Layout #2, Video # 42, Happy Veterans Day

This is our 112th video documenting our exploration of the model railroading hobby. It is the 42nd video for our second (N Scale) layout. In this video, we introduce the Broadway Limited Imports model of the B&O Heavy Pacific steam locomotive, along with some new flat cars and 3-D printed loads. This is a special Veteran's Day video because we made our version of the old Army equipment trains. I have been interested in making a military train model, but the problem is finding the proper locomotives and cars. Each branch had their own locomotives and they are rarely modelled, probably because of low demand. In addition, while some of the passenger cars and equipment haulers have been made, getting them all from the same ear is a lot trickier than I had though. Well, while I was shopping at Dibble's I found a very nice dark green (almost a true OD green) locomotive that had B&O markings. I decided the color was close enough and it became my Army WWII locomotive. We were able to find some flat cars of the right era (Micro-Trains Lines had some with 3-D printed tanks). After I bought what was available from MTL (both with loads and without), Chris took the cue from MTL and we printed more tanks and Jeeps. I now have a small Army equipment train. We will be getting more flat cars for it and adding to the loads. Chris has already printed up more Jeeps, along with trucks and tanks. I am looking for some of the heavyweight passenger cars in Army livery, preferably some coaches, a kitchen/dining car, and a hospital car. We will get a good scale Army train yet. And yes, I have asked Chris if we can find/print any N-scale "little green Army men" to populate it and ride the train. I am not hopeful because he just laughed about it.
