"Tell her to give me 10 minutes" was probably the funniest part of the whole video. This was certainly a fun one!
Had to be ready for anything, haha!
@@RBPTrains i love steam engine you should make a video about runing just steam engines and add some thomas and friends engines in there
Even funnier, the video ends nearly 10 minutes later
Maddux is here

Hoping to see the Santa Fe 2-10-10-2 and the Big Boy passing each other on the new bridges someday soon. ❤
You bet!
“Tell her to give me 10 minutes” was easily the best line I’ve heard from a model railroader. While all these were cool to see at their top, and the AEM7 was definitely my top favorite, I would have loved to have seen a 999, if you have one, running on this layout next to the Hudson’s at top speed. Thanks for sharing!
The PRR S1 duplex was rated for 120mph according to a book I have.
Love the new look of the layout. Those wide curves sure make it easier to run the big engines.
Will need to get the PRR S1 on deck again soon. Thanks for watching!
Don't forget that locomotive also got a speeding ticket for 156 mph
The S1 could have easily gone 130 if it wanted too (The Dreyfus could get up too 123 as well)!
I personaly liked the Big Boy 4014 its a massive locomiotive pulling massive consist of cars and to see it at speed is amazeing.
Love seeing the Big Boy at speed! (The freight train at speed is great, too)
The Big Boy always looks cool running fast. So many moving parts. Thanks for watching!
One thing to keep in mind with top rated speeds for the real thing is that it's likely only on straightaways, just like cars on roads speeds need to be brought down on curves. I remember a few years ago an Amtrak wreck the stated cause was they were running too fast through a curve, engineer didn't brake or let off his straight line speed. Looks cool though, especially the toaster (probably because anyone in the NE has likely seen them fly past that fast!)
You’re probably thinking about the 2015 derailment in Philadelphia. Due to being rocked, radio chatter about it, or both, the engineer unfortunately lost track of where he was. He thought he just passed Frankford Junction which is limited to 50 mph instead of coming up to it.
Layout is looking great! I can’t imagine what it would feel like trackside with a big boy blasting by at 80 mph. Had to be scary enough running the model at that speed. Loved the video.
Thank you for the well done video. The Dreyfuss Hudsons were known for hauling the Century at speeds hitting 80 mph at times before the end of WWII when speed restrictions were put into place. The C&O Alleghenies that were equipped for passenger train service during WWII were known for hauling 30 plus heavy weight Pullmans at 65 mph. Those were either troop, hospital or POW trains. This has been documented in Eugene Huddleston's Allegheny, Lima's Finest. Your layout is looking great with all the changes you've done. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this great info @allegheny48!
This was my favorite video you’ve made. I love running fast and the kids do too. So cool, keep it up!
Thanks Dan! I had a good time recording this one!
I once motor-swapped an HO 0-4-0 dockside switcher engine... it did about 190 scale MPH. I love how quirky HO can be sometimes
The 20th Century Limited crossing that bridge is just phenomenal Chris. Loving every minute of your videos. Let's get that Acela up to scale speed.🚄
Your curve radius allows for top speed without derail so you’re fine if anything, a good idea is banking the tracks it helped me a while back.
The Dreyfus Hudson had to be my favorite too. I have a friend who has a HO layout and has one and he always lets me run it at his house. Such a beautiful locomotive. Always love the Hudsons. Another great video!
I can't get enough Hudsons! Thanks for watching @South East Railfan!
Me too. Especially the Hiawatha hudsons.
I especially love the freight train pulled by the Big Boy! It looks so handsome.
I’d have to say the Dreyfus Hudson was my fave. It and N&W J Class 611 are the definition of American streamlining to me.
Just seeing your new layout is jaw dropping and just can only say it looks amazing 🤩
Thank you! Been lot's of late nights these past two weeks
Those trains looked great going over the new bridge, my favorite ones that you ran were the Bigboy, the Santa Fe F units, and the Hudson.
