I remember having a set like this as a kid. It only had an oval and I remember the locomotive being red and silver with an open cab. The tender was probably red and it did have a yellow Rio Grande boxcar. I remember it making smoke but I forgot it had sound like that. I don't think it had a remote. I remember it had a blue box and I only remember running it twice before my mom gave it to Toys For Tots. I kinda forgot about this set as I got proper electric trains as I got older. That was until I found a set similar to it with a smoke unit in 2019. Unfortunately it was one curve shy from forming a complete loop and I didn't have enough batteries for it so I got rid of it.
My parents bought me this EZTec toy train and I took care of it for many years! I had the same remote, same locomotive except the coal was black, Santa Fe Yellow Tank, Red Gondola, and a caboose. Not sure if I had the 5 rolling stock. It's been a long time.
Bought an EZTEC 37287 2050 train at a garage sale for my grandson. I learned a lot from your video but wonder if EZTEC has a website so I can get extra parts, a manual, more track, and learn a little more about it. Paid $5 so if it doesn't work, so be it.... neat looking train though.... and I read someplace that you could run it without the remote control, with a manual switch... any ideas on that? The remote is there and I suspect most of the covers are gone like mine so I will do a MacGuyver with duct tape... How do I run it manually?
The black button closest to the bell will start the train without the remote. For this model, it will only push it forwards. Other models that don’t come with a remote can do both forwards and backwards; in this case, the bell plays the sound. I’m not sure on parts but once I do extra research, I’ll get back to you.
I got the Christmas train that you have for Christmas in 2020 the only different thing it's called The Happy Holiday Express in the front of it is silver instead of gold
Hi David! I recently got a few cars from an antique store for my toddler, (engine, flat car and caboose) and then realized I needed a coal car and remote to run the train, which I purchased as one unit. Now the train (Rio Grande 7318) runs when I use the switches manually, but the remote that came with the coal car lights up but doesn't turn the train on. Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? Thanks so much!
I now got the earlier version that used the same molding, the Silvernite Express. It didn't come with a remote, so I took out the mainboard and put in my own custom solution that runs on an Arduino with Bluetooth. Problem solved, and I now get to actually pick the speed and whether the headlight is on or not!
Check the track connections and the wheels. Otherwise I unfortunately don’t know what else can be causing this. You may also look on eBay for replacement track.
I have the same new bright train just put it out for trash works but axle bushing and slip clutch are shot doesn't have practical controls makes tons of motor noise and rubber treads are gone. I bought a better 1987 set number #187 cool train had to fix a bunch of stuff on it but working perfectly now has light, mechanical chug and bell sound as well as whistle and smoker.
@@davidng2336 I don't remember why, but WD-40 isn't recommended for this sort of thing. Generally, anything that's indicated for regular model railways is.
I actually modified the track to a simple circle, but I can give it a shot whenever I get the chance. If I don’t do so this year I will do it next year instead.
@@LukeDoorManalright, long overdue, but here’s a video of both trains running at the same time! th-cam.com/video/x07wBU_2JfI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OpHKhELCf8OEBrT-

Best sounds ever. The newer trains also use this type of sound, but on a relatively quieter scale.
I'm kind of surprised, because even when you're used proper DCC sound decoders, for what it is, it's really good. @@davidng2336
My wife bought our Grandson a Christmas set made by this company. We use the Lionel Battery Operated Polar Express under our tree. Nice video!
Thank you! This company is still making trains, although they have evolved over the years.
I used to have this train! I got it for Christmas in 2005, along with some cheap one from Toys “R” Us
That’s where I got both of my EZTEC trains! Glad I got the North Pole Express before Toys “R” Us closed.
@@davidng2336 You meant when, not where
@@GoseiGuyProductions yes lol. Do you still have your train?
@@davidng2336 Nope

Next time, you can try ordering replacement/expansion track from eBay. A seller by the name of Variety Discount sells such.

I used to have this exact train set when I was little the memories are flying back to me🥹
This is still enjoyable. Always a good tradition to have these running under the tree!

I’ve seen that one. The trains released after mine definitely look better.

Thanks for reaching out! Let’s start with the remote. Do you know what model of remote you have? Look on the back for the model number.
I now got the earlier version that used the same molding, the Silvernite Express. It didn't come with a remote, so I took out the mainboard and put in my own custom solution that runs on an Arduino with Bluetooth.
Problem solved, and I now get to actually pick the speed and whether the headlight is on or not!
Very creative! I hope you continue to enjoy your train for the years to come!
Mine keeps slipping off the tracks. Driving me nuts! Any suggestions? Thanks

Request: Scientific Toys/EZTEC Smokey Canyon Express train set Review
That's where the batteries go! 😂 ha thanks for the video
You are welcome!
What kind of oil do you use for the smoke ?
I would get 3-in-1 multi purpose oil.
@@davidng2336 Do you need to unscrew the 3 screws on the stack to fill it with oil?
I have the same new bright train just put it out for trash works but axle bushing and slip clutch are shot doesn't have practical controls makes tons of motor noise and rubber treads are gone. I bought a better 1987 set number #187 cool train had to fix a bunch of stuff on it but working perfectly now has light, mechanical chug and bell sound as well as whistle and smoker.
I may one day get a replacement New Bright, but I have two EZTEC/Scientific trains and I think it’s good enough. Glad you found a new one.
Do u play wid it daily?
@@ahunk1106 you can buy the scientific toy train new so you could run it daily.
Only during the holidays. The one running in this video is way too loud to use daily.
Holy Toledo that is so terrible but they make newer versions of the same trains but it might not be new bright
Honestly the sound isn't the problem so much as the squeaking axles. I would recommend some silicone oil for the axle boxes!
I used WD-40 before. I’ll most likely go for it again. But thanks for the advice!
@@davidng2336 I don't remember why, but WD-40 isn't recommended for this sort of thing. Generally, anything that's indicated for regular model railways is.
@@lillywho I’ll look into it.
Can you please make a video of both of these trains running in the same video?

#36912 EZ TECH I lost the Remote Control will it still work or where can I get another remote? Thank you😊
Plenty of remotes can be found on eBay. Make sure it’s a grey one with the number 027 on it, and with four buttons.
Could David help me? Do the rails on these models fit together perfectly? is it possible to add rails from other models? Thanks
The tracks are easy to put together and fit without issue. If you want to use other track, use G-scale track.
can i still get the train in 2022
I’m pretty sure you can. It’s discontinued but some guys on eBay sell it for decent prices.
Can you please send me a link of 1999 Grand Canyon?
Thanks anyways
Hello, and thanks for watching my video! I’m not selling my train, but look on eBay for this.
Cant seem to find one single video showing how to fill th smoke on this trains. anyone would like to inlignted me?
I would recommend this vid: th-cam.com/video/zT-yD4P3Az0/w-d-xo.html
Every G scale train rolling stock have squeaky wheels
Yeah they do lol. Fortunately you can correct it with some WD-40 or another lubricant of your choice.
