The New York Central railroad put its steam engines to good use when moving of freight along its 'water level route'. The most iconic locomotive of the time was the Hudson, which utilized a 4-6-4 wheel arrangement. With its larger diameter wheels, and a larger firebox, it was well suited for high speed freight and passenger service. The ‘Empire Builder’, the ‘20th Century Limited’, and Pacemaker were just some of their most famous passenger trains in ‘Central’ service. Interestingly enough, the NYC used the ‘Pacemaker’ name for their fast, efficient freight service as well. Freight moved by this train, had special cars that were painted in a red and gray paint scheme with white, or white over black NYC graphics. In contrast, their brightly colored ‘Early Bird Express Freight’ cars were painted in orange, and stood out quite differently when mixed in with other freight. K-Line's well detailed J1e Hudson pulls off with its heavy freight at (2:25). Going by the switch tower at (3:15), the train passes by another Hudson, a J3a made by Williams, as it pushes back to couple itself to the Pacemaker consist waiting on the hi-rail (3:45). The freight cars, made by Atlas, K-Line, Lionel, MTH, and Weaver, are well detailed, and feature accurate paint schemes. Watch as these trains travel through town (4:32), around sweeping curves (4:50), over waterways (8:43), and past industrial areas (9:45) all rendered in 1/48 O-scale. In this video, I've done my very best to capture all the details of actual trains in operation in a most realistic way. There's a lot to see in the layout itself, which showcases a most iconic time in America during the 1950's. Please take time to 'Like' and subscribe, and share this video with those you know.
