2:08 "bash him! bump him!" laughed the 2 cabooses as they bumped into each other hard, this caused one of them to derail on the points, and the other to start rolling back down the hill along with the flatbeds, laughing with glee. This though was short lived, as they weren't going fast enough to roll up the short slope ahead, and rolled right back down.
These are great! 😂 Hopefully, I won't have many of those when I get my layout going (using Bachmann EZ_track, don't know if that will help or not. The re-rail track can't hurt) 🙂
Hey, I have a great idea! Find a couple cars, maybe a loco or two that nobody likes, smear model glue all over them, set them on the track then set them on fire and hit notch 8!! Lol. Then for more thrills, run a section of track out a side door, get some bottle rockets and tie them onto a boxcar, light the fuses and see what happens! Maybe we can simulate an ICBM train launch with the bottle rockets but I think the real one doesn’t take the boxcar up with the ICBM when it launches….lol.
More so the power of sketchy track lol, because this set does fine on other layouts. More fun than blending into the sea of lame NS and CSX around here for sure!
Great videos; love the sound efx:). Has one ever gotten stuck deep in tunnel? Also, how do the cars move w/o engine? Yeah, I'm clueless:/ but enjoy watching & really fascinated by the detail & craftsmanship. Best, Brian
It’s interesting how much speed the runaways get considering model cars have about ten times the rolling resistance by weight as a real car and about one hundredth the weight of a real car’s scale weight.
I’ve always wondered about model train crashes and how much speed they can survive. I saw a video of a G gauge passenger train on an outdoor layout that was easily traveling 200 inches per second. If that train had a head-on collision with another train on the same track also going 200 inches per second, would it withstand that kind of impact or would it be totalled?
@@SCL3618 For many designs used in model trains I think I agree with you... of course it depends on the materials used again. I asked because I want to see what everyones different answer is since I am pretty new at model trains. But I know that if you were dealing with a particularly heavy but tinplate Standard gauge train.... And you had it going 200 inches per second and it has a head on with another train of the same speed... I would bet that in that case, the trains would deform substantially upon smacking, and be totaled, or at least require heavy, heavy professional rebuilding. For modern builds, such as this, you might have to replace some parts, and it may require surgery but still be salvageable.
@@SCL3618 BTW I estimated visually that this train reached speeds of 200 inches per second. I went to the model train speed calculator and for G, it calculated that at 200 inches per second, that is over 300 scale miles per hour. Bullet trains like this do get pretty fast, but I think they top out at under 200 mph. Either this train is exceeding prototypical speed and has a particularly powerful motor, or I overestimated the speed by sight
I really liked this. Reminds me of the oh no segments from I love Toy Trains. Out of curiousity though, anyone know the sound effect at 2:01? That was my favorite one.
@@tesleywhompson9555 Ebay and train shows were my best bet for loading up. Got lucky and found a few batches, so I bought them whenever they popped up locally.
Are you filming these videos at the Goldsborrow North Carolina model railroad club? The one in downtown? Sorry for the weird question but I used to go there as a kid. I live in the UK now but I miss the place. Wish I could visit.
Ok, I've watched 6 of these videos and my conclusion is that whoever is in charge of standards and practices on the layout, especially with regard to track and couplers, should immediately be fired. And possibly fined. A lot.
