Lionel "Burlington Route" & Union Pacific GP30s
In the 1960s CB&Q and Union Pacific ran GP30s and could be seen lashed together from Chicago on westward. I wanted to model this and turned to Lionel GP30s with TMCC. They are nice, but definitely have their issues!

mth-premier-ac4400cw-light-modification
Having just recently received my new BNSF AC4400CW I was both pleased and annoyed. First off let me say that MTH has out done themselves again. This is a beautiful loco that has all the bells and whistles. Runs like a charm and has great up-to-standard detailing one would expect from a "Premier" product. However, the factory-installed sound file came with the all too known "annoying" horn that is of the "new GEVOs"... This is an AC4400cw? Also- like the PS2 upgrades I have performed, I wanted the most out of my lighting. There are two areas of model train lighting that are pet-peeves with me. 1) head and ditch lights are not bright enough and so are not prototypical, 2) the number boards also act as cab interior lights (or in some cases totally flood out cab lights if installed). So, after having performed several PS2 upgrades I felt I was experienced enough to try a little light modification.
First the Cab lights vs. number boards. I prefer to have a dark cab but illuminated number boards- to keep the number boards from flooding the cab with light, I built, with heavy paper card, shrouds around each light bulb inside for each number board. I had to vent the area so I punched little pin-sized holes for cooling. This allowed a little light to escape to the cab but it was totally manageable.
As for the Head and ditch lights, I basically popped the plastic lenses out of the body and ditch light shrouds. This allowed the actual light bulb themselves to be exposed, thus making for brighter lights. A little hot-glue secured them in place. I also built a shroud, around the head light to keep it from flooding the cab- thus keeping the cab dark.
As all of us train fans know, the head and ditch lights of a real train are so bright they blind us up close, and can illuminate terrain for up to a mile away. Now, in a 100 percent totally dark room, my model trains can do the same- having measured a "scale mile" on my floor layout the bulbs produce scale prototypical illumination on my room walls up to a scale-mile away. And they look proto- typically bright up close. Pretty cool!
The video highlights the loco and I do a full up-close light test at the end of video.

My buddy who is an engineer for Iowa Interstate brought IAIS 513 in from Peoria on a coal run. During a crew change he called me out of bed very early in the morning and told me to come on down to catch it. After the crew change and some locomotive switching it was off to Rock Island....

MUST
must-see!!!-iais-513-rock-island
On a hot summer's evening (7-25-12) I got a call from one of my friends who works for Iowa Interstate who told me another one of my friends was engineer the IAIS 513 Rock Island heritage unit. When my friend in 513 saw me- he flashed the #boards (our way of saying "hi") this was shot with my new Sony HD camera but unfortunately I haven't figured out all the settings- I don't think the quality was set at the highest level...

mth-premier-u30c-rock-island-please-read
What! Cell Phones in 1970s? More on that later... Here are two Premier U30Cs by MTH. This is just a little video (no narration) review MTH's latest releases from thier 2010 catalog, vol. 2. They are Rock Island cabs #4589 and #4592. I have the two running around my temporary track layout in a dual powered lash-up (no dummy engines here!).
At the beginning of the video I run through the freight yard announcements (FYA) dialog. NOTICE.... I changed the sound file of #4589 and It's the only one I can find that has this type of a horn (it's a real honker!). The problem is the FYA has a guy telling the other he will call him on his cell phone. The problem is... When the real of these locomotives ran back in the 1970s THEY DIDN'T HAVE CELL PHONES!!! So by changing the sound file I kinda messed with the prototypical scene of it all, But I really don't run FYA anyway so it'a all good! I love the this horn!
At the end of the video I do a quick light demonstration. I opened up the body shell to access the lights. I did a modification so that the number boards and headlight wouldn't light up the cab. My demo shows the Number boards, headlights, markers, and interior modifications. I then do a final sequence shut down. BTW- When you hear the guy say "take care- see you soon" that is NOT ME! That is the sound file recording from MTH.
I make these videos in hopes that others can see and hear the types of MTH models and sounds that are out there. Hopefully this will help you chose your next model.
So please enjoy, comment if you wish and subscribe too- I always return the favor!
