Welcome aboard!

Here you'll usually find videos about: model train restorations - model train hauls - visiting train stores pretty much everywhere - visiting railway related artifacts - un-boxings and some mild rail fanning. I've been model railroading since 2006 and have been a train fan my whole life.

Thank You for visiting!

New HO Scale layout series soon. This one will focus on something easy for beginners to make. It will also be a Bachmann Kato track battle!

I bought the Cadillac of HO locomotives and it has problems. Manufacturers still think fitting small plastic parts around metal is a good idea after decades of it failing. The all metal driveshaft in my gran’s Rivarossi is still okay after 75 years.

Someone called 'smtmainline.real' is impersonating this channel. My actual account is simply smt_mainline. Gotta love that they added 'real' to add some authenticity. They might as well have called it 'This is for real smt mainline' 😂 Don't interact with it.

Here is an unusual catch - does anyone know what the yellow Canadian Pacific engine is? I found this in my camera roll from a road trip I took in 2021. I had forgotten about it until looking for footage I needed for an upcoming video.

Got the hills on the side of the mountain layout all patched up. As some might remember the missing center section once had a tunnel which headed to the freight yard. Now line two runs behind it.

It wouldn’t be SMT Mainline without a mainline and parts need to be replaced from time to time. In this case it was 3, 20 year old switches. The new ones are in place, being tested ⚡️

Which one of these HO locomotives would you like to see brought back to working order first?
