The ending was so funny. The best outro ever. 😂😂😂

Cool to see a CHP Fan!

@@regen_alexander Nice! Also have you ever watched the tv show from the 70’s, “CHiPs”?

[@regen_alexander]

@@MetraEmdF40PH Oh yeah I have, I've watched all of season 5 but I've yet to see the other season's. I also seen the movie with Michael Peña and Dax Shepard when it first came out in theaters in 2017.

For surreeeee

If Eric ever moves, HGTV will make a 2-hour special out of it.

[@gustavosanchez8240]

I want to see that

[@kegancoccovizzo7970]

You should do a documentary series showing the locomotive model you own then show us and talk about the proto type

[@OutaTimeFPV]

The amount of people that don’t understand the Big Boy joke might be funnier than the joke itself!

[@Ericstrains]

I know, right? I thought that surely nobody would take that seriously, but oh well.

[@DomNyce]

@@Ericstrains Yup. Always quite a few slower folks online here.

[@rustyshackelford5876]

I bit at first. But when he repeated it I caught on!🤤

[@TheSteamKing]

When your train collection is worth more than a Lamborghini... I wanna be like Eric when I grow up... lol

[@dickfrenulum1630]

The difference is that you will score a lot more babes with a Lamborghini than you will with a big train collection.

[@TheSteamKing]

@@dickfrenulum1630 Yes but you'll score a quality chick with your train collection lol

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

Eric goes and buys the Lambo anyway.

[@jansenhobbs2214]

Hmm, that is an interesting locomotive! I’ve never seen anything like that “big boy.”

[@oregonrailfan7046]

how do you not know what a big boy is

[@StrictlySteam]

@@oregonrailfan7046 I was just going along with the joke. 😄

Haha joke go brrrrrr

[@Heisler_Studios12]

A big boy is basically a stretched out version of the 3900's

[@TheSteamChannel]

Hell of a collection Eric, a lot of beautiful engines. I like that big Bob or was it the fat boy engine...eh, you know the thing 🤣

[@Tomeleck]

Wow. Who would ever have thought you could produce a video that was both informative and entertaining about INVENTORY? You are simply an amazing model railroader, collector, and an entertainer. Bravo. Very well done. Many thanks, as always, for your video postings. Stay safe, my friend.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Happy Friday! 😁

I don’t want to know what happens when earthquakes hit this house...

[@TonyLasagna]

luckily he doesn’t live in an area that has or is prone to earthquakes ..

[@owena7288]

The Great Train Flex of 2021... that’s what he means!

[@roadwolf2]

When Eric did this he forgot to “review” that little locomotive that was sitting on the step. I think it was in a “fur grey” livery and was a 0-2-2-0 articulated tank with the twin yellow headlights and a chessie nameplate

[@mjc6184]

Nothing short of probably being one of the finest modern O gauge/scale collections out there. Appreciate you sharing this amazing collection with all of us. You do raise a good point with respect to Lionel re-introducing some previous renditions of Vision Line locomotives. In that vein, I wish they would re-introduce the all die-cast ES44s - those engines were fantastic - would love to see a re-introduction with updated legacy features as well as new roadnames et al.

[@Ericstrains]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@starlightproductions9723]

What is that engine? The big.. big something? Big Man? Whatever it is, sure looks small

[@davidstrainsandlego]

I've got a massive collection of...drum real please 14 locomotives

[@thelionelcollector7447]

I’ve got, 4

[@johnsheam43]

I also have 4 locomotives

[@reaperfellsans8478]

@Jaxon Ancona I too, have 2 locomotives

[@danielboone3770]

I really love this model train collection! This is yet inspiring to me too and I love the F3 sets, the AC-9, the George Washington 4-6-2, the Dash 8s, the bi-polar, the 4-12-2, and other steamers. So many trains! I could just look at them a million times.

