    That smile on the kids face is what makes the hobby worth being in. Getting kids to experience trains is the only way that defunct railroad's legacies will live on. You went the extra mile and likely made that kid love steam engines for the rest of their life. 👍

    It's not just all the young folks that love model trains. I'm 62yrs old and have always loved them since my father got me playing with trains when I was just a child. The magic of model trains never disappears. Just recently getting back to someone I love and started setting up the old train track to enjoy while I still can. I know my father is smiling down on me from Heaven.

In addition to the Triplex you've given him a memory he'll treasure for the rest of his life which can be another 75 years or more.

Thank you Chris for showing everyone how to get the younger generation involved in this hobby. I wish that we were neighbors. You are a very special person.

    Well this was amazing. Ive always wanted to get to a point where giveaways and raffles were something I could offer and be part of, but I don't have much of an audience to host such things. Being able to give back and encourage others is an important part of any hobby. Model railroading can definitely benefit from it long term. Lionel with there VL BB Giveaway, train clubs doing raffles and giveaways, and things like this are great steps in the right direction. The Triplex will hopefully be in that boys life for a longtime and keep him inspired. Tip of the cap to you RBP on this one.

    Hey RBP, as a viewer from Canada theres one train set i think would look lovely on your set, its called the Royal Hudson, it's a Hudson engine that ran on the Canadian Pacific line from the late 1930s to 1960, some of the engines were still used for special events until 2010 where the last Royal Hudson ran, but i think it'd look beautifully running along with some of the other passenger trains

    Katy boy. Sorry I missed you. Chris said you were at lunch. Dang it.
    Nicely done. That kid was tickled &&&$$@@ less. Your generosity is beyond commendable. Someone far wiser than I whispered in my ear “thou shall reap what thou sows.” Positive synergy. Keeps our hobby alive.

    Hey Chris! Your channel is my favorite I subscribe to - not only trains, but overall. Now I know why. The old adage "It's better to give than receive" has often been lost in this materialistic world, but you showed how one random act of kindness can really make a difference. The best part is the joy on that kid's face when he blew the whistle! Maybe others will be inspired to do the same. You picked a great family to give your beloved train to. God Bless everyone involved. Thanks for this video. I needed it. Keep up the good work.

    That smile was huge. I don’t know what was bigger the train or the smile 😂. You know he will probably will hold on to that train for a long time. The triplex is cool but to have a triplex from mr. RBP is going to make that engine way cooler. Especially when you have video proof.
