- Picking up where we left off in Part 1, we continue our tour of Train Mountain during the 2012 Triennial Meet with an look at safety checkpoints, a "G Scale" railroad within the railroad, building new track, and the incredible railroad signal system and control tower designed by John Cooper.
We will meet live steam enthusiasts from Austria, a talented locomotive builder from Canada, and a fun-loving group of Australians who brought their own trains! - Авто та транспорт
Proof positive that the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!
Yes, you are right, more old more expensive.
This has to be one of the most impressive video on the internet
Great to see some Aussie locos up there! Wish I could see a track as long as train mountain.
I'm 73 and that peddle car would be a great way to get a lot of exercise. I want one...
They have a couple for sale for about the price of your average bike, maybe a little more, I’d go check it out!
This railroad is so cool and realistic, i almost expected to see the late Hobo Shoestring (Mark Nichols in miniature) riding one of those grainers. RIP Shoestring. Greetings from Australia.
Sure looking forward to the 2022 Triennial video!!!...thank you so much for doing this...we appreciate all your hard work!!!
What a fantastic hobby. If I ever buy myself a ranch, I'll build a half-scale railway around it!
Fantastic? This hobby makes people look like imbeciles.
I love America, and Americans, for that. Everything is a little bigger and better❣
Wonderful facility!
Continued success, if I'm ever in the States again, I'll visit you!
Greetings from Germany 🧡🧡🧡
Quentin Breen had quite a vision! Wow... Train Mountain continues to grow!
yup, it makes me want to have my own miniature railroad.
Nice to see the Australian model of the original UK 🇬🇧 British designed HS125 by BR British Rail it's one of the successes of BR.
They have just a few years ago been replaced by Hitachi 800 series electric/diesel's after about 50 years of brilliant service.
The model mounting rail road MMRR seems to be the Mecca (Rolls Royce) of model rail roads.
Never been to North America, but I think it would be number one on my list.
Thanks for the video tour.
Yes and totally redesigned by the State Rail Authority because NSW track is rubbish back in the 80’s. The original had a cow catcher on the front made of tube steel, and I was a young man at Transport House Wynyard and commented on the silliness of it much to the chief engineers constination told be if you can do better, and the current air dam shape is down to me.
Yes great to see the Australian team being shown. Old mate just needs to repaint the Xpt to the new “trainlink” colours ❤
So should we expect 2032 for the 2022 triennial video? haha
Until this video came out I never knew this hobby existed. I've seen 6060 many times, she's in my home town. Really enjoyed this, I'll be watching.......
I assume you saw it at 26:28 also ?
WOW... The first thing I noticed the MOPac Short Bay caboose.... this was one of the last ones built at the De Soto, and Sedalia MoPac shop. Structure was built in De Soto, finish and paint done in the Sedalia Shop which was closed shortly after the run of this series of Caboose. Thanks for the memories.....
Thanks for watching!
I'm 2 minutes into this video, don't even know where this is, but it's on the bucket list.
Look at part 1? ua-cam.com/video/2iOYokAP0vA/v-deo.html "Train Mountain" is on the west coast side of the USA, the actual and city state escapes my mind at the moment sorry. There is also literally a Geo Location link under the video for google maps location. You find multiple vidoes on youtube from many different users/visitors/engineers that go to "Train Mountain", as it is one of the bigger hobby spots in this country for these rail fans.
I'm amazed at the weight some of those tiny locos can pull.
Mine has 16 hp gas engine running hydraulic pump. Traction motors are 2 hydraulic motors. Can pull a good 2 tons worth of train and riders
Si, estan bien gordos los pasajeros
This is a great video of Train Mountain. This is what you call Pentrax quality video. 🤓
These are really cool trains, We have a club noit to far from where we live in SE Wisconsin that has these type trains, Nice footage and have a great rest of your Friday evening.
This is on my bucket list.
Looks like an awesome place to go.
Thanks for sharing this video, it's greatly appreciated.
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲
simply amazing. i truly hope to visit one day
What an amazing event! Somewhere I'd love to visit next time I go to the US!