[@yankeesandy2545]

To all the people who hate your videos well your videos bring me a lot of joy and I really like them

[@mitchcornacchia968]

YOU WIN BROTHER, BRAVO MAGNIFICENT COLLECTION

[@Petertrein81]

Nice collection of trains. Just a little extra info on the European Railion Traxx locomotive. I'm a locomotive engineer with DB Schenker, that is the current name of the former "Railion" company. Your locomotive is a Bombardier Traxx F140 AC1, also known as a "Baureihe 185" in Germany. The difference between AC1 en AC2 on the Traxx F140 can be seen by the shape of the front of the engine. The engine number 185 084-1 also tells it is an AC1.

[@Ericstrains]

Thank you

[@TheLEMRR]

Loco Count: 334... amazing collection

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

That's a pretty impressive collection. What is more impressive is building that collection while raising a family and driving around in New trucks.

[@onlyeminems490]

My dad also got me a RailKing starter set when I was 4. I got the red New York Central locomotive, almost identical to the one you got for your son!

[@johnpatterson4272]

You're livin' large Eric. Model trains keep us all, human. Thank you for everything you believe-in, we believe in the very same things. Just remember, you will NEVER need to declare the state of your personal health to anyone. That's your business, alone. The 'Christmas CP locomotive', I want one of those bad boys.

[@MattsTrainsTractors]

Hope you get better soon Eric. Take your time with videos, no rush

[@giostrainnetwork9267]

Awesome video Eric....thanks for sharing your collection with us.

[@jbmccormick]

This is amazing Eric. I love that you have taken the time to show us your engines. VERY VERY cool. I can't wait to see the 800+ cars.

[@LIMowersAndMore]

The big boy joke flew over my head! 😅😂😅😂

[@Ajwatters]

Thank you for taking the time to show your collection...love to see my favourite train on its own shelf...centipede rocks.

[@bharmon1980]

I'm not jealous of you're collection eric , I'm blown away with amazement. It gives me ideas of more engines I will end up buying for my collection

[@Ericstrains]

Wow, thanks!

[@tallishyeti2756]

Still want to see some super liners behind that Amtrak genesis!

[@Idkwhereimatt]

Very impressive collection you have. I enjoyed watching this.

[@MapleLeafs03319]

Loved this video, honestly I love the amount of different paint schemes, can't wait for the next update!

[@michaelabalos595]

[@zacharydeforest8234]

Thanks for pushing thru. Great video.

[@reaperfellsans8478]

And thus my binge watch begins

[@danielboone3770]

I really love the UP Challenger in the fantasy paint scheme as well! It seems like a 49er paint scheme.

[@zachwheeler9846]

Thats alot engines, but you can never have too many. 😁

Whud up ,Eric glad you're feeling better ! NOW GO PLAY A Bb blues ! SP LIVES

Eric a number of your paterons have youtube channels as well,great review of locomotives thanks for taking the time.

[@Shipwright1918]

To each their own. Personally like collecting locos that are different instead of multiples of the same type.

[@dennisb-trains23]

Glad to hear you feel some better, glad it wasn't the virus.

[@maxpaul11]

Wow! What a beautiful collection you have! Thank you for sharing! Lovely!

[@matthewpearsall9249]

Brilliant video loved seeing them all 👌👍

[@danielboone3770]

I especially love the NYC Hudson 5344. Especially the ESE engine!

[@danielboone3770]

I love the Southern Berkshire #2716 as well and I too love the eagle on the front.

[@markmcfrederick8932]

I was eating a chicken salad sandwich and when you said that about the 4014 BIG BOY, I dropped the plate and the sandwich AND I took a Big Boy gulp and started to choke. I'm OK but I would have laughed right at the time if you would have said something like, "Originally, this was released this 4-8-8-4 in bright Kelly Green paint scheme.". Then, I would have known it was a joke.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

55:48 you really need to store this model, it is a piece of history, I own three from Lionel, two powered and one non powered, (I have had people ask me if I would sell one of my 4141’s and I always say no), and I always keep them in their boxes. I have two from MTH, one Premier and one Railking and recently have taken delivery of the G Scale model.

[@Ericstrains]

ok thanks

[@williamkolina3988]

I've been searching for one of those UP BSA 2010's for years as I earned Eagle Scout in 2016. The last time I saw one for sale, it sold for $1,200, but that'd be a price I'm willing to pay😂

“His train level is over 300!” Vegeta probably…
