I definitely like the MTH Electric Trains brand Santa Fe General Electric Dash 8-40CW diesel locomotive #868 pulling 16 cars of a goods train in this video, we can also see the LGB Christmas Coca Cola steam train running on a loop; in another video, where we introduce the MTH brand Norfolk Southern Railway Honoring Our First Responders Train #911 and a cameo of James the Really Super Splendid #5 2-6-0 Red Tender Engine from Bachmann, we will see the Amtrak passenger train #500, and the Santa Fe General Electric Dash 8-40CW diesel locomotive #868 pulling 17 cars of the longest goods train you've ever seen in any of the other TH-cam videos. We also see the Amtrak passenger train #500. And near the end of this video, we see Thomas the #1 Blue 0-6-0 E2 Tank Engine pulling Annie and Clarabel from Bachmann. All three G scale model trains go through the Red Tunnel. This is Thomas Comeau, signing off today for now!
MTH Electric Trains still keeps on going strong with updates and more! MTH Electric Trains is going to make a G scale Big Boy steam locomotive! And also, MTH Electric Trains is still going to make the General Electric Dash 8-40CW diesel locomotives in seven different paint schemes of seven remaining railways, since you have three of the General Electric Dash 8-40CW diesel locomotives in three different paint schemes of three different railways like Amtrak, Santa Fe Railway, and Norfolk Southern Railway Honoring Our First Responders! As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim!
Thomas and Percy are good friends, Thomas is blue and Percy is green different colors, Thomas is number 1 and Percy is number 6 different numbers, both of them have tanks on the side of their boilers and both of them are tank engines and both of them are really useful too!
Jim I'm living in a house divided! My grandson loves Thomas while I like the Santa Fe freight. So as you know Thomas wins! LOL 🤣 Keep the train vids coming in 2019!
Hi Jim, I happened on this video while searching layouts for ideas. I am impressed. This was not a quick set up. While I love the trains what I want to know is how you filmed them? Running around the layout backwards seems too simple. The transitions were smooth and beautiful. Had you been outside I would have thought it was just drone footage. Care to let us in on the process? Awesome video and beautiful trains, have to say the Amtrak was my favorite.
The shots that look like drone shots were simply me walking along with the train, with a GoPro on the end of a three foot long selfie stick. The GoPro Hero 7 black has excellent built-in image stabilization, which gives some nice smoothness to the shot in spite of the fact that the camera was shaking like crazy on the end of that long selfie stick.
Well, you better get one fast. They're still in stock at Trainworld.com, but they won't be for long. MTH makes these in very limited quantities, and they tend to sell out and become totally unavailable after that. You can get one right now at www.trainworld.com/manufacturers/mth-trains/mth-70-2117-1-santa-fe-dash-8-diesel-rd-868-with-proto-sound-3-0/
Love the santa fe diesel. Just ordered one and having it converted to battery. Bending over outside cleaning 400 feet of track gets hard on the body. If, I did indoor layout, would only run track power. Love your engines.
I usually set it up for 2 or 3 days at a time. She just asks that I remove the track from the kitchen at the end of the day so that she doesn't have to dodge the tracks in the morning. After we're all done with breakfast, I put the kitchen track back in. But like I said, it's only like you see in this video for 2 or 3 days at a time... and this only happens on average about once a month. So, it's not really that big of a sacrifice for her to step over some tracks 2 or 3 days a month.
In the next video, at the very end of it, I include some "bloopers" of trains crashing during the making of the video. That's sort of a behind-the-scenes thing, I guess.
That's a really interesting idea. I could have a diesel locomotive enter one end of the tunnel and then cut to a shot of a steam locomotive coming out the other end.
I have a Southern steam from LGB. My traction wheels the original rubber cam off. I keep buy this aftermarket from Only Trains it doesn’t last. Getting train ready to run around the Christmas tree, the track is on the wall. It’s 98 feet long. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this Thank you.
The one in this video has 17 cars on it... that was every freight car I own! So, the only way I could go any longer would be to mix freight cars and passenger cars... which wouldn't be very realistic. Or, I could buy more freight cars... but I've basically run out of room to store trains in my house.
Be aware that what you're looking at in this video is somewhere around $10,000 or more worth of model trains. These types of G scale trains are ridiculously expensive. The track sells for $7 per foot!
It's not a set you can buy just as one item. What you're looking at in this video is a collection of individual model train items that were collected over a period of 5 years.
I'm really running out of room for more trains at my house, so I have to try to control the urge to buy every cool new train. I do like the Napa Valley train, especially because my sister lives in Napa... but I think since it's basically identical to the Santa Fe F7 that I already own, I will have to pass.
