Magnificent. The layout amazing, the filmography, scoring and sound EX superb.
You'v captured the passion and romance of 3-rail lovers like nothing I've ever
seen. ==THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT== Bravo!!!
Wow - THANK YOU SO MUCH for the wonderful compliments! Totally makes the effort worthwhile! :)
Are you a producer or film maker, and is this extraordinary creation yours? I'd love to see a track plan diagram if available. I'm a Woodstock generation multi-media guy who's grampa assembled a gigantic Lionel layout in my mom's basement, and was always blowing out tunnels in walls, sending it into various parts of the storeroom until finally she threatened; "Daddy, you've taken all my storage, now we're going to have to move" --- A few years later, this unfortunately came true, but for other reasons, and the whole 800 square feet of multi level tables were left behind. Grampa kept most of the rolling stock---and by the late 1970s his old age hit, and fortunately the collector$ market had boomed---it all ended fine. Such is life, but I have forever missed those trains in the basement. TH-cam and folks like you brighten by daze. Nice "meeting" you.
@@johngoldstein2754 - HI, thanks for the awesome praise and comment! I regret not giving you a proper response before... I somehow did not see your whole comment on my phone at the time. That's a great and relatable story you shared and I am glad, at least, it ended well. :) Nice to "meet" you too.
Things have changed a lot for me since this video went up. I "was" a producer/filmmaker, but have left the business (so to speak). Maybe one day in the future I'll go at it again, but I have no interest in it all at this time. This set up does not belong to me, but to a relative. I can email you a track plan if you're still interested. Contact me at: daniel.d.carbone@gmail.com
Fast trains of all makes & models! Nice music & video..🚂🚆🚅🚇🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
Thank you for the kind comment!
Amazing video! Takes me back to when I was 6 watching TM's "I Love Toy Trains". It was that show and Tom McComas' other videos that got me hooked on toy trains. Now nearly 20 years later I have been collecting various Lionel, MTH, Marx, Flyer and K-line trains like crazy. I really want to make videos like this and TM's of my toy trains.
Thanks for the kind words! I've never seen or heard of any of those videos, but I am glad ours evoked some fond nostalgia for you. Grab a camera, put some trains on the track, and start filming. You can do it!
@@ddotcdot6892 Thank you for the motivation. Once I get my basement done, I'm going full speed ahead with the layout rebuild. Once that's done, lights, camera, and train action. I'm wanting to make a 30-45 minute production called, "The Amazing World of Toy Trains" with a target audience for children, families, and train fanatics. I'd like to unveil the finished product at film festivals for children and family films. I hope it can jumpstart my dream career to become a filmmaker.
THANK YOU FOR NOT RUNNING THEM AT A CREEP I love how all the trains are going fast or full speed and the crash at the end was perfect
YOU'RE WELCOME :) and Thank you !!
That was an awesome video! I am Americas Number One Train Fan!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Great video!
Thank you!
Agreed

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of the fans!!! We appreciate all of the love and support for this video. Happy Holidays!
I have the world's greatest hobby :)
Indeed we do!
Model Railroading is what Railfanners like me do in spare time.
Ditto :-)
"ALL OF THIS CAN BE YOURS"
Me: Yes, if only I had the money
LOL
There's never a bettef hobby than Model Railroading these videos ROCK! Smokers or not Model railroading rules my wife and I and will never stop doing.
Thank you!! Agreed :-D love model trains!
Nice and interesting video. US train are really fascinating. Bye. Marco from Italy.
Marco, graci! Your comment is very kind and I appreciate it. Please share the video with all of your friends.
So this isn't a documentary? Also nice clickbait thumbnail
lol
And this video is a shining beacon of an example as to why I am a proud member and supporter of this hobby.
Thank you for saying so!
Great video. The music and videography reminds me of an old MTH product VHS from the late 90's that I used to watch over and over as a kid. Even though I havent seen it in almost 20 years this video caused me to immediately remember it and brought me back to when I was a kid. I think I'll go run my trains now. Thanks for the memories and the nostalgia.
