Here you all go something I have been working on for quite a while I'm glad I'm trying to collect all these versions of these 8 prototypes through out their time of Service of the Santa Fe Railroad pre merger. from when they where first delivered in 1967 and served the railroad till 1995 when the Santa Fe merged with Burlington Northern. These model versions have been made by Athearn Trains part of their Genesis series they are great models but old electronics that I don't like so I'm overhauling them to new electronics to run better including better lighting. This is Ho scale models we are talking about here.

Here is a nice view of my model train running on the North County Model Railroading Society in Oceanside CA. I put a Go Pro Hero 3 on a Bulk head flat car at the rear of my train you will see my train clubs layout from both sides of the car but sadly the battery dies way to quickly on this model of go pro so I'm hoping someday I will get another model with better battery life. we model the San Diego area including downtown with the famous Santa Fe Station. this is part 1 their will be more too. here is the website for the club and with a layout diagram http://ncmrs.org/ I hope you pay us a visit and donate to keep our club running and upgrading the layout with new animations.

I'm installing leds on the step wells of my FP-45 and F45 Ho scale Athearn Genesis models for both front and back and many other locomotives will receive this update. this does take a great amount of Patients. the leds I'm installing 402 which is the smallest leds I think their are I could be wrong. I will also will be installing leds 603 which is bigger than the 402s so I can make sure I have more leds of headlights beacon lights and so on.

Here is my brand new well 2 of them Walthers mainline Trinity Santa Fe 25,000 Tank Cars I bought of Trainz.com great place to buy a lot of great models both used and new I hope you enjoy this video please like and subscribe for more content.

I'm building this next section with a turnout for a little siding I think I will do with it or make a freight depot siding who knows it takes time to plan this out. but sit back and watch the video.

my model train layout update on purchases thus far of my model train collection.

Here is something I have been searching for a long time it's another MOW piece of equipment of the Santa Fe railroad and it's still in existence I think it's still in Winslow Arizona I saw images of it saying it was condemned not sure why I hope they clean it up and fix it to where it can no longer be condemned.

Here is my Santa Fe Black Bonnet Goose Fantasy Paint Scheme in Ho Scale. I had this pre order from train world its a great place to order things like this. Santa Fe Black Bonnets never really existed from the Santa Fe Railroad this is more of what if they where still around and experimented paint schemes.

I got these ho scale railroad crossing signals from a manufacture called We Honest from Ebay and they make some solid singals for their product made out of Stainless steel I have to say they are really something.

Hi everyone I got some new model trains here in Ho scale and wanted to share what I got and including what's going with the layout. I got an athearn genesis Dash 9 Santa Fe locomotive, including a couple passenger cars hard to find. I'm also building 2 new sections of my module layout so I can run little longer triains maybe even build more sections to have a whole layout will see.

Hi everyone here you will see on how to dim your leds that you got via athearn or you custom made for your ho scale locomotive in this case you will learn how to program Tsunami 2 EMD 2 PNP decoder now the master cv for brightness on your lights is CV64 value 0-255 and you will need to use a throttle either digitrax or NCE power cab I used CV64-Value 125 or 100 to ensure the lights are more dim. Now if you want more prototypical lets say for when your train is on a siding and a train is passing you but your lights are still to bright that can blind the train crew of the oncoming train you will need to set up CV63- Value 0-255 I would say set the value of 100 or 85 that way you can make it more prototypical.

Okay here I'm installing a brand new DCC decoder this is a little computer chip that controls the lights, sounds, and movement of the locomotive. This is a Tsunami 2 EMD 2 decoder this particular decoder allows me to use LEDs now before you couldn't do that with the last gen decoders they really weren't the great you could only use Incandescent bulbs which had a tendency to burn out very quickly. with LEDs they are longer lasting and bright now I do advise everyone to use 1kohm resistors 1/4 or 1/2 watt to ensure you don't pop or burn out the LEDs. I will show how you can do that in the next video what I'm doing here is preping the decoder for installment and soldering of the wires but I'm also waiting on the speakers I ordered for these 2 locomotives these didn't come with speakers or a decoder so I had to buy some speakers and current keep alive. again when all the other items I order get here you will all be the first to see how I do that. For now just prep work. I wire everything in one go.

okay here is another review of another piece of Santa Fe Rolling stock I'm not really sure on this one I'm playing catch up on this particular car from the looks of it it's a modified flat car to keep loads from shifting back and forth when the train goes into emergency braking. I'm really not sure on this one but looks like it was used to carry wood, plywood loads and other types of things.

Hi everyone sorry I have been away for a while but to make it up to you all here is a Review on a piece of rolling stock I got recently I'm wanting to build a lot of Unit trains of the Santa Fe when the railroad was not merged with B.N. now known as BNSF which I'm not a fan off. I got this piece of rolling stock to add with my Santa Fe TOFC train I'm building for now until I can build another train just for the auto racks but hey always room for more knowledge on my Railroad I love so much.

Here is the real Santa Fe Super C that was supposed to take trucking off the highway on to the rails but it never panned out sadly. this was a failed attempt in the 1960s but it's still was a cool idea to model. the train was allowed to run on North County Model Railroading Society. this is in Oceanside CA here is their website http://ncmrs.org/ come on down and check it out.

This video is going a little series about my FP45's and the F45s that I own and the ones I'm also trying to acquire as well. I hope you enjoy this video.

Here is another shot of my Super C mixed with refrigeration cars my train is passing through Oceanside CA.

Here is another Santa Fe Super C with Piggy Back Trailers I'm still trying to collect more trailer 85 flat cars and then buy semi trailers to match them it will take more time sadly.

Hi everyone Happy New Years this one is from last year sorry about uploading these now a lot of them have to be edited and make sure I don't have anything that might upset people so they have to be PG so everyone can watch these with issues but anyways I got this new model for switching and I'm so happy I got this loco for switching in case my mike is down these loco have rubber traction tires that fall off if you let them sit in certain temps so keep an eye on that or when your cleaning the wheels. but very nice little locomotives they run great and they have capacitors to keep them running over dirty track.

and here is another video on my station build this one will be I think the final version of this maybe I'm not sure yet it won't be the final version at least until I build a layout for this station to go on so I guess it won't be the last video of this little series.

Here is more of the station build with installing figures and leds.