The V/Line Y class at the start was a very pleasant surprise!
It would of been way better if it was in the good ol VR blue n gold
I'm from Nimbin Australia which is about 40 minutes drive from Lismore, where Peter Laws is from towards the end of the video.
10:45 I like. When a kid, I ran my O scale around an acre of land that was my backyard after getting kicked out of the house. I got to run it full tilt in the beginning days. Then because I mowed the grass, I wouldn't worry about it getting damaged except for the dog.
Awesome to see the CTC track signalling behind the scenes a little, kudos to the busy dispatchers! And great to see a solid Aussie contingent present too, nice to see someone also from Brisbane Australia. Great video, cheers! =)
Thanks for watching!
@@7ideaproductions and of course - immediately subscribed too =)
your videos have a fantastic balance to them. thankyou!
Wow, that one DPUs sounded like the real deal…what a cool place❤️👍✅
Wow! I´ll definitely come to visit train mountain one day. Greetings from a railroad museum volunteer from Germany!
I gotta say that at the 12:33 mark, the sound of the UP 9656 was Waaaaaaaaaaay cool! It sounded so realistic and true to tone. 👍👍👍👍
It's makes the mood everyday ..excellent work 👍
So COOL ... Almost like a sturgis event but scale train . Looks like fun . 😎
this is so freaking cool!! gotta visit this one day.
Super interesting to see a Victoria BC loco & rolling stock (Vancouver Island Model Engineers) make it out :D
The bike train looks so fun 🚲 🚂
Over at the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology here in well... Hamilton, we have the same scale trains you can ride, we took our daughter for a train ride couple years back. Good times.
Fantastic...
Very nice, enjoyable.
Just insanely cool
Beautiful place.
Looks like the Island of Sodor!
That's pretty cool.
Fantastic
It's amazing how much weight these little things can pull.
I want to see an upto date detailed track plan! This is amazing. Their website doesn't have an upto date detail plan with all sidings and connections to the private railway there too.
cool BIG NICE TRAIN🤠💯
I was hoping they could organize a scale recreation of the famous San Bernadino train derailment, where the train was going so fast, its wheels began to melt. The working scale steam engine replicas are works of art..........feat of engineering.
That poor train with the big fella driving it.
3:55 amazing to see what looks like a highway underpass, fair play gents.
It is a highway underpass. Train mountain north and south are separated by an actual highway.
Les Dent who is. mentioned a couple of times was a really great guy, and loved by everyone. I didn't see him between triennials, and in between he grew a beard. I told him he changed in those three years, and he answered, "Nope, I'm still old and ugly." I immediately shot back, "But now even more so." Everyone around went "Oohhh."
Awesome guy. I miss giving him a hard time or vice versa.
27:47 Intercity XPT! Ik it’s styled after an Aussie loco but it’s nice to see at least a bit of British Rail represented, as the XPT’s were export models of the immensely successful Intercity 125’s AKA High Speed Trains AKA class 43’s of British rail, still in use today, specially designed for the Australian environment.
Love it be a nice day out with kids ❤️❤️❤️😃😃😃🙏🦘🇦🇺🚂
The only place you can feel like a kid again.
Saludos de Puerto Rico caqueta colombia ,, elegante el ferrocarril mini,,me gustó Dios LOS BENDIGA
Thank you for watching! I am glad you enjoyed the railroad.
Too Damn cool. !!
Fantastic....5 miles on a scale track has to be a fun ride. I would ride the keg car. Twice.
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
Menikmati hari tua yg menyenangkan itu impian semua orang.. setelah pensiun
I'm actually quite interested in making rolling stock and locomotives for these sorts of railroads tbh. Looks epic!
You can buy kits to make locomotives but they are expensive
@@laurienorthrup6252 I bet they are and the one in particular I'm looking at making has to be a DIY one.
