This week we have a first look at the new business cars from Broadway limited. Brad Joseph gives us a personal account of one of the Pennsylvania cars being offered. It was an amazing story and a total Suprise during the taping of the show. Joshua Barton and Mike Budde share input that made this a fantastic show.

Brad was the perfect guest for this one. Great fun.

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

Yes He Was!

The "Trivia Hour" for railroaders. Thanks for the memory flogging - at 78 I STILL have fun...

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

It's All Good! C.R.S. Can't Remember Stuff 😁

[@Eduardomd54]

Mr Brad Joseph; He is an authority , his knowledge is amazing. A real treat to listen.

[@KeanesCove]

Hi from the UK! What a great show! New to the channel having been recommended by a buddy who said I should tell Ken about my layout! Keane’s Cove features in the April edition NMRA magazine

[@KirkFisher-ju4di]

The Pennsylvania Railroad Technical & Historical Society Modeling Committee has done a lot of research and worked with Broadway Limited to replicate the PRR Cars as best as possible.

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

What a nice show! I just love those passenger cars from Broadway Limited! I love how Brad Joseph knew about the history of the cars & his late father Oliver D. Joseph! Thank You, Brad! Since i'm retired @ Chrysler/ Stellantis, i have some time to do model railroading! I always look forward to what Mike brings to the "round table" This is "The Best Hobby In The World" Till Next Time! MoPac Jack "Be Safe & May All Your Signals Be Clear" Rock N' Roll Forever..🚂

[@mels1811]

Thank you for another brilliant video

[@hawk5250]

It's good to see Brad Joseph! I used to display my Z scale layout at the Christmas Train Show at his car dealership.

[@bbrunell111]

Great show, crew! I don't know much about passenger service, so this episode was fun!

[@mikeknuckey]

What a great show! So nice to see Brad Joseph again! It was a very educational show about business cars. Cheers from Chile!

[@amyreynolds3619]

In the 1995 correct to a Southern railway porch car and I use to volunteer at NCTM when Jim Wrinn was the president of the museum before being the editor of Trains magazine.

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

That is awesome, Amy! I had the Southern Railway in my hometown in Belleville, Illinois! My great grandpa was a teletype operator for the railway in Belleville, Illinois Mr. Pete Bedwell

[@plunkervillerr1529]

I met Canidate Huckabee at a New Hampshire Antique Auto Show in 2004. A nice a guy.

[@amyreynolds3619]

I built a Southern railway business car from IHC Southern railway passenger car using the Doris business car of the NCTM in Spencer, NC.

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

That Is Awesome!

[@stephenrickjr.7519]

The business cars are on my bucket list, thanks😊😎👌👍!

[@michealnemecek580]

Aroura minutes has the fans that spin

[@2005GLI]

Kadee makes a nem coupler that brings them closer together.

[@WorldOfNothin]

Speaking of those new Bachmann Venture cars, saw in a Facebook group, someone used Kadee #17 couplers. It gives you the close coupling and they said it could still make a 22" curve if you want a normal knuckle coupler without having to go through the effort of body mounting them.

[@randydobson1863]

hello Ken & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Ken & Friends & Randy

[@dirkstrains]

Brekina is making the Rubber Duck Tanker. They are making other ones also. All of which are available through Dirk's Trains for 20% off the retail price. I can also get some from Germany.

[@KandWRailroader]

I love this show!

[@spicee1000]

Brad...I remember that picture with you and the UP President. I'd would love to paint a car to match D's car.

[@itpmoose1]

Listening to Brad Joseph is a treat.

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

Yes, He is full of information of passenger cars! He is from my hometown of Belleville, Illinois

[@RonStanek]

Any leads on any 3-4 or 5 axle trailers for steel coil loads? Brekina, does a good job on 1:87 trucks also. Also need a "hybrid" controller the likes of, a cross between Protothrottle's Prototypical control stand look and RailPro's easie of programing/consisting-load sharing and dependability of running on undependable track.

[@wesleysim1805]

Placed my order for the passenger car

[@davidl.miller8168]

The Union Pacific 4-4-0 at the Golden Spike was the 119 not 109

[@DuCo_Loco]

I have a friend that builds those trucks in RC. I’m in the process building one now and so is another friend. So there’s three of us. You should have him on your show. He has two semi trucks a fire truck a box truck, a forklift, and a high rail. All functional with lights.

[@donbelle7171]

Breaking in is number one in details !

[@spicee1000]

I was listening to this video while doing other things until I heard Brad Joseph's voice. Now paying full attention.

[@spicee1000]

Father Steve gets a shoutout

[@daleshipman7139]

Excellent show Ken!

[@vertisjohnson219]

No one can give me an answer on the trash compactor that was shown last week

[@mikebudde2570]

The trash compactor is from MiniPrints, Vertis!

[@garyweber2867]

Hey ken ask bachman when n scale venture cars are comeing Love the show

[@ohpoleez]

Not a big fan of the trucks. Very toyish looking and not as detailed as the rest of the car. If they stay as is on the final version I'll have to swap them out.

[@jacksonthomas1851]

I really wish you guys would talk about trains and layouts instead of vehicles on this show.

[@jefferypardue7509]

A lot of people in the model. Railroad community. Add vehicles to their layout like Greyhound buses and semi trucks and even automobiles. It's called scenery. The one thing though, ho scale automobiles don't really include minivans or crossovers from the modern era of the '90s or 2000s + much. And they did talk about trains when they talked about the Union Pacific business car and the Siemens venture cars.

[@jacksonthomas1851]

@@jefferypardue7509 I’m not dissing vehicles in layouts but to spend half the time on them gets tiresome.
