Hey, SMT. Just wanted to say that I’ve truly learned so much from you. I know you may not mean to make these videos as a tutorial, but it has helped me out a ton. I’ve also recently learned how to solder which has opened up a whole new world in model maintenance. Anyways, just wanted thanks for helping me grow and it’s great to see you grow too. Don’t stop! Stay safe, bud!
Ironic enough I've seen two accounts of FL9s triple heading, one an eyewitness account on freight duty (which even 3 of them couldn't beat the EP5s as stated in said document) and another a photo with the third locomotive deadheading. Quite the railroading oddity you've managed to recreate. I must say I'm quite jealous, I only have two locomotives that even qualify as an FL9, and neither can operate together (I'd rather not ruin the Rapido one while running it with the home built one). Heck, I'd send one your way if I was able to. Hats off to you.
S.M.T. - A little F.Y.I. - E units were primarily passenger locomotives, but were sometimes pressed into freight service. The frame & mating surfaces of a powered truck in a Tyco locomotive, that allows it to swivel inside the body, is called a " gimbal " bearing.
OOOOO Awesome very good thats some New Haven Motive Power in a lineup! The wheels making the clicking noise and the way the locomotives sound like they have their diesel motors running with turbos Screaming WHEEEEEEEEEE. lol very nice
I assume you just use alcohol to clean the commutator, right? That plastic method with the brushes is quite the operation, holy crow. Very smooth running, good work.
Somewhat of a common sight in the Chicago area in the 70s on both the Erie Lackawana and the Rock Island. After EL pulled the plug on passenger service the perpetually power short railroads had two criteria did it run and could it pull freight so EL put their Es to work running from the east coast to Chicago and once they were too much of hanger queens in transfer service in Chicago til they finally died. Rock Island did the same in it's final years after the new RTA F40ph's bumped them from commuter service.
Unfortunately Th New Haven RR never had E units due to the restrictions of the Park Ave viaduct in NYC. They did have a FL9 (B - A1A wheel arrangement) which ran as a diesel from Boston to New Haven to Woodlawn, NY, then used the NY Central's 600 VDC third rail for power into NYC.
Too bad that NH never had E8 equipment. The Alco PA1's were problem plagued and the FL9's were great stand ins for the passenger service considering that they lasted into Metro North days out of GCT.
Sounds legit. My rivarossi 4-6-2 has cracked drive wheels around where the connecting rods are mounted and I don’t want to pay >$100 for a locomotive to take the wheels from
Where can I get the material to make the little thing to use when putting that plate back on the motor piece That and I need a little magnetic dish like the one you got too
I had tyco trains but years later I found bachmann trains to be better.I had a Santa Dr northern steam locomotive.It was a good puller.It pulled a train of 20 to 30 boxcar with no strain.
@@SMTMainline yes it is I was in Illinois at Christmas time to see a cnw heritage unit and I went to the local train club and I see this guy running 6 bachmann sound and dcc equipped Santa Fe F7s and I’m like.... bruh :l
Captain Zeglarz - Make sure you get the proper flux for electrical soldering. Do not use the acid flux for plumbing & metal joining; it will cause corrosion!

I want to use this to do the same too
The 3 of them together looks awsome I like the glossy look to them awsome restoration SMT.
8:30 is the money shot. No stuttering. Looks great. Well done as always.
Hey SMT! Call the mail episodes "SMT mail-line".😂😂
Yes
yes
Sweet. Always have been a fan of the New Haven Paint scheme.
Great video! those 3 E8's look pretty cool together
They do bud! Ain’t that cool?
Got them running smooth Harrison, nice job!
Good old restoration video. Nice Video SMT.
Beautiful.... // I used to live in NY State... 40 minutes from Connecticut..... so, ya..... Nice.
Wow Harrison that’s awesome restoration and have an awesome day

I was just about to say, could the new haven even get as big time as having three locomotives doubleheading in their waning years?
Great looking locomotive! Nice job.
That is a beautiful string of locomotives.
That's a good looking lash-up! New Haven had some nice color schemes. I have an 8 car passenger set in this scheme.
Wow beautiful lash up. Looks so good!
Great, job, really are handy making old things work.
I love the New Haven livery on the E8! They look so good running together
You helped us fix our trains thank you so much
Serenity now.......that’s a great looking consist . Long live New Haven
What a majestic freight train... All what is missing is a New Haven caboose at the end.
3 E7a's running in tandem...doesn't get more classic than that. Lovely units you've got there.
What a great looking consist! Carbody style diesels look great in multiple, it just feels more right somehow.
Mad thumbs up on the repair job
Nice job ! You have a super nice loco now
love all locos and that looks good
love it
Definitely one of, if not the most, bueatiful diesel consist you have, great work on the restoration

