The San Benito Southern was started in Hollister, CA, almost 20 years ago. This father and son project provides a lot of inspiration to visitors during open houses, both for the public, and for other garden railroaders. It's one of our favorites, and if you watch this program, you'll see why.

In this episode of Talking Trains, we're joined by the current president of the Overfair Pacific Railroad. This is the continuation of what was once known as the Swanton Pacific, a 19 inch gauge railroad located northwest of Santa Cruz, that was almost completely consumed in CZU Lightning Complex wildfire in 2020.
Cal Poly seemed more than content to let the historic miniature railroad equipment be swept away into the ash pit of history, having no use for it - other than the very valuable land it once occupied. The rest of the story will be told by Molly, who is the president of the organization that will rebuild this railroad and its unique roster of equipment from the ground up in its new home at Santa Margarita Ranch in Santa Margarita, CA.

In this episode of N Scale Friday, we take a close look at this Dry-Flo Covered Hopper from Atlas. This model comes from the Master series comes in a variety of road names and road numbers.
From the Atlas website: The 3500 Cubic Foot Dry-Flo Covered Hopper was a commodity hauling backbone for over 40 years. In 1959, General American started producing Dry-Flo covered hoppers in response to customer demands for larger hoppers capable of handling bulk commodities. Covered hopper innovations during the 1950s proved valuable to shippers; they wanted covered hoppers that could handle larger quantities of specialized commodities such as oats and malt. These models were designed to match the prototype - down to the last detail!

On the weekend of March 16 and 17, the Hillcrest Tree Farm celebrated its 30th anniversary during their annual Reedley Railfest event. This event featured plenty of visiting equipment and personnel, as usual, and provided the general public with an ample opportunity for family friendly fun! hillcrestreedley.com
The grand opening of the Wahtoke division was also celebrated, opening a whole new run in the lower parking area, where some of the visiting operations set up shop to share their operations - the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad from Los Gatos, CA, was even there with a length of 18" gauge track to run their famous 2-Spot locomotive on all weekend long. bjwrr.org
Also visiting, the Overfair Pacific Railroad which has taken over all the previously presumed "lost" Swanton Pacific equipment in its new home at the Santa Margarita Ranch on California's Central Coast region. overfairpacific.com
Fun times were had by all!

In this program, we look at a recently released EMD GP40 model from Atlas. This model is from their "Master" series, and is equipped with sound and DCC. The paint treatment on the grab on the top of the short hood is so well done, it tricked me into thinking it was a freestanding wire detail part!
From the Atlas website: The GP-40 was produced by the Electro Motive Division in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the GP-40 was a 3000 horsepower locomotive best characterized by the three full size radiator fans on the rear of the roof.

On March 2, 2024, The Niles Canyon Railway celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Clover Valley 2-6-6-2T No/ 4. It was cold, it was rainy, but that never deters the public, whose love for this organization persists regardless of the weather!
During this historic event, we hear from some of the Pacific Locomotive Association steam department volunteers who keep this beloved steam engine running.
This Rivet Counter ES44AC is fully detailed and comes with ESU Version 5 DCC and sound from the factory. Not only is it loaded with tons of details, but it also has a lot of lights on it as well. To make matters even better, this model has exceptional running qualities.
From the ScaleTrains website: In 2002, GE introduced the “Evolution Series” of locomotives. Better known as “GEVOs” or ES44s, this series has become the best-selling line of diesel locomotives of all time with production nearing 8,000 units. Our Rivet Counter series model renders the numerous variations of cabs, dynamic brakes, doors, grilles, trucks, etc. We’ve also incorporated LED lighting effects including front, rear, and side walkway lights; ground lights; printed and lighted number boards; and ditch lights.

Athearn has been making excellent models in their Genesis line for a long time. This recently released HO Scale AC4400CW has great detail and sound.
From Athearn's website: Built between April and Nov of 1995, SP placed an order for 279 AC4400CW’s from General Electric. Not only was this SP’s first dive into AC technology but was their largest single locomotive order (and last) in history. GE set up a maintenance shop in Denver CO to support these units. They featured Harris Locotrol II equipment for use in DPU service; although they were used for dedicated power on Colorado coal trains, they could also be found roaming the system wherever they were needed