NER looks cool passing over the lower main line with that great bridge. Good video Chris
I absolutely love the new mountain. Looks amazing!
I like the layout changes. I love running trains fast myself.
Amazing video RBP!! I love the humor and the new layout design!!! Keep up the amazing work brother! (Also there’s nothing much more impressive than seeing UP4014 moving near that fast in real life! I live along the UP Choctaw Subdivision that the 4014 went down in 2021, so I chased her nearly 200 miles and caught her going well over 50mph! Thanks for bringing back memories!)
The layout is looking great, I love the new bridges!!
Layout modifications look great, Chris! Fun to run fast for a change, but much more enjoyable to watch the trains when they aren't zipping past in a blur. Glad you were spared any derailments.
Thanks @J Batman! Somehow I avoided any accidents in this video. I am not always so lucky!
I think the more streamlined the engines are, the faster they should go. What is the point in having a slow streamliner right? If you are going to have a slow train then you might as well get a shay or something with a flat front and a slow top speed.
Wow! Very fun and informative session. I thought Dreyfus looks great in box but you took it to another level at speed! Prototype speeds brilliant! Keep enjoying hobby and having fun. Thank you
We all need a warehouse to run trains.a nice 200 foot run.your layout looks great and your collection is top shelf
This is litterally the most exiciting thing i have watched in a while!!
A very enjoyable video!
Your scenery is looking great.
And the trains look awesome crossing the new bridges.
Thanks for sharing your fun!
Yo yo! Glad to see the layout coming together! The wide curves sure make for a smooth turn.
I had to rewind back this scene 2:06....love that engine wall and all the beautiful engines. 😍
Chris awesome video. Love seeing all of those trains running fast!! The Dreyfus Hudson is one of my favorites as well. Wish Lionel would re-release it as a Vision Line model
2:35 "DPU Alright!!!" - Wide World of Trains (probably)
This layout already looks so much better than the previous one!
Great video, the speed of the big boy with two sets of side rods in action was go to see! Awesome, Thanks
Great video. I was surprised how fast the older trains ran. It might be interesting to see how much the engines can pull on flat vs grades..
I absolutely am in love with your Santa Fe passenger train !!!! Beautiful beautiful beautiful.. Great video too !! Kept that very entertaining !
A fun and interesting running session, Chris! It's amazing what the engineering and construction of these steam engines were able to achieve in speed and durability considering the weight they were tasked with hauling. Mind boggling! As for favourites, I'd pick the Dreyffus Hudson because of it's 'modern' design. Btw, did you know that Dreyffus designed the most popular desk top dial phone used in North America? It was a staple in homes and offices for many decades.
I had no idea about the phone. Kinda sad I didn't know that considering I work in telecommunications. Thanks for the info!
Very cool and creative video. I don’t believe that I have seen anyone run scale locomotives at speed. It provides a very unique perspective.
Great video, love the fast trains, love that Big Boy, keep em coming Chris
I love what you done to your layout
Thanks Jim!
Love the trains and the speed they're going!
AEM-7s are my favourite electric engines, and its sad to hear that they got retired, some great engines.
I think it makes them more realistic when running at scale speed. I was impressed. Thanks for the video.
Love seeing the high speeds and the new scenery! I'm sure it's good for the engines' motors to run faster every now and then.
Thanks Patrick! The scenes really transformed the whole layout. One of my good friends and model railroad techs once said, "The best thing you can do to the trains is run them". I agree with you that it is good to get them rolling fast from time to time :)
Just love it .fantastic . you know how to build trains on your side of the pond.
Great video, really like the changes to the layout.
The Dreyfus Hudson kicks ass that's the one I'm talking about that I like and is so streamlined too
Nothing better than a RBP train’s video love your content man
Thanks for your support @BatStick!
