Getting the younger generations involved is so important. I attempted to get my girlfriend's youngest son into trains but he's much more interested in video games. Which I understand because I was that age too in the Nintendo and Super Nintendo days. But still.
So true. My interest in both real trains and model trains started young. My late grandfather took me to a couple of train shows when I was only like 7 years old. He also bought me a couple of sets, and my dad built an oval of track on a cut sheet of plywood, which I still have. As I grew up, I admit my interest waned, but amid Covid lockdown, I've rediscovered it. The track is all rusty now, so I'll end up building a duplicate. Nothing elaborate, like a small 4x6 oval to run HO scale trains on.
@@joshuariddensdale2126 My mom had a friend that worked on the railroad. I was too young to remember the specifics but I was around 8 years old or so. And I got to get up into a caboose and the cab of a locomotive. A few years later my dad got me a H.O. scale Life-Like starter set and that really got me started. I had to get rid of the set when we moved a year or two later to a smaller house. But then again as an adult I got back into it. First H.O. scale. and now N scale mostly although I do have most of my H.O. scale and even a few O scale pieces. But I really wish that I could get Jojo into trains. We have even gone to train museums together.
I did not go crazy into the hobby until I was a little older as well. You might be surprised at how a seed you plant now will grow later. Thanks for sharing Shane!
The Spongebob set makes me laugh just for the fact someone at MTH decided that combining Spongebob and trains would be a groundbreaking idea. Although it wasn't, I really wish they made that Spongebob and Patrick operating handcar in 2005... And the fact that set plays the Spongebob theme in revolutionary 144p quality is hilarious.
I absolutely loved this video! The time my father spent with me is exactly why I still love trains today! Thanks for continuing to share the love of the hobby!
Bro, that Spongebob train was sooo fun... And i love the part at 5:42 *"the BIG boy."* So cute :) And the video passed so fast! I enjoyed the entire video, thanks you for share it!
2,744 views and only 351 likes , come on people. This was a fun video that involved the entire family and spotlighted some really random trains. All thumbs up in my book
That Spongebob set is just perfection. It's like a shitpost on wheels. If you can, look for all the pieces to the I Love Toy Trains set. They were all sold separately, but you can find them for good prices on Ebay.
. Dont leave trainroom unattended!.Great getting the kids into it..they're cute..--- yes the SD40 is king! and that alien 51 set was real nice. some beautiful motive power in your collection too. Im more of an ho scaler, but still like the channel...thanks for sharing
Living in Chicago, I have to say you picked a good choice with the 20th century limited. But this was a fun family video. It's great your family got involved and you should have them in more of your videos. Great family time
Great video Chris! Nice seeing the family in the train room with you, even if some were not on camera. You sure do have a beautiful collection of trains!!
Very nice video, loved that you involved the family. The Spongebob train needs an aquarium car with Spongebob and his friends. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Always fun when you get the family involved! My daughter is 23 and has kinda lost that, but its all good. I tell ya Chris, that Black Bonnet is STUNNING!!!!!
Once again another amazing video!! The family who trains together stays together. All of my daughter like when the trains come out at Christmas but it’s my youngest who get the most excited. She’s always been the one creating the annual under the tree layout and even to this day at 23 she keeps the tradition rolling. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to get my permanent layout going and hope that all my kids will be there to lend their support
Loved the video probably the most wholesome thing I’ve seen with trains. You should run of your 3 biggest locomotives in your collection whether they’re steam or diesel together.
I remember the spongebob set, one of my first sets along with the polar express that my grandpas gave to me, so much nostalgia hearing the song playing from the caboose
Excellent video, Chris! Once again you take me back to the I Love Toy Trains years with your shots of the colorful trains. Also, phenomenal job with your shots of the Niagara. Very well done. Nice to see the family involved and excited about trains. We need more of that!
