think you are allowed to have that much fun. Thanks for sharing all of your York goodies.

[@dito8620]

The berkshires are just magnificent locomotives i got no other words..just love those things! Great haul👍

[@RBPTrains]

Berkshires are truly magnificent! I agree!

[@randyoehling303]

York meet is really great. Can't wait for spring show

[@ZekPatterson]

The streamlined NYC Hudsons are my favorite locomotive too! 20th Century or Emprie State, if I ever actually start a layout I will 100% need one.

[@RBPTrains]

They are amazing locomotives!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Man Chris, that's one great collection of plunder! And all gems too! Well done!

[@trainman5603]

Thanks for all that Chris! My.favorite era of railroading was that of streamlined steam passenger. You have two of them, the Santa Fe Blue Goose (that I do not have), and the Lionel Empire State Express set (that I am fortunate to have) and MTH Empire State Express (that I also have). Unfortunately all of the development of streamlined steam was suddenly interrupted by the outbreak of World War II and the development of streamlined steam was sacrificed to the War effort of the early to mid nineteen forties. When the War ended advances in rail streamlining was, except for the N & W, all diesel. Again thanks for sharing. The hobby needs young enthusiastic guys (and gals) like you. Keep up the great work you are doing!

[@dagryffynhobby]

That is one impressive haul! I love the Pennsy E8s. I love the variety of engines, lots of fun additions.

[@kevinwalsh7155]

Love that Hudson looks so commanding. In fact I like everything you presented. Great forethought having the trains hidden and unboxed.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

It’s awesome to see all the gems you found at York! 🚂😃

[@RBPTrains]

Not sure if I will ever be allowed to go to another train show again after that, haha! Thanks for watching!

[@Geo3Rail]

GREAT STUFF!!! Love your energy and excitement for trains!

[@ronaldjoyce7374]

What a bunch of great finds. Your blessed to have gotten them. Ron

[@bobconrad5632]

You can never have too much trains! Nice Haul. My favorite engine is the GTW Streamline U4b

[@davidliebowitz820]

Blue Goose hands down my favorite. The color scheme is just plain cool. I have the Williams 4-8-4 J-class with the matching passenger cars and it just runs like a top. Great buys Chris! Enjoy every single one🥰🚂🚃🚅

[@seanstraindepot]

That Blue Goose is soooooo nice! Awesome video.

[@michaelrushman4659]

Wow, great video Chris, you really got some nice pieces, two streamline locos,E8's the Katy and a General set, just awesome, thanks for sharing. The Army shark and cars are also really nice

[@mfog5543]

Awesome... love your enthusiasm!! Can't wait to go And visit the fairgrounds myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@adiddle7267]

That is so cool that you met the people from Just Trains as that is who I have been dealing with for years.

[@zeeeman8744]

Great video loved the trains you picked up, nice layout too ! Thanks

[@ralphmiller2265]

When I attended the TCA York train show in the 1970's and'80's, we sought prewar and post war models. What fun we had searching for that one item, not sure that (even though the show was even then huge) the item would actually be there. The 1990's was more of the same. We had plenty of MPC as my father by then had a Hobby shop called Jack's Trains and Hobbies in east Tennessee. Again, thank you so much for recalling my memories and for creating your own memories. Family and friends, that is what this hobby is all about, the trains are the vehicle.

[@RBPTrains]

Agree 100%! Trains with my family is the most special part for me and I have met great friends in the hobby

[@im2yys4u81]

What part of East Tennessee? I'm over here in Brownsville on the West end.

[@im2yys4u81]

@@ralphmiller2265 No worries. I know how it goes. I've got friends over there in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

[@ajmayowskijr]

You made out okay at York Chris. I love everything you picked up. I had a great time at the show and I know you did too. Thanks for sharing your finds.

[@RBPTrains]

Glad you enjoyed the show as well Al! Was a great time and was grateful that they were able to do it.

[@tjimmy71]

I love your enthusiasm for the hobby, Chris! Trains do that to me too. Lol!

[@RBPTrains]

I couldn’t contain myself on this one with so many new engines. Never seen so much train stuff in one place as I did in York, haha!

[@tjimmy71]

I’ve never been to the show and I’m only about two hours away. Can you believe it? Five years ago we downsized and I’m delegated to a holiday train layout. It’s up for about four months and it looks nice. We get a lot out of a small space but I’d love to go large! Lol! At any rate, I really enjoy your channel and even show my wife your videos.

[@thebigserg]

Awesomeness, jelly and happy for you, you are a blessed child lol!!!!!! Your reactions are all child like 👍🏾 and so funny….keep up the good work and ty for sharing those moments!!!!

