Been watching you guys for a long time, but just saw this video. Go to Switzerland and ride the trains!!! I can't stress this enough. I had the experience of a lifetime in the early 2000's. Rode the Bernina Express from St. Moritz to Tirano, Italy through the Swiss Alps at Christmas time. I will never forget this experience, you need to do it!
We were actually planning to do that last summer and then Covid came along and ruined everything! But it is on our bucket list and I don’t mean to the bottom of the bucket either!
THANK YOU BOTH AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR SCREWING AROUND TIME WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING AND I APPRECIATE YOU BOTH FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO 🚂🚂👍👌😷😷😁
I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning. I have just a tiny interest in trains but watch every video. Love watching 2 people who share such a big passion
Hi! It’s just that screwing around is really really fun!! Even now. “”Yea though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil, for social distancing is great for hobbyists because it nothing new to us”. However we don’t get the toilet paper thing.
Yet another good screwing around Sunday. You are helping me organize and make decisions on how I am going to practice my model railroading by presenting and asking questions and then discussing it. Good dialogue. Wait Jim for Tuesday.
So many choices; so little time. That is a common thread throughout the railroad hobby. It is most prevalent in participation of modular railroading. One could have a large scale layout in the home or garden and still reap the benefits of, say, On3 or On30. Great show. Greg and Jeanne.
Hi! What a few weeks it’s been! We are just back from the ghost train of old Ely where we were thrilled to see the locals putting on their usual haunted train! But the special part of this trip was dirt the cat gave us a tour of his home. That is to say the locomotive shops that he lives in. What an amazing animal, and what an amazing shop! And I’ve never seen a cat that’s so excited about being so completely filthy! The people here have tried to clean him up and you might as well try Washing an electric fan. He will have none of it.
Just to clarify your comments on the AsiaNRail layout [8:50 - 9:10]: Since this was a narrow gauge convention, it's important to note that, while the train that is running is a Japanese prototype, it's NOT the high speed Shinkansen "Bullet Train", which runs on standard gauge tracks. This model is, rather, a modern 1067mm (3' 6") gauge train. In fact. most of the Japanese rail network is narrow gauge! Also, while we did include scenes from Japan on the layout, you didn't show any of those. Instead, all the modules you filmed are scenes from Taiwan, starting with the town of Shifen and the nearby Shifen waterfall - both actual places on the 3' 6" Pingxi branchline near Taipei. I am the builder of these scenes. You can see more of these, as well as scenes from Japan, the Philippines, and Korea, in my UA-cam video, Paul Ingraham's Asian Model Railway. - Paul Ingraham, Coordinator, AsiaNRail Modular Group San Francisco Bay Area, California
Hi!!!!! Cool layout!! Oops. I lost a bunch of footage when I copied to my hard drive and THOUGHT I had it and didn’t. Damn it. So I last a whole evening of video. And when I was reshooting it was right at the end and only had a few minutes before they started tearing down. Sigh.
AWESOME GOOD VIDEO VERY INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE. NEVER BORING ALWAYS GOOD STUFF BE SAFE AND CAREFUL ENJOY YOUR SCREWING AROUND TIME WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS I APPRECIATE YOU BOTH. THANK YOU AGAIN JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 😁😷👌👍👍👍👍🚂
Another great show with more amazing layouts, regarding HOm track I model Queensland Railways in Australia which is narrow gauge 3 foot 6 inches. So our QR models are ran on HOm 12mm gauge track, called HO n 3.6. We have several Australia manufactures supplying RTR models and Kits.
That’s Awesome! I had no idea such a thing even existed till I ran into this at the convention. Makes sense that it would exist I just never thought about it. Always amazed at the diversity that’s out there in the world!
I also have a collection of logging locos, a 3-truck Shay, a pair of 2-truck Shays, a Heisler, and 3 Climaxes. The Climaxes are the only ones still waiting conversion to RC/battery.
I’m planning one battery loco. A K36. But… perhaps more? Depends I guess. A bit expensive but I had a battery goose years ago. Ran much much more often as it was simple. Very very simple
ah, at 12:29 a gauge change. From what I have seen, they load standard gauge trains onto narrow gauge without changing the trucks. It made transportation over two different gauges quick. They use special "dollies" or rail cars that have only wheel trucks and rails. The rails are at standard gauge and the wheels under are at narrow gauge. It saved them from having to change the wheel trucks or reloading freight.
I always loved HON 2 1/2. Then I found out it was still alive in Europe as HOE. And what amazing models they are. It’s a big wide wonderful world of toys out there
Awesome video as always! The details of these models are nothing less than spectacular! What I'm curious about is how they take the modules apart and transport them.
Several systems out there. The oldest uses removable sections of flex track about 4 inches long. But some just but the tracks and join with joiners. The removable pieces allow for things to be slightly out of alignment. But then my legs and everything fold up and they load neatly into trailers. Most of these clubs on their own trailer with a rack inside that can hold up to 12 modules or so.
That's in my old stomping grounds or Southern California when I used to live there traffic has gotten really worth over the years I think Atlanta's worse than California I remember I-15 I-10 highway 210 San dimas freeway
I loved this episode ! When I first started with “N-Scale”, I had some of the first Lifelike and some of the first Bachman N-scale F3/F7 locomotives which would burn out pretty quickly as well as only to have ‘one truck’ power the whole locomotive ! Therefore limiting the amount of cars you can pull ! “83” Then around 84/85, I started collecting and buying Repedio and Arnold as well as mini-trixe locomotives ! 8 Wheel Dr. pulling power unlike anything US was making at that time ! I even had a complete Spanish passenger set ! Only reason I had it because I was Cuban and my grandfather was born in Spain ! Although their locomotives look totally different and kind of weird compared to our American locomotives, as far as I’m concerned, ours, “I believe” (look better and more stylish) than some of the regular freight locomotives they use ! Although, I have to give them a thumbs up for still using steam locomotives but, some of their diesels are some of the ugliest engines I’ve ever seen ! Yes the Germans have a gorgeous eyestrain yes to Japanese have a beautiful 300 km/h speed training that shaped like a banana as far as I’m concerned but still beautiful ! And Britain has their Pacific‘s (4-6-2)’s, that have proven that particular type of locomotive has and can take what we can dish out to it ! One of my projects is a 4-6-2 from Lionel right now ! I don’t remember the number but, I’m trying to run her over into Locomotive #153 from before The Florida East Coast 1935 hurricane It is a last survivor of the 1935 hurricane that destroyed the Florida Keys railroad ! You should check out the Railroad that Died at Sea ! 🌊🐺
Hi. I had n scale fir a few years. I had several Atlas FA locomotives that we’re perhaps the best running locomotives I’ve ever had. Gave up n because I loved building and n was a bit challenging! Now modeling F scale. I can see it! And build even with shaky hands. Problem is I keep buying and building and these huge models are.... well huge! I have like 40 locomotives and even more rolling stock. 12 passenger cars. One train of Jude a few cars is 20 feet long! But I love it. Wish it could all be out at the same time!
I've seen several modular model railroads at several train shows I go to, also I noticed that two years ago they had the narrow gauge convention in Colorado and this year they're having it in California, do they have it in any other states, also is the narrow gauge convention annual or do they have it every few years or something like that
Yes it is held in a different city every year. It moves all over the place. I think the next one is in St. Louis. There’s even been talk of it traveling to great Britain!
The narrow gauge modelers always do a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing the modular railroads. I’m also doing a modular layout but it’s HO Traction. I’ve only displayed it 3 times so far. If you ever make it to the east side of the U. S. , you have to check out the East Penn Traction Club meets. @Codorus Valley Traction Company
When I was in college 45 years ago, there were two brothers that had turned the entire 2nd floor of their parents farm house into a a mountainous train layout. I helped building bridges. I always wondered what happened to that layout. The house is still there but not the trains.
Brad Taylor Have you seen the show on the layout in Corinne Utah? Lee Nicholas. He started on the layout is a kid in his parents basement. Through his working life he would still go over to his parents house and work on his old railroad. He is now in his 70s and has inherited the house and is still working on the railroad that he started when he was about 14
Dale and Karyn: Good to watch it over again. Really good video of modular railroads and the variety. Thanks see ya tomorrow.

