Making Passenger Cars for the Train I've Always Wanted

- I've been on the market for some passenger cars to help finish off my dream train. By chance I discovered someone in the area was selling genuine Swedish passenger cars so I ordered them up. I disassembled and painted the cars to get the look I wanted and am pretty happy with how they turned out.

The reason the ROCO cars are longer than the Marklin cars is that Marklin's cars are, for length, scaled at 1:93 while ROCO has for years scaled their passenger cars at a true 1:87
A very impressive disassembly, paint and reassemble project Harrison. The cars look great.......
They do😊👍
Thank you very much!
Nice job on the paint... Can't really tell them apart too much from a distance... As a model car builder myself, I was impressed with your painting skill... They looked nice...
When you unboxed that first brown car, and it leaned, my heart stopped for a second...
Harrison, that is one fantastic looking train, sir!!! Great work!!!
Nice to see a dream come together. Nice paint job.
Well done. You should do more like this. Additional details and what not.
I appreciate you displaying the American flag correctly. When you display it like that the stars should always be on the left when you are looking at it. Thank you..
Some people say I have it backwards. I just want to display patriotism.
I think you are saying the flag is displayed correctly. The stars are on the left from what I see. But yes, I did wonder about both flag configurations, but clearly there are constraints there and good to see them both.
US flag is correct as per Google search.
Great video. Ottawa? My old hometown. I used to be a Lionel Line kid a million years ago. Wonderful to see your trains. Thank you.
Well done on the respray....they look great. 👍
Hey Harrison I live in Knoxville TN USA and could watch your videos all day long. My birthday was on Friday and I got a cool Conrail. Your videos are so entertaining and I would just like to thank you for being the best TH-cam in the model train community. I also really like the American and Canadian flag together!

They turned out real nice, good job.
Excellent job, Harrison. Now for the hard part, lettering the city/station name on each passenger carriage. Looks like they may be a little longer as they have an extra window in each car -- hmm, but they will do as they are truer to the Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield Railway carriages.
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
And here I thought I was the only person who did custom paint on passenger cars with spray paint. Those cars look good, nice work.
Excellent work, SMT! You're so lucky to put the Wakefield excursion train together.
Great job. They look amazing
Nice looking Train That little steam engine doing a great job Pulling those cars👍
Great paintwork and a fine set, well done!
I enjoyed this video. I liked the cars in their original colors but I see why you painted them. Good job blending it all together.
You did an awesome job on those it all looks great together 👍👍
Nice to see your dream train finally taking shape
Im so happy that you got some Swedish passenger cars. In thr thumbnail i saw a blue SJ livery. I just saw you unbox the CLASSIC brown painted cars and oh my is it giving me nostalgia, i have one of them myself and ive ridden in them when i was around 6 at a heritage railway. And seing those run behind the E2 looks so good.
Great paint job. Would love to see them closer up as they are running. Looking forward to seeing the diesel engine helping the steam locomotive with the passenger fleet, enjoy. 🙂
Danm great job happy rail s
Wow great job they look great!
Very nice.
they look really good
great paint job on your coachs
I think was looking at those one, too.
You did a great job painting them!
The Wakefield train was a beautiful and unique operation. It's a pity that it wasn't restored after the storm damage and that someone(s) decided that the scrapers' torch was better than finding a new home. 😥
Nice work mate the repaint went very well spray paint cans are great for repainting they do a good job the train looks fantastic now.
Nice Job On the Passenger Cars.
Beautiful Job SMT!
The hobby store I worked for in the late 90s had a tremendous assortment of Roco, Liliput, and Lima passenger equipment. IIRC, the Swedish coaches were 72' long on average. They had one full-length dome car that retailed for around $200 US dollars which was insane money for an HO coach in 1999!
Great job! Those came out very nice! 👍🏼
for the Märklin cars, you can buy DC wheels, just search for the number of the model with "2 rail wheelset" after that and you can find them. You can allso search under Märklin's Hamo and Trix brands.
I might do that so I can use them.
Oh, before I forget, liked the new paint jobs. Nothing wrong with the ol’ rattle can!
Glad to hear it
Those are some nice cars. Great video SMT!
Pretty cool train bro.
Nice work for using rattlecan paint! Impressive!!
I cant wait to see The full Train running live ! Nice Work!
I noticed one car at 5:30 had lights in it, but I didn't see them on after repainting them. Did you take the lights out of that car?
The diesel locomotive the HCW used was a class T43 if you're interested
Those turned out nice...awesome job
Good project. They came out nice
Just Awesome
Very good video .well done.keep it up.
Four words: SO COOL!
🤔
Nice!
Wow! Awesome. Roco cars ehh well a brand i know that is part of the Fleischmann brand. Great paint job . i looked before before for you but was like findimg a needle in haystack and expense. . I love this though 🇸🇪= Swedish flag
ironically i got mine the other way around, i got my consist for my dream engine before i actually got the engine (picking the engine up in about 5 days) great video as always harrison
Great find of passenger cars, the new paint jobs look really sleek, have you ever gone looking at garage sales for model train items?
Damn I jumped a little when that first car shifted a bit and looked like it was about to take a run on the Gravity Express.
lol
Gravity Express. LOL
Me 2!
Galaxy Express?
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 The Gravity Express always operates during the Fall...
fantastic job buddy well done
Thanks
Cool buddy
So cool
9:40 why those paint scheme remind of the old indonesia paint sheme from the 80's
Question: why didn’t you hook the lights back up?? Didn’t want them??
Would have recommended a model spray paint like Tamiya and maybe not try and paint straight over the model as well as it will kill some fine detail
Cool video! The engins used for those carts were mainly electric and made by ASEA, first the RAPID the the still used Rc line of engins. Though I think the V12 diesels T-41 and T-43 were used on non electrifyed routs.
good effort with the coaches. I can't help but think it'd still look an excellent train even with just 4 coaches. their pretty big those scale length puppies, almost think maybe the traditional marklin or Fleischmann shorties weren't such a bad idea :)
SJ Short for "Statens järnvägar", The states railways .
Literally "State iron-way/road/route."
Love to see some swedish stuff on your layout, im from Sweden👍👍👍
Thanks. I'm a big fan of Swedish equipment
@@SMTMainline Smt do you still have that old märklin track? I saw in one of your older train show video that you had AC locos and i wonder what type the track is, AC or DC?
Great Video keep it up
ROCO, sem dúvida, uma das melhores marcas de trem elétrico do mundo e, com certeza, nos últimos anos, a que mais investe em tecnologia de ponta.
First time commenting those cars are Beauties
Thank you!
@@SMTMainline hay bro np as a kid I used to to break all of my trains as remember and I have a bockman set now if u play the game called rocket league on PS4 maybe we can play some time?
You can put the a shortcouplungs.For realistic distance between the buffers.It is easy because the wagons has a NEM schats..ROCO kurzkuplung.
lmfaooo this girl is huge, great video smt!
For extra realism, flip a coin before each operating session to see if the track was washed out. ;)
Sad to see it go.
If you want high end swedish passenger cars buy some from Hnoll, very good quality and has real suspension on the bogies, thats a first for me
After seeing the engine video and now this one I couldn’t help but to do a little research myself. So to see the real deal check out the “Hull - Chelsea - Wakefield Tourist Train” TH-cam video. Cool to see it and yours.
Hello!
I really enjoy the content you have been putting out. I recently decided to start getting back into the model railroading hobby after being out of it for probably 20 or more years. Back then I had a N scale set with my dad and some things like DCC were never even heard of it seems. Your videos further drive my inspiration to get back into the hobby with my dad. We have decided to go with HO this time as it seems to have more options and details then N scale would.
Anyway sorry for the rant. Keep up the good work and keep having fun!
May the rails continue to be smooth and strong in the journeys ahead :)

