8:01- “Let’s pull out one or two coaches...”
*pulls out 56 coaches*
haha!! ;D
Something James would do
Typicly all of the coaches he has
What about 598676,089,889,4350,78,904 and 1 coaches
Corrupted - Racing i agree he’s my favorite character in thomas the tank engine
PETE is short for:
P - Powerful
E - Electric
T - Train
E - Engine
haha absolutely!!!! xD
That's my middle name
What do you think 💭 speedy stands for?
Slow
Pete
Electric
Engine
Dude holy crap that’s strong
You have been amazed at his strength
Hey peter
I like how this channel is slowly becoming an empirical physics channel.
haha I hope not!! ;D
“I think the results might shock you.”
Well, looks like BuzzFeed’s hired Sam.
haha yeah! That was half sarcastic though... when they say it, they're trying to be serious ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Emphasis on “trying.” Though I just don’t think you’re coming off as serious if one of your quizzes is “Tell us what you order at McDonald’s, and we’ll guess how big your breasts are.”
I’m not kidding, that’s actually one of their quizzes.
I see you everywhere

This is fascinating stuff. If you can just make the chassis a little bit narrower, you could probably get someone to 3D print a body for it, and you could add a new mountainside railway to your attic, akin to culdee fell or Snowdon.
Yeah that's true actually - I'd love to see this with a proper body!
Cheers,
Sam :)
@@SamsTrainsSam you could totally 3d print that now you have printers!
i dont really have something with trains but im hella jealous of your room
Ahh that's okay Simon - glad you liked the room, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I want a model train layout. Don't have the space, time or money.
Torpedo try n scale and buy a lot or 2 on eBay not every layout has expensive buildings and detailed grass and things like that, if you just make a layout that goes from room to room in a circle than that can look amazing and it will look nice and the track can fit under a closed door so yea if you want to use that advice you can
Ikr same
@@torpedo996 Firstly, you have to find a way to save up your money to afford it. Second, if you really don't have space, you can get T gauge which is the smallest model railway scale available. You have to be REALLY careful though because of the size, they can easily get lost and leave you searching for hours or even days to find it. The scale is 1:450 and the track gauge is 3mm so that should suit your needs. If you have shelves, use them to your advantage. If it's wide enough, you can probably fit a TT gauge (tabletop gauge) or if you're lucky, you can fit a simple HO/OO layout. If you have a backyard, use that to your advantage and get G scale (Garden scale)
Today on Sam's Trains: Sam builds his own variant of a Cog/Rack engine and tests the pants off of it!
In all seriousness great vid! Cool concept and I look forward to the (eventual) version 2!
Cheers,
The Duke of Rawsome
haha absolutely - except this needs no rack!! :D
Thanks very much mate - glad you liked the concept!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Er, the sleepers are the rack. The only reason Pete didn't climb 45° is that the pins on the chain did not properly engage the sleepers. If they did, then clearly, the 45° incline would not have been an issue.
Great concept. Would have been more relevant with wheels something like the Zugspitzbahn or the narrow gauge that runs from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen in Switzerland. Fleischmann makes a gear rack that fits in between HO rails (art # 6412, retails at € 5.90). They also make a 2-6-0T locomotive (Art. # 4034 ) that will use the rack. (Do not have current price and availability on the locomotive.)
You should shorten the chain so the chain was tight.
Yes that would have been a help, you're right!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Don't make it tight, too much friction. But it can do with two links less.
@@taunteratwill1787 that or some guides and a light tensioner
Maybe you can do that if you rebuild S.P.E.E.D.Y.-P.E.T.E..
Sam is the Mythbuster of the model train community
haha!! I'd love to bust some model railway myths actually! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
No, the *james may*
"lets grab 2 or 3 coaches."
* processeds to grab every coach in his collection *
haha!! That's the way it goes! ;D
Nice one Sam, Rack traction is very hard to pull off in guages less than 0 guage. Give yerself a slap on the back
Jon
haha thanks a lot Jon - it was certainly quite a challenge, but fantastic fun!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

I love the wacky projects
Good video sam
haha cheers mate, glad you liked that!! :D

No bullmans were harmed in the making of this video, Sams neck looking majestic
haha! If only that were true! Oh stop it, weirdo!! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I absolutely love how you got all this set out on the floor. The way we all remember Christmas morning looked like
haha thanks very much mate - glad you like that! :D
Based on the Rack & pinion systems seen on some of the World's steepest gradients Sam. Congratulations on achieving such an immensely powerful 00 Gauge loco..Full marks to your ingenuity on this one.
