MEGA Vintage Locomotives Unboxing - And Much More!

It's been over two months since I last did a mail unboxing to today I decided to do a mega one featuring seven parcels. Collectively between the boxes there were countless vintage ho and n scale locomotives, track and buildings.

A huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this unboxing for your generosity!

Did not know you were in Quebec! I lived in Montreal for several years, loved it. Wish I never had to leave. I live right below you now in Maine - will have to send you something!

That little green engine is a Norris Locomotive Works 4-2-0. Norris started building them in the late 1830s, started delivery of them in the early 1840s, they called it the England class because they built them for the Birmingham & Gloucester Railway in England. The first one was called the George Washington, for its trial run it was tested on a 7% grade in Philadelphia, becoming the first locomotive to climb a hill under its own power pulling a load, proving steam locomotives could climb grades while pulling loads, this accomplishment was so amazing that engineering journals at the time doubted it happened and a second trial with a heavier load than the first took place, the locomotive pulled it with ease.

Seeing all these great gifts from your viewers is very inspiring. I like to think it’s an indication that the train hobby I love so much is still going strong. I love all the gifts and knowing you will be showing them off on the channel. Thank you SMT!

The Shay is a Model Die Casting / Roundhouse kit engine. You can find parts on EBay. They are noisy by design. There are you tube videos on tuning for best operation. VERY FINICKY. The Round BoxCab Diesel uses the same drive line design. Most of the noise comes from straight cut gears. And when the body’s are added the noise gets amplified.

I knew exactly what that N scale flat car was the minute you unwrapped it Harrison because I have the same type of car in HO scale only mine is a Walthers Mainline model decorated for TTX. These cars can run with either four 20 foot containers, two 40 foot containers, or a two 20 foot and one 40 foot container load configuration. I've also got a few of those old Athearn blue box passenger cars as well. The most trouble I encountered assembling these cars are actually pressing the windows in place. You may have to do some trimming and filing to get everything to fit properly, but they look very nice when finished! Very cool lot from some generous viewers Harrison, thanks for sharing and happy holidays!

love the shey, it would look great running on the mountain section of your layout wuth severl log cars being pulled up the inclines

[andrewcoates]

the D&RGW is the Denver And Rio Grande Western which had a fair bit of narrow guage like the k-37 no 491

[philipvandyke]

Yes, nice Canadian manors as usual. Always polite in mentioning gifts and much like his repair// fix videos. Keep up the good work

[Itsjustme-Justme]

I instantly fell in love with the old Athearn box art you unboxed first and the 1800's train 😍

[strobson]

Ice cream hot dog stands will look great on your circus 😊

[MrBnsftrain]

You have such generous fans! I might send you a locomotive and caboose I'm planning to get rid of.
I do hope you can add more to that N scale layout, especially sidings and a Christmas tree.

Harrison Merry Christmas glad you finaly open my parcel, the O-4-O switcher is just about brand new and mainly run max 10 hours hope you can figure out the band issue and have fun running it on your layout and someday see all the Hersey boxes cars run around your layout too. I will enjoy it when people ask for an Am track complete passenger set running on one of your your live streams, I will enjoy that you finally have a complete running set with all your AM Track engines, wish I could have put steel wheels on them. P.S do expect to receive surprise parcels from time to time as mainly other sub and members of your channel have done many times to keep the passion alive.

[karafaunt]

These videos are definitely my favorite. The sense of mystery in the boxes makes me smile. Great vid!

[GaryDavis-irfh]

remarkable looking collection of train pieces!

[Unknownuserlif]

I would like to start do this for an hobby and it is all because of you. You have inspired me. Love the videos keep it up.

[realcanadian]

N-Scale! Colorado Narrow Gauge! Shays! I know this is going to be one of my favourite videos of all time!

[GeorgeGerules]

Merry Christmas to you. I enjoy your enthusiasm, easy going teaching style and knowledge. I'm thankful for you getting me back into this hobby!

[earlwidmeyer]

Harrison. I glad you finally got to your viewer mail. And merry Christmas, what a good haul. I sent the Soo Line, CN and Shay Engines. I didn't think viewers would find the Shay that interesting. I bought it as is. When I put it on the layout, it was shorting out. I didn't think it worker at all!! Good thing it does, all you need is to find the piston parts!. The SOO "B" unit just need the wires reattached. I glad some comments that viewers likes the painting of the Soo Lines!! The CN engine just needs the handrails, I thought you could use the ones from the 2 shells!. Again Great haul from everybody who sent stuff in. I like the idea of you using some of the items to build a layout for someone else.
Keep up the great videos Harrison!
Cheers!