Hi Jim.
I'm still upset at myself for missing that convention!! Awesome layouts again and great filming.
Nice Video, Love these types of layouts
I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning. I have just a tiny interest in trains but watch every video. Love watching 2 people who share such a big passion
Thanks!!! We have fun with lots of things but trains are the big thing. Anyway thanks!!!
Wow! An amazing modular railroad all right! I love it. Thanks a bunch for uploading this! This is furling up my imagination too.
Thank you for showing us the convention layouts. Very nice and enjoyable.
Thanks for watching. More fun stuff coming
Great video featuring amazing modeling - thanks!
Some great modules right?
I absolutely love the enthusiasm you both have. It really does show in your videos. Thank you.
Hi! It’s just that screwing around is really really fun!! Even now. “”Yea though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil, for social distancing is great for hobbyists because it nothing new to us”. However we don’t get the toilet paper thing.
Love this layout when doing a layout like takes time,patience,pride.keep it up awsome layout.
Yet another good screwing around Sunday. You are helping me organize and make decisions on how I am going to practice my model railroading by presenting and asking questions and then discussing it. Good dialogue. Wait Jim for Tuesday.
We are just back from Ely Nevada were Dirt the cat gave us an amazing tour of the locomotive shop!
Thanks again for another great video! The scenery on the layouts you showed are epic!!
Hi! Right? I’m really loving logging railroads. Always have liked them but finally building one!
So many choices; so little time. That is a common thread throughout the railroad hobby. It is most prevalent in participation of modular railroading. One could have a large scale layout in the home or garden and still reap the benefits of, say, On3 or On30. Great show. Greg and Jeanne.

