    as a person who also made a jet-powered train using hot glue, an EDF, and a train chassis. I've noticed that hauling performance increases when you have it pushing instead of pulling, this is because the train cars don't interfere with the jetwash. Yours looks much scarier than mine though!

    I really do like these experiment videos. As a suggestion, how about moving the jet engine propeller on to an O gauge or G gauge frame and cranking the power up further? The tracks and wheels can take more power at those gauges and the wider axle base should provide extra stability. You could even have a go at streamlining it. Looking forward to the next one 😁

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  3 роки тому +3

      That's a great idea - O gauge could be do-able, and it'd be much more stable!

    One way to overcome the the stability issue is parallel sets of track. The only thing is making sure the tracks are precisely spaced along the test strip. Then have the duct mounted between two running chassis parallel with each other. Just a thought for the future.

    Maybe try hot glueing some weights to the locomotive, might help it not do a backflip off the tracks, but other than that I loved it, good one

Just love watching you do the most outrageous things that I'd love to do but just can't afford the collateral damage cost !!! Now I know why I look for your videos mostly every night. Keep em coming lad, great stuff. Cheers Rick the Bulldog

    Another mad experiment by Sam ! I love it !
    Some ideas :
    1) do a loop with rails and try to run a train on it ;
    2) run on scale some transcontinental trains. E. G. : Trans-Siberian : 9289 km, in OO = 123 km to run, Le Canadien/Canadian = 4466 km, in OO = 59 km to run, Amtrak Sunset Limited = 3211 km, OO scale 43 km to run ;
    3) try to run a real diesel locomotive in O scale (OO, think it's not possible).
    If I find more, i let you know !

    1960s BR: I hope you R&D blokes are taking notes.
    And so five of the BR Class 13 "Snails" entered service pulling commuter trains out of London. Unfortunately, BR was being an impulsive buyer at the time, and never tested the locomotives, so they developed a host of problems from the start, including:
    Rocketing out of the engine terminal so quick they derailed
    Rocketing out of the station so quick they derailed.
    A tendency to fry their electronics systems every run.
    Needing a fan so big it couldn't fit in Paddington.
    The big snails plastered on the sides coming loose and flying off at high speeds.
    And so the Snail Class was unceremoniously retired after 12 hours of service. BR was so embarrassed by the failure that they not only scrapped them, but dumped them in the Mariana Trench. The class was almost forgotten about by the model manufacturers until Sam kitbashed a relatively accurate model for his OO layout, which, like the prototypes, lasted all of 12 hours before being retired.

We live in an age where politics has invaded and ruined pretty much everything, and I hope you realize how much fun and joy your offerings bring people. Your channel is an oasis of fun and good feelings. Long Live Sam’s Trains (may it last far longer than some of your experiments hahaha!)

    At 1:32 when you were describing your desired stipulations for your new propeller train, for some reason whilst envisioning your thumbnail, the lead-in to Judas Priest's "Dragonaut" came to mind: "Welcome! to my world of steel! Master of my domain!"
    It wasn't until the machine tipped over that I realized you colour-coded the snails to act as navigation lights. That was pretty cool.
    An alternative title is "Sam Breaks ThrustSSC's land speed record".
