York Train Show Haul! My first Brand New engine!? Spring 2024

🤠🚂🖐

We want something with your signature! Now for the Boston & Maine RS-3. To dirty them trucks down a bit, just mix 1 part black model paint (latex or water based) with 6 parts water. This makes a good wash. Clean the parts being washed if needed, and fully dry. The wash will settle into the recesses and make them darker. use your paint brush to soak up any extra wash you don't want on that coat. Let the paint dry between washes. Your can do up to 6 or 7 washes to really darken a project. Seal with a satin clear coat if you wish (recommended). Advanced modellers use different colored washes for effect. View real photographs for color ideas. Try a bit of dry brushing afterwards to highlight. I use this trick on ore car loads to good effect! Great video Dave!

Dave went to York and KICKED BUTT. You STOLE that Williams passenger set!!!!!

Dave it was great meeting you at York on Thursday...congratulations on your recent acquisitions, all nice pieces. Best to you, Bill Thomas

I want the e-unit tool video now, yesterday, even! Anticipation will make me wait! Dag nabbit! 😮

I would totally rock a T-Shirt with your logo!

Boston and Maine rules. One of my favorite railroads 😎👍!

It has to be done. Haha A T-shirt or a cool little billboard would be neat.

As someone who has primarily MTH engines, you won’t be disappointed. They’re great runners even in conventional mode. Also, you can access some select DCS features in convention mode using series of horn and bell button strokes. Can be found in the instruction manual. Mainly the PFA and the couplers. Just a small warning, you can accidentally direction lock it as that’s one of the features, but it’s easy to unlock it. The manual with each engine will explain it easier than I can. As for DCS, strongly recommend a used TIU/Remote combo if you find one at a decent price. Newer setups use the smartphone app. I personally prefer the remote.

So fricken cool man you got lots of awesome finds there very cool bud

Thank You Dave what a great video

Hey Dave...you hit home with the B&M RS3. One of my favorites being a local RR. I had my eyes glued to it rolling until I realized it was at Nick's train room. I actually called Pete a while back and he did offer a terrific price. I couldn't decide on the RS3 or the newly released Railking US Navy switcher. I still haven't decided... I want both. 🤷 Great haul, awesome video. Thank you...😆

Those B&O passenger cars are sweet! I just hope you don't go all non-conventional on us. 🤭

Dave, you have discovered a whole new world. Lots to be said for dcs. Conventional is always fun, dcs adds another level to the fun. Take your time and you will find a tiu and handheld controller that is not horribly pricey. Like that railking diesel.

Nice Pickups Dave...Miss this Show but Will be There This Fall.. Happy Railroading buddie 🎉🎉🎉

It was great meeting you at the York show!! Im Trey if you remember lol. Around early April my train club Yadkin and Catawba Model Railroad, hosts the NC Railroad Expo in Hickory you should check it out!

Saw you with the YouTubers on Fri hanging out by the Standard Gauge Layout. Nice engine, I did see some good deals

" it has to be done..." epic words to live by!!!

Nice finds there! Especially with the B&O E8s and passenger cars. The RS3 was also another great choice Dave

I was there on Tuesday for the free shows at the Wyndham Gardens Hotel, the Reliance Fire Hall and the Free Purple Hall show. All were great and I picked up some excellent buys with some $5 quad hoppers, some $2 scale cars and my coup de grace a 1987 Lionel Burlington diesel brand new in the original box. I have attended York many times but this was my first attendance at the free shows and it was well worth my three hour drive. Nice video and good luck with your purchases and future videos. I'm looking forward tot he e-unit video.
