Can Model Trains Work Under Water? 

haha it is indeed!! Though it's reached the end of the road now, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

YAY! A TOP GEAR REFERENCE!

Build a platform for it! :D

Keith Olding try it in the Dover coast

I have a southern 0-4-0

haha!! xD

Steamvin 🤣🤣

Lol

LOL 😂

Lol

Not funny

Prime stop motion thats a shortcut

Same.motorized southern tank engine bath toys for life!

haha yep - there's no bath toy better, lol! Oh Mark - good grief! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Isle of Life when I was a kid mine was a rubber Thomas The Tank engine bath toy.

haha!! What a world that would be, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

driver: up periscope! fireman: eye sir!

haha, which one blew your mind more? xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains - Ahahaha!!!I really enjoy and respect what you do Sam. But no question about it, It was the black hole. :-) Speaking of space, how about a zero gravity train set??..... ;-)

Sammy B Films we would need a skydiving simulator tube for that!

You could put rocket. Posters on a bullet train then that would be in space with no gravity

haha!! xD

Underwater trains!

haha!! xD

haha! Wise words well spoken indeed! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

im pretty sure thats from percys promise

@@toadthebreakvan4518 Nope, it is from Percy Takes The Plunge

haha he was indeed... though technically it sank ;) Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha - it'd be a miracle if I was killed by 12v, lol! ;D I suppose if there was a fault with the controller and the power supply it might have been dangerous... but it's unlikely! xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

My pleasure mate - it was indeed a very good idea! I'm working on that idea already... great minds think alike eih?!?! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains Sam thanks again!

haha, I wouldn't be surprised, lol! xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha!! xD

haha yeah! I really should make a display like that! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah that's probably a good call - but I was hoping for devastating results anyway, for the sake of the video ;) Thanks for watching - Sam :)

OH DEAR - I'M NOT SURE I'M WILLING TO SACRIFICE MY SCOTSMAN!! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha!! Absolutely! ;D

I think just to get likes.

haha thanks mate - I do like putting up unexpected videos, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha thanks so much - they have been a lot of fun to make, lol! Lots more to come! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha was that a pun?!? Glad you enjoyed this anyway, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

RefurbishedComeng Yo another aussie

haha that's good to hear - welcome!!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Absolutely! I'm planning that next! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains I look forward to it! :)

haha!! Thanks mate, glad you liked it! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

You mean being thrown out of a window? I think there's a good chance it'd survive, yeah! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha me neither - that's why I used one of the cheapest engines I own! xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

How cheap?

@@SamsTrains the cheapest engine I presently have is a $30 USD Athearn Fairbanks-Morse Trainmaster from 1979 (from what I can find. I need to clean the rust off of it)

haha EXTREME!! :D

Ooh really?? I'll have to look into that - that's very cool! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains I'm not sure you'll find much, the place closed before we ever managed a second visit. It was a manor house absolutely rammed with all kinds of models, trains, ships, cars etc. I think there was a large model in the middle of the entrance hall, something along the lines of a 7 1/4" gauge Britannia. You parked in a field and took a meandering miniature railway to the house. The infrastructure on the railway was quite extensive, stations, bridges, engine sheds, workshops and a turntable. It was an absolutely awsome place for a train obsessed young lad. I'm not saying that if I win the lottery I've got a plan, but, I've got a plan. www.flickr.com/photos/trainsandstuff/sets/72157608030994648/

haha that'd be awesome - great idea!! :D

Good one! I'll be doing something along those lines soon! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hey Garry, thanks for the comment! I don't think that's an issue - I covered all of the safety warnings at the start, and I recommended using a 9V battery if anyone wanted to try this at home! HOWEVER, that was just a formality - there's no possible danger from using a 12v train controller in water - as long as the main power supply doesn't get splashed! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha my pleasure - it was definitely fun! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Wow that sounds incredible Jackie - I'd love to see that!! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

steamerthesteamtrain The southern 0-4-0 is reported to have pulled hundreds of coaches up the lickey incline with no support, it’s an absolute beast of a locomotive

@@cyrusbahmaie3580 Woah What The-

Ooh blimey, quite a controversial view there, lol! ;D You reckon?? I might have to try the pulling test! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hmmm yeah - you could return it if it arrived damaged - how long have you had it?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Sam'sTrains I had it for 2 days now. It had a detail pack with no reversing rod on it just see a little slot where it originally was.

meme me too! I was worried I would ruin it for nothing!! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha thank you - glad you liked the water music! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha I know - I couldn't believe it either!! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