Great video. I enjoy when my daughter and I run trains. Of course, for her, she has declared the Lionel Chessie GS-4 has her train. And she is slowly gathering a decent set of various Chessie freight cars. It’s all about the Chessie cat with her.
Cute kids, enjoy them now. What a great idea to have the kids in the train room with you. These memories will last forever. The older girl not hanging with dad, welcome to the club. Lol Thanks for the video, brought back memories.
Hey Chris big fan I have a video idea for you it is the GG1 one of my favorite engines and if you could find it the Disney set with all of the boxcars that would be great video or if you can’t get that maybe the Burger king set with the Wendy’s caboose that would be awesome thanks for making videos
Great video! I love the SpongeBob train! I have an operating SpongeBob box car that was made by K-line haven’t been able to find a set yet! Glad to see the kids love trains as much as we do
Yeah Chris I can see it coming. Thirty years from now you're going to be the fun grandpa! Taking things in turn... Clare and the "Bikini Bottom Express?" Yep, I found myself singing along with the Sponge Bob theme! I'm surprised it didn't put me in the mood for a "Crabbie Patty!" Now Addy with that pre-war "Commodore Vanderbilt." Something could be going on here. She might also be developing a taste for old movies and turning into a TCM fan! If she loves "The Wizard Of Oz" she's on the way! "Party like it's 1939!" Bailey certainly has an eye for color and design, that was a great choice of the Santa Fe and the silver passenger cars! Too cool for the video? Yeah, it happens. She'll get over it. That Niagara in the 20th Century fantasy scheme? You know, if the NYC didn't paint a 6000 like that they sure should have! And isn't it nice when a husband and wife have the same taste in engines? In our case it's the N&W's Class J. "Mighty 611's" our "baby." Fun video as usual Chris! Thanks for posting!
If my dad owned a big train layout when ias a kid id took it over too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but all jokes aside its good to see your kids getting involved in trains kudos to you all
Chris, beautiful family, Chris. But we didn't see the Mama engineer... Maybe next time. Have fun everyone. See you all in the next vlog. John from LI, NY.
Dad and Grandpa got me involved from a young age too. Yeah it wasn't what all the cool kids did but do I really care? Nope. Lots of nice memories as a result
You are a true inspiration sir, and one very lucky guy I might add! Trains & family is the best, love it! Keep it going! Our family loves the combo smoke smell btw (mth proto pine smoke and lionel traditional...there's just something about it! lol)
Bro, first of all I would give you a hug as a brother. I just ordered 2 of their items. The UP 8444 FEF and the Passengers. They are in my same state and I'm super happy that I bought it from them!. Of course I haven't got a layout yet so I bought a Roller to test the Locomotives. Soon that Arrives? I will give it a test.
Nice video Chris. It’s important to have your kids involved in your hobby. Don’t want them to feel like the trains interfere with time with dad time. Thanks for sharing this keeping it real video.
Hello Chris another great video getting your Daughters involved in the Hobby is really fun after all when the Holidays arrive they can really have some fun maybe when you attend the York train show you can find some xmas trains GOD BLESS CHRIS TAKE CARE AND HAPPY RAILROADING ;-)
RBP i wish you have some FEC stock like the Lionel the champion becouse it has the FEC locomovites and the passenger cars from the FEC and if you get Florida East Coast stock i will love it because the FEC is most favorite railroad when I was 6 years old
Very wholesome and fun video to watch. Btw I was wondering if you have done a video on the C&O class M-1 steam turbine locomotive before? I love the look of the locomotive but never got to see it run irl or in model form and I enjoy watching your videos so it would be nice to see it run
One of my favorite videos you’ve made so far! It looks like your daughters had a great time running the trains with you! Did I see your oldest towards the end making a cameo? Did your wife not want to be on camera with her favorite train? 😜 fantastic video, Chris!
Couldn't convince the wife or my oldest to get in the video, even with the short and obstructed views I was working with. Got all three daughters in the thumbnail though, haha! Thanks Patrick!
You know RBP, MTH did make additional SpongeBob trains to build a little collection. If I remember from the catalogs, they included a yellow railking mogul, 11 freight cars( few of them decorated for Christmas) and a bay window caboose painted green. I think your youngest girl Clare would LOVE to have a little collection of MTH SpongeBob O gauge trains. Think about it.

