I love your trains! When I was young (I am now 65) I trained as a fireman/stoker on steam engines in Cape Town South Africa. I was paid a fortune at the time (the equivalent of around $1.65 a day in 1975, although our currency was then MUCH stronger, so probably around $16 a day!). I just loved the way the engine “breathed” and responded to every touch. Taking water by kicking a lever on the floor, and creating a vacuum was almost a sexual experience! An entire train once derailed while I was illegally driving it (my driver was sleeping) but thank The Lord it was not my fault and I had done nothing wrong (the points were badly set). But what an experience. I relay the entire episode in my book Lesson From The Sauna which you can buy for a few cents on Kindle. I am sure you will enjoy the one chapter called “When The Trains Roll By” which is about the derailment, and is also set in White Rock, BC Canada through which many US trains trundle every day (much to the chagrin of most Canadians). And me. But stupid Canada for selling the railway line right along the quaint beachfront to a foreign company! Anyway. There is nothing like the sensual experience of a steam engine as I am sure you know well. I can’t wait to see your trains shunt through snow in your backyard! Good luck....
This was great fun! My all time favorite and, apparently, many others, is the ATCHISON TOPEKA & SANTA FE SUPERCHIEF!. I took a ride on the real one a few decades ago & never forgot the experience.Thank you!
Toby: Now who's the fastest engine on Sodor, Gordon! Gordon: (annoyed) I hate that tram now. He's not even electric. Toby: Whoosh! Edward: Shush Gordon, You’ve offended him!
my kids love your channel. it's one of the few things we let them watch. we live in KENNESAW, GA. we love the train named "the general" famous for its being stolen and then dramatically recaptured during the Civil War. it's fully restored here in a museum.
i like the amtrak train thats my favorite it is the fastest oh and there also a train in amtrak are is the acela express is the fastest amtrak train i have seen so far but toby is fast you should put toby in first place dude zim
Sir Topham Hatt is a proud man to see that his engines made it into the top five fastest locomotives in Jim's video. This will make Gordon very jealous indeed.
How convenient, that locomotive is a, brace your ears, a P32-8BWH locomotive designed for switching and backup power to work alongside the GP40TC. Now, if any of you are curious about which engine I am talking about, the link to the time of video is right here: 21:50
This was fabulous! Very entertaining and the commentary was perfect. This is the most excitement I’ve had since Spring Training baseball! Thank you Jim!
It makes sense Toby runs fast. Despite not being arrow dynamic the engine is most likely pretty light and has a bigger motor than some of the smaller engines that are light.
Can you make a two track layout for a race on two engines against each other and some races will be Thomas vs Percy ,James vs Emily , Toby vs Winston, coca cola vs Santa Fe steam engine and Amtrak vs first responders
2:46: So without further ado, let's go go go! First up today, a train that Jim Zim's TH-cam viewers including me really seemed to love. Jim Zim have got a lot of great comments about the Santa Fe Super Chief diesel locomotive #202 from LGB. It is a classic from an era that is long gone when passenger trains carried more passengers than airplanes. There are five different cameras to capture these time trails. A GoPro camera captures the start and finish of the time trials. Another GoPro camera for the waterfall fountain view before the G scale model trains head under the orange tree. Third GoPro camera mounted on the G scale model trains for the POV which by the way stands for Point Of View shots at ground track level. Fourth camera which is the cell phone camera in the garage where it captures the halfway times of the 25 of 26 G scale model trains and also the halfway sign. The halfway sign was 6 and/or 10 feet short where it really should have been. Back to camera number three mounted on the G scale model trains from Bachmann, LGB, MTH Electric Trains and Piko as we go through the laundry room and in to the kitchen before reaching the dining room. And the Dining Room Cam which is the big Canon DSLR 80D camera, which explains why the picture quality is so much better than the other cameras. Once the G scale model trains reach the dining room, they have the start and finish line in sight and we will see the fast and slow runs on the layout. Holy Cow we don't believe what we have just saw! Toby the #7 0-6-0 brown steam Tram Engine from Thomas and Friends manufactured by Bachmann ran the layout in 37 seconds and the halfway time of 17 seconds beating all of the G scale model trains in the race! You will do another race with 26 G scale analog, battery powered and DCC locomotives in your G scale model train collection sometime someday in the future!