That's a good idea - yeah they are pretty strong - it would be good to test them! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha you reckon?! Crazier than the speed run?! lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains yeah WAY crazier then the speed challenge o can you do a servicing a trackmaster locomotive please sorry if i hurt your feelings Sam,s Trains

Hey Chris - yeah that's a common issue with the Oxford Adams Radial tanks - their motors have an uncanny tendency to burn out or fail. My EKR green version is the worst - it's actually a pretty poor runner! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Oh thanks for that! Mine has been used literally 3 times. Never run long, and only light loads. This was after about 5 minutes of running on half power, so a slow unlabored speed, and it was hot ish to the touch and smelt hot but not dangerous hot. Just hot. So I stopped it. I’m pretty disappointed with that. I hoped for better considering the high standard of the rest of the loco!!

haha thanks Paul - I never thought it would either, but it was surprising! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Ahh really?? I'll have to look that up - thanks for the info! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha I thought so too - pretty impressive stuff! haha yeah - I guess that could've been nasty!! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Coming soon - that one's well in hand! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah generally speaking it's a pretty good set - but the models are pretty basic, so make sure you don't pay too much for it! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains thanks for the advice!

haha me too!! :D

Yep they do indeed! Do you not get issues with the high current draw then, as I did here?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha, I like to think that! ;D

I think they’re DCC concepts ones, mine came from EBay! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

YEAH! IT IS A LITTLE SIMILAR!! :D

That's a solid idea - I'll have to try that!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah it was cool! I can't remember now, I deleted it after putting this video out :( Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha!! ;D

Yeah I agree - that's the conclusion I drew too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Ahh really?? I'll have to check that out, thanks for letting me know! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EpWsM2gsqc4.html

I bought it on Ebay - I forget the brand now... it might have been DCC concepts! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains your welcome

haha oh dear - that must have been a big loss - did it rust up?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha that's a cool idea - I guess the track would probably fail though, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains possibly... You could try x

Yeah! That's what I'm thinking of doing - wouldn't that be great?? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

HAHA ME TOO - IT DID HAVE THE SAME DRAMA ABOUT IT!

haha yeah - I was half hoping for some drama though - I even thought about adding salt, just for a laugh! I like the idea of upside down running - I reckon it can be done! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hey! If you wait around for just a while, I'm uploading a video all about 0-4-0s, and why they're called that - stay tuned!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha I agree - it certainly had to be tried! Although water does conduct electricity, the resistance in water is actually pretty high - especially if it's fresh water with no salt! There will have been some current flowing between the rails (as evidenced by the bubbles), but the resistance would be too high to cause a short! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha oh dear.... I'm impressed that it's still okay though! ;D Merry Christmas - Sam :)

Hey! You'll need to thoroughly clean the track, making sure all fishplates are making good contact! Make sure the loco wheels are good and clean too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Thx

haha!! We figured it out ;) Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah it could, I'm sure - great idea!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

@@SamsTrains fantastic channel Sam I think its possible I know that oo gauge works outside I have done it but to have a layout that works by its self would be awesome just think if it works and you built it you would be the first wow if I get time I think I will see if it can be done thanks sam

haha!! ;D

haha! That one might be a few years yet! xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Uh oh!!! :(

haha!! Welcome to the future! ;D

haha that's awesome! Yeah most electronics can survive in oil - quite nicely too - water is the killer, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Thanks Blue - hope you enjoy it!! :D

John

haha that's awesome - I'd love to see those at 500mph! What's John?!?! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Smoket joe can go at like 200mph in train simulator

haha, I guess it would work if it was brief enough! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah! That'd stop the electrolysis, and you could use higher voltage without issue then, true! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Ooh really?? I'll have to look that up - it sounds awesome! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah! I think the resistance of water is far too high for that - but it did work pretty well! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

I didn't think so either - I'm impressed! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yeah I reckon I have a few that could do that - some are very strong! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha - but it didn't die in vain, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha!! It certainly will... if it can still communicate! xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha thank you! Absolutely - I thought I'd made a revolutionary discovery! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Thanks very much mate! No sadly, she's still dead - I'll need a new chassis for her! Ahh sorry to hear that - at least you had fun though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha now that'd be an idea, lol!! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

haha thank you! :D

You know, I think I will! :D

That's pretty awesome!! Hope you enjoy yourself!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Yep! It does indeed, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Thanks very much Mike - physics is so much fun! Haha yeah I am indeed! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hey Sam how far of a walk is it to the mountain?
