Fantastic work! I've fantasized about building a model of this monster ever since i saw the film back in the 80's. Glad you're going to put Manny on the roof of the Loco!

The part you were pointing to with your tweezers is called a mechanical lubricator

What paint are you using out of curiosity? Love the progress so far. 😊

Really enjoying this series. Been years since I did any model RR stuff but brings back memories of when I worked in a hobby shop custom painting brass locos. I got to do a lot of customizing to match specific units much as you are doing now.

I am currently working on a mrc 4023 version and updating it to 4014. I need to find a decoder but i got most of the parts. I have a extremely customized 844 that i have done. The version of my 844 is one of a kind.

4005 is in a museum in Wyoming... also fun fact 3985 had white walls and white running boards while in storage at Cheyenne before restoration. She retained her white walls for a short bit after her restoration as a coal burner as well

Do you have a layout, or something to run all your stuff, or you belong to a club?

What going on with the circus train, I starting to miss those trucks, and nice A-line wheels that are hard to find, would like to see you get back to that project..

Looking forward to following this series

You have a great collection started!

I have toyed with the idea of making a shelf layout of a railroad museum like the one at Strasburg Pa and operations would all be moving locomotives in and out of the storage, display areas and shops. it would allow for a wide variety of locomotives, and I'd just used the shuffled card method of deciding what moves where for each running session. I like what you are doing here with the variants and exactly the kind of thing I do with my models.

You've done some amazing work. Very impressive. I particularly like the red throats of the air horns! When you say you fixed up imperfections in the paint - what do you mean by imperfections? And how did you fix them?

The craftsmanship/modeling algorithm brought me here, but nice work on these locomotives. 10:00 is quite alarming. There is no way I'd have a costly museum-grade model and handle it with torn, raggedy sleeves, much less long sleeves of any kind. That's just asking for those horns or other greeblies to be knocked off.

INCREÍBLE TRABAJO

Great video, I have two scale trains turbines. My museum quality model I am afraid to take it out of the box.

I'm thinking about adding some led lights in my b units to show the internals a bit better. I think it would look cool. Great job on these and great tips on what I will do with my GTELs sometime.

You need at least one of the #1-#5. They have a different front section.

Your collection of GTELs is envious. I only have one of them.

Pretty authentic looking.

Kadee doesn't make a lower shelf F coupler. The couplers you have are ok. If you remove the top shelf on the couplers you have, it makes them correct for the turbine. Well, close as correct as you can get with a Kadee. Just nip the top shelf off, file and sand flat. Touch the paint up and you're good to go. It won't damage the couplers doing this. This is what modelers that run Kadees are doing to make the Fstyle coupler The Sergent or now made by Prototypecouplescom are much more accurate in size and appearance if you go that route. They will also couple with a Kadee. You need the magnet wand to release the Sergent style couplers. Nice job on the Turbines!!

A grand collection of my personal favorite combo of power.

Great information. Keep your updates on the turbines coming!

Are you gonna use the passenger cars and get a marker on a flatcar

you will need a car with a marker and are you gonna do the passenger cars or not

Is tamiya tape ok to use on your wires? I have never tried it. I use Kapton tape. Love the Turbines and always will.

Around 2008 I started collecting the Walthers circus stuff,ads,cars, clowns,people, brochures, rides. You name it I was finding it on ebuy and then I couldnt find any more. Its like it dried up. I worked with a guy at the U.P. heritage fleet who was a foreman on Barnum and Baily and he had some storys. Love all the circus stuff. I was always told to buy the car,the harley and all of your toys before you get married and have kids and it is true. I have a horn assbly. off of a 1997 -99 (not sure) G.E. loco. Where I worked in Council Bluffs,Iowa. The first thing we did was to bring in the locos and take off the horns so when we flipped the hoods open on top we didnt break one, well someone did and I got it. I hook it up to a air bubble or my compressor and freak out the neighbors.

Whats better than Train stuff and Metallica playing in the background"Nothing Else Matters"!!

Hi Midwest Model Railroad & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks & Friends Randy

Looking good!

U can afford all those trains but u can’t afford a tri pod or a go pro camera! Doesn’t make sense

In the yard shot of the gp7s when manny first sees it , the 4th unit does have a horn but its closer to the winterrasionhatch

While you have your turbines apart.... You may want to consider upgrading the speakers so they sound better. They sound ok as is but Scale Sound systems makes drop-in speakers for the 8500 hp turbine that really makes them sand out. I use them in my turbines.

I bought an ATLAS MP 36. ATLAS did not even wire the Gyra lights up correctly. They wired both number boards and gyra light same. To fix the issue, had to separate the chase, and a extra plug. Now it works. Rapid had the same issues with BN GP 38.

No quality Control at the factory.

I wonder if they wired the motor wires backwards.😊

Where it's made?

i got a museum quality turbine, it loves to derail on switches and grade crossings, not to mention the tender trucks don't sit flat either.

So what are scale trains plans for how to deal with 100% tariffs on imports from China.