@@AussieGunzel don't forget building your own railroad around your house. Interest your neighbor(s) and have two yards worth of trackage to ride on..... The more neighbors, the more you have free labor help and can split and share rolling stock to pull behind your engines. Then you could go all East Terminal Railway though ua-cam.com/channels/ZDPxlyQo-gRMKJJxDIM7BQ.html where the bought a real railroad siding track line and are restoring it to service and even buying rolling stock. You can live that dream with by their videos going through all the work and maybe they make money , maybe they go bust but they are playing with real train and railroad equipment and tracks.
@@AussieGunzel "has to be a DIY one" If you have a shop or access to one, the time, and the skills (something I lack which makes the whole thing amazing to me) i say go for it! There are many who have done it and I'm sure would be glad to help with advice and information. Look for live steam clubs in your area.
Do a Google search for 1/8th scale train suppliers. Titan trains makes ready to run diesel reproductions
Love from pakistan❤
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 24 Jul 22.
Lovely event, but you definitely should try to get rid of that interlacing.
yes i live a few miles from this i should go next year cause i think i missed this years
Wow ❤️❤️❤️👏
It would be nice to provide a link to Part 1 in the video description.
ua-cam.com/video/2iOYokAP0vA/v-deo.html 🚂part one link
ua-cam.com/video/2iOYokAP0vA/v-deo.html for Part 1
I like that kind of locomotive @ 8:40
I like that rail bike.😊 where is this park located? I want to see this rail bike in person and wonder it it could be scaled to narrow gauge, stander gauge and broad gauge to operate on abandoned railroads.🙂
Wieviel Herzblut und Fleiß in diese Anlage gesteckt wird ist bemerkenswert. Macht weiter so!
I hope, someday in my country to have something like this
Which country??
They probably do if you're in a country that falls into the old "1st world" category.... Even third world have people building stuff to ride on old abandoned rail lines.
@@ablemagawitch that was a rather lame comment
@@dennispedersen7460
"@Able Magawitch that was a rather lame comment"
How so?
Most of the richer countries have people into this hobby . This size/scale/ratio is more expensive, so you see it more in countries that have high economic statuses. There are even more people are into the ready made "G" scale "Garden" railway set up they show running inside their main tracks. G scale is indoor and outdoor, even used around the base of Christmas trees for holiday decoration. If people watch Part 1, 2 and part 3 (look for it, I wish Both were in description for links) you'll see people from all over the world that traveled to Train Mountain for these Big Meet Ups. Some that even shipped their own trains over to the USA for use on these tracks. Bringing them from their country and/or continent. Australia and Europe (multiple countries) are both represented. I learned about this hobby and scale for ride-able trains from the UK videos first , even though Train Mountain is my country.
In poorer countries, they have various railroads and the where does smaller narrow gauge cross into ""model"" is debate for someone else. While some of the vehicles they use on those narrow rails technically are not trains like this, the vehicles they build to ride on the active and abandoned rail lines and ingenious. The amount of engineering and adaption far out weighs the hobby bicycle to rail adapters, that lock down on to one rail(the bicycle rides on this one) then has a side extension that puts a braced wheel on the other rail for stability. Then they use old rail lines for cross country touring.
Since "Dou Amari" didn't list their country, but hoped to have something like, they're probably do have something since they're posting in English.
The problem is model railroading all the various scales and ratios has turned into a more expensive hobby. Hobby train making companies all went for the higher return retired later in life with higher disposable income end of the market leaving out most of the cheaper train sets and accessories that were common in the 1970's and 1980's. Back when most towns and cities had stores that specialized in hobbies, especially model railroading. I went phases on each of the gauges and then went back and forth between them over years. The Model Railroading clubs tend to exist without much publicity and the older particpants don't also welcome younger people as they should to help keep their hobby alive. So it can be hard to find the group in your city, or in your country. Example "Train Mountain" which is located in Chiloquin, in Klamath County, Oregon USA sadly isn't known very well outside the hobby and isn't a larger railroad amusement park. Which that subject will digress into how sad it is that even Disney even took out their steam train rides, and with that Walt Disney's personal Miniature Railroad no longer exists.... Not sure what is left of the local club he and it were part of.
