My ENTIRE Model Train Collection (2024) 150+ Models! - Tug's Trains 

No worries unlucky tug

Unforgivable, I am reporting you to the train police.

Oh well we all make mistakes sometimes 🤷‍♂️

Alllll good! Cool collection, I’m jealous 🤣

Actually bill and Ben’s faces are swapped

Yeah I think so too

No way, I don’t believe this!

He seams like a plane guy I think

Nah he seems more of a car guy

Nah

That is AMAZING! I had no idea! Thank you for making the case for Toby!

@@TheUnluckyTug_official oh and BTW that electric loco you really liked, that wasn't ours, it was by Heljan. 🤣

Every credit to you, I had 127 and carriages running around my Christmas tree, perfect blend of realism and RWS representation.

@@TheUnluckyTug_officialyou work is amazing

Funny about this! I was going over my xopy of Yeadon's Register of LNER Locomotives: Volume 48, which lists the J70 Class. Wilbert Awdry stated in his "Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways" that while Toby could have been 68221/127, he never explicitly confirmed it. Like I did with other characters, in order to fill gaps in what I like to take as finishing something Wilbert Awdry never got the chance to, I checked the J70 allocation details in the Yeadon Book, and matched them up to the history of the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway. I found that 68217/136 of 1903-vintage, unlike 68221, worked from the beginning of its life at Wisbech and, apart from one winter stint at Colchester, was not transferred away until the arrival of the first Class 04 Diesels in 1952. I thought that alone aligns so well with the Toby we all know, and giving a solid foundation for his dynamic with Henrietta too. 68217 was thus withdrawn from service in March 1953 with a newish boiler fitted as late as 1949, which adds something as well to the condition Toby would have been in when purchased - initially transferred - by Sir Topham Hatt. The tramline Toby would have worked, I ascertained to have been a branch to Wisbech St. Mary. I used the same Yeadon Book to ascertain another Sodor Resident attached to Edward's Branch Line: the first-built J68 Class 0-6-0 Tank No. 41/7041, which in 1940 was sold to the War Department and never returned, being scrapped at Faslane Shipbreakers in Scotland by 1952. In my take, Toby met an engine aptly dubbed Celia while their basis engines were in Stratford Works upon the outbreak of WW2. Not forgetting her telling story, Toby advocated for Sir Topham Hatt to give her the second chance he got, and she was saved in a position of being dismantled for spare parts on the spot. What do you think? Regards, Samuel Farris.

yeah lol

There's quite a plethora of videos about our rail network as it was in the pre-Amtrak era and many more exist of rail post-Amtrak.

@@Matts_Conrail_Chicago_Mainline Well, to be fair, the middle railroad Penn Central could have been better. But, that was a bad idea. Merging two railroads with different corporate structures, and then shotgun-forcing PC to take in the NH as a condition of the merger didn't help matters.

Well you beat me to it 😆

​@@RailRocket05well he said he loves Atlantics so I'm going to say this " I wanted a Atlantic he said BUT THAT ________ ________ ____ SENT ME THIS

Yea, Rosie was a surprise, so was Oliver

That epic moment when my heckin girlfriend refused to buy me the reddit gold OR any new tommy the choo choo trains (disregard my channel I left this goofy ahh fan base a while ago)

If they re-release the Stirling Singles, I’d love it if they could manufacture the domed variants.

They are?!?!?!?

@@Canadiansteamengine43 yeah. They made a whole announcement video for both.

They're also doing the Bill/Ben livery that Alfred wore. Which is cool.

@@Richardblue1963 wait really?

Project G-1 moment

How to break your phone

I once took it one night and returned it before he woke up

same here. bachmann is our only hope at this point.

Damn right

Plarail is still making old thomas stuff, I think

@@Canadiansteamengine43 nope, we've lost them to all engines go too.

@@locobuff345 they still making older ones, they're just not releasing new ones

“Dick Hardy”.

​@@darkassassin395best engine name ever

Fun fact: there WAS an LNER V2 named "The King's own Yorkshire Light Infantry"

Don't forget Cock O The North.

@@darkassassin395Named after someone within the Severn Valley Railway I believe

Diesel Rosie and Derek

Go Big or Go Home is the American Way for Steam Engines

​@@SONICX1027too bad from what I hear they don't care for preservation as much as other countries

It's especially funny when you consider the American engines are built to a smaller scale than the British ones. British trains are modeled in 1/76th scale, American and mainland European ones are 1/87th scale. So the size difference is even more pronounced in real life.

That’s sweet! Best of luck to you!

@@amazi6542 thank you!

Just curious, what model did you start with?

@@reeheehee9615 I’m Australian, so my partner bought me a C38 Pacific (one of my favourite locos). I’ve currently got a Hornby P2 on order waiting to be delivered - so those are my starting two.

@@cz.gazz. I actually work (volunteer) at a railway in NSW Australia, the Cooma Monaro Railway, hope we can meet one day and best of luck with your layout!

well AMTRAK still has them in service for godsake

@@chrismrugala6696yeah as NPCUs

I love those! My bachman spectrum version is a really beefy boy, and it's almost as old as me. I love it

Please tell me there's a locomotive named "Potoooooooo" (pronounced pot-eight-o's) somewhere.

@@Tiggeralt the mail line ancestor most thoroughbreds live today? I can check.

I haven’t found one yet. It may have existed, but I haven’t found one yet.

Most of the Quarry Hunslets were named for racehorses, Holy War sounding especially metal.

It's time for me to ask him to suggest making thomas allen

You'd need a LOT of money to get a collection of this size, just so you know.

Just build it up nice and slowly

With the motor removed

I got that Loco too!
