Model Railroading > I'll have 2 malleys, 41 reefers and a caboose, please..

The quality isn't too brilliant, but hopefully the imagination can compensate.

Thanks.

Excellent video and layout. Your sound synchronization was great as well. Thanks for posting. Not to nitpick, but the classification of the locomotives is spelled "Mallet".

Not to pick hairs fellas....but the SP Cab Forwards were not technically Mallets. They were acutally "simple" articulated locomotives. The SP heads of the day called them Mallets or Malleys, albit incorectly.

Brian, this is one fine video. I REALLY enjoyed it! Thanks for posting this.

That was great! Thanks! FP

Thanks, guys.

As said, they were known generically as "malleys" (thus the use of the lower-case "m"), despite the fact that they were not actual Mallet locomotives.

Thanks for sharing. Nice.The 40 some cars gives the visual effect to me that it could have been a 100 cars.

Another great video Brian! I am crossing my fingers on the next run of IM AC's. I would finally like to add them to my roster.

Nicely done. Train looks great and runs well. I'm a modern guy but are the engines IM? Also who makes the reefers? The weathering on your reefers looks good.

Bruce

Bruce, the locomotives are re-motored second-run IM, and the reefers are from the usual sources: IM, Red Caboose, Branchline, Trix, Accurail, Athearn, etc. Most have separate grabs etc, but I've no problems in mixing in some Athearns. One thing I try to ensure is that they each have unique numbers. The weathering is a combination of airbrushing and powders.

Two thumbs up on the double-double

Good stuff!

They were always called malleys in Mojave in the old days...

A friend called them mallets but making it rhyme with collet or the hammer used in tenderizing meat until I corrected him. LOL

Nice stuff you've got there!
