It's amazing to see how far lionel has come. I had a lionel circa 2000. No Bluetooth, no train horn from the train, just the controller. Now there's so many options and abilities to run multiple engines on a track
Wow.
And almost 80 years old... I started off with American Flyer when living in Stratford Connecticut for most of my youth... when I see a great video like this one... I always think of only one thing... too bad after all that work and money spent... think of the 2 rail O-scale... you Coulda had... great stuff thanks for posting...
Beautiful models! Being an HO modeler, seeing these absolutely monstrous models is always mind blowing! I love the sound of the cattle in the car haha! Great running session! Keep it up, man! 👍🏻
Thanks my friend!
Your enthusiasm is inspiring! Wonderful layout. My compliments.
Thanks! Have a lot of fun running the trains
@@RBPTrains yeah and just just so you know I have pre and post-war trains and tracks
You do such a great job of filming!!! You have some really great shots & the scenery is amazing. I'm blown away by your creation. My grandfather was a big train nut & he passed his passion on to me. Trains and classic cars are in my blood. And your sound affects give me chills of excitement. Thanks for sharing
Those are some beautiful engines and I too love running the larger engines. I never get tired of looking at your videos and your layout.
Never get tired of seeing your great layouts either Stephen! Thank you my friend
I just love how genuinely enthusiastic and happy you are over the engines, it takes me back to receiving my first train set as a kid ~2001. Keep up the great content!☺️
MTH has some great locomotives! I had a double decker Lionel layout and had a lot of fun with it.
Ever since my lionel pollar express I always wanted a super long locomotive looks so cool. Wow the raw sound when that thing starts up and starts pulling each car the sound literally is spot on
I am a Japanese viewer.
In Japan, where 9mm gauge is the choice of many modelers, the realism and power of the trains you have will amaze many modelers.
wow thats a nice train-room...your energy towards trains is addictive! I would never leave that room, good to see people keeping the magic of model trains alive...btw you look like jim carrey...i dunno why..lol
Haha! I get the Jim Carey thing a lot. Thanks for watching and I do not leave the room often!
Not usually a fan of fantasy schemes, but your 49er Challenger is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your layout!
Thanks for watching!
@@RBPTrains The challenger locomotive that you have was it ordered that way? Or was it A custom paint job? Either way it’s a beautiful model!
Big & Beautiful Brotherman! They ain't nothin but right man, cool!! KEEP ON ROLLING BRO!!😀😀👍👍
This is a great collection of articulated locos, the 49er scheme looks great with a 3 tender Challenger
Fantastic video and train run, my friend! Along with the huge steamers, I enjoyed the close up shots of your layout scenery! And, while it may be a fantasy scheme, I dig that 49ers Challenger. 😉👍🚂
your enthusiasm is dang infectious. i found a twenty year old lionel JLC UP greyhound challenger last fall and it is magnificent. love those great big over the top locomotives
I love your enthusiasm! I’m 18 and I really hope to have a layout like yours some day.
It is amazing how much model trains have changed since I was a kid.
oddly relaxing and exciting at the same time.
I love the 49er paint scheme!!! Such a beautiful engine 👍🏻
I used to love those train catalogues! hours spent looking through them as a kid
I love your enthusiasm ....I started building a train set about 8 months....it just makes me smile..... :) Thank you for sharing
Great Loco's man!! Love the Big O gauge steam. I run HO scale, but love O gauge. Nice video, great layout.
These engines run smooth and quiet and are beautifully finished. Like stem to that mournful sounding whistle.
Amazing layout! I’ve been wanting to build another one for some time now. Definitely agree with you on the steam engines. Steam power is just amazing.
Those are some impressive machines! And some really great low angle shots of them running! Love the close ups at slow speed. Very cool👍
Thanks man! Digging your scenery updates
OH MAN, I wish I had a train room like you got. It’s so super cool dude. Love it. Big Shoutout from Australia by the way. Keep adding to it. I’ve been told that for serious train buffs like you, your layouts are never really finished, because things get changed, designs change, your ideas change etc.So that is true I guess. Just wonderful mate.👍👍👍👍🇦🇺😁
long comment
Thank you Greg! You are right, the layout is never done. 😁
@@RBPTrains youre always adding stuff to the layout?
Great video! Love the old steam locomotives! Big Boy and the Challenger are my favorites! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!
Thank you Vincent!
I think what I like most about these engines is the whistle. They sound so good. That Challenger paint scheme looks great- the black detail parts really stand out.
I agree...
Great layout and as someone who has been playing with 3-rail O guage for 70 years, loved watching your video. Most of all your enthusiasm was infectious.Thank you.
Thank you very much!
I wasn't expecting to get back into the hobby but your videos have done the trick! My Dad & I took great pride every Christmas setting up the trains...he passed away and I think I owe it to him to carry it on!! You are alot of fun...keep the videos coming!
The production of your videos is great! I love your energy and video format. Thanks for the awesome videos! Keep up the great work!
