I'm part of the crew that returned this to operating condition over the past couple summers and this model is really cool to see. It is incredibly accurate to the real thing, and its a blast to drive too.
I've had 2 of these. And sold 1, waited several years before I bought another one. They run great, look really good. You got a serious score on the price
So great you managed to get one, and amazing that it's THAT one..... especially at that price! A really cute addition to the layout and collection. I spied it in a recent video, but very nice to see the K-36 out. What a wonderful machine. 🥰 I hope you're doing well 👍
@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy hello!!!!! Hope your well! I assume the fog has arrived there. In town here today. But mostly thin fog. I think it’s using ozempic or something. I tried running trains last night in the freezing weather. 30°F. Or -1°C. My entire system malfunctioned. Trains running with no control whatsoever. I will be testing today to try to figure out what went wrong. Could it be the cold temperature? Could it be some other malfunction? I have ran the railroad in snow, but not with the DCC. So possibly there’s something about freezing temperatures in DC they just don’t cooperate. Hope to figure that out today.
@ToyManTelevision Oh wow, interesting you had issues. I hope you find out the culprit factor. It's not been foggy here, but we just had a big storm the past weekend. Very rain and very heavy wind: a lot of damage and loss of power across the South West of England and Wales. Thankfully my home didn't lose power,.... or any fence. I haven't run any trains for a while. Just too busy. I'd like to work on videos but,... I have a gig to prepare for this weekend. Maybe next week I'll get something together. 🤞 Gotta keep at it!
It's very beautiful almost reminded me of that bus uses in the Eagles Dare movie I remember movies where they had buses switched to run on tracks after proper conversations.
Always loved the Casey Jones from the first time I saw it at Silverton. A regular contributor to Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette, Al Armitage, provided scale drawings. In 2021 I built a 2 1/2” scale riding model to run on 4 3/4 gauge track.
The BLW details are excellent and before I picked up the Accucraft K36 I run now I first bought the BLW K36 but found out that because the wheel flanges are closer to scale size on BLW products it spent more time derailing than running so I traded it for the Accucraft I have now. Hated giving up that excellent detail though.
@@robertrussell2166 yup. Yes Berlin models are sort of intolerant of garden track. This is another one of those points where we are very fortunate because our track is all built on benchwork both inside and out and so if there’s any irregularities, even the slightest irregularities in the track it’s pretty easy to straighten out.
Thanks for another nice video. I have a separate question for you. I have the Bachmann Connie, with a bad drive gear. I don't want to throw the engine away. Can you direct me to somebody that I could get in touch with, , , , , , to help me
@@robinpatterson8754 we did an entire series on how to rebuild a Connie, including the two that are in the show. There may be somebody out there that can replace the gear, it is fairly easy to do it yourself, but you’ll need the axle in the gear off of Bachman‘s website. As far as I know, they still have those in stock. If you look for that series on rebuilding the Connie here on our channel, one of those episodes is on replacing the gear.
It's tough to be specific not seeing the other side of the engine as well but this is clearly an in-line overhead valve engine, looking long enough to be a 6-cylinder. That's a single barrel carb on side of the engine with a small circular, louvered air filter on top. That's a spiffy silver breather cap on the top of the valve cover. There doesn't appear to be an engine driven fan which there no doubt was on the prototype.
@@ToyManTelevision A quick look on the internet and it appears that Maxwell only produced automotive products until the mid-20s. All the Maxwell engines I saw pics of were flat head 4 cylinder engines. The valve cover on the engine in the bus is a 'modern' stamped metal part suggesting a much later era than any Maxwell engine and I doubt Maxwell built any overhead valve engines. The model has a quite 'modern' engine like would have been found in a US made pickup truck in the 60s or later.
@@BCGsummer1964 well it seems that what he’s done was just simply used an engine from a different goose! It’s the exact same engine that they used in goose six that may not be correct either. So it’s just simply an engine that they have molds for so that’s what they used.

Excellent grab!!!!!
Nice looking model. I’m certain you will enjoy this one
@@bigwoz78 thanks!!! 🚂🚂🚀🚀😀
Nice looking .
@@stevemellin5806 thanks 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚂🚂🚂
Very cool looks great running on the railroad 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@franksmodels29 hi. Thanks!!! 🚂🚂🚂🚂
Very neat model! Love it.
@@FunAtDisney these are just amazing models 🚂🚂🚂
I love seeing those niche custom vehicles and rolling stock that railroads made, this one reminds me of the Galloping Goose rail trucks.
@@JacobHofeldt-fq6ii same idea! We have several of those too.
That is really neat!
@@greatnorthern706 indeed! Thanks 😀😀🚂🚀

What a pretty rail bus. Wonder if they make them in N scale. 🤔
Thanks for sharing this find with us.
GOD BLESS 🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕🚂💕
@@loispadgett6306 hi. Boy would that be (bee) tiny. But who knows ? Bless you too! Merry Christmas 😀🚂🚀
Great video I love the cool rail bus and hopefully you will make update video of it with DCC beautul detail .
@@richardbrobeck2384 hope too
Does the bottom engine cover come off? If so, you might be able to install a decoder in the engine compartment. Just my $.02 worth 🙂
@@Conn653 it may fit. First I need to open it up. The wiring is in there so I need to.
Very Cool, love your videos, would love to see a video of transfering it to dcc
@@nicholasfilippelli4700 that’s the plan. If we can find a proper DCC module

@@BCGsummer1964 I’m wondering if it’s the Maxwell. But I thought that was a four. My brother’s was a four. But ???

Aww, puddie tat!
Veramente eccezionale con dei dettagli molto interessanti peccato che si trovino con molta difficoltà