The Santa Fe Super Chief that you owned are actually EMD F7 A-B units. The F7 is a 1,500 horsepower Diesel-electric locomotive built by EMD between 1949 & 1953. A total of 2,393 cab-equipped lead A units and 1,463 cabless-booster units would be built. The 3 railroads that had the most orders of the F7 is Southern Pacific (250 A units & 220 B units), the New York Central (238 A units & 56 B units), and the Santa Fe (215 A units & 247 B units).
Thanks, my 2 year old loves your channel and you have helped cultivate an even deeper and richer appreciation for the rails. I’ll capitalize on that and teach him rail history as he gets older. All the best to you!
Hello Jim, that was a smashing video you created. I love seeing your G Scale Model Locomotives running at full speed. I thought Thomas the Tank Engine, who is my No.1 favourite character & locomotive is going to win until Toby the Tram Engine beaten his time & that surprised me. As what Thomas said, "Little Engines Can Do Big Things." Thomas is now the fastest tank engine in your collection, beating Percy, the Porter & Swiss Locomotive. Onces again, a smashing video, well done Jim.
It's ironic that Toby was the fastest of all the engines in your collection, considering that in "Hasty Hannah", he told Hannah that he wasn't built for high speeds.
Hi Jim. Hats off to you for a fun idea. Unfortunately, I don't think it settled the question of which loco was the fastest because - to use a horse racing analogy - it should have been a handicap race (do you use that expression in the US?). I wasn't a fair comparison as you had battery/DC/DCC locos and also they were of different weights. It is beyond my small brain to come up with a method of handicapping, but it would have been nice to see one.
Watching this definitely brought out the kid in me. Now you should run the time trials again, but with all the locomotives pulling the same consist. It would be interesting to see if your engines are just as fast, relative to the others, with cars as without.
I think I'll try to collect Bachmann Ho scale versions of at least most of your G scale model trains and their corresponding cars. I already have Bachmann Ho scale E-Z Track pieces and an old-style power pack. I would like to have as many of your model trains as I can in Ho scale. What do you think of that idea? Like it? (I'll make videos of each one as I get them, running on a layout using just my current supply of tracks). I'll start with one of the two Santa Fe diesel locomotives. Probably the Santa Fe diesel locomotive that is similar to the White Pass diesel. I have the right cars already (mostly).
Thanks! I consider it a matter of professionalism to do it that way, and I am always shocked when I see big-time TH-camrs who don't give it any thought at all and let ads just drop in randomly in the middle of their videos, totally interrupting the content. It is totally up to the individual video owner to decide if ads will be placed during the video, and they always have the option to specify the exact moment when ads should appear. It seems like most TH-camrs are just too lazy to take the time to do it the way I do it. I think my way makes the ads much less annoying for viewers. I'm glad you noticed that I put a little more effort in to it than most TH-camrs do!
@@JimZim For sure, when i saw that edit, i was like, that is not timing. I never knew content creators could choose where to put their adds, and plan, and record...accoringly. And honestly, haveing a break, right before the ad, makes the difference. I dont feel like im roped into watching an ad, this felt like it was part of the program. All too often, as you stated, many content creators drop them mid sent...*buy our car buy our soap* ...ence, and it gets annoying every 4-5 minutes on longer videos. Cheers, have a wonderful week, stay safe, stay healthy, and as they say on WNTW with Ken Paterson, "We share the best hobby in the world, so rock-n-roll, lets go run some trains!"
Enjoyed the video, Jim! Its always fun to see which locomotive in a collection is the real hot rod of the bunch! A member of the club I'm in and myself decided to pit a pair of my Scaletrains Rivet Counter ET44AC locomotives against a pair of Walthers Mainline locomotives, all dcc/sound equipped (check out the video when you get a chance) and see which pair could outrun the other. Unfortunately, with one loop being dcc and the other straight dc, it wasn't the best way to see which pair could outrun the other but it was loads of fun anyway! Take care buddy!