You have the finest 3=rail train layout I have ever seen. The scenery is beautiful. the backdrops are ultra realistic. The rolling stock is excellent. I only have two requests. You should have Ed Dickens in his typical position of leaning out the the window of the cab as he is in nearly all the videos. Have you tried weathering any of the rail sides. Shiny clean is nice but in my opinion, when smaller code rail isn't possible. Any way of diminishing rail height will make the locos and cars loom larger with rusty rail sides.
Thank you for the kind words Debbie! I will have to look into some custom figures for the engineer positions within the engines. Never thought of that. As far as weathering, I am not much of an artists and would likely ruin my collection if I attempt this myself. Perhaps I will be able to find someone who could assist there. Thanks again!
Love those big articulated engines. That challenger takes some getting used to. Very colorful. Great video. And always remember you only have to satisfy yourself.
Thank you David!
These trains are beautiful. They are like a dream. Thank you for sharing :-)
Have never seen a model engine like the Challenger! Best I've ever seen!
Great graphic set up and love the trains the realism and being a long haul driver yup awesome awesome train horns from each train
Great run session. We love your channel. Keep up the great work. P.S. we love the 49er paint scheme on the challenger! Run what you like, you owe nobody an explanation. It’s your miniature world, have fun with it. Happy Railroading! 🚂🚃🚋
Probably the best train video I have seen in a long time. Love to see the running of your trains. Most of other people’s videos, they do way too much talking. Not enough running of the trains. This helps to get the train bugs out of my system. Thank you.
Thank you! I do tend to ramble but try to balance my babbling with some run session footage. Thanks for watching!
You have done a great job with your layout and details. Fantastically good work. Thank you.
Thank you Timothy!
I love that union pacifc big boy!!! It looks so amazing! Love the layout
Your enthusiasm is contagious! My late partner was an avid fan of model trains. He introduced me to all of it!
At San Diego's Balboa Park, there is an enormous display and collection of trains and dioramas! But I'm sure you already knew that
I did not know about Balboa Park. Will need to check that out! Thank you for watching!
Awsome looking consists and engines- got me in the mood to run my JLC Allegheny ! Bravo
The JLC Allegheny is the engine that I dreamed of owning when I was a kid. Enjoy running it and thanks for watching!
Love the energy you have, it’s easy to run trains it’s hard to take the time and effort to explain in the manner you do. Always a pleasure and exciting to watch new videos from your channel. Now if I remember correctly only your outside rail is 072? Keep up the great work..
Thank you Michael! You are correct, my outside loop is O72. The yard switches are also O72. My inner main line is O60 so these larger engines can only run on the outer loop. Thanks again!
You had me with one look at your beautiful 3-rail(!) layout. Something about those sweeping curves and remarkable detail overall, too. btw, Props for great video, editing, etc. I wanted to slip into one of those coaches behind the Challenger, order a snack, and see where the ride would take me. (subscribed)
Really like your layout style. Looks easier to clean track. I have no room for those big trains since I live in Apt. Not even HO works that well but thank goodness for people like you that can play videos for us.
Very BEAUTIFUL steam locomotives Chris! I love the UNION PACIFIC BIG BOY! That is an AWESOME locomotive! That locomotive sounds so real with very COOL N & W hoppers! I like the steam coming out from the locomotive to, looks so lifelike! The yellow UNION PACIFIC with the passenger cars is COOL to! I like steam locomotives way more than I do modern locomotives! Very AWESOME Chris, and thanks for sharing!
The 49er schemed Challenger looks really good for a fantasy scheme.
Allegheny, simply my favorite articulate steam engine!!!
Wow that's so cool! 🚂🚂
Hi
@@nicksmodeltrains4074 hi 👋
Your thumbnail caught my eye
You have my attention
I will be watching you a lot now
Edit
Also I have a strong feeling your channel is about to grow increasingly faster from this video it’s already your most popular
Your enthusiasm is addictive!!!!!
Great steam action! Love the articulateds. I only have one and that's the Western Maryland. Thanks for running those big engines.
The WM articulated is on my wish list. Thanks for watching, these engines are always a lot of fun!
Lionel train how do you fix the wheels on the bottom
How do you fix the wheels on a line of train on the bottom
You have a great looking layout ! Nice to see people that just Love and have fun with this hobby .
Thanks Brent! It is a lot of fun
Love the big engines! I'm slowly accumulating all the steam engines I dreamed of owning when I was little. The addiction is real. Your layout looks awesome and your videos are extremely well done. 👍👍
Thank you! I love the big engines too 👍
Very cool man! Enjoyed every bit of it. Can’t wait to get my layout set up in the future. Got to get the budget right for it first though hehe.
Your trains and you are the best I have ever seen!
Beautiful layout. Thanks for sharing. I have a first issue MTH C&O Allegheny with Proto 1 sound. It pulls great, has a beautiful whistle, and is one of the most reliable locomotives on my railroad. I've never had any trouble with it in about 15 years of ownership. It pulls 22 coal cars effortlessly.
So much pulling power with these engines. Thanks for watching!