Haha thanks a lot Bob, glad you liked the bit of fun! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This has to be one of the funniest videos you have ever made Sam! Even Gordon's Hill, the Evening Star loco and a 45 degree plank had to succumb to Speedy Pete! Poor Bullman too! Keep going Sam!
Thanks so much Pete, really glad you liked this one mate! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam, at this point you are building your own steam team. Let's have a video where you make a layout for your experimental team, for instance, there could be a really long siding for the endurance engine, an underwater section for the southern engine that you put in water, a steep hill for speedy pete, and banked curves for the propeller engine, adding another feature for every experiment video.
haha that's a cool idea Jake - I'd love to have a bonkers layout for the bonkers engines!!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is pretty awesome. Be cool if Pete had a shell or some kind of aesthetic.
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah it would be cool - I might look into making one for him! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
First the dual-fanned monster, now this?! Sam, you’re an absolute madlad.
haha!! I can't help but enjoy the bonkers experiments! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
For a second I thought you were gonna do an upgraded version of Gordon's hill but its just a steep climb for your experiment for how strong Speedy Pete is pulling Bullman around. I loved the name Speedy Pete BTW Lol. XD
haha yeah - but I needed something much steeper! Glad you liked that name, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Move the motor up front to tip the balance in its favor and you'll pull even steeper hills. What's happening now is the torque is exceeding the weight of the nose. Moving the center of gravity forward will improve traction and ability to pull up hills like that. Also, adding more nose weight will do, which is why I suggest moving the motor up front. Also, take some of that chain slack out.
Interesting build.
Good idea Pete - it was front heavy already though, I added all those extra weights! I might try that though! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
0:16 Cow be like "Sam that's a lot of coaches you got there!" MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
haha yep - Bullman certainly wasn't expecting to go on much of a journey this time ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam: the strongest most powerful and most grippy locomotive ever.
Turns: hold my beer
haha!! ;D
57th coach:Hold mine too
Yes SAM, what an amazing video. You are so good at presenting model railways, that you should be on TV to mesmerise the people of this world. You are a true engineer and inventor, and a true HERO of model railways. I SALUTE YOU. Keep them coming, please.
Thanks so much George - that's very kind of you mate - I don't know about that, but it's certainly a lot of fun! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
you need to make these experements into a series
haha they sort of are really - I will keep doing them once in a while!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Before watching, how many bottles of liquid gravity did you use?
haha none! The loco is no heavier than other models of it's size! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I was kinda ment to be a joke hahahaha
I copied him, and I used them gravity blocks that you rub on all the surfaces.!
And... I used 3.🤪
Look up cog railroad. They can go up some pretty steep angles. There's one at Pike's Peak in Colorado. That's basically what you've built but they have a third cog rail which meshes with a drive gear on the locomotive.
I have seen some of those - very cool stuff! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Whoa that’s SUPER strong!! Perhaps give the engine a body and make a mountain railway!
haha thanks mate! Yeah that would be epic actually - good idea!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, that is a very clever thought aswell as the concept itself. 👍
Thanks a lot mate - really glad you liked the idea!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
10:03 absolutely amazing and mindblowing when you recognize what actually happens at this moment in the entire room.
haha!! ;D
A idea for a train build, make a fully solar powered train. Might need a cheap DMU of some sort possibly the budget Hitachi high speed train hornby made which was in the blue rapier set.
Hey Ben! I've already made that video... it's coming soon! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm surprised you haven't use the newton metres on the coaches to see how much you can pull before it move.
Yeah that would have been good - in reality, they didn't need much at all - less than 3 newtons would do it!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Guinness world records: I’ll have to see it to believe it I’ll be contacting you soon
haha!! ;D
It would be worth trying with some of the old triang locomotives. They weigh a bit and some are also fitted with magnetic tyres! Be interesting to compare against their modern counterparts.