Hi Jim. I bought my grandson this Thomas the Train (Ready to Play) and found there are no additional cars made for it that can run on its track and the track seems to be adaptable only to Lionels other Ready to Play train systems. I notice all of your trains seem to be running on the same type of track. Is that true or is each train system running on a track adaptable to the individual train? I'm trying to find out if i can purchase different trains to run on the Thomas track.
These are not Lionel Ready To Play trains. Those are completely different and not compatible with anything but other Lionel Ready To Play trains. What you see in this video are G scale trains, including Thomas The Tank Engine in G scale. There are quite a few Thomas & Friends characters available in G scale, but it won't work with your Lionel stuff and is also hugely more expensive.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. If you're wondering how I know what's coming up ahead of the train... for example, which way switches are thrown ahead of the train... I control the train by a tablet, so I am able to walk around with the train as it goes around the house and I can see everything in front of the train... not unlike being the engineer in the front of the locomotive. If you're asking how I remember the layout so that I can build the same layout again the next time I set the trains up... I try to do a different layout each time I set up the trains. Some parts of the layout are similar each time I set it up, but I always try to do something a little different than the previous times. If you watch several of the model train videos on my channel, you'll see some big and small differences from layout to layout.
I never kept a detailed accounting of the costs. It's a lot, that's for sure. My feeling is that you should not buy cheap track. If you do, that's only going to set you up for trouble later. When I got started in G scale, the consensus seemed to be that LGB made the best quality track. So, I've always bought LGB track. And I never want to think of a cool layout but not be able to make it because I don't have enough track. So, I have a LOT of track!
Thomas is actually one of the least expensive G scale trains. Thomas cost about $200 and each of the cars was about $70. But it's the track that is hugely expensive at about $8 per foot. Other G-scale locomotives that you see in this video cost about $1000 and the cars behind them cost about $200 each.
Hello Jim, Yep your wife must be very tolerant my wife would never allow that to happen. If I did that I’d be in divorce court. I guess if I ever become single again I will stay that way. Good luck
A lot of the locomotives in my collection have DCC built in, but some don't. So, I run DCC when I can, but some of my layouts also involve a separate set of tracks with analog controls. The DCC system I use is by MRC. The reason I like that one is that it's really easy to integrate it with a WiFi unit that allows me to control my trains from a phone or a tablet. There are apps for both iPhone and Android that work with it. It works really well for me. I especially like it for the layouts that go outside of my house... as it makes it really easy for me to walk along with the train with a tablet in my hand and control the train from right there, wherever I am on the layout.
The Thomas train is classic. Love the clean, sharp bright colors of all the trains. As opposed to mine right here: th-cam.com/video/EExGYU8ORLg/w-d-xo.html
I buy all my model trains from www.trainworld.com Be aware that the ones you see in this video are G-scale... one of the most expensive of all model trains.
Married for 39 years. People see these videos and jump to the assumption that the tracks are set up like that every day. Nope. A few days, at most... and typically about once a month, that's all. The wife doesn't put up much of a fuss, and she likes the advertising revenue that TH-cam shares with us. One million views to a video roughly equates to $1000 in to our bank account. Go look at how many views these model train videos get on my channel, and do the math. Someone can put up with having to step over some train tracks 2 or 3 days a month for that kind of money.
@@JimZim When my Dad was running LGB we had wanted to do this, as you can walk a complete circle around our house. My mother said absolutely not. When I saw that you didn't keep it up all the time, I bet married 😆
I used to watch a lot of train videos when I was so little, Good old days
I am so jealous right now I want it
Trains are sort of Relaxing
I'd say you have a busy railroad going through your house 😊😊
I liked the part where we watched the train run!
I love that Santa Fe dash 9. However those curves seem very sharp for an engine like that.
Nice Train Setup
i love the santa fe trains you got a house full of trains running tracks all over the house what a awsome hobbie life to live
This is an amazing stuff thank you Jim are you I bet you it is a lot of hard work
Like the set up pretty cool operation.
Thank you so much! Our family liked your video!
Wow Jim its Amazing ! Great Work ! Great Video and Cinematography !
tubecohen y
Wow! You have so many G scale trains! You live in my dream house!!
I'm planning on getting some G scale models soon when I get a job this year hopefully.
Nice layout track around the house
Fantastic
I like that train
Your indoor layout is growing very fast, as well as your collection. I like this very much. It's fun to watch your trains driving around

