A Box of Ho Scale Locomotives Arrived! Mail Unboxing

A box arrived in the post office box this morning and I decided to open it today. What turned out to be inside was something I thought was very special: Five different and in some cases unusual locomotives and two pieces of rolling stock. I would like to give a big thanks to Eric for sending these locos and a very thoughtful letter.

SMT! Glad these reached you in good time and without getting damaged. Thanks again for all you do and sharing your love of the hobby. Enjoy!

Some cool locos there, and a cute moggy, having fun pushing the box off at least he didn’t knock the trains off

That small steam engine is fancy I like it

SMT: Let's unbox some trains
Nerf Cat: Let's steal all of SMT's fame.

Great video, and love the cat too! Greetings from Chile!

Nice additions to your collection and channel, Harrison. Another Amtrak locomotive, yes! The Great Northern pulp wood car does look like it's a Tyco, it should be marked on the underside somewhere. If not, Daniel most likely knows for sure. And you have another car to add to the US manifest. 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

The Amtrak unit is an early Proto 2000 E8/9. These were state-of-the-art in the early 1990's when released, and sold for $85 retail. Hard to imagine today! Great runners too

Super. It's possible that the Great Northern pulpwood flatcar may be somewhat rare and possibly valuable. When I was young, I had a little money and wanted a Tyco train car pulpwood train. For almost a year I hit the hobby shops, department stores, thrift stores, and garage sales, and found 27 of them. All of the cars were Southern Railroad red, some with the car data printed on the side, some that just said Southern, with only one being Great Northern green. Just an observation, but I did see a Tyco pulpwood car for $172.50 online, so I am glad my desire for that type of car was satisfied when they were only $2.39 each brand new. P.S. All 27 of the cars survived me and now operate on my railroad. Hello again a little late from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Wow that was very nice of him to send all that. Cute kitty.

Love the Amtrak and the tea kettle. I didn't know they made a lumber car in green. That's different. Great video. Nerf just has to inspect anything new, he hopes there's a cat toy in there!

[stevethpsap]

That was a great letter and really some gifts for you. I know you will fun with them.

[OttawaModelRailFan]

Great Video! That's an interesting looking Polish locomotive.

Hello Harrison. Chippewa Northern checking in. Really enjoy your unboxings. My last cat was a Russian Blue like yours.

[theshoeman]

EB Trains (Eric) generously sends several locomotives and cars. Very nice. Model railroaders are always so ready to help others and share with others. What a great hobby! Later, Nerf Cat shows up to do what he and most cats do so well: steal one or more scenes and knock things off of a table or shelf. Good job Nerf Cat!.

[ianhaynes]

Nice to see a cat, I have five Persians and two of them love to watch the engines.

[warriorstar]

Inspiration comes in several forms. For example, you convinced me to get back into HO a few months ago. I’m set on getting some more locos and stock round the holidays so as to liven things up a bit.

I like that amtrak SMT. I have 2 model power amtrak F7As with the slanted windows and I tracked down matching cars for it as well I always loved the older paint scheme more than the new one!

[jeremyneff]

Love your channel I love model railroading but can't afford it got a few rolling stock but mostly collect the magazines
