Very impressive! What a long train! Thanks for sharing!

That is a beautiful loco on an equally beautiful layout!

Holy Guacamole John, felt like I was waiting at the crossing in Pocono Summit! Awesome video, again thanks for sharing.

The locomotive dispatcher should have assigned a DPU to keep the slack tight. This is a prime example why PSR isn't a great idea concerning super long train consists. Never the less that was an excellent performance by the "Little Joe." 😎😹🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚂✝ My good neighbor and friend gave me another Lionel train set. It is a #1629 only cataloged once in 1960. It is in nice shape and I ordered some of the missing parts. A good cleaning and lube brings it back to great looking and performing capability.

John, your smoking Mercury looks awesome painted, and that stripe really makes it stand out. I restored a grey Mercury but no striping on the engine. I did put pin striping on the articulated cars.

That’s sharp!

A lot of childhood memories here... Thanks for posting!

Didn't know Marx produced copper trains. Had a beat up Marx train set (plastic hand me down) as a teen. Something about Marx though,that stayed with me. Although I model in HO. It's great to know that there are passionate people keeping Marx memories alive. Thank you Fren for sharing your world.

John, looks very nice and smokes well. Interesting cars that its pulling.

Eureka! I be one dog gone happy Marx guy.

Great collection of copper Marx John, very sharp.

Nice to see these beauties still running!

Wait I think I can answer my own question --- I don't remember ever seeing you do a rock island rocket scheme--- you know like the Peoria rocket or quad cities rocket-- rock island had Maroon and silver e7s hmmmm 😁😁😁

Is there a passenger train scheme you don't have???😂😂😂😂 --- it's cool I like passenger trains---- you must have a whole another house to store everything 🤣🤣🤣-- nice work I enjoy what you do

Another great project John. I am getting ready to redo a red mercury set

Looking good 👍🏻

It’s a beauty!

That's a lot of cars for a little locomotive. I have a couple and they do pull real well. Might be traction issue with the other fellows from track to tires that compromised his.

Looks like fun, have a great weekend 👍🏻

That is an impressive consist. More than likely the traction tire needs to be replaced. The MPC era passenger cars don't weigh as much as the post war cars from the 1950's and 1960's so the 4-4-2 shouldn't have any trouble hauling your friend's consist. Incidentally, my neighbor gave me a box of Lionel trains in very rough shape, loco and whistling tender inoperative, trucks oxidized, shells filthy, etc. The set was a 1515 WS from 1954. A few prayers, much elbow grease, WD40, contact cleaner, new wires soldered, etc. has brought this set back to life. The loco is a 2065 Hudson, messed up E unit, corrosion, etc. I don't like working on E units but I got it repaired and this loco zips around the track. It took me about a week and a half to work on this project but it was worth it. 😎🚂🚃🚃🚃✝

Great job can your your words to sing with beautiful Jesus is Lord amen

John, your beautiful custom creations are fun to watch. The green flatcar with yellow spools really stands out and is attractive. Very nice work.

Looks like you’re having fun! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Love these video's AND the creativity displayed :)

Great job on all of them, especially the little joes!

John, thanks for sharing your maintenance tips and running your great looking Amtrak.

Nice to see folks ( you ) who do more than just spend money.... u fix & make stuff :)

I’ve had a problem with bubbling of red spray paint.

Conductor: board the holiday train at the next platform. Kid: which one?

Excellent display! Your trains are beautiful, and I especially like your LED lighting! Great job! 🚂

Both trains are very sharp and run very well. I like passenger trains and these trains don't disappoint. Very nice work.

Beautiful Passenger Trains, Love both Road names.. Well Done John

Looks like a lot of fun 👍🏻

Can’t believe your pulling MTH cars without major wheel slip. Great job!

Impressive, and they`re Marx.

John, what a beautiful trio of Burlington trains, very nice.

Gotta love the Mars lights!

Man, those are fantastic 😊

John, I love the Burlington Northern creations, they look very commanding to watch run.

Well done 👍🏻

Outstanding 😊

Nice job John.

Thanks enjoyed God bless

Nice job John, you are an artist.

Chessie is the best color scheme. I have the MTH 4-8-4 PS3, MTH 2-8-0 PS2, BLI HO T1 and a bunch of the rolling stock in O gauge

26$? Amazing, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