Very possible the same, if not similar stock music might have been used...It is of that time and considering the likely-tight pool of available stock music that would have been around back then, pre-internet, this would make sense, though I cannot say I remember or have seen the product video you are referring to and haven't used VHS in quite a number of years. Going back 20-some years, I did watch many train videos as a kid - but not many of them stuck with me. I do remember first discovering this piece in the There Goes A Train and There goes a Police Car, etc. video series by Dave Hood from the early-mid 90s and it stayed with me for years, I just had no idea who made the track, but it always made me think of trains and vehicular motion. It took a very very long time for me to track down who made the music and where you could find it. TH-cam's match system actually helped confirm. It's a stock track from a company called GMP music. Anyone can purchase it on their website. As for the videography, we spent months trying to find the most effective way to shoot this particular model railroad in the tight space that it exists in and eventually settled on a mix of techniques to really showcase this layout in its entirety, despite the lack of room. Glad it managed to bring back some fond memories for you and thanks for the kind words!
I heard the music and immediately knew what it was from!! When I was little my grandfather bought me the same MTH VHS tape that you are talking about Mike! It made me smile when I heard it and it made it even better when I heard all the PS1 sounds, this is a fantastic video!!
@Landon Eshbach @Ddot Cdot Found it, and yep, same tunes! :) th-cam.com/video/WpQCEwq5128/w-d-xo.html
The music perfectly fits model trains. I don't get how people don't like trains.
A G R E E D !!! :-)
The power of Model railroading rules big time.
:-)
I really like trains
:-) Me too!
the editing in this video was epic. along with the song choice :D
Thank you :-)
Good video 2018 Christmas I'm getting the o gauge daylight
I like that plan!
Thanks!
Great video! I especially felt drawn in when the movement of the wheels matched the downbeat in the music. Loved it! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for the very kind message. Really glad you enjoyed this!
This is the best train video I have seen. I love trains, but if I were to buy the layout, it would probably be somewhere way above five figures and I'd need a much bigger apartment.
Hello, and thank you so much for your kind words. Contact me on Facebook or by the email in the video - I'd like to respond to your comment on the layout personally...
If you have small space then you can start to make model train layouts in N or Z scale. Check out the model train variety of Kato for N scale models.
The Internet is just finding out about this? ;-)
Better later than never : )
Trains are the best thing I ever came across! I love them so much
Agreed!
Thank you!
I like the steam engines 🚂 best
Badass video. You made trains look cool
Thanks! : )
awesome!..thank you for sharing..it must be nice to have money
Thanks..........I wouldn't know...
Super Awesome Video! Very Exciting! This is a "Must Watch, and Enjoy...Over and Over again! I have a whole new appreciation for the beauty and fun of Model Trains. This video shows magnificent trains, and many examples of fun layouts. What a Great Hobby!
Thank you for such a wonderful comment! Glad you enjoyed it Mom ❤
Well THAT was FUN!!
Thanks! I'm Glad!
If i had to scale 1 to 10 on my like scale, it would be like OVER 9000!!!
Also the music is sorta like van halen. Nice vid.
Thank you for the very kind words. Glad you enjoyed this!
SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE. Everywhere you look, there is smoke. LOVED IT !! What a FANTASTIC video !! I don't think I've ever seen a video about toy trains that got me this excited. This is EXACTLY what kids need to see to get them interested in our hobby. PLEASE make more videos like this one !! THANK YOU !!
Wow, thank you for such a great comment! Really glad you loved it. Please share and spread the video link around. Let's get the view count going again! I have promised behind the scenes once it hits 200k. If I can get funding I'll do a sequel :-)
Great video, I love all the close-up shots! I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't mention that the music... um.... sounds like great instrumental music from 1985. If retro is what you were going for, fine - but if not, I'd go back to PremiumBeat and see if there isn't something a bit more current sounding. The energy is good, but it does sound dated.
Thank you for your comment and praise. All I will say is - the right tone and the right marriage between picture, sound, and music far exceed any concern over time period as far as I am concerned. I didn't just want to use another stock track that would enable the viewer to passively gaze at the photography and then forget it all when they clicked on the next TH-cam video about kittens, or whathaveyou, which just so happened to use the same premiumbeat track from last year as this. This needed something that worked alongside it, stays in your mind after, and takes you back in time - just like trains do. Those of us who model or used to model railroad know how exciting it all is, but there are many people of today's generation who could love trains, and just unfortunately don't know about them and haven't had the right exposure. There isn't a single piece of music made today that would make me feel the nostalgic excitement of trains in motion... Unless, we're talking country, but I didn't want country. That's why I went with Gene Ort's genius instrumentation.
