Those miniature trains look cool to ride one.

[@Ryan-719]

[@darkokole439]

[@bbergs8628]

[@jolarson6791]

Thanks for this Jim! It was lots of fun, riding along with you!

[@curlyp2]

Great video. Thanks

[@sikpung]

Hi Jim. Thanks for sharing. It was such a calming ride. Wish I could go on it. Please take care of yourself and happy retirement. I got 5 more years to go.

[@gallo2749]

OMG I always loved trains that's really nice bro

[@Stanf954]

Need to blow the whistle at the grade xings.

[@michaelglass4701]

I'm a Model Railroder, Looooove your video 👍🛤️🚂

[@jenniehills293]

I like your videos because it is fun

[@RailsofForney]

Also, that diesel steam engines whistle sounded quite sick...

[@PercyfanJamestheredcollector]

That's fantastic video

[@mylesjohnson3775]

Wow I need to go there

[@thomascomeau9271]

In this video, you compare the HO scale caboose to the G scale caboose of the Christmas Coca Cola steam train from LGB that you will make a video about it. But you received an invitation to the Bitter Creek Western Railroad in San Luis Obispo County and you got to ride on one of the biggest model trains on a big layout. I like to go there sometime in the future. This is Thomas Comeau signing off for today!

Dude just walked into my work not even 10 minutes ago with his shirt advertising his channel. Luckily I was just given my break so I went to go look his channel up. Now I’m here. Hey, he’s got 200K subs so I guess he’s doing something right.

[@JimZim]

McDonald's in Philomath, Oregon? And for anyone else reading this, when he says "dude"... he means me!

[@TheBlindCanadianCat]

Jim Zimmerlin howdy sir. Hope you enjoyed the meal or whatever you got. I don’t remember.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

also jim are you going to have live steam trains to ?

[@Sonic.Mario.64]

Very nice! I always wonder how they work and how tiny they are!

[@colinwilhelms6813]

I love watching BIG model trains, although you didn't say what gauge it was.

[@crustyhotdog7940]

It's 1/8 scale.

[@SteamZRailfan]

Love the big train, how can I get one of those?

[@plymouth-hl20ton37]

Steam Z there are companies out there that build and sell these but if you buy a Bridgeport Mill and a decent-sized South Bend Lathe you can build one which is what a lot of people do

[@RailsofForney]

I’m a young model railroader too. I use HO scale though and yes, it is a somewhat small gauge, but the lemonade here is that it is VERY inexpensive to get and operate, in fact, your Santa Fe super chief costed, what? 900+ dollars? Well, you could get the exact same engine with the exact same features for cheaper than half that.(not to start any kind of who’s the wiser person kinda thing)

[@brandonnixon7105]

How do model trains give out that smoke? Is it like a fog machine type of thing or steam?

[@JimZim]

It's steam.

[@plymouth-hl20ton37]

Brandon Nixon on the East Coast there usually coal fired so they blow out black smoke some on the west coast are oil-fired so they'll blow out various colors of dark smoke and some are propane-powered

[@danielklingensmith3096]

Vapor

[@caad3333]

How many miles is the main line, great views. Jose Silva G Scale

[@trainwmw9526]

I wish I had one

[@froskus]

Nice, try getting yourself invited to Train Mountain as well and make a video from there :-) Greetings from Norway!

[@JimZim]

As a matter of fact, I had a two-hour train ride at Train Mountain just a few days ago! That will be the subject of a future video, which you'll see a few weeks from now.

[@JimZim]

By the way, have you been to Train Mountain? Or do you just know it from word of mouth in the train world?

[@froskus]

Jim Zimmerlin I have never been there, actually never been to the USA either... I just came across it under videos recommended for me here on KZbin (after watching several train videos). I have alto watched a lot of your cruise videos, and I really liked those videos. So keep up the good work.

[@Foobie07]

Florida has one of these.

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Wonder what that private railway cost to lay just the track.

[@ericpogorzelski7049]

I would love to see the coca cola train and I just saw lionel version in the 2015 toy fair at the lionel train show room

[@bananabros7]

What scale is it?

[@matthewcochran4626]

Wanna go their but I can’t because of the dumb old corona virus

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum in elbe,wa Chehalis-Centralia Railroad & Museum in 1101 SW Sylvenus St, Chehalis, WA 98532 Oregon Rail Heritage Center, Southeast Water Avenue, Portland, OR Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, American Avenue, Garibaldi, OR Oregon Coast Railriders, Hayes Oyster Drive, Bay city or and also go to the Tillamook cheese Creamery Visitor Center just north of tillamock,Oregon

[@JimZim]

It's quite likely that I'll be visiting the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad in the next few days, although it may be early August before any video of it appears on my channel. I'll be vacationing along the Oregon coast this week.

[@RailsofForney]

Lol!
