I feel it's a requirement along with the state of maine boxcar and at least one "super shock control" santa fe car

Project is still ongoing, so that's TBD! If you're interested in hiring me to build you a layout or help with one, send me an email or DM me on Instagram.

Thank you SO much Jeremy! It means a lot. It was such a pleasure to bring it to life, and I'm forever thankful it's your GP40 being one of the prides of my fleet.

I have a video dedicated specifically to the C625 in the works. I plan to build a second unit if I can score a sound equipped model for a good price soon...

It's a really fun accessory! I want to set it up, paint & weather it to look realistic and have fun with it.

Thank you! Make sure to check out part 1 to see the completed models as well!

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I cannot wait to share with you all the fantastic models I'm working on at the moment as well. so stay tuned.

@@InterurbanEra you’re welcome! As a huge fan of west coast railroading, this project really scratches my never ending itch for West coast railroading of any sort, California, Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, etc. I have been on a massive ATSF, SP, and UP kick as of late which led to me purchasing an M.T.H. G SCALE (ONE GAUGE) SP GS-2 4-8-4 #4413. My main model railroad gauge I do is G scale, I just love my model trains bigger and better!

@@aaronprewitt344 That sounds spectacular! I had no idea that a No.1 gauge GS-2 existed. That has to be the ultimate toy. Do you have a nice garden railroad to run it?

@@InterurbanEra Thanks! Yes, they do exist, and MTH did one in SP Black #4413, BNSF Excursion Black #4449, WP Black #486, SP Daylight #4449, and AFT #4449. It is the ultimate toy, and I’ll love it till the day I die! No, I don’t have a garden railroad, but I do have a small indoor loop layout. The engine cannot run under track power as for whatever reason it’s missing electrical pickups. I can however run the engine on rollers using the tender’s pickups and wiring the engine up to the tender. I’ll have to look into getting an MTH TIU (Train interface unit) and a place to put the receiver (probably in a boxcar behind the tender) if I actually want to run it. It’s an amazing gift from one of my closest friends at my train club, Del Oro Pacific Modular Railroad. Bless his soul, he’s an amazing, kind, wise, wonderful, and humble person. I have a Facebook account if you want to see #4413 and many other train related posts. My account is know as Aaron Prewitt (my irl name)

Hey interurban era! I’m in Sacramento right now, and have already visited the California State railroad museum. Anyway, my G scale SP GS-2 is such an amazing toy! I wouldn’t trade it for the world, it’s the best G scale model I have by far. I don’t have a garden railroad to run it, but I can run it on rollers only, as the locomotive for whatever reason has no electrical pickups. I can still run it with sounds and smoke on rollers, and even that alone is a show in itself!

It's going to be great. There's so many unusual projects and some locomotives that'll be iconic additions to the roster as well.

It's such a satisfying and easy kitbash to do. When you've completed your model, please send me a link so I can enjoy the work you've done.

It has a REALLY good backstory, which I'll be sharing up on Patreon first, and again in refined form when I produce a video about the model itself.

I'm very excited to paint up the first F45, since it's the most iconic locomotive of the ALTA concept in the Mexico68 scheme. The PA has been a joy to put together as well.

Strongly agree about the proto switchers. They managed to improve them quite a bit too with the cast frame/walkways on the new models as well. What a great improvement. The Loksound sounds great, and probably even moreso after I put a scale sound systems speaker in it.

All of the finished ALTA units are custom painted by hand by me. I designed the decals and sent them off to a decal printer to be made, and then I used an airbrush and masking tape to paint up each unit. That said, I'd love to have a batch of ALTA units made from a model railroad manufacturer sometime soon.

@@InterurbanEra I meant the boxcars (I assume they're made the same way) and stuff but that would be cool too!

This means a lot! Thank you so much. Stick around for more locomotive reviews and more scenery on the layout as it comes together.

I guess you are referring about sam trains

@@gamerfan8445 amongst others ... we have a few here in Australia too - sadly many do not seem to know much about the prototype as well.... C'est le vie

Same

I agree

Hi

🤪🤪🤪🤪

Hmmm yes sigma

So, broadly I set a "standard" suite of detail parts that most diesels I make will receive. Most units will get: -Firecracker Antennae -Leslie S3L 3-chime horn (Passenger locomotives get 5 chimes that sound even prettier) -MU hoses & Airbrake hoses -Sunshades -Grab irons & lift rings Then I crack open my twin set of spreadsheets (ultra nerdy) and first look at my all-time roster of locomotives I've picked for the ALTA railway from 1927-199X and see which number series the models need to be. Then I make custom decals for the locomotives, which include road numbers, ALTA lettering, "Radio equipped", and warning labels that go on the locomotive. Once they're printed out and sent to me, the process of detailing, painting, lettering and weathering each unit begins. Then I open the second spreadsheet and enter the new model into the "Complete 1968 ALTA model locomotive roster" and enter the completed locomotive data, the model I made it from, the road number and any other notes about it.

I'd be very curious to find out how you did it, please link it here if possible!

@@InterurbanEra it will take me a few to make a quick video. I will get one together

@InterurbanEra hey, what is the email address? I can send you some pics.

I make them from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, carefully designing my logos and type to be realistic to the time period. Then I send them off to be printed by either Fusion Scale Graphics or Circus City Decals. Both places do an excellent job.