Totally understand your reasoning. Good luck with your client and the sale! Looks like a fun hobby. My hobby is synthesizers/music, so I already have a money-hole to throw into... haha! ;)
Thank you! It can be a great deal of fun (and a money-hole if you like new stuff lol) whether you're into the trains or miniature model building and artwork, or electrical. It's a tinkerers paradise.
Yours is a cool hobby too. What would you say if I told you I have been wanting to get a Roland D-50 for the longest time? Would you sway me from it in favor of something else? Always wanted to have a good all around synthesizer with some vintage and modern sounds, and piano, just to be able to jot music ideas down - without pencil and paper (I can't read or write music, but I I follow my ear and I do like to play a bit of piano.)
Ahh, great! Another synth fan! I would say that although a D-50 can still be found, I would look at something more current like a VR-09, which has a lot of classic sounds and new sounds too - and it's new for under 1K. I also have a fairly new Yamaha MOXF6 that fills the bill too. Both are great keyboards. Have fun!
I think the music fits the flavor perfectly!
wow, nice job putting the video clips together, you got some amazing shots. anyone watching this would fall in love with model trains
really appreciate the kind words, thank you. I hope they all do!
🚂
:-D
The intro is so truthful
Agreed. Thanks!
Totally awsome too the max
Thank you!
Awesome when is the next release!!! Lol ! You have started no need to stop now lol
ha! Thank you. ...Might have to find another big layout (with a budget) to film a sequel I'm afraid.
Great Video, love that ending, happens way to often for me.
hahaha. thank you!
i saw it but it didn't register the first time.
i thought it was just a digital video effect !
@@cbranalli ;)
3:05 uh oh...
LOL
very nice video production, thumbs up.
Appreciate it, thank you!
That TH-cam Video is Surprisingly Appropriate to the Max, and I Love Toy Trains so much!!! :-D
Thank you for saying so! I love trains too :-)
+Ddot Cdot You're Welcome, New-Best-TH-cam-Friend-Forever-On-TH-cam-That-I-Just-Met-On-TH-cam-That-I-Love-So-Much. :-)
Model trains are no longer just for kids, thanks to advancements in designs and control tech like DCC.
You're right - like the narrator says, "There is ONE toy that can bring ANYONE joy." Trains 🚂 😎
Now it seems the hobby is gravitating to radio control and onboard battery power. I’m having a DC can motor installed in an American Flyer S gauge diesel and plan to put in R/C. These can really enhance the realism with programmed starting and stopping speeds that are prototypical.
I love this hobby so much I've been doing it for a few years now and it's always just a blast!
:-) Awesome!
(0:33) Love the music.
:-)
If I was into O scale Trains, I would have jumped on the opportunity to buy this, lol!
Switch to O - twice as big / twice as fun! :-D
I might someday, but for now, I think I will stay with ho scale, and also enjoy the small collection of O scale that I have
I've always liked the looks of O, but HO and S just have something about them
You got that right!
A lot of people have been asking what kind of cameras we used on this video, what the process was, and have told me they didn't believe a go pro was involved etc. - I will say this for now... we did use a GoPro for more than just train POV shots - a lot more than that in fact, in combination with a few other great cameras that have been longtime common favorites among shooters. Let's see how the video does. Keep sharing it, and if the view count exceeds 200k views, then I will be happy to share the behind the scenes secrets including what equipment we used, what went into the editing, and what our whole process was. Please share with as many people as you can!
Gratefully,
-The Producer
Coolest montage of a layout I've ever seen.
Thank you!
This is how you make a video
Thank you for saying so!
I have the mth proto 1 Southern Pacific daylight 4449
Cool! Me too :)
What a wonderful past time and yours is tops!
Thank you ! : )
so cool
Thanks!
I was 8 years old when I tried to win that train set at the local bakery in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Seems like just a few years ago, now I'm 50 looking back at how I wasted my life with one eye and with the other I'm looking at the sliding banana peel under my foot down in my grave. Funny how what we value as we age changes, I'd give anything near about to go back and redo my life. I'm sure most feel the same way. Precious life vs toys. Life....
This Old Boat .......sounds like you could use a good hobby at this point. ;)
I barely remember when I was about a year-and-a-half old I wandered out of the house and down the street in Portland Tennessee to see the train tracks. My pit bull Pebbles was with me and almost didn't let the police bring me back home without a fight. 🤣😂🙃😲
I totally recognize the music, its he end credit music from There goes a Police Car
It is now 27 year old stock music from GMP music group - so, it very well may have been used in that old video series too... It comes up under suggested stock music in their library for machines, motors, vehicles, motion, trains, etc. ...I got lucky. It fit the bill here perfectly. Did a little remixing of it and it’s tailored perfectly for this video.
