It's nice to see that you're contributing to the development of the next generation of high-speed trains. I'm sure the InterCity 850 will continue to be a smashing success.

You could use your main layout with trains on it as a ballast to start up that variac 😀👍

[@ToyotaMKIII]

Its an honest shame how at the time of this comment, less than a day after this video has been posted, it only has 8,600 views. I absolutely love these experimental videos you do Sam, its cool to see what you make and how they perform. Thank you for making them, from one of your fans across the pond.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much for the support! Really glad you enjoyed it :3 Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@highbrookendmodelrailway]

Since the last episode of Sam builds dodgy things that are slightly related to model railways...... My electrical engineer inside of me is *even more* interested. More high voltage, more high current, more high speed high intertia rotating equipment, more dangerous experiments which make it even more interesting! You've done it again Sam, another very watchable and very interesting experiment.

[@SamsTrains]

haha many thanks, glad you liked it mate!! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@D.O.T.D.]

your explanations about your trains is just GOLD!

[@SamsTrains]

When I see Sam's Trains and experiment, I think oh no here we go again. Did you know that a jet engine powered prototype locomotive was actually made in real life in America?

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah I did see that in a movie once - amazing stuff! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@bentullett6068]

@@mattydorr1522 even though I am from Britain as well I like watching NASCAR as my brother is into it and has got me watching a few races. I have also been to Daytona to watch the 24 hr IMSA endurance racing twice. The American Jet powered train was known as the M-497 and it looked like something off one of Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds

[@bulwellforestgardenrailway5301]

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]

That's a great idea - O gauge could be do-able, and it'd be much more stable! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@RichardKuivila1947]

SAM ! Fantastic Project. Really rang my bell. Best Escargot I've ever had !

[@dannyminxe5807]

First thought: Oh no, not again! Second thought: This is brilliantly Ludicrous!

[@SamsTrains]

haha!! Glad you liked it mate, thank you!! :D

[@wedding824]

This reminds me of thomas and the jet engine all over agian. Opinion: put thomas at the front of the turbine and let them run.

[@SamsTrains]

haha me too! ;D

[@tracksidefilms5416]

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!

[@thefutureofyesterday8136]

This is something unique and unheard of so props for this idea. The ideas are endless when thinking outside the box. Thanks for the video. 👍

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).