If I told you he can play video games that involve trains in Roblox

Are you saying that MTH made a prototype back then?

That music is amazing 😂
The locomotive was reused from the I Love Toy Trains limited freight set, same with the color scheme!
I absolutely loved this video! The time my father spent with me is exactly why I still love trains today! Thanks for continuing to share the love of the hobby!
Thanks Dale! Always like hearing stories like yours!
Children are the best. They make everything more fun and their playfulness is contagious.

Still trying to find the I Love Toy Trains engine. Hopefully one day!
Chris very nice family video.great to see your girls involved with your trains.
Chris you have sweet daughters I’m sure they run the frozen set and the pet shop express set on the layout sometimes.

A truly gorgeous collection
Always a good thing when families have fun. Great film ! Thank You
Thanks for watching James! This was a fun one to make.
Very nice video, loved that you involved the family. The Spongebob train needs an aquarium car with Spongebob and his friends. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Anyone who features their kids on their channel automatically gets a thumbs-up from me. Super-cool, and the trains are great too.
Great video Chris, nice to see the family having a great time running the layout with you!
Always fun when you get the family involved! My daughter is 23 and has kinda lost that, but its all good. I tell ya Chris, that Black Bonnet is STUNNING!!!!!
Chris you have a wonderful family they like your trains enjoy
Very special memorable moment for you and your family excellent choice Victor New Jersey. PS your daughter is a very special too
SpongeBob: After we watch this train video, we’re going to party till we’re purple!🚂
Patrick: I LOVE BEING PURPLE!!!
This guy is a living legend like Eric!

Your kids were so cute in this I rewatch it just to hear their cute little voices in the video!😍
Loved the video probably the most wholesome thing I’ve seen with trains.
You should run of your 3 biggest locomotives in your collection whether they’re steam or diesel together.
Great suggestion! Writing that one down
Seeing that Spongebob train fly by the area 51 train was hilarious! And man that Niagara is awesome! Great choices all around.
Amazing video Chris! It is always a good idea to get the younger generation into model trains. Doing so will keep this hobby alive for centuries.
You talk about the OC SD40, yet I spy with my little eye those SOU widecabs.
Great video Chris! Glad the entire family enjoys the hobby with you!
Chris, I love that you run anything and everything on your layout!!!!
Keeps it fresh, haha! Thanks for watching Peter
Great video with your family Chris! It's nice to see them enjoy them almost as much as you do!
If I was there I would say it's a really good and awesome for a train show and some kids will try to play it
Thomas just feels so neglected in the background, silently saying "Run me please"
Thomas almost made the cut! I am thinking he will show up in another video. Need to get James and Percy on the track for that one.
5:45 those giggles🥰
Great to see your children enjoying the hobby together with you, Chris!
I remember the spongebob set, one of my first sets along with the polar express that my grandpas gave to me, so much nostalgia hearing the song playing from the caboose

Thanks Jesse! I was able to record the Niagara after the girls segments were done so it gave me a little more undistracted camera time, haha!
@@RBPTrains There ya go! Let them have fun then do the more intricate work.

You silly boy! But the best is the girls interest! Love it!
So great to see your family. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚞🚅🚃🚂🚟🚇
All great choices! And they had fun!
Cute kids, enjoy them now. What a great idea to have the kids in the train room with you. These memories will last forever.

Hey Chris big fan I have a video idea for you it is the GG1 one of my favorite engines and if you could find it the Disney set with all of the boxcars that would be great video or if you can’t get that maybe the Burger king set with the Wendy’s caboose that would be awesome thanks for making videos
That is so cool how you have your wife and kids into trains.
Delightful video. Delicious train layout.
jvb
This is amazing. My dog use to sit next to my layout
Great video, fun to see the kids involved.
I have an MTH Docksider too! It’s in the I love Toy Trains livery!
Nice! I am hoping to find the I Love Toy Trains set eventually. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I love the SpongeBob train! I have an operating SpongeBob box car that was made by K-line haven’t been able to find a set yet! Glad to see the kids love trains as much as we do
Yeah Chris I can see it coming. Thirty years from now you're going to be the fun grandpa!
Taking things in turn...
Clare and the "Bikini Bottom Express?" Yep, I found myself singing along with the Sponge Bob theme! I'm surprised it didn't put me in the mood for a "Crabbie Patty!"
Now Addy with that pre-war "Commodore Vanderbilt." Something could be going on here. She might also be developing a taste for old movies and turning into a TCM fan! If she loves "The Wizard Of Oz" she's on the way! "Party like it's 1939!"