I give them to relatives or neighbors. I don't do this with any of the 19 G-scale trains that appear in this video... only with battery-operated "toy trains" that I review for TH-cam... such as the Lionel Polar Express, the John Deere train, etc.
I just found a copy of the 2020 Bachmann catalog and sure enough... you're right... they're planning on coming out with "Diesel" in G-scale later this year. As far as I know, it's not available yet, though.
Now he does! Along with Paxton the Young Diesel from Thomas and Friends manufactured by Bachmann! Jim Zim, the question is: When are you going to get Toby's museum passenger coaches from Bachmann in G scale to add the G scale model train collection? Let me know when you reply to me and I'll understand and be honest with you. As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim and I love your collection of G scale model trains and also the American Cocker Spaniel dog, Carli!
What model version of The North Pole Express do you own. My son is obsessed with your videos and saw it in your 360 video and we tracked it to here. We can’t find one with the exact colors he wants like yours ; ).
Mine is a Piko-brand locomotive from a few years ago, which they don't make anymore. However, they do have a starter set for 2020 that is quite similar. Check it out at www.piko-america.com/collections/g-scale-starter-sets/products/38122-christmas-freight-starter-set-w-analog-sound-smoke-g-scale
Quite enjoyed this video, Jim. Like you I would have thought Emily had more of an advantage over the others given her large driving wheels. I just recently got my hands on Toby, so apparently I've purchased a jet powered steam train. I did want to ask what are the exact details on the camera used in the dining room footage and would you recommend it? I've had numerous camera issues since the start of this year and just recently the one I was using decided to stop working. Really need to get my hands on a new one if I plan to make more videos, so I've been looking around for suggestions on what would work best.
It was either just the reflection from the sun or the lights but I saw something light up in the trains cab in the lionel Santa Fe super chief. They also have G scale plastic train and another little mini ho scale plastic train. And ready to run Lionel polar express train
The Super Chief definitely has interior lighting. So does my Amtrak train. They both look cool when they run in the evening, but it's basically impossible to catch on video because a video camera needs light to get a good picture... so trying to shoot model train videos at night doesn't work well!
@@JimZim oh cool thx and btw The G scale plastic train is my new bright same with the little HO scale plastic train it’s not really each of steel though it doesn’t really fit
Very creative way to run trains during this time, i think the Amtrak was faster than the two other diesels because its modified to be a passenger engine, whereas Santa Fe and 911 are freight engines, now if you had Gordon in the fleet I wonder if he'd beat Toby because he's an express engine
On the boxes for all three of those G-scale models, they are listed as Dash 8. The real Norfolk Southern First Responders locomotive is actually a EMD SD60E, I believe.
Sth: ( sir topem hat) what is your name Toby: Toby. Sir topem hat's grandkids: what is that engine? Sth: that is a tram engine. Sth kids: is it electric? Toby:( i m t r I g g e r d!)whooosh
I love your trains!
When I was young (I am now 65) I trained as a fireman/stoker on steam engines in Cape Town South Africa.
I was paid a fortune at the time (the equivalent of around $1.65 a day in 1975, although our currency was then MUCH stronger, so probably around $16 a day!).
I just loved the way the engine “breathed” and responded to every touch.
Taking water by kicking a lever on the floor, and creating a vacuum was almost a sexual experience!
An entire train once derailed while I was illegally driving it (my driver was sleeping) but thank The Lord it was not my fault and I had done nothing wrong (the points were badly set).
But what an experience.
I relay the entire episode in my book Lesson From The Sauna which you can buy for a few cents on Kindle.
I am sure you will enjoy the one chapter called “When The Trains Roll By” which is about the derailment, and is also set in White Rock, BC Canada through which many US trains trundle every day (much to the chagrin of most Canadians).
