Does anyone remember when METX 90 looked like this in 2019? I remember seeing it once double headed with METX 217 in Fox Lake back in May 2019

A few updates and announcements!

1. I'm working on a new intro for the channel.

2. I have found some old Metra rush hour videos on my phone that I have never uploaded to YouTube yet. So, I will be posting those videos sometime soon.

3. I've been dealing with a ton of storage issues on my phone for the past 2 months, and I still am, so that explains why I've never uploaded any compilation videos yet. But I'm working to resolve those issues and start uploading more compilation videos.

Hey everyone! I have some channel updates and announcements.

1. I'm bringing N-Scale content to an end for a while because I really don't feel like uploading N-Scale content anymore. Plus, I hate the way my layout looks, so I'm going to start working on the new 2025 layout update that I mentioned a few months ago. I don't know when exactly I'll be uploading N-Scale content again.

2. Since N-Scale content is ending for now. I will continue to upload daily Metra videos of every Metra locomotive I've recorded in number order (METX 73 - METX 614). These daily videos will be the only type of content that I upload on my YouTube shorts until I've uploaded a video every Metra locomotive that I've seen. Tomorrow will be a video of METX 104. Stay tuned!

3. I'm gonna try to upload 1 Generation Trains railfanning video once a week (or every 2 weeks) and try to make some more TSW5 content.

Hey everyone! I'm looking forward to expanding my model train layout sometime this year. I plan on getting a third table, new buildings, and more locomotives. I'm also considering adding something new to the layout like freight trains, an airport, or maybe even making a new HO-Scale train layout. What do you think I should do if I decide to add one of these?

I created a custom Metra 40th Anniversary heritage unit. What are your thoughts?

Here is METX 86 in N-Scale.
The other day, I removed the black and white heritage paint on 73. After removing the paint, the original surfliner paint was all scratched up. So, I gave 73 a fresh new Metra surfliner look, and renumbered 73 to 86. I chose to renumber it to 86 since the irl METX 86 is in storage. 86 still needs a few fixes and add ons, but what do you think so far?