Here’s to all the kids who don’t give a tooooooooot!🚂
I love your collection

Thank you! I agree about the smoke combo- not sure why it just seems so perfect, haha!
Nothing like a video from RBP on Friday!!!
Haha, thanks Ben! How is the Atlas car unpacking going? Just a few boxes to open :)
Nice idea; great family.
Nice selection of trains.
I really liked seeing the Sponge Bob train run around the tracks.
Thanks for sharing
Very nice collection

Amazing, spongebob train is the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video your daughters have good taste also your wife I myself is partial to the area 51 train set just because I live in Las Vegas 👍👍
I get the connection to the A51 set! Thanks Charles!
Hey Chris can you do another video of your kids picking some trains to run on the layout.
Awesome.
Your daughters are precious and obviously love dad
Your daughters are Adorable!!!
Thanks Joe! It's all their mom :)
I love your style. Model railroads don’t have to be dry and stuffy.
Nice video Chris. It’s important to have your kids involved in your hobby. Don’t want them to feel like the trains interfere with time with dad time. Thanks for sharing this keeping it real video.
Really enjoyed the video!!!!
Love the Ohio central engine!
Hello Chris another great video getting your Daughters involved in the Hobby is really fun after all when the Holidays arrive they can really have some fun maybe when you attend the York train show you can find some xmas trains GOD BLESS CHRIS TAKE CARE AND HAPPY RAILROADING ;-)
The reds streamliner is my uncle Michael's newest engine
Great video
RBP i wish you have some FEC stock like the Lionel the champion becouse it has the FEC locomovites and the passenger cars from the FEC and if you get Florida East Coast stock i will love it because the FEC is most favorite railroad when I was 6 years old
6:40 Definitely the Niagara.
Hello RBP thank you!!!
Thank you!!
It’s good to see some of these newer Model trains running at faster speeds without speeding up the video
0:26 big boy looks so pretty
TBH I would choose 4000 or the AEM-7 both really neat
I'm with your middle daughter Comador Vanderbilt red comet all the way!
If I was there I would run one of the heritage engines from union pacific or from Norfolk southern
Very wholesome and fun video to watch. Btw I was wondering if you have done a video on the C&O class M-1 steam turbine locomotive before? I love the look of the locomotive but never got to see it run irl or in model form and I enjoy watching your videos so it would be nice to see it run
Thank you! I have not done a video on the M-1. That is an engine that I do not have. Maybe I can find one eventually. Thanks for watching!
@@RBPTrains huh then which C&O steam locomotive is that above your Niagara locomotive you ran then?
That is the C&O Yellowbelly Hudson
Hi rbp trains I love your video about your daughter in the train layout take care of the titans and i love the spongebob squarepants train
My daughter was just under 2 when she ran her first train. She is 14 now and will still run the Polar Express at Christmas.
Oh! I have an RC of the Polar Xpress, too. I still run that thing every single year without fail.
i am haunted to this day by the sound of the pirates laugh from the spongebob caboose
One of my favorite videos you’ve made so far! It looks like your daughters had a great time running the trains with you! Did I see your oldest towards the end making a cameo? Did your wife not want to be on camera with her favorite train? 😜 fantastic video, Chris!

Do you have more pics or videos of that AEM 7?
AEM7 has not been featured yet. It has been on the reserve list and will eventually make it into a video. Thanks for watching!
Is the Lionel Fastrack you use on your layout?
You should make a video with all your fraight engines
You know RBP, MTH did make additional SpongeBob trains to build a little collection. If I remember from the catalogs, they included a yellow railking mogul, 11 freight cars( few of them decorated for Christmas) and a bay window caboose painted green. I think your youngest girl Clare would LOVE to have a little collection of MTH SpongeBob O gauge trains. Think about it.
