    A quick note on the Lionel RWM transformer. I said it was made for the Canadian market because it operates at 50 cycles. Today Canada uses the same 60 cycle power that we use here in the U.S., but when the RWM was being sold (1948-1954) Canada did use 50 cycle power...at least to some extent.

      Lucky dog! You're not the only one crazy enough to collect transformers. That one and the 1043-500 are pretty difficult to find. Well the 500 isn't supper difficult but the prices are lol. I might have more transformers than trains..

    The ACWR cars are a rarity for Lionel- the color is actually close! Having seen and chased the set a few times, the paint changes color depending on lighting. Very much a hot rod style "candy" color finish, glad to see they actually got the sheen right!

    The train that you run at the end reminds me of the UP Donation train that's going across the Midwest right now, with all the variation of rolling stock.

    FYI, the Canadian Pacific horse car "Pony Express" is an actual rail car now used as a party car. It has been used several times in the past on mostly California based rail excursions. Often behind Santa Fe steam locomotive 3751. CP rail number 4210. Was owned by William Garner. Not sure of current owner or disposition. Car was originally used to transport horses for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for various shows and events.

    Removing the window in front of the cam significantly improves video quality. Dissembling the caboose is a pain. There are TH-cam video of people doing it.

    Just in case you didn’t know, the Pony Express horse car is actually an open air car for passengers now, and was pulled by ATSF 3751 in 2013. Also, I’m super excited for the other Aberdeen Carolina and Western rolling stock as well!

    Awesome video. I got back into model railroading in 2018. I run HO scale. I want to get O scale but not sure where to start. But for ho scale i highly recommend getting a few cards of the various lenght track pieces they usually have a few different sizes. Also there are a few track heights tou can choose. I perfer code 100 as the rails are taller then whats the other code 73 and codr 50 i think not sure i always used code 100. Im not an in the hobby but HO scale is an abreaviton for Half of O scale. If you want to run longer steam locomotives like say bachmanns U.P. #806 from the 9 car overland limited which is a 4-8-4 steam engine runs best on radius 20 curves or wider it'll run on 18 which is pretty standard but and locomotive bigger the a 4-8-4 will struggle. This is my knowledge from personal experience. I Hope it helps you with your HO scale adventures.
