Look there's Me looking at the Santa Fe chief.

Nice, I was there in the white sweater!

Great running session! 👍

Yep HO, start then 1993 I seen the magic of lionel, first segment Karl Burkhardt, that did it.

I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!!

Cool Video

Aw man... Him and his videos had a huge impact on this hobby. I can thank him for getting me addicted to trains. Condolences to his close family and friends, we've really lost someone special. His legacy will live on through all his work, and our memories.

Nice! Does the horn work?

Such sad news. His impact on the hobby was monumental. His videos and books are invaluable. His ho lionel video is outstanding.

Such a sad loss for the model railroad community.

It is a very sad day but, Toms legacy will continue to teach our younger generations for years to come about Lionel Trains. Great video, well said!

Very sad. I have quite a few memories of renting I Love Toy Trains Parts 1 - 3 and 4 - 6 on DVD from my local library as a kid and had loads of fun watching them. He will be dearly missed.

8:02 I'm glad you were able to catch NS 4001 too! I saw it at Douglas Ave this morning

I too like the MPC engines. My Grand Trunk GP 7 wobbled exactly like that when I first got it. Turns out one of the wheels on the motorized truck was not concentric. I took the truck apart, pulled the offending wheel and replaced it. The locomotive no longer wobbles. Evidently mine was not an isolated case. Great layout and great assortment of MPC sir.

End of an era. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Well said. I replied this on your Twitter post, but Tom's knack for storytelling and filmography is what the foundation for our generation's love of O gauge is built upon. From I Love Toy Trains, to the Toy Train Reviews, the Christmas train videos, Tinplate Legends, and his magnum opus - A Century of Lionel Trains, he captured the hearts and imaginations of so many. It's very neat you had the pleasure of meeting him. I hope TMBV can carry on covering today's best layouts in the style we know and love. Or at least, give us a special about the life and career of the man himself.

Where's the evidence? I looked but I did not see any research if Tom McComas died. Did he really die? Is this all a hoax? If not, where's the real information?

I wonder if James Coffey, the musician who’d been part of TM’s videos, is gonna make a song dedicated to Tom McComas? He might heard the news about it too?

Without Tom, I wouldn't have been a avid I Love Toy Trains fanatic to this day or any of his other work like John Deere, Big Machines, etc (he never fails to make us laugh, learn and want more). First Brian McConnachie (headwriter for Shining Time Station) is gone, now Tom. I might dedicate my premiere S3 episode of Great Sodor Engines to his memory as there had been a few occasions where some Thomas models appeared and also mentioned.

Without Tom nor his greatest creations, I wouldn’t have been interested to either Toy Trains or Trains in general. Rest in peace Tom, you and your legacy for filming and video producing on Toy Trains will always live on through our hearts 🫡

I always loved his work since I was a little kid. He will be missed by all.

I LOVE HESSTON IM ABOUT TO GO THE 7th time in my life of corce if this is read before laber day weekend

The engines that push your natural gas are not that much different than the engines on that train and Exline industries are not far away. Non-Union state.

I love thomas.❤

Sorry I have to unsubscribe from your channel. No matter how interesting your content may be, I cannot deal with 2-3 notifications from you on a daily basis as that is not just overload, it is spam! Good luck to you.

Holy nostalgia! The Pennsylvania flyer was my first train set back in 2008! And the I love toy trains brought me right back to that time

Excellent

@26:07 Metal Coils being shipped without covers seems an unusual practice, I wonder where they left the tops off at & why? @32:35 MOW Trucks were the most interesting part.

I've seen that engine! It got the most screen time on I Love Toy Trains 1

❤ 3768

I love steam locomotives

Will they put the 2816 in a museam someday?

I absolutely LOVE 😍 the little "Kiddieland Limited" Challenger 4-6-4! - assuming that it was built as an amusement park locomotive, delighted to see that it's been preserved & is running! 😎 Looks like it's styled somewhat after New York Central's streamlined Hudsons. Both it & the Czech 0-4-0 have impressive whistles & "stack talk"! 😀

You caught a few interesting loads and car types mixed into the manifests. Transformer Load on a depressed flat, Flat with Pipes, Coil cars, High-sided Gondola, Wheel load, Green wrapped lumber load, Double stacked wheel load and another single along with a MOW Ballast car and a few nice paint scheme cars like the bright red boxcars and the green hopper cars. A train doesn't seem like a train to me without a caboose and I am also surprised none of the engineer's tooted the horn for you.

*Flashbacks to I Love Toy Trains*

was the Shay around or do they have that away in storage somewhere?

Kiddieland Limited my beloved

I love that green locomotive.

It’s nice to see that Czech Republic tank engine back in service as a kid I grew up seeing her from all the train footage from I love toy trains specifically I love toy trains part one and part six she has an amazing sounding Baldwin three chime whistle that sounded good in I love toy trains part one

I was here. Although I love all the albums, for some reason I found myself less hyped about Human than the internet consensus. However this bass solo going into Lack of Comprehension and then the song itself and the other Human track that was played live was so damn good I felt like I “got it.” Also everyone online who says that The Song of Perseverance is just “riff salad” or that the song structures are weak clearly have never experienced them live. The songs really breathed and the transitions built up the music so well and gave moshers a chance to catch their breath. Great live music all around. Can’t wait to see them again.

Looks like they've been busy adding signals and CTC. I cannot believe that track was "Dark" with track warrants until the 2020s! This is their prime transcontinental route now.

Good to have met you at Ottumwa yesterday sir

Nice to see the old cabooses you don't usually see anymore.

Awesome, I wonder how the steam locomotive they started constructing is progressing? When I was last there they had it outside, this was years ago though.

Another cool video dude

Maybe the best show I've ever seen. What a night it was!

This vid is insane quality! I must have been just behind you to the left and it feels like I'm reliving the show! Thank you for uploading \m/

Pacific type steam locomotive ?

I see the highliners are still there.
