Those are gorgeous locomotives Joe, I love the weathering. No worries about the coupler problem I would imagine most of us have had very similar issues so it's all good. Thanks for a fantastic video showing a beautiful and awesome trains.
@@Joestrainworld At least for me it was just a GP-35 that took the dive. It actually didn’t sustain that much damage, all things considered. Superglue to the rescue!!
Great video despite the derailment! The weathering is first rate! I'm afraid the root of the problem is that s curve more so than just the coupler. The swing of the articulated against the long wheel base tender is just not a great combo on a complex curve like that.
@@Joestrainworld the easiest way to test would be to couple the tender only of the lead locomotive to the second locomotive and push it through the area by hand.
Thank you for watching. I agree with you, but not much I can do. My goal is to get 1000 subscribers, I hope I can do it in my lifetime!!! lol. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks John. I still haven’t rerun the Lash Up on the Challengers. I know for a fact the coupler got hung up, but the ‘s’ curve could have triggered it to. Maybe after the holidays I may give it another go….. but this time no crashes. Thank you for watching my videos.
The 3989 was the first run of Challengers by Lionel and delivered as is with the correct chuff sounds. My 3717 being a second release by Lionel required Lionel Service Center repair ti correct the chuff sound . I would suggest contacting Lionel Customer Service. Thank you for watching my TH-cam.
At 2:21 one can see the couplers were misaligned so that they would not be able to couple together. Again at 3:41 we can see that the first tender and second loco were not coupled. As to the crash, the track curve is too tight for an engine of that size. Good luck!
My n scale p70 passenger cars derail on my Kato unitrack double crossover due to a coupler getting caught I feel the pain brother maybe try moving the couplers back and forth before using to reduce stiffness?
I agree, I either installed the coupler incorrectly or had something that prohibited easy movement. I haven’t tried to lash these up again, but plan to soon. Thank you for watching and your thoughts.
I could have at least four times the video minutes on my channel as I have, it I didn't edit out most of my disasters. Even the real railroads have accidents. I hope the damage was minimal.
Steam locomotives did not have radios. It was all hand signals and whistle talk. Krewtok is such a bulshit feature. Unless you are standing inside the cab you will not hear them talk on the radio 📻. That is why all of the early diesels had radio equipped on the side of the cab with a lightning ⚡ bolt. Today's electronics are a double-edged sword, you usually electronics they go bad you keep the locomotive on a shelf and they delaminate in time also going bad very expensive failures.

Thanks for showing the wreck ... life ain't perfect.
No lives were lost during the filming. lol. Yes accidents sure happen. Fortunately nothing was damaged. Thank you for watching my videos.

Roger. Thank you for watching. I agree, the weathered Steam Engines are stunning. Harry Hieke weathered them.
Thanks Joe, I agree Heike has amazing talent for weathering loco's and rolling stock. Have a great weekend.
At least it didn’t fall off the layout onto the floor! That happened to me once with an elevated layout in the living room.
That’s Not good. I was grateful it was a minor thing. I haven’t gotten around to trying it again yet.

@@flyboyu777 My SD40’s and GP’9’s do well lashes up. Steamers need you to be focused!!! Lol. Glad yours did not sustain any real damage.
Hope you can fix the coupler issue. Love the dynamo and blowdown smoke effects.
Beautiful locomotives and impressive layout.....
Thank you Rudolph, it was lots of work but fun. Thank you for watching
Very nice weather ing looks awesome !
The Challenger is very impressive. I like that one allot. Thanks for sharing with us.

You might be 100% correct. I haven’t adjusted the coupler nor the courage to try again. lol

or straighten out the S curve@@SignalLightProductions
Oh my, did everyone survive the crash? 🙏🏻
Dummy couplers can be annoying at times. I've had issues like this too. We just have to be careful I guess!
Thanks for the reply. Not a perfect setup, that’s for sure.
@@Joestrainworld agreed. They need springs or something to keep them in tension.
Awesome layout
This channel is underrated
Thank you for watching. I agree with you, but not much I can do. My goal is to get 1000 subscribers, I hope I can do it in my lifetime!!! lol. Any suggestions are welcome.
When the locomotive derailed it broke my heart man.. 😪😩
You may want to think that "S" curve there! LOL... nice layout keep em runnin"

Did you call NTSB to investigate?
lol. No I did not, I was afraid OSHA would get involved too!!!!! Thank you for watching.
Hey, how did you fix the chuff rate on your 3989??? I have a 3985 that I need to have it done to.

Beautiful lashup!
Thank you.

Thank you for the analysis. I might have to make a decision to change up that ‘S’ curve.
Thats a lot of smoke !!!! Hope you don't have a smoke detector in the room !!!😂
When the smoke units are working as they should, it’s a site to see!!!! Thanks for watching

Very impressive engine power
Thank you. I prefer Steam over Diesel , more to enjoy. Thank you for watching my channel.
That's was a massive problem hope the people was ok
What kind of track and switches do you use?
Ross Switches and track. No issues.
😂😂😂😂😂 only LIONEL. 😂😂😂😂
Cool in the way only nerds like me can understand 👏👍
Us Train nerds need to stick together. lol. Thank you for watching.
I could have at least four times the video minutes on my channel as I have, it I didn't edit out most of my disasters. Even the real railroads have accidents. I hope the damage was minimal.
No damage to the Trains, just my ego. lol. Thanks for watching. I need to check out your channel.
Two Challengers hardly seems necessary for that consist. But I’ll allow it. 😂
I agree with you, but it was more for the novelty of it. I appreciate you watching my video. Thank you.
@@Joestrainworld it definitely looks really cool!

you must be real fun at parties...
Steam locomotives most certainly had radios, lol.