Awesome job
Thank you!
Big spark from cab forward at 2:03
I love it! :-D
AMAZING VIDEO JUST WOW GOOD JOB ON THE VIDEO
Thank you very much!!
I can get all of that for a price of 5 college tuitions
Send us an email
Where did you get those Protosound 1 Sound effects for the video at? But apart from that it is a wonderfully done video!
Please send me an email at the address listed in the video and I'll be happy to share about the Protosounds with you. Not ready to reveal the ingredients behind all the video tricks to the world yet though.
I sent you an e-mail!
He didn’t get the proto sounds, they come with the locomotives
Hippo nose I know they came with the engines.
I love the video! Way to bring the adventure 😊❤❤😊❤😊
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
i notice the music in the background is from the end of there goes a police car kids video
Good detective work! It appears they used the same stock music by GMP Music Group.
It’s videos like these that show how amazing the model train hobby is.
Thank you! Agreed. Grateful every day for this hobby!
2:04 train whistle origin: A&WP 290.
good catch!
I’m getting a Bachman Douglas, Annie, and Clarabel
Very coollllllll!!! 👍😎
I don't know why but the end just scared me when you fall off there.
Hehehe 😁
Awesome
Thank you!
What type of track is being used?
Lionel 3-Rail O Gauge Tubular (Hi-Rail). Most of it is 1980s-1990s reproduction of postwar period electric toy train era tubular track (1950s-1960s).
Every time when i see the southern pacific 4449 i shout dayligut
:-)
Brilliant video - shame about the soundtrack!
Thanks.
I need that Burlington northern fp45
Good piece!
This is pretty cool wish I could afford it
You probably could now - the hobby has gotten cheaper. It was untouchable during the heydays.
Most of these trains are old Proto-1 locs. They are reasonable compared to anything TMCC, DCS, or Legacy and they look just as good.
@@ddotcdot6892 I've been getting into Proto 1 locomotives as of late after hitting a bit of a limbo in O gauge trains and they are spectacular. Extremely fun to run and they sound great too.
Most train model ho scale my enignes both like steam and diesel
cool
Totally awesome!
Thank you!!
Trains are so awesome!!!!!PS I love the trains and I am the big fan of trains.
Ditto!
Still LOVING this video! Very uplifting and exciting.Very well made!
Thank you to my NUMBER 1 FAN !!!
So Awesome! :-)
This was my ultimate childhood dream!!!!!!!
Dreams come true!!!
this a way to take reality stress away and go into a world of trains to take all problems away
Exactly. I cannot tell you how much stress relief and joy it brings me each day to just walk past and look at my trains and know they're right there on my display, or to fire them up and have all of the action going. They make life better.
At 0:10, you didn't see the woman roll her eyes, which for SURE you'd see in real life!
HA! Well, Ms. Whitlock is in-fact enthusiastic about trains, so I guess we lucked out by working with her... (we definitely did, she's an awesome lady). But valid point in general, and historically, for sure. ;)
This was a good one, watching again.
Thank you! 👍🏽👍🏽
ummm i like ES44AC BETTER
Ummmm Ok, cool.... :)
bet theres no mesquitos in that room !
:-D NOT ONE INSECT!!
This video has something about it that just inspires something in me to get into trains again
So glad!
Love all that smoke!!!
Thanks! Me too :-D ....it was fun to shoot, but hard to find a transformer that could sustain the amp draw for long enough to get a good massive smoke shot lol
Amazing video, a great source of inspiration, good work, thank you very much !
Thank you for the kind words, and you are very welcome!
Like. 🚂
:-)
i'm 9 and i have hornby locos
Wow....Cool!!! : )
Did the train crash in the end?!
Yep :-D
New subscriber here
Thanks for subbing!
What building is that at 2:32 -2:34? I have never seen the woman pop up next to the officer like that one before. I love it!!!!
Not sure what it is called, but I will find out for you the next time I visit the layout.
A world of miniature
indeed
Did the layout get sold?
Contact the owner to find out.
How mutch??? ($$$).
Thank You.
Please direct your questions regarding the layout to the email listed in the credits and description. Thank you.
Ddot Cdot Hello!!! What is the name of these two steamers of this part 2:11 ?