[@RBPTrains]

Thank you Big Serg! The trains give me the chance to show that I am just a big kid, haha! Take care!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Wow all I can say is he shoots he scores that's a great-looking Hall that you got there I'm sure you had a wonderful time York is definitely on my bucket 👍👍

[@coverdalemineoscalemodelrr7074]

Awesome finds I’ve been looking at those General sets just have not pulled the trigger yet love to see yours run soon

[@SNER333]

We still use my grandfather's The General set every Christmas. Unfortunately, the horses and fences for the flat car got lost long before I was born, so it's nice seeing it as originally intended! My favorite engine is the GWR 14xx tank engine. Favorite American engine would be the streamlined K4 (with the complete skirt - make it look like one big torpedo shooting down the track). Hopefully next year I'll be able to make it out to York too! Sounds like lots of fun!

[@RBPTrains]

Really cool that you still have your grandfather’s set! The GWR tank is a great choice as is the K4! I may or may not have a PRR Torpedo video coming soon… Thanks for watching!

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

When you were talking to your new MPC era F3s. You reminded me of Mr. Rogers talking to Trolly! LOL! Thanks. Fun video!

[@RBPTrains]

Hahaha, being compared to Mr Rogers may be the best compliment I have ever received!

[@jameslanders4819]

Another great video Chris, thanks for sharing.

[@petergulotta8183]

What a fantastic haul Chris. I have the MPC General set that I purchased back in the 70’s. Great set. My favorite engine is my Lionchief plus 2.0 GG-1.

[@RBPTrains]

Love that MPC stuff! The Lionchief GG-1 was a home run for Lionel. I need to find one…

[@petergulotta8183]

I purchased mine from Nicholas Smith trains.

[@Toaster844]

You really hit the jackpot on trains XD nice video and nice haul!

[@davidfortney2970]

Great haul from york. You made some great buys. As much as I love legacy and Mth the SP F3's from the mpc era are one of my favs.

[@codystrainsnjazz]

Excellent video as always! Thank you for your time chatting in the Silver hall with my dad, uncle and I. It was cool meeting you again. And thank you for mentioning the dealers where you got the trains from. By the way, my favorite engines are any berkshire. I'm trying to collect all the postwar versions but I love any berk.

[@RBPTrains]

Great meeting with you all as well! Glad we got to catch up

[@mslickstrains]

Awesome finds Chris. Looks like you did well

[@henryszubielski8601]

Very nice haul! All, great pieces! Stockyard Express had one of the MTH Reading T-1's I was looking for and the MTH NS SD60E "Honoring Our Veterans" Unit. I left happy! P.S. the Reading T-1 has become one of my favorite steam engines.

[@RBPTrains]

I saw those engines there and glad to hear you picked them up, great engines! The T1 is an engine that I have yet to add to my collection. One day!

[@yeoldeseawitch]

@@RBPTrains i cant wait for T1 2102 to steam again next year. maybe you should film it when it gets back on the rails!

[@keithalan2072]

I love the Blue goose. And I also in an in love with the empire State like is he said. What beautiful trains

[@___axg96___63]

It was awesome seeing you in person! Keep going to York! It may seem hard to believe, but this year wasn't even as packed as usual (because of Covid obviously). It's a semi-annual event that I always look forward to! My favorite engine? OOOOOF that's tough. It's a tie between the N&W 611, the NKP 765, and the NYC J1 Hudson.

[@RBPTrains]

Great meeting you as well! And excellent picks for your favorite engines :)

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Oh wow, you got some nice stuff there. Weaver is still a big name in 2 rail too, always in demand. I have a lot of them in both steam ( brass) and diesel ( plastic). They made a huge range of rolling stock too.. passenger and freight in 2 and 3 rail. One of my friends has been looking for a fuselage like that one you got from Printed In Scale... I will tell him about them as a source.

[@americansaxon2101]

The empire Express used to run to Cleveland a lot almost 100 years ago. I wish I could have seen it but yeah that's a HomeTown favorite of mine.

[@ogaugesantafeandbnsf1157]

Wow, Some nice finds right there. Man I really like that Pennsylvania E8 ABA. Awesome!!!!! York has a great show. Enjoy the new finds my friend!!!

[@RBPTrains]

I was surprised that you picked the E8 over the Santa Fe Blue Goose, haha! Hope all is well my friend and thank you as always!

[@ogaugesantafeandbnsf1157]

That was a nice engine too ;-) I have a lot of E and F engines. Doing good thank you I picked up some nice rolling stock today.

[@XCP_trains]

Pretty awesome finds from York to add to your fleet. I personally enjoy you purchased an item from Just Trains, it’s my hobby store of choice. I am within 15 mins from the store. Also, personally I have connection with the engine you purchased.

