O Gauge Union Pacific

Boy leaving you home by yourself is very good for us UP GUYS. Love those cars and cabooses. 

I think you and Aaron should move to the NE. We then could combine our UP equipment and model the entire UP system. What a layout that would be.

Are you trying to collect every challenger the UP had? I hope so,lol.

These next two offerings have paint schemes that don't exactly match the era I like but I don't mind because Seriously....having a crane on your layout is just too much fun!

MTH 20-98750 CRANE TENDER

MTH 20-98746 CRANE CAR

I love this car!  Great details.  The platform is all die-cast. Nice 6-wheel trucks.  The crane movement and actuators for lift and cable are manually moved by one of two included separate doo-hickie-like-screw-driver-thingies (that's the scientific term). 

Well I have to get back to being somewhat productive....so one final offering for the day.....

I hate to sound like a broken record but I love this car too.  Then again would anyone really spend the kind of money we do on a car they don't love?  Nice heavy flatcar with decent details...the Sherman tank is wonderful.  Be careful with all the additional detailed pieces. I forgot to take the mounted "Ma Duce" off of the turret once before putting it away and snapped off the machine gun mount. (I'll get around to fixing it.)

As stated earlier this also comes in two separate 6-car sets.  Military train types could make an awesome train with these!  

Interesting side note.  Mike's must have made a deal with HobbyMasters for the tanks. Don't know if they still make them or not but they offered the identical Huston Kid along with many other very cool 1:48 military pieces.  I've purchased another tank from them separately that my LHS had in stock... a slightly different version Sherman with soldiers and pieces. Pics of that included too.....

I know there's a lot of great UP stuff out there that I don't have but I'm sure other Forum Members do....Can't wait to see your pictures when you post them.....

Great little loco, I have it and with upgraded smoke and chuffs it runs and sounds great.

merdy Christmas to all and a healthy new year.

Here are some pictures of my UP that I could get to.

Great looking layout and a great collection of UP equipment. 

Awesome Mikey. I love your collection! Thanks for sharing.  Looks like you have a great train room too!

Tell me about this 0-6-0 from MTH.  Premier or RailKing?  What's your opinion of it?

Golly - 4 pages and I somehow missed this thread completely!  Must be slippin'..

Here is one of my favorite PW F3 sets that were custom painted (2343/44) by Richard Sherry many moons ago. I always loved teh silver trucks with the bright yellow and lite gray

Hi WITZ and 86TA355SR,

The 0-6-0 Switcher is the only Railking unit that I have and the sound,whistle and bell sound great,they are not the generic MTH sound which is why I kept it,all three main lines are 096 curve and Ross switches.

Mikey

C.Sam,

I have always admired your layout,nice F Units.

Winter dusting and rearranging time a table full of domes

WITZ 41 the observation is from the GM Train of Tomorrow in the UP paint. Thanks again Scott!!!

Very nice passenger cars. Welcome to everything UP.

Not all the cars but you get the idea. 

David,

Those are fun! and tighter diameter curves too.

That kind of set would be perfect for an around the room shelf layout. 

A foot below the ceiling and just above the door/window line would give you a big continuous loop to enjoy a nice long passenger consist like that. Add a tight turning diesel and you would have enough color to catch your eye but it would be distanced enough that you wouldn't mind the simple detail.

Better get crackin' on that construction!

Not UP but being a big fan of western railroads I bought quite a few of the aluminum sets back in the 80's and 90's. Lionel made some great sets back then. All 15" but they look great IMO. 

Take a look at the great NORTHERNS. These are also 35+ years old.

WITZ 41,

These 15" passenger cars look great no matter where you run them. They really look pretty good like most trains do on wider radius curves. I have O72 and they look better then most larger cars. Of course that is just my opinion.

Guys it's been awhile since somebody posted on this thread.

I have been putting together the Union pacific city of Los Angelos train. Here is some pictures  of what I have so far. All the cars are from K-line

The baggage and RPO ARE 60'  and the rest of the train are 72' which is prototypical for the city of Los angelos. 

Still looking for a few more of the dome coaches.

Yes I did, been hoping for them for quite While.

Aaron,

I'll be at York on Thursday and Friday. We must meet up if any of you guys are there. 

This was on "that" auction site not too long ago.  I passed.  I would say though I would really like this O Scale 2-Rail Brass Pacific......

But in 3-Rail to pull my GGD TTG Harriman set, and with legacy, and painted like this......

I might buy 2 if they also painted it like this....

.I know I'm a.......Broken record....skip...repeat....skip...repeat.....

Very cool set Aaron, love that E7. That is one fabulous set. 

Very nice Aaron, should be a great looking addition to your layout. 

Posted this in another thread, but figured I share some of my UP Power.

Great Videos!  Welcome the thread.   Looking forward to seeing more of what you've got!

Thanks very much! 

I am running 3 powered Atlas Dash 8's and 2 GP 60 Santa Fe's

Nice video, thanks for posting.

Same here, love those UP engines

Arron,

    I still own the original Williams UP City of San Fran Passenger Train, she still runs smooth as silk and she is one of my favorite passenger trains.  She is one big Williams Train and in order to run her I must mix slightly smaller pasenger cars in with the big UP, the original Williams UP was engineered to run on 054 when running the complete train.  Running her from the DCS Hand Held Remote Control via the TR Z4k mode, she runs even smoother than straight conventional, simply an awesome old Williams original.

UP #4014 steams buy.....
