These engines spent most of the time they had in service as pushers over Cajon pass as they ran out of steam in general service. After 10 years they were rebuilt into 20 2-10-2s Santa Fe types that served to the end of Steam on the Santa Fe.

The good news about this locomotive class was that while they did do a good job in helper service, they could only reach a top speed of only about 10-15 MPH, due to their boilers being undersized.

That's an absolute stud of a locomotive. The sound effects are truly phenomenal.

Eric, I've paid money to see.movies that weren't t as satisfying as watching this beast haul it's train through your layout. (Love the red and gray Mohawk.) Bravo! The sound effects are amazing -- the whistles especially are nothing less than haunting. The attached detail and smoke effects are beautiful, while the art deco tender next to that massive loco looks like the crew's rolling lunchbox. If the bell-crank actually.moved(?) you could add elastic thread for the pull-line. Nice to see a tender transfer plate -- so simple -- and all that massive working running gear. Without rear marker lights the caboose almost looks naked. What is the army/red cross car? Just brilliant, my friend. Thanks for making my day.

You sure did a great job with your layout. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Fun to watch its operation.

Love my Valley Flyer once I fixed a couple small issues with it. The swinging bell is perfectly synchronized with the actual sound and the smoke effect is very realistic.

Nice to see Frisco make an appearance. That's definitely a good seling point if the cat approves. :D

Everyone: Have you watched the the movie called “The Train” with Burt Lancaster? It’s a steam train enthusiasts delight. You should not be disappointed!

My favorite movie of all time. I first saw it when I was a kid in the 1960's and it has never been surpassed in my mind all of these years later.

Thank you Eric, I was waiting for that one, just because I DID in fact buy one of these. Nemo-

Go Frisco! We had Webster, my 25-pound Russian blue, for 23 years(!). I'm convinced that he could talk but he didn't think most people were worth the effort. 🐈‍⬛

I was waiting for this review for quite a while.

Thanks for another fantastic video. I will be grabbing one of these monsters.

An incredible locomotive. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

I loved the top of the train video effects.

That was great! Nice seeing you include your wife and cat for that little bit. I hope you’re using the Christmas tree scented smoke LOL!

Awesome video friend!

An incredible Locomotive and review. You always showcase the sounds and other highlights. Really makes me want one! However, it really appears that front truck assembly is very fragile, line the one on the new veranda. Makes me wonder if it could ship to Ca. In one piece?Lol. BTW, THE 📷 shot behind the Loco made me feel like I was riding the train. Very nice touch! Keep up the greT work Eric!!

My whistle choice is #3 with the default bell tone because on the original #3000 that came out in 2009-2010, it had that exact whistle #3 and default bell tone.

Love the pulling power.

Awesome video 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful cat. I hope Chessie is okay? Might own one of these Vision Line or MTH Premier locos someday, if I ever move into a place where I can build a large enough layout.

My only problem so far on mine is that the whistle gets clogged too many times and I have to blow in it a lot.

What a beautiful train

love your weathering

Nice,,,, very cool 😎

Those gauges light up in the cab?😱

If these were preserved where would they run🤔

Frisco sold me on it

If I had a layout I wouldn't let Nexus (my cad) on it because he's a HUGE CHONKER so I wouldn't trust his huge body not to knock something over. hahah
