I run the Erie one on my Christmas Layout.

The amount of joy this gives me

Nice review of this Union Pacific dd35a locomotive! I like the detail on it!

Southern Pacific owned three DD35B units as well. DC traction motors did not go away--they are still offered in some models (like Amtrak's P-42 psgr diesels). AC motors are better at lugging at low speeds, but DCs are better at higher speeds. The color scheme on your model is UP's current scheme, not the as-delivered 1960s versions (e.g., with silver trucks and a red sill stripe). The colors--Armour Yellow/Harbor Mist Gray--date back to 1934 and are the oldest scheme still in service.

Very nice layout. Is the narrow gauge line functional or just for scenery.

I saw you there!

What a fantastic presentation Steve. I really enjoyed the history and the review. Now I have to add one of these to my collection!

You can buy a JLC version that looks the same and will cost you less (used)... I have owned 6 of the JLC models of the Big Boy over the years and they always ran perfectly....Lionel quality has gone to shit.

Anyone who calls Standard gauge “G scale” doesn’t know much about Lionel trains…..

Wonder if we're going to see a video on that other loco, the SD70ACe, you got at York!

Sharp looking diesel! Very nice. I'm glad you were able to pick one of those giants up at York! Bill B.

I JUST ORDERED ONE FROM BRADY'S TRAINS A FEW MINUTES AGO. 😊 THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION.

Nicholas Smith Trains still has one with the UP lettering on the sides!

Love the engine, but too big for my layout. What is the number of the green boxcar with the American flag and army star? Thanks.

Awesome layout! thanks for sharing.

Very cool!

Wow, this is impressive! I do not think I have ever watched a 360 video that allowed the viewer to manipulate the video like yours. I was thinking as I was watching this that it would be very neat to be able to view the different halls and tables either before (like pregame) or early on in the show so folks could easily get the lay of the land, but that would be very difficult to do I suspect without prior approval from the TCA. Very cool and thank you for sharing this. Bill B.

Great video! There’s absolutely no excuse for having issues with a $3,000 locomotive. A model costing that much should have a top notch mechanism. Will be avoiding this loco because of the known issues.

I purchased the same model Big Boy, put it on the track and sure enough got the flashing cab light. Because of your video I had no issue soldering the wire back on myself. I couldn't believe the top is held on by only four screws. Keep up the great work.

Ironic I was also attending injured. Broke leg but was on the mend and able to be in walking boot. Had an awesome time. We are also fortunate to live in central PA. We go to York and Strasburg regularly.

Nice whole different view 👍

Great job on the video

Dude. This is wild, and so cool!

That was some incredible footage. That 360° view on my iPad was astounding. Great job on that! Tom

It all starts with a floor layout around the Christmas tree... ;-)

Awesome stuff! I have the non-powered 2022, as well as that CN unit (non-powered). Thank you for your service. That was a cool birthday cake!

Fun to watch, and I even saw myself.

THE best, thanks Steve!!

Awesome! Thank you

Awesome video recap of the first day! That Millhouse River Studios display was really something I thought! I love both Mr. Muffin's Trains and Berwyn's custom runs. I wish I could build as fast as those guys at Model Rail Scenes and have their quality of workmanship. Great job, Steve! Bill B.

Ha, ha, you got me, I should have known, how could one spend days at York and not come away amazed and thrilled by the experience. You hit the nail on the head, of course York is about the trains, but for many of us it is much more. The people and the friendships that come with the York experience is the best part. That ultra-wide birds I view is very interesting. Not something I have seen before. Sorry we did not get a chance to connect at York, not sure how that happened, but I'll try to do so at the next event where we both attend. Enjoyed the video, keep up the great work! Bill B.

That video from 16' above really captures the enormous size of York better than any other video I have seen. Great for people who have not been to York to see! I laughed when you got called out for going the wrong way down the aisle in the member hall. I did the same thing my first time to York too!

After last years April show I wondered what this year would look like. Thanks for the hall views. The April show seem to still be shrinking, more empty table, and was surprised at the setup of Orange definitely less tables in there then in the past.

Just remember that most of the dealers are there in October. Spring April shows are usually slow. Hope to see you in October. Stop by Henning's Trains booth we will be celebrating our 85th anniversary.

A lot of empty tables

Where is everyone? No crowd at all…

Was a pleasure to meet you at York! Love the 360 camera angle, super unique and awesome, keep up the good work man!!

I saw you in the Orange Hall but looked like you were buy,
