Lego Rewind Ep.18- Trains 

Guys, I know it's Olton Hall, not Jacobite. Several people have notified me. You can stop. I'll correct myself in a future video.

There's something purely satisfying about seeing a train or three run around a complete track with tunnels, bridges and stations.

6:57 "On the next episode of Lego Rewind, Nick escapes to the ONE place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.....sPaCe!"

Now that’s getting back “on track”...

I was thinking the exact same thing about old people like me that love trains so it is a good retort to those that criticize adults that like LEGO. I wish they would get back to some of the fan designs like with the My Own Train. And the individual train car and engine packs. Trains are the biggest draw at shows next to the GBC and yet LEGO continues to neglect it

Ur channel too underrated

Cool vid, love the walk through the years!

Sorry I had to keep editing this, guys. Here's the final version of the episode. I seriously hope I didn't kill any potential this had to take off like other episodes.

Proof Lego's older sets are better than the present ones.

My own train sets were great. I think this line would sell like crazy if they brought it back and advertised it properly.

"I like trains"

I always enjoy watching this series. A quick look at the past and nostalgic memories. Something unique.

I wish My Own Train was revived. They are drastically more affordable than modern Lego trains. $40 USD for a Santa Fe F-unit, in 2003? Even when adjusted for inflation that's still only $55 dollars! Even for a Lego Train (and for a Model Train in general) that's affordable. That would never happen nowadays with Lego. *sigh* they looked cool too, it seemed briefly Lego wanted to seriously compete in the Model railroading scene (aside from the 80's anyways) and that would have made them an interesting contender in the business had they continued. great video as usual!

Oh my god, my dad and his brothers, growing up in the 70s and early 80s, had those blue train tracks! My grandmother kept them long after, and I still remember playing with them! Ahh, good times.

Traaaaains.... Legooooss.... Combinnnne.... lol I remember looking at those "My Own Train" sets in the Lego Magazine... heck I probably still have it. I've kept so many Lego magazines because I just loved how some sets looked. I wanted one of those trains so bad. wish I had more room to actually make my own train diorama.. very nice video.

One of those adult model railroaders here. We have been getting more and more lego trains at our train shows. Lego trains has really, and rightfully so, entrenched itself in the hobby and is amazing the more I look at it. The homebrews of locos are amazing too.

ah trains. Thomas the tank engine always spooked me out as a kid, had a friend back in elementary who was so obsessed with trains God rest his soul. glad to hear your novel is taking flight.

3:41 That yellow and black train takes me back. I absolutely loved it when I was little.

Wow, I really didn't knew how old the train sets were. They looked realistic for what they are. Also Discovery sets hype. I loved the realistic space sets. I really want the Saturn V.

the early 2000s trains were the best!

I recently rebuilt my old lego emerld night, kinda ship of theseused the whole thing together, and it made me remember that trains used to be one of my earliest obsessions next to lego and by proxy lego trains were my bread and butter. Your video is a great look back at the whole evolution of this "subseries" and seeing all the trains over time brings back a bit of kid me.

YES! IVE WAITED FOR THIS EPISODE!!!

"i like trains"

I've got my first lego train ever a month ago and it's awesome to see such a great episode about them

I’ve always liked the designs and color changing concepts of My Own Train. Very unique models that serve well nowadays. One system I’ve always wanted to try was 12Volt. To me this seems very close to model trains in terms of controls and I love the interface setup for multiple buttons. If I can’t own them, I’d at least like to test run someone else’s.

The series I always wanted as a kid

Don't forget the awesome subway-train from the Spider-Man theme. Awesome video!

I've never been very interested in the LEGO trains myself, but you just make it sound all so interesting!

Loved the use of the Jacobite pics with Lord of the Isles...

Yo that green train brought back all the memories. My family bought it for me which at that time was like a€100 euro set. I only ever got small poly bags or low range sets unless it was a birthday where I might get a mid range of I was lucky. I always poured through the Lego annual gawking at the size and price of sets. My mum always told me to try and build that yourself which improved my creativity immensely but I was about 6 when she got that train for me and it was one of the best birthdays of my life

4:05 Honestly I'd love for LEGO to do that with things like Jedi Starfighters and Interceptors from Star Wars

Trains are my favorite Lego things to make aside from Space stuff, specifically steam locomotives.

