You have done a very nice job on the Bart train. That CMRS layout is incredible, I’m blown away by the rock work I saw.

I had this train (If its the same model) from Walthers back in the Seventies when I was a kid. It was in kit form and was a very detailed model with a all metal body and chassis with only the ends, interior,and windows being plastic!!

I think you had the ATHEARN model. This one is Walthers. I can say both were good, but Walthers seemed easier for me to work with. Thanks for viewing.

thank you for this video! i don't know anything about model cars, but i do live in the bay area and i have become fascinated by the bart and public transport here. i've been looking up bart merchandise, and they're apparently partnering with rapido trains to make HO models for bart's 50th anniversary. the price tag is a bit hefty for a hobby that i don't partake in... but the trains are very beautiful. also looking ar usttc train sets, i hope to see some on sale soon. model trains are lovely.

i just found this on an old site.... I have just started model railroading with my son after putting it aside for 30 some years since I was 10. I googled USTTC because my uncle owned it and I was curious. This link showed up and I thought I would fill you in. My uncle was Tom Stephenson and he was an Industrial Designer that had USTTC on the side for fun. He did tin plate O scale trains and prints for buildings and such. He did do a few HO scale cars and whatnot, but O scale was the main. He passed away in 1989 and the company did as well.

Welcome back to the hobby, sorry to hear the news about your uncle's passing. I'm not too familiar with USTTC, but I did have a chance to google it and it looks as though they model BART TRAINS in O-Scale. This video is an HO Scale Bart Train from Walthers. I have yet to see any O-Scale models on youtube, but if you have this set, I hope you do share with us what you are doing with it. Thanks for viewing.

I'm currently working on making more realistic looking Walthers BART cars by lowering the car height down to a scale model level, and getting rid of the skirt cutouts. I should be able to make all the parts available by mid 2017.
