- 10/5/19: WHAT UPPP, IT'S YO BOY NSCALE (in N scale lol) and welcome to... an unboxing and review of the new NJT model trains-AHH, insanes-AHH, off the chains-AHH! Mah boys, yall prolly talkin' bout some "yo, how come yo nerdy ass gon' do a review, even tho you damn near never do?!"
Yall, what's good is that it's been a H-AHH-T minute since any modern passenger trains have been released in N scale... aside from the dope ass SMART trains yo boy built earlier this year! So I'm HYPE, and I'm sure mah peeps who model modern trains are too! Also, Atlas been talkin' bout some "3rd quarter 2018" for the release of these joints, and STAYED delaying them! That was that bullsh#t! 😒 But yo, it's all good, cause... I know some sh#t was goin' down in the Atlas factories in China! And besides, better late than never lol!
Especially when yo boy saw these same NJT trains that Atlas made in HO (HOes... noes? XD) scale, back in 2017-AHH... mah boys, that sh#t looked straight FIRE!!! 🔥 The detail was on point, and the locomotive/cabcar/interior lights O_____O AHH was like HOLD UP!! That and Atlas's Master line is tha sh#t: yo boy had plenty of Master locos and rollin' stock way back in the day, and Atlas Master is tha BIG BOESS of lil' N scale fo' real with details and features on 'em!
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO... LET'S DO THIS SH#T!!!
0:07 OHHHH SH#T, off the bat we do the damn thing with the unboxing on yall! Yo, Atlas was doin' MADRRRR work: the detail is off the damn chain! The roof markings, lil' seats in the coaches... and the pantograph that goes up and down (PAUSE)... WHAAAAT?! Guess you could say yo boy was SHOCKED, when I checked how detailed the lil' pantograph was HH HH HH HH 😆
3:44, 7:09 Next, let's roll with the operation test! At first, the single locomotive and 2 cars be killin' it! The loco be rollin' slow (it gets a lil' fasterrrr after warming up, but still... more on that in a sec) but smooth as f#%k! And the lights, hold up mah boys! Who was in the design studio doin' work?! O_O cause this sh#t is LIT!! LOL Both the locomotive and cab cars have headlights, red marker lights and ditch lights! The locomotive even has red lights on the back, ohhh sh#t! But yo, what I'm really talkin' bout is that the Multilevel coaches have interior lighting on both floors! Double interior lights, double dululululs! O__O
6:23 Turnout test... we was still killin' it!
7:45 Now the long ass train test was not so h-AHH-t... no pauses on that! That's the whole reason I bought 4 sets, so I could test 4 locomotives and 8 cars rollin' together lol! I know, the numbahs are the same... but yo boy can handle that in the future when I get around to printing decal sets! Now I hate to say it mah boys, but we took an L in N scale! The cab ends and locomotives have body-mount couplers, but all the regular ends of the coaches have truck-mount couplers! 💩 Now that's that bull bull! For those of yall who don't know, truck-mount couplers are wack and are usually used for cheap ass trains! But even worse, truck-mounts and body-mounts don't mix, so when yo boy saw that sh#t on these NJT sets... oh hell no!
I was right when I knew these couplers were gonna be a problem! Welp, sure enough these mothaf#%kas derail on every damn turn... Atlas, for real? 🤬 I mean I use 12 3/8" radius turns on the test track, which is tighter than what I use elsewhere, but still not that tight (pause)! I mean bruh, there is a workaround where you couple the cab ends together/ to the locomotive and all the other ends together so the sh#ts don't mix... but yo, still!
9:21 Hold up, what if we try 8 cars and one locomotive? This joint pulls 8 cars like a BOESS... but needs to haul more ALSS! The legit top speed of an ALP-45DP is 125 mph, yet even after breaking in, the Atlas model does well under A-HUNNED (scale) mph! 🐌 To be fair, yo boy's test track is powered by a 12-volt Kato power pack, when most packs sold in the US be doin' work with 15V! But still, I doubt 15V can get these rollin' all the way up to 125!
11:38 Let's do some railfanning on 'em! And let's add even more juice on 'em mah boys! Yall know we gotta represent tha hood, with some NJT buses on 'em!
14:49 Pictures to please our AHH's! 👀
It's a wrap mah boys, I'm done! So in the end, these models look GOODRRRR, but have some big ass flaws... sh#t looks off the chain, but runs off the rails! But I kinda have to give mah peeps at Atlas a pass on dat ass, cause this is only the first time they released these joints in N scale: Atlas ORIGINAL RECIPE!
What's good (pros):
-Details on point
-Lights look H-AHH-T! O___O
-Locomotive pulls like a BOESS and is smooth as hell!
What's wack (cons):
-Truck mount couplers on non-cab coaches 🤬
-Locomotive needs to roll a lil' fasterrrr! (on 12V at least)
As always, no bull bull music; yall can put on whatevah yall wish in background, cause it's about UGHS lol! Thank yall for tunin' in to some new sh#t mah boys! Imma see yall soon, holla at yo boy, YEAH!!!

NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) Where’d u get the DMUs, they’re dope
@@CentralJerseyRailfan thanks man, they are! The DMUs are custom; I 3D printed kits off Shapeways and built them fron those!
NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) epic, probably uses a Kato chassis
@@CentralJerseyRailfan pretty much, it uses the tomytec HM-01
@@lolfunnycp prolly is dual motored then. i'm looking at repowering my NewRay RailroadN trains with dummy wheelsets to collect power for the existing motor
I wish you luck to having a huge n scale sound layout with all the trains you wish for.
Cool video! Yeah they're real nice! I hear you about the truck mounts, my coach kept derailing at even a slow speed on a curve like that. It's good to see that it can be done ha! Atlas did such a good job w the deets, the truck problem is a shame! Kato stuff never had problems. The set is boss though! Wanna snag the ATM set too, even though the company is in transition. Cool video man!
Thanks mah boy! I'm glad it's not just me, but welp... I'm hoping Atlas will release an official fix soon, or we'd have to convert them to body mounts if we wanna roll them in legit configurations 😕 Yeah I feel you, my Kato commuter set has the same coupler configuration but has no problems, so I think Atlas just messed up! Yeah, this set is still BEOSS lol! And same; AMT's blue paint scheme is tha bomb O_O
I HOPE YALL WILL FIND THIS HELPFUL MAH BOYS:
1. To get these, you must either pre-order or buy from Ebay right after they're released! Those are the two ways I got mine! Yo, check out NScaleSupply, they stay taking pre-orders as of december 2020 www.nscalesupply.com/atl/atl-passenger-commuter.html Pre-order now or you may have to wait until the next production cycle lol!
2. If yall want to obtain these outside of the Atlas pre-order cycle, your best bet is Ebay! They will be rare as f#%k... welp, good luck!
3. I apologize but mine ain't for sale! It took yo boy too much time and effort to build my whole set... I got like 20 cars and 6tfh locomotives, some were a b#tch to find since I preordered from a sketchy site and they didn't deliver everything
I’m definitely getting this locomotive. I am worried however about the issues regarding the bi-levels. Luckily, Rapido is making some Comet III cars so I will likely get 3 of those instead
Good move man! Yo I might have to get some of those Comet III cars too, when they drop lol
What trucks would you reccomend using for those to avoid derailments?
OMG! This is so cool! I want one! Where can I find this?
What’s the main cause of the derailing of the bi levels?
If I remember correctly, it was due to the trailers having truck-mount couplers. On curves, they didn't work well with the locomotives and cab car ends, which had body-mount couplers.
Hey 👋 I’m going to make a few things that you really need to do for you to bring the new George transit
Where did you get the smart train? It runs locally around me but I can’t find any models
I custom build it... there's a shapeways kit available plus I wrote a guide on how to build
Go to extend the set longer because most of the trains that operate around Hillside where Atlas models is from actually run to or from New York Penn Station to High Bridge and Annandale Exit 18 I-78
I been extend my sh#ts lol (pause)! I got 24 cars in total now 😂
@@lolfunnycp thanks & the actual train is 8-10 cars long the same thing for a Bay Head to New York Penn mode switch Long Branch.
Oh I want IT I want I want it I Want IT I Want It Like so badly
Cool video I subscribed now.
Mah boy, where have you been the past month? I haven’t see anything new from you! Also have you checked out that 93 GMC/White Expeditor?
Yo what's good! I've been busy as f#%k with school, so I ain't had much time to fan! I still have some uploads planned... i'll prolly do the damn thing over thanksgiving or winter break! Ohhhh sh#t, could you send me the link lol
NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) here’s the title: 1993 GMC/White W/ 20 YD. Heil ASL - Test Drive. And what uploads do you have planned? Also have you gotten any more throaty exhausts recently?
@@GarbageSean I see you now! That 1993 gmc/white is throaty AS ALL F#%K!!! 😂😂👻👻 L10 killin' it again!! And do AHH have throaty uploads planned? Oh hellll yes!
Where did you get those Flxible Metros?
I made them myself lol
Nice choice using flxible buses
Howmuch price ?where did you buy this train model .
Check the pinned comment
nice train's and buses
Whats the DMU. at 10:30?
SMART train, custom made
Looking great, I've subbed
What kind of tracks are those?? I'm trying to find the right tracks for my set and those tracks looks like the right ones
It is the Kato Unitrack system, in particular the M2 set that I use as my test track
I think ima order an 8 or 9 car set
AWESOME!!!💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
I need a cab car
me too, i'm considering getting some in HO
Multi level, Bi level is basically the same
Awesome video mate and I love bombardier are better than a ugly hyundai rotem
NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) me too I don't like Hyundai Rotem Tri rail and metrolink but not mbta. Mbta is the best built passenger
NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) me too anyways do you want come to my channel
@@FamilyGuyandWonderGarbo8448 Yo I saw the Enviro 200 video you posted; that sh#t sounded GOODRRRR! O__O
NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) yeah did you write a comment
@@FamilyGuyandWonderGarbo8448 just now yeah

Does it run on DC?
Yep! But it is DCC-ready and Atlas also sells locos with DCC preinstalled!
Am gonna ride tis damn f-ing train
What's good man
9:11 Amtrak Long Distance Trains. Lol
It kinda does look like one XD
XD
How you get the buses?
I designed them, 3D printed off Shapeways, and painted them! The buses in the video are part of my collection, but I also build to sell if you're interested
NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) I will let you know by tomorrow
@@ricardoserrano4533 cool
