There is a cab forward at the California Railroad museum. The railroad had these engines deliver in Texas and New Mexico so they could avoid the sales tax.
That big boy whistle got me I love that 4-12-2. The blue goose is good too but what sold me on a ferret train was Big boys whistle. And the ghostly sounding one. I don't care what people say about fantasy train's I love them.
Hi Zach, great video. I just received my new Lionel blue goose and took it out of the box, as I unwrapped the plastic off the engine, something fell off onto the floor. As I looked down, it was the rear axle on the trailing truck. Then I saw that the clip that holds the axle in place was broke. This didn't happen during shipping because there was no damage to the box. It most likely happened during assembly. Now I have the blue goose blues. Can't even run my new engine until the rear axle is repaired!
On the U.P. 9000 4-12 -2, the first whistle would actually be the most prototypical as they were equipped with a higher pitched Star Brass whistle. As you probably know, only the Challengers, Big Boys, and the 800 4-8-4s were equipped with the big Hancock three chime long bell whistles on Union Pacific.
The blue goose is a beauty. That red NYC is quite a looker. I’d take them all! Also as an admitted train addict to another. I know and I can relate about the money. It makes me happy and I have something to look forward to. I can start new projects on the layout or finish what I started. I enjoy watching other people’s layouts and trains. The grandkids loves it. My wife is very supportive. I have hope getting into a bigger place so I can at least 40 ft. Keeps me sane other than work work work all the time. Keep up the Videos Zack!
Hey Zach. Your new engines are not just beautiful, but extraordinary!! They’re absolutely stunning. I have to say, the excitement in your voice says it all. As you’re talking, I can tell you’re smiling like a little kid at Christmas from ear to ear, and that is great. You’re really enjoying your love of trains, and that’s what this hobby is all about. Great stuff Zach!! Keep the videos coming my friend. Tom
CountryBunker, You are one of my saved TH-camrs that I enjoy watching. Like you, I have purchased some Lionel engines, but my collection is mostly MTH. Great video, as always.
The Blue Goose Hudson was a promotional move by the Santa Fe to sell passenger ridership. I think it pulled Pullman Green heavyweights on a Chicago to Los Angeles express train called "The Grand Canyon" (please correct me if I'm wrong). A few years ago, when MTH produced the Blue Goose Hudson, they offered it with a set of matching Blue livery streamlined cars. Your fantasy blue Northern would look fantastic pulling that consist if you could find a set somewhere.
I believe that taller stack from the Santa Fe (IRL) would actually have the ability to move up and down. I remember reading somewhere SF did that because they had some low overhanging stations/tunnels. Once the train got through the obstacle, the crew could make the stack taller again in order to channel the smoke better over the locomotive. Hope all is well Zach. Cheers from Jacksonville Beach.
I’ve said this before, but if there’s a engine with a fancy paint scheme that makes sense and if it complements the actual engine very well-then I’ll buy it. Ive always had a soft spot for the blue goose color scheme. Hope too have one One Day. Great review and running session. Two giant behemoths in one spectacular layout and collection 🚂