Great video -- I'm still chuckling over you holding the blanket as a last-ditch safety precaution against a high-speed derailment. Speed is a great topic (unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to do much of this kind of testing on my 0-31 loop.) Keep up the great work -- and congrats on getting TrainZ as a sponsor -- they're a great outfit.
Thanks Stephen! I was relieved when the Dreyfuss stayed on the track. Was really expecting it to derail!
I always find your videos interesting and fun to watch
Another great video and the new Layout configuration really shows off your trains ! The continuous return loops is really the ultimate for O-Scale trains ! Love to see some Golden Memories Williams trains running on your Layout ! 😁🚂😁🚂😁🚂
Thanks Tony! I only have one Williams engine but it is overdue for some runtime. Need to get it on a video soon!
Chris, I really loved this topic, and it really puts things into perspective to see how trains look at a prototypical speed. I'm a very "slow" train running person, that Hudson made my nervous 😊
I was really afraid the Hudson would fly off the track but it held on like a champ. The camera video actually made it look less intense than it was in real life but oh well! Take care my friend :)
Your trains look fantastic running at prototypical speeds!
Nice work on your addition. Can't wait to see the end result.
Go Big Boy !!
Thanks @EG22H!
That new upper line really is perfect for highballing! Fun video! 🔥
Wow just a great video!!! I loved your layout before but I love it even more !!!
Thanks Sean! Looks like you have been working on your layout as well. Looks great!
I recently bought a ho scale p2 cock o the north. And i will run it at full speed once in a while for a few seconds. I love the mechanism when its moves
Hello RBP this is Cole I am 11 years old and I am starting my own gauge train layout and you Have been a lot of help teaching me what to do
Hahaha this was awesome 👌
The layout is looking amazing sir. Nice wirk.
The big boy is such a beautiful train!
Awesome video! One of your best ever! The only one of my trains that I've run up over 100 SMPH is my RailKing M-10000. On others I'd be nervous about heat issues if running them above about 40 SMPH outside of a short spurt like I'm sure you did for your video.
God Bless you for doing this! I was on the edge of my seat seeing some of these engines ripping past, but boy was it cool to watch!
My favorite engine to see in this video? The toaster. Such a weird design, I love it! And cute backstory of you riding it to see your wife.
Thanks SNER! It really is a weird design. I remember thinking that when the real train would roll into the station back when I was traveling to NYC.
Derfuss is among my favs too. I bought a Lionel Smithsonian model cheap because of bad valve gear which I fixed. GREAT detail!!!! Thx
new addition looking great
Thank you!
Chris. You and BOTH love the Dreyfus Hudson! It's AMAZING!
It really is!
In all honesty and I mean this with the upmost sincerity. I pray your channel grows bigger man. You seem like a cool dude and deserve it.
Appreciate the comment! I wouldn’t be able to make these videos without the support of all the great folks who watch so thank You!
Very cool. I like the Nickname for that AEM-7. Nice to see that Super Chief. Great video as always Chris, Have a great weekend
Thanks! The Plated F7s were long overdue for some run time.
Nothing like a big steamer at speed I love how the pistons spin around
Fast strong and beautiful layout
Very cool, Hudson was really fast
I really like the gray NYC you are running
CSX Employee Here! Coal is my specialty! I run coal trains on the daily. The engines are rated for 70 MPH but on 95% of territory in the US, atleast In my region, the maximum authorized speed is 50 MPH. my territory is straight track and it still is 50. it’s super cool to see them going 70!
Very cool, thanks for the info Steven! I was curious as to the operating speed as the sources I was reading were all over the place. Can't get much better than an actual Operator so much appreciated!
RBP I love your sheer dedication
Great sweeping curves
Thanks Mikey!
As always. you do a fantastic job on your videos!!! I like to see trains run to speed, especially the passenger trains. It give a sense of it actually going somewhere rather than always going through a yard when they move so slow. I too break the model RR rules. haha Those new bridges and the work you did on the scenery gives your layout an absolute new look. Like I told you at York....you could have a TV show. Well.... I guess that comment shows my age hahaha
Thank you Joe! Hard to believe York was a month ago now!