Yeah that's very true - some of those are pretty mighty too - though I'll need to find some steel track!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You’ve made one of those Swiss leaning cow train that go up the alps. That’s great
haha awesome! I'll have to take it to Switzerland and try it ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Part of the problem is it needs to take up the slack in the chain with a tensioner (like in the timing chains in an internal combustion engine) and a chain guide. The second problem is the little pins aren’t wide enough, and there’s not enough of them. Finally, ditch the chain and 3D print a sprocket for the motor whose teeth will fit in the gaps between the sleepers (ties.) You’ll have to find a machinist’s handbook to get the equations for making a sprocket/gear, but this will be a much better solution than a train that doubles as a chainsaw. 😂 Just make sure to make the width of the sprocket teeth just slightly narrower than the gap between the rails by - say - 1 millimeter or so on each side. Now you’ll have a right-and-proper cog railway… once you fit some bogies with power pickup!
Love your wacky hot glued together experiments, just imagine how well they'd perform if you spent more time on their construction :)
Very entertaining as usual Sam - great work!
haha thanks Gerry - I must say I enjoy the bodge projects!
Appreciate it mate,
Sam :)
6 newtons is around 0,6 kg of weight you could pull vertically (including the loco weight) and you could measure how much drag your couches procuce by pulling on them with that newton force scale by hand untill the last one moves
i am interested in how much force it actually takes to pull all of those on video
Yes you could indeed - I didn't think to try that actually, but it would be interesting indeed! The Vi-trains 37 could move them too - so we know it's less than 3N, or whatever it was!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
"Scared something will poke me in the eye" THEN WEAR SAFETY GLASSES 😭
haha! ;D
ALWAYS Worth a Revisit/Re View ! TANKS ! The MOTORS STALL TORQUE Rating IS THE NUMBER, ASSUMING GREAT TRACTION !
sam, you are an absolute mad lad!!! something could have gone wrong! train could have exploded but thats absolutley crazy!!! amazing homemade "locomotive"!!!
haha thanks very much mate - you know me, living dangerously ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Haha nice loco Sam you might consider producing them commercially, build up a franchise whahahah! ;-) Cheers, Joachim
haha! Yeah I'm sure everyone would love to own one of these, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Someone should make a cog railway steam engine.
I know! That would be awesome! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Ferrotrains makes them in multiple scales
LGB used to make one in G-Scale
I absolutely love these experiments !
Make something even more extreme and you got all all of my attention.
Love this stuff !!
haha thanks a lot Andrew - I'll see what else I can come up with! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
IMPRESSIVE Fabrication with Speedy Pete ! ... Sam youz the BUILDIN' Master !
When Pete fell, you sounded like a sheep! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
haha!! It made me jump, lol! I guess I turn into a sheep when frightened?!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What duration time??
If you were to ever reapproach this experiment, I think something worth trying to solve the issue of how finicky the pickups are for power would be to put the pickups on the inside of the track (so between the rails), another option would be to use a set of wheels with pickups from a preexisting model and attach them to Pete, but that also creates a problem of how would the chain work if its being obstructed by wheel.
Nevertheless, a very interesting experiment!
Yeah this is very true - though it works much better without the insane load - it only starts to cut out with all the coaches and an incline! I had thought about it though - I may just wire a wagon onto the back of it, and let that do some picking up too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Was it the Airfix 31 or the Mainline 56 set a record years back , traction tyres though. Also track on carpet , disclaimer about furring up locos , as a student I used to fix so many friends trains that were furred up. Surprised over the Heljan comment. Yes the Clayton's were a disaster but with over 150 Heljan locos I have found then robust and reliable , unlike Vitrains!
I have videos of the legend that is an Airfix 31 pulling and incredible length of wagons on my channel. Also the Airfix Royal scots (6 wheel traction tyres tender drive) have a huge haulage capacity. I have also done tests with these
Thanks Paul - yes the Airfix 31s and Mainline 56s are pretty strong things! No issues whatsoever running on carpet, as long as proper cleaning and maintenance takes place - my 400 odd engines are all in perfect working order!