[@railfangarrett286]

Awesome video Chris love to see more

[@MrClay1983]

Hey man, just wanted to say that I've been watching your channel for a few months now and I genuinely really enjoy your videos! Your layout is super well done, the scenery looks great and the track placement is super well done, I also really like how the wood on the edge of the table is smoothly cut for the track to run along-side it. This was a super great haul, you got some insanely cool stuff and made some really great choices getting them! The Sharknose military paint scheme really fits the name of the engine type haha, I saw a set of those at my local hobby shop a few weeks back and thought they were awesome, it's cool to seem them in action! The Katy engine is super neat as well as I'm so used to seeing you with the shirt for it on and the tank car looks great sporting the paint scheme too. The Empire State Express hudson looks and sounds fantastic, I really love the whistle Lionel gave it and it just has such an iconic design, even though I do HO scale I would absolutely love to get a hold of one at some point. (with sound would be a huge plus) All the other stuff you got is super cool too, love the Blue Goose and the E8's, that plane car is crazy big but super unique and cool, and the older stuff has a really nice charm. Overall this was a really fun video to watch and I figured I'd leave a comment as I haven't left one on one of your videos yet and you're honestly starting to become one of my favorite model train KZbinrs; in general I've been really inspired by watching videos from the community, I'm thinking of starting my own train-related channel around Christmas as I have a smaller layout and collection that I'm trying to expand so thanks for being a part of that inspiration to do so! Keep up the fantastic work man and thanks for sharing! :)

[@RBPTrains]

Thank you so much! You should definitely share your layout here on KZbin! Would be great to see it. Thanks again for all of your support! This channel has been a fun hobby along with the trains :)

[@johncrowley3722]

LOL MPC goodness. I remember when those trains were released... Made me happy I was still in HO... :)

[@gs3504]

Went to York once about five years ago, it's an overwhelming experience. Looks like you had an amazing time! Not to sure about your credit card though!! :)

[@paulconteyoutubesucks2931]

Excellent show brother beautiful trains

[@charlieharper886]

You should see if you can find a Buster Keaton figure to ride around on that General set. Lol. If you've never seen that movie I highly recommend it. It's hilarious and has some great stunt sequences with the trains. A must for train nerds. One of my favorites! Lol

[@RBPTrains]

I am going to have to check it out, haha!

[@Da1X_Builds]

The Empire State Express is in my Top 5 favorite streamlined steam locomotives. I hope to one day design one out of LEGO bricks and have it running on my layout. Regardless, this was an amazing video! Can’t wait for more!

[@ryankrenik5536]

So cool, thanks for showing

[@santinotrains]

[@ethanarmitage5611]

Cool train layout video.

[@TomzTrainzandAccessories]

Hey Chris, great haul!! I have to say, the Lionel Sharkmouth really stood out to me. These sharkmouths are respectfully modeled after the AVG’s (American Volunteer Group) aka as the Flying Tigers that fought over in China, to help protect China and the Burma Road out of India from the Japanese at the onset of World War II in December 1941. These pilots had painted their Curtis P-40 Warhawks this paint scheme on the front of their planes, and the Chinese people said these Americans fight like tigers, Flying Tigers!! The AVG’s were disbanded on July 4, 1942, and the pilots were put into the USAAF (Untied States Army Air Force). However, the planes kept their sharkmouth paint scheme, and the pilots were still called the Flying Tigers. Hence the Army Green, and the same exact sharkmouth paint scheme on the front of the new Lionel locomotives. The AVG’s and the Curtis P-40’s are so remembered and respected.by this sharkmouth design!!

[@RBPTrains]

Wow! Thank you for the info on the AVG’s. This makes me appreciate the set even more! Have a great weekend!

[@TomzTrainzandAccessories]

@@RBPTrains You too!! Enjoy that set. It’s something I’m interested in purchasing myself because of what that look actually means, and the history behind sharkmouth design. It’s a symbol of strength that protected our freedoms.

[@aceturner9733]

Excellent!!😊👍👌

[@BLDR_2023.]

[@RBPTrains]

Great choices! Thanks for sharing!

I also got the New York State Express set and is a beauty

[@onlyeminems490]

Favorite steam locomotive - Souther Pacific GS4 by far. When I was about 10, my dad got me an N Scale American Freedom Train GS4 and its just my absolute favorite. My current O gauge layout would struggle to fit one so I'm quite disappointed. I have O42 curves on a small 9x10 loop, with a small siding that has O36 curves, on the interior of the loop. Its all I could fit unfortunately...

[@robkiger3434]

3:57 I got to see that engine three time going through my town that engine was paired up with a BNSF one day, then a CSX I think, and another day it was with UP engine one day. They were pulling the longest train that I ever seen going through my town. I live in crawfordsville Indiana and we have CSX that runs through my town and every now and then NS.
