Wow, Don, this is just incredible! Two beautiful trains, with an amazing collection of box cars! What a great video presentation. I loved the "Grand Finale." Thank you for being a part of the Holiday Box Car Challenge 2023! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Bill B.
Hello Bill. We have never met but when my train buddies here in PA started to submit their videos, I thought I would add another to the mix. I am glad you enjoyed the video and I was happy to participate. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you from DK’s O Gauge Trains.
🙂🙂🙂🙂Go big or go home. I still have another 12 in boxes I decided not to pull out. All the others were in plastic totes that are easy to take out and put away. Glad you liked the video.
Now that was a boxcar challenge! I’m pretty sure the best one yet. That was impressive Don. Talk about knocking it out of the park. Frank😊🚂👍💯 Merry Christmas!
Thank you Frank. I tried my best and glad you liked it. Those 86’ long high cubes were the worst to keep running with such a long string. Merry Christmas to you too 🎉🎉
Well Done Don.! You have quite the collection and I'm sure you do have more.! Fantastic Display and I'm sure Bill B will be commenting very soon.! BIG 👍Merry Christmas.! 🎄
Holy Smoke Don, I think you win the box car challenge. You have a very beautiful array of rolling stock (box cars for this video). Thanks for posting and have a very merry Christmas.
Thanks. I agree. It took me around 3 hours to come up with the right combination of power and high cubes. Those long cars with the Lionel kinetic couplers can be a pain. I have a big layout but there are a lot of 096 curves. To negotiate. That train was over 50’ long!
I love these cars but they’re hard to find. I managed to get 6 TTX s at a premium price but unable to get ahold of the blue GTAX cars. I hope they start making them again.
Yes, I agree. Prices today are a little ridiculous, especially for TTX and GATX examples. The only good thing Atlas is issuing new runs of these cars. If you can preorder, they are around $72 each. Not as cheap as the original MTH cars but not $125 or more per car.
Thanks John. I appreciate the comment. I do have a few more I could have added. The 86 footers were a real pain to haul around the layout with all the curves, even with DP. I was lucky to make 1 lap without the train pulling apart.