Love the creep of the engines my atlas and katos are real good at that it make them look so real I shut off all the lights for my Christmas display all you see is the village lights the street light and the lights from the passenger cars and the front light on my steamer 4-6-4 Hudson rock island line and 8 kato gondola passenger cars. I really don’t know why people don’t get in to this hobby it’s only expensive as you make it and for me it brings back memories when I had my first train set in 1970 at the age of 5 0-6-0 steam and 3 freight cars and caboose I still have it and it still runs like it was made yesterday I put it under the tree every year the wife is all for it during that time of year and the granddaughter can’t wait to watch it either I know it’s not much to look at but it still runs good and and nothing has happen to it yet
What a wonderful set up
I love these large steamers! You're fueling up my imagination too!
They are a lot of fun!
Fantastic. Nice to se someone that really love tis stuff.
very very nice! When my father inlaw was alive, he wanted a trainset so much. We built him one and included so much stuff into it. Of course, his wasnt nearly as elaborate as yours. He ran O27 cars around and around. Couldnt control the speed very well, but he enjoyed it. After he passed away we were able to sell off about half of what was there. The rest is in boxes in my garage. So sad to have it all sit there.
Sounds like he was able to enjoy it during his time here. Thank you for sharing
Hey Chris, wonderful video again. Love that UP 3949 setup, stunning. Of course, as you know, I love the 4041 so thanks again for that. You had me laughing out loud when you did the cow car. I have two pig cars and holy sugar, those pigs squeal so darn loud it’s downright annoying. LOL keep up the good work as always buddy. Catch you soon. Take care.
Tim
Thanks Tim! Those cattle cars crack me up. Never heard the pig cars so now I have something else to check out. Enjoy the weekend!
Excellent layout and beautiful engines my brother
What Fantastic loco.. love it. In my country not many people are really into it. But I love it. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Another nice video Chris, really enjoyed seeing the big steamers run
Thank you Michael!
I can’t remember if it was my great grandfather or my great great grandfather but one of them worked for Chesapeake and Ohio and drove that steam locomotive in this video! I love seeing it in a railroad museum
Nice man! Love the Steamers!!
Wow cool big steam locomotives I love your layout RBP Trains.
beautiful locomotives Chris, I especially love the Challenger with the 49er paint scheme. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Roger!
Nice looking Steam engines. Another great video my friend. 5 Star top notch
Thank you!
Love your layout..my 3 1/2 yr old grandson watch your videos ..as im just now rebuilding bigger and better i get great ideas from you
Thanks for watching and enjoy the build! I bet your grandson loves your layout
Awesome control, very nice.
WoW you have a biiiiiig railroad. Im a railfan, but i dont have railriad this big. Thats the reason why i watch ur videos. I love big steam trains🚈😀!
Great running session, I love that 3949 Challenger!
Chris u have the huge layout I love seeing the Lionel in action
What a treat, seeing those big engines navigating the landscape. I really have to get me a larger locomotive, but I will wait until I finish my layout. I have a 2-8-4 Southern Pacific and that’s my biggest engine, but I absolutely love it. I recently acquired it and it is a beautiful piece that adds a lot to my growing empire of trains...11...I only have 11 engines at the moment, but I am looking to grow more.. I collect MPC, older RTR and I acquired a post war engine earlier this year for a great price. I have a couple HO and a G scale Polar Express for the Christmas tree 🎄...I get overwhelmed by the prices of articulated engines due to the price, but one day...maybe lol
That whistle is Awesome have a good weekend brother
Have a great weekend as well! Love that whistle
Such a cool video here.
super job really great to watch it
I think you express the joys of running these trains in a way that maybe nobody else quite can show In their videos there are so many cool TH-cam video channels these days as well as you probably have seen many of them
it's amazing how graceful and powerful and beautiful the large articulated engines are also other steam engines and diesels as well. The cow car is awesome all the sound cars are just so neat in oskill railroading. Iran Is my JLC Allegheny with about 15 to 20PS to Chesapeake and the hill hoppers and he was so impressed with how cool looking the black coal hoppers go with the awesome looking Allegheny..
He doesn't have trains but he is seeing a few videos from the ones that I have and likes him a lot
That's what's so funny about these great trains people just don't know about them and when they see them oftentimes they think they're super cool... And many women ...who aren't known for being train lovers
but when they love these things they're just as big and passionate as anybody I've seen in the men's side of train loving For models and for 1 to 1 scale Prototypes.
As always it's the exposure that matters if you don't know about There's no way to love it lol..
One of the coolest looking engines
And there are just so many as you know well ..
... is the D L1 09 any paint liveries great Santa Fe war bonnet is super do you have any DL 109 s in your collection?
Absolutely awesome
wow, wonderful layout, very professionally done, thanks for sharing!
Thank you John!
Beautiful models! I love to have the Y6b, Triplex and Blue Comet for O Scale models if I ever I have the room for them. The layout looks great Chris!- Joey
Thanks Joey! Y6b is on my wish list

Yes I agree whistles steam engines and such like that are haunting very very much so I get goosebumps yes long live the steam engines.
Awesome!
Awesome video and collection! I've been in an Alleghany before at the B&O Railroad museum, its one giant loco.
It is huge! I have been there as well and my friends had to pry me out of the cab
Nice steam action! I like that Allegheny!
Allegheny is one of my favorites! The history of the C&O has always fascinated me.
Love the trains by the way
Fantastic!