I know I feel the need for speed. Nice!
Speed limits. Who needs those.
And the scenery is coming along very nicely
Exactly! Thanks for watching
@@RBPTrains your welcome
Another great video my friend! Love the bridges, I can’t get over your bridges, I think I’m going to do the same. They remind me of the bridges over the Ohio River here in Cincinnati for CSX.
Thanks @pale horseman! The big bridge was modeled after the Steubenville Railroad Bridge that connects Ohio to WV.
@@RBPTrains I really like them a lot! They’re awesome bridges!
That's one fast toaster. Loved the video.
Thanks Byron!
Big curves are everything. G scale models especially
Love the SP diesel!!
I also love the Dreyfuss Hudson, maybe it's also my favorite US steam engine, but then many of the streamlined Hudsons are so stunning to look at !! I think it looks great at 120 mph.
Now what about the Milwaukee Atlantics, it was the officially fastest steam engine of the world in 1935 (for one year) with officially recorded 112.5 mph! They're said to have done 120 mph in revenue service, which was not recorded though. The Milwaukee F7 Hudson apparently also did 110 mph in daily services and even 125 once ...
Awesome video Chris! I have the NYC Dreyfus from MTH Rail King and it is one of my favorites! Keep up the great work
I saw that on your video the other day. Gotta hang out and run some trains man!
@@RBPTrains always welcome! Check out Liquidity, they are good and across from the Train Depot
I love the Big Boy. It's so iconic.
Agree!
Good to know we share a favourite engine. The Drefuss Hudson is such a beauty, and I want to make a Lego mini figure scale one. Maybe even the entire 1938 9 car consist 20th Century Limited!
This is where having a T1 Duplex would've been really fun/scary. 130 MPH+, according to some reports? Hoo boy
Man love your layout always good videos Getting ready to redo mine!
Thanks Kevin! Have fun with your project as well!
Wow, the New York Central goes really fast that’s so cool😮❤❤
Great video Chris....the Hudson is just bad ass lol. But the Big Boy is pretty awesome also.
All A Board, tutu. That was Kool. Every Christmas I open my Hudson up, you know get the bugs out. 🤣😂 I'm 64, I had it 55 of them, still looks great. Love the layout, needs more water 😄
It does need more water. That is one of the next projects. Thanks for watching!
This is like an episode of the Adams Family......where Gomez crashes some trains ..... the layout looks great..... excellent idea for a video BTW 👌👏👍🦫⛄🇺🇸🎸🎄😎
I was watching that movie the other night and it gave me this idea!
Chris I like. that you are.not afraid to run your trains, I liked all of them especially the Dreyfus!!!! 👍👌😇
Thanks John! I am not much for leaving them on the shelves. I get bored quickly so I am always changing them around, haha!
Very nice & you got some fast trains there, very cool 😎😎
Thanks Gordon!
that was a cool video I really like measuring the physics of reality as well and I am going to have fun copying your layout and building an HO gauge or multi gauge fun Plex of trains in my backyard and I think your layout would be awesome to model❤ Thank you for sharing and for your contributions to the wonderful art
More power 🔋 💪 great job 👏
If you ever get out to Baltimore, they have a beautiful streamlined C/O Hudson in one of their car shops on display. Also, since you like the Big Boy. they also have a monster 2-6-6-6 Allegheny sitting right near it.
i love the trains 🚂 you used because it looked good 👍.
Oh man , what a layout
Impressive layout. I model N-scale and program all locos to prototypical max speed. Surprizingly the trains run well at these speeds.
As you wear a katy shirt it would have been nice to see a katy. Your hudson is a lovely engine. The closest I have would be either the first Hiawatha or the PRR T1
Nice vídeo rbp! Im so happy that you got an amtrak toaster
I still laugh at the fact it's called a Toaster. Thanks for watching!
