You talking about a second run of jlc alleghenys made me wonder if youd go for the legacy allegheny released a while back. As far as i know it uses the tooling of the jlc one with a more accurate sound set. Great video and layout as well, man
Those are some sweet hoppers Norm!! Back in the 80s my cousin set up a nice Lionel layout and since we lived next to the Big 4 Dow line we would walk it and pick up chunks of coal that came off a passing Conrail unit train then Dave would crush them for loads on his hoppers!! He still regrets selling all of his equipment off to this day!!!
Enlightening and fun video with your usual awesome results Norm! The more of these tutorial type videos you show the more I realize you really are human, lol. Two questions…do you just use the coal loads that come with the cars to add your own coal load? Also, do you use real coal?
Dude, I am so impressed with your work and the time you take to truly bring your locos and rolling stock up to an incredible level of prototypical realism. I think your level of weathering is just about perfect, just enough to show it's used but not so much that it looks like it's ready for the scrap yard. Keep up the great work!
Who would give this thumbs down? As always, I'm left speechless at Norm's artistic ability and attention to detail. This video had me thinking of back in the day on the N&W with two Y6s on the point and one pushing or maybe an A mixed in.
JB Weld would have been easier fix to misplaced hole. Great product,have used it on my own freight cars. Something else that may help. Make a silicon flat mold of your 3D printed shims. Then you can Polyurethane Resin cast the shims in resin. Way cheaper to produce shims.
Once again I'm impressed with how cool this stuff is! Can't wait for the next episode!
Oh no, you can't run them without a caboose, FRED's haven't been invented yet!
Absolutely beautiful video and production outstanding work love it 😊🔥 cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝😎👍

I usually do aim powders do you?
if you can find it Mr. Color is REALLY good
Amazing detail 😊
Great job on weathering and some awesome shots 😊
Thanks for sharing

You should put your 3D printer to use and convert a Y6B to Y6A and then run a push/pull coal freight like N&W used to do in Virginia in the 1950's.
👍
Great movie the dirty dozen is
Always look forward to a new video…. Love what you did with these coal cars…
Looking good friend!
Weathering info always welcome!!! Thanks

Nicely done! I need to practice your methods of weathering! Very impressive work!
Another color you may like is Mr Hobby GCI 125 (cowling Black).
I am an HO guy Norm, but I can definitely see the draw with large scale. Nice work on the hoppers! I am in Virginia so they hit home for me.
Beautiful cars. How do you make your coal loads?
The coal cars look fantastic! Sometime I'd like to see how you paint your track. You have the color/colors down perfect.
Brilliance!