I must have been very unlucky with my Heljan engines then - I find almost all of them to be of dreadfully poor quality and design - most being pretty unserviceable too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains In preparation for an exhibition were my stock will run the club layout I recently had to review my stock. It now appears my total collection , OO and some HO is just over 1500 locos. 90% are super detail DCC stock and by far the worst are Hornby. I haven't had expanding chassis in either Hornby , Bachmann or Heljan but with Hornby I have had broken cardigan shafts , broken wiring , mis fitting contact strips and my big bugbear on Hornby 60s the swinging close coupling that needs to be so well lubricated so it doesn't through even heavy freight stock off when reversing into a siding. Make you appreciate the days when once you had detailed a Lime diesel and added extra pick ups it would easily run for a year without needing attention.
Ohhhh this got be the cool thing ever
That Gives me an idea what if you fast strong train It can take like50 coaches faster than an average train pulling nothing
That wouldn't work. All the weight would make the coaches tip on the corners and derail. Thats why he wasn't sure about if pulling the coaches with Pete would work.
Cool_guy_1 just an idea
Yeah it would be awesome - but that number of coaches has to go REALLY slow, or you get major derailments very quickly!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Speedy Pete needed more weight on the nose when climbing an incline
Yeah he did tip back, but it was fairly well balanced with those weights, it's just the chain made it very top-heavy!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If it can win a tug a war vs a tractor or a real train, then thats what you call HORSE POWER
(Im American so I don't know if thats what they say in the UK)
Also can I just say 13:00 is a bit insane
haha absolutely!! ;D
Yes, I was amazed by the angle it managed, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Actually, it's not HP it's torque. You can use a clock motor to pull a tractor trailer (real size) if you have low enough gearing. But it will take forever to move a foot. That's why Speedy Pete is so slow. High motor RPM to low output shaft ratio increases torque but reduces speed. Same is going on in your automotive transmission. First gear the motor spins a lot but the wheels don't spin fast. Lots of acceleration and pulling power but low speed. Second gear comes in at a lower gear ratio. You get more speed less torque. Third gear (or 1 to 1) is your highway gear (talking three speed transmissions) where the engine is turning the driveshaft at a 1 to 1 ratio. The only gear reduction after that point is the rear end ring and pinion gears. Typically 3.75 to 1 and 4.1 to 1.
This reminds me of when my dad used to go spotting at Nottingham in the 80s. He would see a class 56 with about 40 HAAs it would set off, the front of the train would be doing around 2mph and the back would still be stationary! It let off such a bang when they all finally started moving.
Great video Sam!
haha that's crazy - must have been quite impressive to see something as mighty as that!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love all these reviews ❤ and fun tests! Always have fun outthere mike
Thanks Michael, really glad you do! :D

SAM YOU LEGEND
But on a more serious note, who would win in a fight..
Thomas the tank engine or 1401 from Titfield Thunderbolt?
Why not the Thunderbolt herself?
@@badgerlordpatrick6493 She's as good as she ever was, I'll stake my living on it!
Ooh I'm not too sure... I reckon Thomas would have it, he has a bit more grunt! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video sam! I think you should try to get a loco to run upside down as in flip the track and loco over :D
haha that'd be awesome - I'd love to try that!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Please keep making theese types of videos they are so fun!
haha thank you! Glad you find them fun - I love making them too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm *inclined* to believe speedy pete is the *peak* of performance
So the title says: I built the world strongest model train!
Sam: “So this actually isn’t a model
Me: I have been ripped off
Hahahahahha
haha!! It's all a bit tongue in cheek... as you can tell! ;D
You know, you should try and add to your layout some sort of hill. Something a bit close to Gordon's hill!!
Yeah that would have been brilliant - I may try one on future layouts! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Kind of reminds me off the cog and rack style locos, but since it doesn’t use the rails for traction and uses its “chain/track” would it be considered a more of a tank ?
Yeah definitely! It was sort of inspired by those! :D
I guess it is more of a tank... a big useless tank, lol!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love the crazy stuff you do on your channel
You have done a chain train, now how about a upside down train. You will need a length of steel track mounted upside down, a loco and coaches with steel wheels with strong magnets between the wheels in the fashion of triangs magnadesion, has this been tried before? If it hasn't I'll be looking forward to your video.
haha yes that would be the real challenge - I'd love to try that! Super-magnadesion would probably be a good way to go, you're right! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Cheater,
Speedy Pete is clearly getting help from bullman
Oh yeah of course... couldn't have done it without the power of the beef!