Hi smt I know you're talked about the wakefield train quite a bit so I looked it up and the passenger cars were scraped but do you know what happened to the locamotive?
Put a full bridge rectifier in them
I miss the days when I could get here early. Guess those days are gone, eh?
Now all you need is some a/c units for the roofs I think?
Im from sweden so really nice
Could yank the weights from the cars to help out the loco in the meantime.
Looking forward to the diesel assist. 👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
I hope that arrives soon, I ordered it almost a month ago. To be fair, it is coming from Sweden.
I really enjoy watching all of your videos. How is the Hershey factory common
Diesel in the mail......... I was going to suggest you should use the piko
As a European train fan, this was painful to watch. All jokes aside tho, the cars look very impressive. Also, while you say those cars look more modern than the old ones(which if I remember correctly were piko made in east germany), they are still from early 90s at the latest judging from the boxes, and the detail difference is probably more from roco being able to put more detail into cars, than piko could, just because of their economic situations
Nice
More model train videos! 😀
I saw those and almost bought them. Now I'm glad I didn't!!
Show us the Hershey factory next time great video
April 2021, hopefully...
Yo smt I might send my motorized box car to you as it needs fixing, how do I go about that?
Like impressive for spray paint, almost looks like a airbrush!
I just got an Amtrak p40 just like yours
cool
My train set is marklin, Roco and leema .
It could be that the new cars might be OO scale. Which are actually larger in scale then the North American HO scale.
the coaches are European, so definitely HO - modern OO is uniquely English (apart from the barely used 4mm 19mm gauge in the US)
The Swedish loading gauge is higher and wider than the European UIC loading gauge. This is why they're wider and taller than the german cars
And you used 'spray' paint. Great. What kind of masking tape did you use? What train is this where did it run?
Those are some really nice cars! Are you yourself Swedish at all?
The have very good lighting system installed, why don't you use that?
Do u have a roundhouse, turntable or engine shed?
i am going to buy the lionel prr s1 duplex!
What radius is that outside line ?
Would you like to change the couplers for kade couplers?
The earlier rico cars are shortened to accommodate tighter curves found on european layouts. Length scales out to 1/100. Newer cars cars are 1/87 scale and are scale length
Meant roco
@@peterkneissl3358 length is a fairly arbitrary measurement/scale, but the coaches are still 1/87
neat
so now i know that you still get that shiny effect when you spraypaint it. and with some scotch tape. it would be WAY easier! and by the way. i live in durango colorado and there is a narrow guage railroad there. bachmann has a starter set of it but the engine doesnt look so good. they got really nice coaches and i was wondering if you could maybe get some of those?
the railroad is called "durango and silverton"
The shiny effect is based on how much gloss the paint has. Most of the paints I use now are low gloss by high gloss is pretty common in stores.