I love those desert modules
I love watching them. I once did modules but today I’m happier at the workbench
You need to check out Cass Scenic Railroad in West Virginia if you love logging locomotives
On the bucket list for sure!!
Great video. I love these train show videos. Layouts are always amazing. Thanks for sharing. Dave
I’m working on one right now which is absolutely amazing! Our first layout tour in 4K
amazing layouts the detail is so adroit compliments from canada

Thanks for showing us your trip! I'll be at the Narrow Gauge Convention in St Louis next year.
Not sure if we can make it. But it will be cool no doubt
Definitely way cool!
We’re back at the train show next Sunday. To ride the train!

Yup. We found video of it here on UA-cam. Don’t recall the name but should be easy to find.
welcome to my hometown brother and sister I live in glendora off the 210 freeway I definitely understand what you guys are talking about
The Moose Creek Railroad club is actually based here in Washington, i see them all the time at the local train shows
What a great group. Fun and a great layout
We have a Cog railway in Mt Washington New Hampshire.
One of the original tack rails!
Nice Engine on the Moose creek.
My birthday is coming on October 28th 2019. I also had visited the Halloween train ride event at Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad.
Super fun events
Love the video thank you
Thanks for watching!!
i have allways loved narrow gauge locos and railways . now have fallen in love with the europian/ russian / ukraine / checzh and german n.g as well.
I always loved HON 2 1/2. Then I found out it was still alive in Europe as HOE. And what amazing models they are. It’s a big wide wonderful world of toys out there
This is Awesome. :-D
It was a great show!
JUST AWESOME GOOD VIDEO I ENJOYED THIS EPISODE AND YOUR INFORMATION AND COMMENTS THANK YOU AGAIN. 🚂🚂👍👌😷😁JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA 😁😷👌👍
We are planning on this convention in 2022 in Denver. Wow. Train shows. Wow we miss train shows.
Love that depot at 16:15. Almost looks like Rio Grande Southern.
Yup. Classic rio grande. Sort of.
Those are so great! Love those displays. So when you packing for Europe?? Have a great week.
Hope next year!
I love ON30 stuff. Stuff is relatively cheap compared to other scales and runs / looks fantastic.
If I were starting over that’s what I would do. Amazing!! Almost On3 (my favorite) at a third the cost.
OUTSTANDING 🐢🚂🐢🚂🐢🚂
Thanks!!!
Awesome video as always!
The details of these models are nothing less than spectacular!

Traffic is nuts everywhere. But there’s way mor if it in so cal. 200 miles of traffic jamb.
You guys should check out the Flint Ridge and Portola Valley Railroad near San Francisco, Mike Massee made a documentary on it a few years ago.
great video toy man :)

Toy Man Television NICE!!!
Hey guys u should look at the trains we run here in Australia and enjoy our train rides and adventures here
We know a steam locomotive Engeneer from down under. What a collection of gauges!!!
Toy Man Television I totally agree with you because Australia has a lot of character with steam trains and stuff
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! Some fun stuff coming up too
no wonder you got lost at the convention... it was in Sac and you were in LA by the interstates you listed :)
We should have turned left at Albuquerque
Woot!
Toot!!!
Jesus its been a long time since I been on this channel
Well welcome back!!! Stick around. Fun stuff coming. Soon Dirt the Cat shows us his locomotive shops.

It’s called super realistic operation on Lee Nicholas layout. Two shows. Second one is better. Confusing operation.