Hey Jim,
You should make a train with all your freight cars.

Hey! It’s my man Jim. Thanks for another vid! That Santa Fe train is fast tho 😯 I like those lights too. Thanks Jim Zim
Trains are the best thing ever to be in the future
Can you do a video about you running them at night?
Video cameras need a lot of light to get a good picture. Train videos in a dark room never really turn out very well.
ahh, someday ill have something like this...
someday
Love the vid Jim cola train is my favorite
There's Thomas with Annie and Clarabelle and Percy with freight cars/troublesome trucks
It even has Thomas the Tank Engine too with Annie and Clarabelle
And Percy the Small Green Engine with freight cars/troublesome trucks
Actually, you should make a train with all your locomotives, all your passenger cars, and all your freight cars.
Cool
Super
I have a garden railroad and would love to have the santa Fe engine in my collection

Seems like a lot of time and trouble to set all this up, play with it AND get it all put away before the wife gets home from work.
I usually set it up for 2 or 3 days at a time. She just asks that I remove the track from the kitchen at the end of the day so that she doesn't have to dodge the tracks in the morning. After we're all done with breakfast, I put the kitchen track back in.

So, it's not really that big of a sacrifice for her to step over some tracks 2 or 3 days a month.
Hey Jim, your model train videos are simply amazing and are you ever going to make a BTS (behind the scenes) video? Lots of love from India.
In the next video, at the very end of it, I include some "bloopers" of trains crashing during the making of the video. That's sort of a behind-the-scenes thing, I guess.
The " red" tunnel could be a connector / conduit from 2020 to 1920 .... a time tunnel to the steam era ..... 😊
That's a really interesting idea. I could have a diesel locomotive enter one end of the tunnel and then cut to a shot of a steam locomotive coming out the other end.
Did any of your Train's collide with each other.
They have before
Too bad I can only like this once....
wow so cool train happy new year 2019 yall also whne you 2 going on the next cruise ship?? just wounder
I should have some new cruise videos for you around the end of the month.
I have a Southern steam from LGB. My traction wheels the original rubber cam off. I keep buy this aftermarket from Only Trains it doesn’t last. Getting train ready to run around the Christmas tree, the track is on the wall. It’s 98 feet long. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this Thank you.
Just outta curiosity, how much does the G Scale Thomas the Tank Engine cost?
Honestly I like the Red and Silver War bonnet on the old Santa Fe. I don't really like the New BNSF scheme. I wish they left it Red and Silver.
Can you please make a really long train and run it on the layout
The one in this video has 17 cars on it... that was every freight car I own! So, the only way I could go any longer would be to mix freight cars and passenger cars... which wouldn't be very realistic.

The way you have the tracks laid out in your home how do you remember how they are put together
Sometimes it helps to look back at an old video and see how I did it that time.
OK thank you very much love your videos about Cruises and the model trains looking forward to meeting you on a future cruise
All LGB track? How much you think you have invested in just track?
I never kept a detailed accounting of the costs. It's a lot, that's for sure. My feeling is that you should not buy cheap track. If you do, that's only going to set you up for trouble later.

Thomas is actually one of the least expensive G scale trains. Thomas cost about $200 and each of the cars was about $70. But it's the track that is hugely expensive at about $8 per foot. Other G-scale locomotives that you see in this video cost about $1000 and the cars behind them cost about $200 each.

Hello Jim, are you running all the engines on dcc? And have you tried MTH”s dcs system?

Thomas the Tank Engine is not too far off, but... Santa Fe is brave enough to fight like a man! [fair assessment]
i like thomas the tank engine
Is that G scale or O scale or Ho scale?
It's G Scale
Do you ever run them at night?
I’ll say Santa Fe was better
More toy videos please and thank.