The NE-6 caboose from the Atlas Master line comes in several varieties, and the window spacing will differ based on the design you select. The end ladder detail is particularly finely rendered, and the separately applied grab detail on the rest of the model is all painted in accent colors that really stand out from the base red color.
From the Atlas website: This Atlas HO scale model is based upon a standard caboose design of the International Car Company of Kenton, Ohio that was used in the 1940s. It is typically associated with the New Haven Railroad but this body style was in fact used by other rail lines as well. The cabooses showed real longevity and were found in operation well into the diesel era.#trains #shorts #youtubeshorts #tsgdailycatch 040424TSG Multimedia2024-04-04 | #tsgmultimedia #shorts #youtubeshorts #DailyTrainCatch

This old VHS tape was part of a "club house" that was being dissolved at a retirement community. It said "Sierra" on it so I saved it from the dumpster. I'm glad I did because it contained footage of a railfan excursion that happened decades ago using equipment that hasn't run in a long time.
I hope you enjoy it!

In this product spotlight, we take a look at two recently released versions of Bachmann's HO Scale PS-2 two bay covered hopper models. They have great paint and some good detail! Take a look!
From Bachmann's website: Before the development of the Pullman Standard PS-2, it was common practice to transport granular materials such as feed, cement, and sand in bags stacked inside boxcars. This meant that valuable space was lost, and while the bags could easily be unloaded for smaller customers, the process would be cumbersome for customers requiring bulk deliveries. Pullman Standard changed all this in the late 1940s by providing a car that could be top-loaded, filled to its maximum capacity, and emptied from underneath, effectively revolutionizing bulk transportation. Bachmann’s newest two-bay design is based on later examples of this car seen from the 1970s through to the present day, which primarily hauled cement and sand for both revenue customers and in maintenance service.

The Yosemite Valley Railroad closed in the 1940s, before color photography was accessible to many. Finding good black and white photos of this lesser-known California short line is fairly difficult, so to dream of seeing color images of the YV was practically pointless... Until now.
This extraordinary presentation contains rare color photos, originally taken by noted rail photographer Al Rose, and is narrated by Historian and Author, Jack Burgess.

This standard cupola caboose comes from the Master series by Atlas, and it has a lot of free-standing details that really separate it from lower end models.
From the Atlas website: Based on prototypes that were built during the 1960s, these cabooses were popular on railroads from coast-coast.
With the advancement of the End-of-Train device, cabooses slowly began to fall out of favor. However, in the early 2000’s, “shoving platforms” began to appear as a place to safely house a crew when a reverse move was required. Instead of riding on the side of a freight car, the crew member now has a safe place to stand, while guiding the rear of a reverse move. Atlas’ shoving platform cabooses will feature blanked out windows (Where appropriate).

This month's episode of Talking Trains, co-hosted by our friend Rich Murf Murphy, features Mike Osborne, who's been working for the railroad for over four decades. Mike's career started in the late 1970s with Southern Pacific.
You can learn more about Mike's job as a brakeman on the SP's LABRF job that went from the LA area to Bakersfield over Tehachapi at night by watching this video we recorded for the "Rails by The Bay 2021" virtual national NMRA convention: youtu.be/G6ISFTrDvqU?si=kSvga6qGTpVdCfWE

Welcome to Silicon Valley Lines. We visited their open house in November of 2023 to document more about who they are and what they do. SVL's story is worth repeating. In stark contrast to some who like to talk about being nice and inclusive, SVL actually puts these ideals into meaningful action.
Not only do they have open house events where just about anyone is allowed to run a train, but they also have a membership category for remote members. That's right, remote membership for people who don't even live in the area! How does that work?
It works because SVL has gone through a lot of trouble to create a way for remote members to operate on the layout from anywhere in the world. The remote members have often never even been to the layout in person.
That's building a bigger tent and including anyone who wants to participate. Great job, Silicon Valley Lines!

Another astoundingly detailed release from Class One Model Works has arrived. This time, it's in the form of 86 foot boxcars with the kind of detail we're coming to expect from Class One.
In this spotlight, we're lucky enough to look at three of these models, including both the four and eight door versions.
From the Class One Model Works website: Between 1963 (when Thrall constructed the first two prototype cars) through 1978 (when Greenville supplied the last 86-foot, 6-inch hi-cube auto parts cars), the fleet of these freight cars swelled to 11,073. Of the commercial car builders, Thrall Car Manufacturing assembled 3,544 cars, placing them in the middle of the pack (production number-wise) between Greenville and Pullman-Standard. Thrall supplied cars from 1964 through 1973.