You need to get some New Haven passenger cars, so that those E-units can do the job they were designed to do!!!!
I am now satisfied. Thank you.
Love your tyco episodes, I work on the tycos for my grandson (alot )
They can be fun to work on but as you said, they have to be constantly maintained in order to work properly.
I’m using that run by shot for my wallpaper
That's awesome
Just to make 3 New Haven E8 units together is great what you did was worth it
Nice consist
Love the livery
Love the videos and the locomotives! Keep up the Great videos! 👍
I love trains so much I subscribed and I love your videos
Sweet find, picking up a lot tomorrow for 30 bucks it has a 4-84 daylight and a couple other locos I need to pick through
OOOOO Awesome very good thats some New Haven Motive Power in a lineup! The wheels making the clicking noise and the way the locomotives sound like they have their diesel motors running with turbos Screaming WHEEEEEEEEEE. lol very nice
Serenity!
The diesel is an E7. The E8/9 has curved number boards, porthole type side windows, and round roof fan covers.
I assume you just use alcohol to clean the commutator, right? That plastic method with the brushes is quite the operation, holy crow.
Very smooth running, good work.
Ya need to make a six-axle powered version with a dummy... one powered truck put on the other chassis. Run the dummy loco as a third unit.

No b unit, no problem . That's a triple A train for sure
Nice I just got a brand new Walthers mainline BNSF Es44ac with dcc for 140 dollars
because of this video. I want an e8 in new haven line color s!
You should get the Rapido HN passenger cars
You should make the middle unit look like a b unit but it still looks super cool
Great work SMT! When are we going to see the Blue Goose restoration?
I actually already opened up the Blue Boose but just as the other Rivarossi had, the motor is seized and corroded.
Sounds legit. My rivarossi 4-6-2 has cracked drive wheels around where the connecting rods are mounted and I don’t want to pay >$100 for a locomotive to take the wheels from
Now all you need are new haven passenger cars
Me with HO E8s A-B-A
Smt: trip A
You should paint the E7s in either NYC or PRR livery
Nice!
Do you know where to get spare parts for bachmann steam engines?
Are you looking for older parts for bachmann? I would suggest eBay or bachmann trains parts website. That’s my guess.
@@MattKonsol it's an old steam engine but bachmann makes it still but modern
nice job
Nice
Where can I get the material to make the little thing to use when putting that plate back on the motor piece
That and I need a little magnetic dish like the one you got too

Nice man
if you have enough money, u should buy a B Unit if they make them in that livery
Smt next you need a new haven b unit
HAHA! nice 🤣🤣🤣 that’s actually cool
I wonder what ants see when a train is running ...
Chetitos Garcia godzilla X 3000
I know this is wayyyyy early but will you do SMT Xmas 2020
Probably so. Likely differently though.
SMT Mainline yay
Smt when are you going live again
What is your opinion on the New Haven E-P5 Jet Electric Locomotive?
Yee
Where did you learn train repair.you are quite proficient
I just learned through trial and error.
Organize your yard!!
Working on it.
Well the more the merrier
That's it!
@@SMTMainline yes it is I was in Illinois at Christmas time to see a cnw heritage unit and I went to the local train club and I see this guy running 6 bachmann sound and dcc equipped Santa Fe F7s and I’m like.... bruh :l
can you do new vid on your entire collection pleaaaaaaaaaaase
How did you glue the gear back in place I have attempted that with my silver steak but has not worked
You just put a small amount of CA over the top (being careful not to put too much for accidentally put any on the teeth.
Btw can u get som new haven coaches
Hey Harrison I got a question. Iam going to lark spur line Ltd on august 16 would you like to go there and hangout for a little bit
That would be so cool. I hope you guys can!
I think I'm going to be somewhere that day.
What is the stuff you use before you solder? I could t remember the name of it lol
Its flux and it really does its job if you have to solder something.
Chris Braun Thank you! I’m getting a soldering iron on Tuesday so I’m trying to figure out what all I will need.
Captain Zeglarz - Make sure you get the proper flux for electrical soldering. Do not use the acid flux for plumbing & metal joining; it will cause corrosion!
Petemonster62 thanks for the advice!
Hi
What up
Y do u need 3
They all say 1130
I'm not gonna say "first" because I'm not an attention seeker.
the new haven didnt own any e-units which is ironic with the amount of passenger traffic it had
263rd!!
I’m not an attention hog I just think it’s funny.
You is made of train.
SMT is a simp for the Tyco New Haven E8
Absolutely shameless, just ordered another one.
Change the numbers so the second is 1121 and then the 3rd is 1122 Lol
Hi smt can you please play roblox rails Unlimited
@G Schroeder that’s a good idea.
I don't really play video games anymore.
I'm in a NH group on discord and we do professional ops on roblox. we run like the real NH did. get your discord on and I'll send you some pics
The year is 2024
I have a girlfriend
My cat is still funny
And SMT is still buying E8s