Love the excitement and the appreciation you have for mechanical things.Those are beautiful steam Locomotives. But I do love the smaller Steam engines Southern railroads that ran on wood rather than cool with a big fat smoke stack together all the Ci. Believe that top speed is around 40 in those days. Anyway, always to be good in the bunker. God speed keep Humping
Hey man no problem! Was lucky it was still even there! Was surprised a big crazy steam engine like that was still around from the sale. It was fun to mess with a little before I packed it up to send out! It is a big old steam engine. I like that big boy whistle option more then any of the others!
I was surprised and pleased to see you mention the hobby shop in Port Orange. We always stop there after we go to the Deland show at the Fairgrounds. Tony has a nice store and is very knowlegible about MTH trains. He helped me sort out some problems with two of my older locos. Thanks for the video!
Great pick-ups, Zac! Of the three locomotives you picked up this past month I will say the cab forward is my favorite. That UP 4-12-2 is pretty amazing though. Don't you just love those livestock cars? I know I do mine! Bill B.
Congrats on the new locomotives Zach! Out of the two, I like the 4-12-2 the best. I'm a huge fan of the greyhound paint scheme and the vanderbuilt tender. - Ryan
The blue goose scheme really is sharp, loved seeing it in person even if it was “some assembly required” out of the box 😂 Keep on promoting the addiction 👍
Hi Zach, What a haul you made, buddy!? The blue Goose Loco is awesome for fantasy pain shame. No hot dog loco for me either. Would love to see a review / running of cab forward. May I ask if you hit your local lotto? Lol, I'm just kidding. Enjoy them all in good health! Joe Gozzo
Those are great engines, I've become a big fan of the fantasy paint schemes Lionel has been doing. Seems like Lionel did more of the warehouse sale in person at their retail stores vs online which sucks for people like me who live really far from those two locations.
The Gaskets are wrong, order the ones off of the 3700 northerns because, I have an issue with my 5011. I went to McMaster-Carr First and came to the conclusion that the 3700s are the correct gaskets
@@CountryBunkersTrains No problem. You'll need to Ask Ryan and/or Dave for the gasket separate because they don't sell them unless you buy the stacks for the 3700s and extract it off. I have 2 3700s so with 6 stacks, I took the gasket off of one of the stacks I don't use and I will have to do the same for my 2926 when it shows up.
Zack, do you think Lionel has turned a corner on their quality control? I hope so. I too suffer from your affliction. Perhaps we should start a 12 step program at Roundhouse South. I will be your sponsor.
Very impressive engines to add to your collection, Zach. The fantasy Blue Goose is really stunning and the Union Pacific Greyhound is just magnificent! Very good smokers, too. For the Blue Goose, I prefer whistle 3. It's got an old fashioned sound that I find familiar. For the Greyhound, I prefer whistle 4, although out respect for its mighty presence, I guess the the Big Boy sound has its place. Thanks for sharing this great news!
Hi Zach! Really nice Video, really love the 4-12-2! You mentioned it could not handle O54. Have you tried? I ask because I have O54 MTH too. Thanks and best wishes, Oliver
Thank you! Yea, the 4-12-2 is out on anything less than O72. It’s just too long. Did discover that the blue goose is handling my O54 curves though. It’s pretty tight and not the happiest doing it, but possible.
Really neat engines and great video. I’m looking for a sound boxcar and am having trouble finding one. If you or someone has one I can borrow to make some videos let me know. ThomasJunction
Excellent video. The boom Crane car love the action. Very accurate portrayal. Hoisting operation. Where are you from company company? The company your terminology is really good. Little hook is called a headache ball.Big Hook is called a load block. Ram load Block, you have 2 hooks.Looks like Ram. Hence Ram block. Some of the cable that they use in the industry Wire rope or cable. Some of The Wire rope in the industry is non spinning. Reviewing the load block to all the shifts on the Crane as a procedure usually performed by iron workers. But railroad d**** can do it too if they have the training. As a long shortman, a.k.a. Iron worker, not a gear in the end of Detroit. I've been around the industry for 30 over 30 favorite. Railroad is the Del Rey connecting railroad on Zug island and it used to be very profitable, but United States still shut down the steel operation and now only maintains a Coker. On the island. I missed that island but The Guardian hall bridge is being erecand that's keeping our iron workers bas well. As the railroad industry that services at Ford motor company recently rebuild Detroit. Railroad station and it is massive massive those those 2 projects are huge, so keep.
Good morning to you, Mr. country Bunkin Jeff from Melbourne Australia question for you. When are you gonna join your two layouts together with an overhead make one big layout I reckon it look fantastic. Also that new blue goose you bought I think the third whistle is the best I’m just watching that TH-cam at the moment I am not an Ogauge person I’m a G scale person, moment, Jeff Melbourne Australia PS I’m a G scale it is a beautiful day here Melbourne and I’m going outside to work on my Railway for the rest of the day yours Jeff
Hey Jeff! Thank you for watching! No plans to connect the 2 tables together. Like to keep easy access to the sliding door heading to the back yard. Maybe that will change in the future? I’d love to one day have an outdoor G scale setup! That must be a ton of fun! Hope you were able to enjoy the day outside working on your railroad!
Appreciate the love for the channel immensely!! Thank you! All good! I know they arnt for everyone. That’s what makes it fun though, IMO. If we all had the same engines, it would be boring.
The train hobby in all its permutations is a big tent with plenty of room for everybody's tastes, from serious Proto 48 rivet counters to the fantasy paint scheme guys. I love it all. Do what makes you happy, that's my advice.
A lady never share all her secrets!! 😂🤣 it’s an old vehicle exhaust news segment from my teenage years. Look up “the whistles go woo” here o YT. It’s funny as hell! 😂🤣