And me.
But stupid Canada for selling the railway line right along the quaint beachfront to a foreign company!
Anyway. There is nothing like the sensual experience of a steam engine as I am sure you know well.
I can’t wait to see your trains shunt through snow in your backyard! Good luck....
This was great fun! My all time favorite and, apparently, many others, is the ATCHISON TOPEKA & SANTA FE SUPERCHIEF!. I took a ride on the real one a few decades ago & never forgot the experience.Thank you!
Porter is in the lead.
Thomas: No way a knockoff duplicate of Percy can be faster than me.
I almost missed the joke oof
@@TrajectoryT almost wooshed xd
Thomas: *I am sped*
Dat boi that's lightning McQueens line.
All the Sodor engines are in the top five. And that just made me smile
Me too
Toby: Now who's the fastest engine on Sodor, Gordon!

I love videos like this where it has Thomas engines and real engines.
“We got an A4 2-6-2 at 30 seconds, and Thomas at about 34
Ironically, Toby is one of the slowest engines in the Thomas & Friends series.
**The fastest shed in the west**

Hi Jim, my son loves watching your train videos. He's obsessed with Trains. Thank you for making these great videos.
34 minutes of my life not waisted than you Sr love the videos and the commentary
I really love the Coco Cola trains and the Super Chief!
This was fabulous! Very entertaining and the commentary was perfect. This is the most excitement I’ve had since Spring Training baseball! Thank you Jim!

The steam trains are me favorite no matter how fast or slow but i just love them and your videos
I feel like this guy would be a great dad
This shall be the last video I watch or am watching before going to bed.

I love your white pass & Yukon railroad alco class 101 such a nice locomotive I must ask how much was it
I love the Santa Fe train more than any other.
Haha lol. It's funny how one of the SLOWEST and OLDEST engines on the show would WIN a race, where there are Amtrak diesels that'll get up to 65 mph!

You should consider doing another kid friendly hour long video of your trains, my kids love watching your other one.
I've ridden on a real Amtrak passenger train pulled by a diesel locomotive. There is an Amtrak station in Randolph, Vermont, right near my house.
Quite enjoyed this video, Jim. Like you I would have thought Emily had more of an advantage over the others given her large driving wheels. I just recently got my hands on Toby, so apparently I've purchased a jet powered steam train. I did want to ask what are the exact details on the camera used in the dining room footage and would you recommend it? I've had numerous camera issues since the start of this year and just recently the one I was using decided to stop working. Really need to get my hands on a new one if I plan to make more videos, so I've been looking around for suggestions on what would work best.
The dining room footage was shot with my "good camera"... the one I use for the highest quality stuff I shoot. It's a Canon EOS 80D.
It was either just the reflection from the sun or the lights but I saw something light up in the trains cab in the lionel Santa Fe super chief. They also have G scale plastic train and another little mini ho scale plastic train. And ready to run Lionel polar express train
The Super Chief definitely has interior lighting. So does my Amtrak train. They both look cool when they run in the evening, but it's basically impossible to catch on video because a video camera needs light to get a good picture... so trying to shoot model train videos at night doesn't work well!

Very creative way to run trains during this time, i think the Amtrak was faster than the two other diesels because its modified to be a passenger engine, whereas Santa Fe and 911 are freight engines, now if you had Gordon in the fleet I wonder if he'd beat Toby because he's an express engine
Love your video 👍, I'm going with Amtrak
Toby: woah! Who are you?
Me: The fastest train in sodor
Edward and Gorden: holy crap
First responders is a GE Dash 9 modeled after a real NS tribute unit aswel as the Warbonnet. The Amtrack is a Dash 8
On the boxes for all three of those G-scale models, they are listed as Dash 8.
The real Norfolk Southern First Responders locomotive is actually a EMD SD60E, I believe.
I never saw Toby go so fast
I want to go to the house
this is so relaxing, great commentary too!
I hope I see your Amtrak passenger train after you run the first responders train and the Santa Fe number 868