I'm no expert but realize kids today are sadly missing on the joys of model trains once they get to an age where "Thomas The Tank Engine is for babies" and they're too cool and too old for that now. I've had few friends' kids grow out of it and was like but but I still have the adventure sets I was spacing out giving you....
Yeah, me too! Here in Brazil don't have something like this, but we have "little handcrafted rail car" to ride on old rail lines
The Sasquatches are watching all that is going on from the trees.
Gota do something about the interlacing on the moving objects at 3:20
I like model railway but without people seating on it. To me it kill the whole nostalgia of miniaturization: watching, enjoying and operating it holistically. Is there any model railway set up where every technology is employed that is installed in real world but miniaturized?
Most realistic model railway I have seen was installed by Maharaja of Baroda (now Vadodra) in India. Where, childrens upto certain age and height were allowed to board. Inside was just like real carriage of the day, except restroom and emergency chains. The only out of size character was the engine driver. Set up was span around wast area comprising a public park and a zoo. I am not sure it still exist and operational.
The best UA-cam video presentation I watched about model railway is from Germany, they have whole miniature world set up where not only trains but the whole logistics of traffic, towns and outback. It’s like 3D google map of huge region presented live.
I'd rather have this train a bit bigger so that it's actually comfortable for the people
@@moover123yes, keep the realistic experience.
What scale is this, and where does one shop for parts or kits for building these magnificent machines?
Wow 🇨🇦🇨🇦
There's one just like that in burnaby bc, burnaby central railroad
I would just turn a train up to full speed and watch them go around
Serdecznie Pozdrawiam z Polski (Europa)
Awesome vedio
Who owns such a big place?
I think a bigger train could be built
Love fm india goa
do they bu8ild these trains?
never seen anything like this! so cool!
Many people do build their own. There are also businesses that build some. There are also individuals who make miniature parts like steam valves for others. It's truly amazing what some of them do.
The Erie triplex visible in a few shots is an example.
20:37 Best In Show
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
hes got a Y class vline from victoria australia? Got my vote cool
Please change the following: Buy new sound equipment. Teach your staff in it 's use.
I had over 200 feet of HO track. I had to clean the track to often. The little track cleaning car with a fluid still did not do the job. Too much maintenance for one person.
Would be great to se a new hope and ivyland consist
And I was always told that a red light indicated a hot track or go and a green light meant a cold track or stopl.
Hey, I’m very interested in theses trains. Where do you purchase the trains, carts and the other stuff like rails? And how much does a train cost? Thank you guys 🙌🏼
cool 😎 l want some in Oklahoma joplin Mo
Waw ❤❤❤❤❤
Интересно.
Absolutely fascinating but after the fifth ad I had to turn it off
How intense was your research to "the biggest little railroad in the world" ? I know a few around 3miles without research, so in first place 5 miles sounds impressive.
That 5 miles is only half the main northern loop.
Where and when do they have the meetings next time
Is this year round or just in summer?
Have you thought about being a air traffic controller then what we have now???
I do wonder how they maintain these little trains.
Loads and loads of work
Sheldon would go crazy here! 😉
How cool I would love to see this place and ride on one of the trains.
Where is this place located at?
It's near Chiloquin6 Oregon between Klamath Falls and Crater Lake
@@rrt5425 I definitely recommend it if you like railroads and can get there. It is a privately operated club but welcomes visitors. Be sue to go to web page and contact them before coming. "Klamath and Western" is a private club that is next to Train Mountain and their layouts connect together. Klamath and Western offer public ride sessions. Check with them before going.
Attendance rules change so, like I say, always check with the office before going, but if you can get to one of the Train Mountain "meets" that's your best chance to see some of the members trains and talk with them. If you attend a meet, be prepared to help with track maintenance. The meets require advanced reservations and are not free.
20:58
Leaving in the morning
Any action after Labor Day?
Roll eyes.
👍
Thanks for watching!
Triplex at 20:34
Julian and Ricky came up with that a while ago, smuggling cigarettes to the US.
Is that win 7