I couldn't agree more
Now make a nuclear powered flying bomber train.
Be careful what you wish for!
Any suggestions on where to get G-scale stainless steel tracks? Seem to hard to find anywhere. Like they stopped making them & it just seems they are just in circulation now.. if so where can I find it in *bulk* preferably..
I'm not absolutely sure mate - I've never bought any of that before :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The voice doesn't match the face and why is this in my recommendations
haha! Thanks for stopping in I guess ;D
I suppose that this officially means that the layout now is too small. I'd recommend expanding outdoors 😉
haha I know.... I desperately need more space now! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Crazy idea Sam lot's of coaches and I love your layout
haha thanks a lot Matt, that's very kind of you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This was amazing Sam! :D
haha thanks a lot Kameron! :D
hello Sam i was doing my homework and watching this at the same time but i was so amazed at how many coaches Speedy Pete could pull that i completely forgot about it.
haha ooops!! Don't tell your teacher it was my fault!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Brilliant! I love the mad concepts you come up with - I’m no way near smart enough to make something better, all I could think of is some minor modifications to improve the efficiency of it.
-really hope to see more quirky locos in the near future
haha thanks very much Harry! I'm sure you would mate - I'm not that smart either, lol! I'll definitely see what sort of other engines I can come up with! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wow, i always wanted to have that much trains! Congrats about your collection!
Thanks so much Seb, glad you like the collection! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
"We'll get 1 or 2 coaches."
Procceeds to fill his entire layout with 56 coaches
This is definitely a fascinating video, Sam!
I'd wager a few quid that my Broadway Limited Imports HO Scale Big Boy would be a great contender for a pulling contest.
For some quick context, the engine has four traction tires, and weighs in at a little over 2 pounds without his tender!
Given all the bells and whistles he has (die-cast parts, smoke, lights, DCC, Sound), I'm surprised that I haven't tried to see his limits (probably because he's just a giant locomotive that barely fits on my workbench and I don't even have space for anything else when he's on one track).
The other part to it is realism when it comes to strength. I am one of the modellers that would rather see a relatively realistic rake of rolling stock (depending on the engine) behind the bunker and/or tender while the engine is at speed or marshalling about the yard.
A great video nonetheless!
Thanks a lot Hank - it would be great to try a big boy against this!! Ooh if it has tyres, then Pete might be in trouble! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam many thanks for the ideas Spedy Peter is divine and with a few minor changes and tunings you get him to climb a wall, continue to develop your imagination and build some more prototypes a hug
haha thanks Gabriel - glad you found him divine, lol! I like the idea of developing him to climb 90 degrees, that'd be awesome! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

That engine looks like a combination of a drag racer and a WW1 tank with tracks the same size as the tank itself. Speed is closer to those tanks, though.

I used a San Francisco cable car Bachmann and mounted a neodymium 20 mm x 15 mm x 5 mm, placed it onto the an ho track with a metal ruler under the ties . It climbed easily up to 25 degrees but then started to slip, perhaps another magnet would improve the attraction and would increase the angle but I only need max 15 degrees.
That sounds fantastic - 25 degrees is pretty impressive!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Excellent video Sam! RIP Speedy Pete!

There are trains build for climbing steep hills, even under steam power, you find them in places like Switzerland, Austria etc.
The Germans call them "zahnradbahn", which means something like cogwheel trains.
Here are working models made of this system, available in HO witch has the same track width as OO.
They can pull up even steeper angels, but it's a fun trail…
The strongest commercialised locomotives in HO might be the HOm ( HO for 1:87 and m for 1 meter gauge ) rack locomotives ( if you use the rack system ). I have a section of rack railway on my layout and it’s very impressive to see a long rack of coach going uphill with only one locomotive on a slope that normal locomotives in HO wouldn’t be able to manage
Thanks very much for this - I'll be sure to look that up! I wonder how much force they can withstand before the gears slip or break??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains You have to add some more weight to the original model to pull heavy trains ( look at the FO HGe 4/4 37 on my channel to see one working hard going uphill) ;-)
