Nice love your videos that's awesome
Really special. Reminds us of our wooden brio sets from 21 years ago. So much fun, wooden tracks and trains throughout our different rooms in our home back then. Gary
We’ve got those, too! Can’t fit both in the playroom so it’s either one or the other, depending on what kinda trains he’s feeling 😅
@@Dadified86same here in my small room
Hot wheels made trains!!!!
I wish they would bring them back...
I was today years old when I found out hot Wheeles made trains
Yeah most folks don’t know they ever existed. Would be neat to see them return but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
@@Dadified86honestly, I wish they could bring them back, especially Thomas since Mattel owns Thomas Now
I happen to have 2 of those Hot Wheels Sto & Go, but the only locomotives I got are the Santa Fe diesels (One I turned into a Norfolk Southern Diesel), Chesapeake and Ohio Diesel, Burlington Northern, and Amtrak
Great to see these old toys being treated as they should!
We’re thoroughly enjoying them! And he’s actually pretty gentle with them. Sometimes he’ll bump a track or break a tab but I can always fix em.
I wish I had more of these besides my 2 GP40s I found at a Flea Market for $10, they still need track and rolling stock, but when o save up my money, I can probably buy some rolling stock or a lot of tracks and trains, but only time will tell, but “time doesn’t want to speak” so we don’t know until we get to that point I guess, though my mom is hiring me to help her look on eBay for things to sell at Secondhand Stores, and I will get paid, so I can get money and use it to buy items once I get an account of course
Hi dadified do you know how much these trains are today? They look super awsome and fun!
It really depends on the condition. The collectable NIB examples are quite expensive, but if you’re looking for ones to run for fun like we are, you can find em anywhere between $10-$20 per car or train. That’s how we’ve come across most of ours. A few of the sets came with trains, too so finding bundles of those have helped. Just take a scroll through eBay for “Hot Wheels Railroad”
I had the Hot Wheels "Power Express" train set at one point, it was a pretty neat set too!
I’ve seen those show up a few times while searching for these ones. From what I can tell nothing between them is compatible which is a shame.
@@Dadified86 yes, they're not compatible, nor did they make any additional track sets for it.
@@BoardGamesBricksHobbies the trains aren't even the same track gauge?
Dude, I got the Chessie System and Rio Grande GP40s today for $10
Great finds!! Is your Chessie the lighter or darker blue variation?
@@Dadified86 darker I think
Any info you have on that steamer you have on the layout? I'd like to get one for myself.
I made a video covering all of the designs released for the Hot Wheels Railroad line. Give that a watch for more info on it!
Where do you guys get the trains at?
Some I had already but the recent additions have all been eBay finds
Where can you buy this hot wheels train set (also the expansion
Auction sites and collectors sales are about the only places to find them.
But, what sites can I get this expansion and trucks and trains from these auction sites and collectors@@Dadified86
If I ever end up with an engine from this series, I would probably find some way to motorize it, it's just too model-esqe not to try.
Honestly with how easily these can derail, it’s probably best to push em along. Powering them would probably just increase the derailments and frustration 😂

Hot wheels trains half realistic instead of cars is kinda rated
