A Model Train Shunting Video

[@davidstrains4910]

Good to see some shunting

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks David, yeah it was a good fun one to film! All the best, Sam :)

David you are so old iron mate

Princess Celestia said that word

[@allythepanda1437]

There’s something about these videos that I really love, they inspire me to make one of my own( when I have the space)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much! I'm doing another like this too! Good luck with your layout too when you get around to it! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@ryank1273]

Space, time, and money! I'm currently going through my grandpa's model train collection, after he passed. Anything train related went to me. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of some very good switches because they were broken, but I am very lucky to have some trains that are working, but definitely needs to be cleaned.

[@thomasfan68]

me too

[@FunAngelo2005]

I don't know why,but shunting is verry satisfying

[@StandardGoose]

I've discovered recently that I find watching small locomotives shunting slowly is very calming. Like watching fish in an aquarium. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this video genuinely had a positive effect on my mental health.

[@SamsTrains]

That's fantastic to hear mate, I can see what you mean there! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Ryan_Rail]

Normily people don't talk in shunting videos, but I achily like it!

[@SamsTrains]

Oh really?! I always like to talk my way through it - then people actually know what I'm trying to do, haha! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@lukehughes6094]

Great video sam. Really enjoy seeing different locomotive shunting. Can not wait to see more videos like.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Luke - really glad you enjoyed this one! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@UltraEntertainment_Plush]

Who doesn’t love the classic joy of engines getting cars and coaches together very good video

[@SamsTrains]

haha absolutely - it never gets boring! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@PennsyPappas]

This is very cool seeing what I assume is your very first shunting video. I'm watching your thomas shunting videos but am sad that all of them as well as older thomas videos cant be commented on. But I appreciate that you're using them for more than just play time. You're using them for actual railroading work and for that I salute you. I remember doing stuff like that when I was a kid running on our train club layout. Top Notch.

[@hobbitnerdsteamworks]

can you do a shunting session with Thomas locos?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah! A few people have asked for that - so I will try and do it yeah! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@hobbitnerdsteamworks]

[@jackplaysgamez7231]

[@MadHymek323]

I find engines shunting the most soothing thing in the world.

[@SamsTrains]

That's great to hear! I hope you enjoy this then! All the best, Sam :)

[@TrainMaster2004]

I really love these running sessions with all of the different locomotives. i especially loved this one, because i have always loved watching locos shut trains to their pickup spot. it has always been a thing that i loved.

[@SamsTrains]

That's really great to hear - I will try to do more one day, glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sam :)

[@paulrichards742]

A very nice, uncomplicated video of a shunting session and the trains then running around. I only wish I had been there to help!

[@peters1127]

Sam, enjoyed every minute of the shunting process, Your layout is perfect for shunting for hours.

[@joeydr1497]

You could use a bbq skewer to uncouple the train by lifting that little lever that connects them

[@SamsTrains]

That's a good idea Joey! :D

[@michaelschultz5127]

The railroad must have giant brakeman helping out today 😆 remember always have fun with your railroad. Cheers mate!

[@SamsTrains]

haha definitely! And that's very sound advice! :3 Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@grahamcraw2278]

A great video, and a very difficult one to do. I know from experience, shunting with short wheel base wagons is not easy and difficult to do on 2nd. radius points. you make it it look simple and are not angry when things go wrong, so very well done indeed.

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you Graham, much appreciated! There was certainly a degree of editing going on with this! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@leeludlowart237]

I got my little jinty in a set and from someone who is no longer with me. My dad. and thanks to you sam I was able to stop the screaming she made as she ran. Thanks to you.

[@thegreensim4534]

I really enjoyed this video Sam! Great job mate.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate, appreciate it! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

Ah! I find shunting layouts and such more entertaining than a full loop personally. Lots more happening.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that's true - though my favourites are loop layouts WITH a shunting yard - then even more can happen! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

+Sam'sTrains Yep! I have a small N scale portable switching/shunting layout, and I will admit that it does get a bit bland after a while. Whereas my HO/00 has a yard area and a loop, the great part with that is that a run-around loop isn't needed.

[@oliverthegreatwesternengin8029]

Well that was Fantastic! Do more of these please. I also have a request for a running Session: A running Session with Double Headers.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate - I will try to do more! Very nice idea too - I'll write that one down! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@stashyjon]

Nice one Sam, very entertaining. More shunting please. A couple of possible scenarios. 1) a large 35 wagon mixed freight arrives behind a 9f or 28xx or the like and a couple of shunters have to distribute the wagons to various sidings. 2) A big train arrives as bfeore but the shunters have to re-marshall it into two smaller 'pick up; type local goods which are then hauled away by 0-6-0's or 2-6-0's or the like. Anyway I can watch shunting all day. All the best mate Jon

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Jon - glad you found it entertaining! Thanks for the scenario ideas too - they sound stressful, but well worth a try! All the best, Sam :)

[@DavidTheNickjrFan2003]

[@SamsTrains]

[@sirmugman]

what you need is a small maginet and a thin stick or pole, some string or rope, tie the maginet onto the stick with the string then make sure its sercure, after then you can poke it between the trucks/coaches and not have to de-rail or show your hands doing it,

[@SamsTrains]

Oooh very clever - I might have to try that! Cheers for that, Sam :)

Hi Sam, enjoyed the shunting for a refreshing change. Shouldn't the brake van be at the back of the load of the 3F and not next to the engine? Can I just say that if shunting is one area where derailment is likely, especially when pushing, that you have demonstrated that laying track on carpet is NO BIG ISSUE !!!