Lego trains look really cool, even if I've never bought one.

I wish they'd remaster My Own Train. That subline is too iconic.

Man I have to say you have an amazing channel that’s still deserving WAY more views. Your voice is really nice and I love how much effort you put in your vids!

With regards to adults and trains, a guy I served with is doing the same job he had in the Navy, but for more money as a Merchant Marine. He builds train sets in his free time. In fact, during the early days of the pandemic, he was stuck on ship for about four months to protect ship's company from the 'rona.

You might say: "I like Trains."

I never knew there were Thomas Lego sets! I would have KILLED for those when I was little!

yep the space train was the most amazing shit Lego ever pulled hands down

5:59 And then there's Thomas.... That was a thing for a while.... Also awesome video!

I remember seeing the LEGO Trains in catalogs in the early 2000's and that was what got me into LEGO in the first time.

I always appreciated the working pistons on the duplo thomas sets

"...with a variety of shapes that give them a gentle giant sort of character" ... while Devil's Train plays in the background. It's killing me.

My grandmother gave me my father’s old train 7722 steam cargo train and I love it

Who doesn't love trains? Someone who lives in a city in the middle of a continent that doesn't have enough train infrastructure so that the cat-demon in question has to stop and wait for trains all. The. Time. Welcome to Winnipeg.

I might not be a lego fan but I absolutely love this series. It's very nice to watch these. I've been feeling pretty bad recently due to personal life but these episodes really help me relax whenever I watch them. Keep up the good work

Train sets are the bomb

Those trains look so cool

I'm sorry if someone already said this little story... I remember there was a boy with Asperger syndrome called James Groccia that tried to save money so he can buy the Emerald Night set, only to find out that LEGO doesn't produce it anymore. His parents tried to find a way to buy the set but the ones left were too expensive. So LEGO send him the Emerald Night set as a gift. That's one of the sweetest things LEGO ever did for a fan. :D

You know whats the best part of your videos? You give the name of all your music tracks and of external footage. That alone makes you remarkable

Better than RU-vid rewind

When I saw this video I got hyped

Another great episode and I really enjoyed the comparisons to real world trains. I have experienced building and rolling some old and some new and I must say, while designs have changed and been more accurate, there are some old ones that stand their ground and have a distinct look and feel on the rails. Good background track, always good to hear that song pop up. And I didn’t know they made a wooden train in the mid 1930’s in wood! Great information and I should credit you in my bizarre LEGO book which has a section outlining the evolution of LEGO trains.

yeah boy! New lego rewind!

My dad had one of the 4.5v trains from his youth, but he introduced it to us at a too early age and we eventually ended up ruining it out of curiousity. It did have a ton of the blue track-pieces, though. Eventually, years later, I got one of the later 9V trains from the City line and really enjoyed it. It's really cool how you can combine it with the RCX Mindstorms series (it was never marketed as compatible, but our nonconductive older tracks becomes really usefull that way).

Probably my two single favorite lego trains was the Emerald Night and the Maersk SD-40. I loved those sets. I wish they actually sold the seatron monorail tho

God, just imagine an action line centered on trains. Something like a mix between Snowpiercer and the Space factions where entire societies live in these super-trains and try to either cooperate to get where they need to go, or hoard stretches of railway for themselves. Some are more modest, but some are outfitted with all sorts of gadgets and weapons, and some might even stretch the definition of trains entirely and just be "A vehicle that happens to be compatible with train rails" or even just huge monsters that took over the husk of a train and might be the reason why people live in them to start with; Because using anything else meant the monsters had free range of movement instead of being limited to the rails.

When i was young i always gotten at least one of train sets on christmas.

Ive been waiting ages for a new episode, and the wait was worth it!

Still better than 2018 rewinds 😉

I would love to find many million people who want to change the thinking of lego. They should do a new 9V line when they want to make money

I love when you put in the pictures from the beginnings of lego, it's like archeology! I never saw this first iteration of minifigs :D I personally out grew lego, not a fan in my adult life, but I guess I have a thing for nostalgia...

Hell yeah TRAINS!!! I loved trains when I was little, Thomas was my homie, I had so many of those duplo Thomas sets😂😂

I miss my 7722 Freight train set, and the 6990 space monorail. I remember wanting to expand the monorail, but never had the chance. Those monorail sets are going for £500 on eBay easy!