You are really spending some serious cash. Glad you are enjoying the train hobby. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!! Luckily the cab forward and 4-12-2 were picked up from the “warehouse” sale for some awesome deals! Wouldn’t have grabbed em otherwise.

And my wife beats me for buying two postwar turbines! Those are AWESOME Zach, steam engines really steal the thunder.
Wow Zack you got 2 real beauties there you can’t beat those Lionel whistles
Extraordinary excellent steam locomotives Extraordinary train collection and layout 👍🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Will the train gods were smiling on you that day Zach you picked up some great looking engines for your I'm envious 👍👍
CountryBunker,
You are one of my saved TH-camrs that I enjoy watching. Like you, I have purchased some Lionel engines, but my collection is mostly MTH. Great video, as always.
You are going to LOVE that blue Goose Northern! I am doing a full review of it this Saturday, I love mine!
Nice! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it!

hello zach it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks zach friends randy
Rearward stack is a winner winner 🏆 👍🏻
I like that. Good choice.
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Zach, your new engines are absolutely stunning. Beautiful. Great choices. I always look forward to seeing your videos. 👍🏻

A couple of beautiful steamers !!!!
It’s a shame the blue goose scheme was only applied to the SF streamlined Hudson’s. I guess Lionel has now fixed that. It looks very cool.

@@CountryBunkersTrains Yes, he is and it is!
Hey nice display. Thanks.
Agreed, the hotdog challenger is horrendous. 😂
Zach! The 4-12-2 is my Fav Loco of all!!!!!!!!! Bet it can pull many Shot Glass Gondolas!!!

Always enjoy your videos👍
Thank you!

You’re very lucky to have picked up these beautiful engine, great luck with them (hope I didn’t just jinx them 😱😢) Ron
Oh wow, yeah, three legacy steam engines in one month is quite a haul.
Awesome trains and vids I never miss a vid
Thank you!
Outstanding engines can u spare a few seeds from your money tree LOL CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW ENGINES
Congrats on the new locomotives Zach! Out of the two, I like the 4-12-2 the best. I'm a huge fan of the greyhound paint scheme and the vanderbuilt tender. - Ryan
The 4-8-4 can negotiate 060 on the Store layout
I neglected to mention, the blue goose has been handling my O54’s just fine. Not sure how I missed that…
I like the Who Tooted shirt! My wife always blamed me even after one of the kids pulled my finger.😅
😂🤣
Nice looking engines👍👍👍👍.
Hear hear! The hot dog challenger looks like a 1970s nightmare inspiration.
Absolutely! Needs to go back to the pits of hell where it came from! LOL
On the orange box kick. Lol I have the same problem. Love the engines sir. Nice buys.
Can’t lie! I am! 😂🤣 if only the other orange box pieces were as good as these!! LOL thank you!!
Great video
I love that blue goose
Another great video! Thank you for sharing brother!
haha! Bubb Rubb with the whistle tips!!
Zach. I Don’t Know which one to choose they both are awesome 👍 that Up is pretty bad ass, love the colors nice purchases Thanks for sharing 👍
The other steam yes the big boy whistle is awesome fir that engine we have the same taste lol
If you want that greenbrier John at Brady’s train outlet has one with the cars still yet bet he would let you put it on layaway
The blue goose scheme really is sharp, loved seeing it in person even if it was “some assembly required” out of the box 😂
Keep on promoting the addiction 👍
Absolutely! Better than drugs! 😂🤣 the goose may have required a little assembly, but well worth it IMO! Thanks man!