Lucas Romero - Hi. Screen left is the Snow White face - 1995 Lionel 2046 Boston & Albany Hudson w/TMCC and Railsounds II built in America. On the right of that is the 1991 Lionel NYC L3a Mohawk with early RailSounds by QSI built in Korea with Mike Wolf for Lionel.
THANK YOU A LOT!!! God Guide you in all your ways forever!
@@lukythesteamlover - no idea...looks like a toy version of a Lionel polar express train set engine mold (which is also a toy “fantasy” version of a Berkshire and totally incorrect when compared to any real life prototype). Worst thing about your picture is that the tender is facing the wrong way against the steam engine. The toy company that made those trains and created the picture is clearly not run by anyone who actually knows something about trains.
Anyway, if you have any more questions on anything else unrelated to this video - please email me.
wish i had the space let alone money for this hobby.damn its shockingly expensive
For trains like these you can get them second hand for a bargain these days - you just have to know where to look and be prepared to know how to maintain them to keep costs down. Notice these are all mostly 1990s models, but they look just like the ones made today - which can run thousands (I can't afford those.). Just gotta keep 'em in good shape, no matter what age and they'll impress.
This production was beyond "shoestring budget" - you've heard the term "low-budget", well this was "NO-budget" lol ...a lot of volunteered time from very good friends
Yeah you would have to go with The Lionel MPC era
I have an HO Layout 30 by 40 ft and in the center is 100 feet of 3 track mainline thats a wishbone roundy round
That's very nice!
Do you have the Durango-Silverton railroad train? I would highly recommended it, its fantastically detailed.
I do not currently have any Durango-Silverton RR trains. Which train from that RR are you referring to in particular? .....maybe if we ever get a sequel going it might be a train to consider featuring.
I don't see much in the way of 19th Century or narrow gauge replicas faithfully done in O Gauge, although I do have the Golden Spike generals and a Rio Grande 10-wheeler - all MTH Rail King and nicely done.
👍
:-)
wow enjoyed the video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice!
Thank you!!
Amazing from Delana
Awww huge hug and thank you to my wonderful niece! ❤
I just love the gas turbines I just picked up a ho scale a few days ago and I absolutely love it
Gas Turbines rock! Congrats!
Great video! How'd you get a hold of the original Proto-Sound clips?
Thank you! It's all straight from the chips.
@@ddotcdot6892 Neat! I did that too but there was a lot of white noise in several samples. Do you know how to fix that?
@@Eli_Santin - use NLE software *Adobe Premier or Audition or something equivalent and throw on a low pass filter in the treble range somewhere between 8k-12khz. Throw on a high pass as well if you’re also getting subsonic rumble. (Anything below 40hz is typically useless in most cases anyway, so it’s a good rule of thumb to just eliminate the sub-bottom floor altogether.)
If that still isn’t enough - try a 3 (or more) band effects EQ with EQ sweep in the mid and high range. Adjust as needed.
Try all of these conventional “analog” methods before moving on to noise cancelling filters. Try to avoid them if possible. Noise filters typically ruin the original audio by the time they have removed enough noise to make a difference... That said, it’s been 3 years since I’ve fooled with any of it. Maybe some of the new software has come a long way in that department and actually works now.
You’ll have to play around and see what makes for the best results. Don’t forget to save..save..save.
@@ddotcdot6892 Thank you! I'm assuming you had to deal with the white noise problem too. I find it curious how the locomotives filter that out. My brother and I had to essentially reverse-engineer the sound system to grab individual samples.
@@Eli_Santin - whoa! That’s dedication, but it really can be done in a much simpler way than that. The easiest way to capture what the chip puts out is to take the leads to the speaker and wire them to a 1/8 headphone jack straight into a Zoom recorder (or equivalent). Record at least 48kHz/16-bit or higher sample rate, turn the volume on PS1 way down so you’re putting out “signal” levels and simply play them back with the engine on a test track or floating with jumpers and run it off a transformer like normal. This was how it had to be done because taking a board out of a good engine was not an option at the time - it had to be able to go right back to filming duties.
As for the noise, and clean up, all of that was done in Adobe Premier once the audio was on the timeline.
One of the reasons you don’t hear the noise much straight off the engine is because the speakers used in them are terrible and are incapable of the high and low range where hiss and noise and rumble would normally exist. Their speakers are equivalent to midrange drivers used commonly in bookshelf 3-way speaker systems.