I recently rebuilt the 2001 Hogwarts Express. New one is probably nicer but I love having a train again. I completely forgot about "My Own Train" but now I remember really wanting the green version of it as a kid.

I really love trains!

Damn, how did I never notice the Factory Train set when I was younger? That would've been the shit.

Man, knowing this history now?? I feel young... Like -33 years younger.

thank god youre continueing the series

This is absolutely my FAVORITE one! These sets were beautiful. Metroliner is a very beautiful set and the Santa Fe Cheif. I would love for Lego to rebuild those sets. Like do sets on a CN, CSX, NS, Amtrak and Metra sets.

Aw, I was secretly hoping the Twisted Time Train would show up. What was also nice with old trains is backwards compatibility by design. I remember when they changed 4.5V to 9V catalogs would have dedicated blurbs saying how older sets will work just fine with newer ones (somewhat topical as it turns out power functions and power up seems to be lacking that sort of interplay).

I got a 9V 4564 set for Christmas in '94. I couldn't believe how much smoother it ran compared to my 027 Lionel set. Great fun for me being 9yo at the time.

Thank you for this amazing video! ❤

New trains this year! Also for a terrific deal for what's included.

It was another 3 years until we got new trains

Hello, I found you about a week or two ago and this channel is great! You definitely just earned a sub :)

The prototype theme seatron was going to have an underwater monorail but the theme was cancelled because the futuron monotail didnt sell well

Funny that LEGO is Danish, yet they ever made any Danish looking trains to Lego, only DB (German Railways) Train and other US and Europe based trains

Yes! Another episode!

awwwww yeah, new episode!

Thank you for this rewind, I love trains

Trains... I love trains, they were a part of my childhood and I still love em’ I still have the thomas toys and some model trains, but you know what I hate? Those asshats who say that liking and playing with trains is childish, to them I give them a big middle finger

There’s a new Lego train on Lego ideas with 3.9k supporters called Toronto Rocket Subway Train and it looks pretty cool so you should support it

I so like how at the 0:37 mark I see a model railroad with none other then th 20th century limited train shows up

Now,all we seem to get is the same old passenger and freight trains every couple of years.I’m hoping for a Flying Scotsman Set in 2023 (100 years).

The Thomas Duplo sets were actually the only Lego trains I've ever owned...

turns out i actually have a shell truck from the shell train set. its missing 2 1x2 red plates off the top but its the same one. i got given it as a gift a fe years back to go with my shell ferrari polybags and always wondered what set it came from since it's pretty old. i also got a small boat and a small exploriens set along with it, but those were more obvious as to what themes they came from

Wow I really want that Lego Super Chief set! That is literally my favorite train of all time (I have a model train of it), probably because of the colors and the fact it went through my city Albuquerque! I never knew Lego made a set of it until now! Too bad that's it's probably too much nowadays! :( I wish they can make another version of it (and maybe more real trains) once again some day!

One of my dad’s favourite themes however he stopped collecting after the blue tracks

You should do one for the ultra agents

Hooh boi... Discovery theme? That one sounds interesting. Great vid, btw. Didn't know this set line started that early!

I still have that ' my own train ' set. And even a cowboy style train. But it was different... i can't remember it...

A subway train operator for the Toronto Subway has made a Lego Toronto subway train for Lego Ideas.

I used to have some LEGO Duplo Thomas And Friends characters such as Thomas,Percy,Gordon,James,Toby,Salty,Troublesome Truck and Cranky and i also have two LEGO City trains such as a Passenger train with remote control and Cargo train with remote control

It's unfortunate LEGO doesn't do trains too much anymore tbh.

5:40 Nice talk about the new Hogwarts Express, but I'm a guy based on realism... They need to add more pistons, and move the main piston up to the middle.

3:31 this one double decker wagon goes for over like $400 used nowadays 😬

5:32- sorry to nitpick here but the Jacobite is the service between fort William and mallaig, the steam engine used for the hogwarts express was 5972 Olton Hall which has now been retired and is on static display.

6:26 love that custom

They should have more sets like make my own train!!! Cuz that concept sounded real neat!!;)
