A Huge New Model Train Layout With 8 G-scale Trains

[@streamer_services]

This man living the good life while being retired......looks like a hell of a good time sir.

[@jodililley8385]

My 2 year old son loved this and I love you are living the dream!!!

[@ka1133]

I love all the trains! My 3 year old grandson seems to gravitate to the steam engines. He hasn’t seen this video yet, but will tomorrow when I have him for the day.

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

take him see one of the excursion locomotives like big boy 4014 or to a heritage railroad somewhere whatever is closest

[@jerrymccrae7202]

I'm glad to hear boys haven't changed Much. When I was about his age maybe a little older ALL types of trains were just neat to me. Best evening was talking my folks to take me to the switching yards downtown!

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

@@jerrymccrae7202 That must have been a real treat to see that as a kid.

[@pinchy08]

I really missed these videos. And it’s unique you set it all up on your driveway.

[@jefferyharshman3319]

Truly playing with trains. Love it. Love the White Pass steam train. A great way to play without a permanent layout.

[@johncalvillo9356]

I loved all of them

[@Trainboy_4014Productions]

I have a request to make all Santa Fe

[@larrybruce4856]

Fantastic-----My favorite toy as a kid was my American Flyer train set with bridges, crossing signals, lights, water tower, and other accessories. Long live the toy trains ! ! !

[@a_midland_engine]

I’m 10th! Yay! I wish I had this amount of g scale, i only have a oval and 1 engine and 2 coaches.

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

3D printing is a good way to make frieght cars cheaply you can break even after about 20 cars too

[@ranrez7648]

Keep hoping for the good to come never stop

[@andyguyuk1]

Its you imagination, the rest comes later!!

[@Flutronko]

Well ya know what, we all got a build our collection from somewhere

[@electricgaming9914]

You’ll get there

[@19brittani]

Thanks Jim. Need this chill vibe..👍🏾

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

I love this!! As someone who has always set up his trains on the floor, this is a dream come true!!! I admit, I'm totally envious of your set-up!!! Thank you for sharing it with us and transporting me back to my childhood playmagination!!!!!

[@thomasmcneely3167]

I like the Super Chief with the war bonnet color scheme

[@davidzamora4423]

I like the all if the trains. Thank you for sharing them with us. Have fun on your retirement!!

[@PresidentBrony]

It's really good to see your trains again Jim.

[@sirhilsam]

This is the dream...and the life. Wow! I started last Christmas with a Hornby ho Christmas train set. Luvin every moment of it.

[@leokimvideo]

Be careful showing any Thomas trains, KZbin will whack you down as a kids video in time. I have endless videos that are now worthless because of their busted AI systems

[@everettrailfan]

No way, you're here! Sup! I was a huge fan of your videos a few years back!

[@Nico93]

Im pretty sure the bot would had marked jim year's ago, he has shown a few thoma's and friend's model's a ton, for a while he did cruise ship review's.

[@JimZim]

I make more ad revenue from my video "Thomas & Friends Arrive In California" than I do from any other video on my channel. So, Thomas & Friends will definitely continue to be a part of the mix around here.

[@leokimvideo]

@@JimZim Very weird because every video I have had get slam dunked it be a 'Kids" video earns near next to nothing compared to the as income before 'Kids' KZbin ripped apart that side of KZbin. Just about every top toy review producer stopped producing once this change happened. Anyway I notice many people agree with my warning about venturing into anything 'Kids' these days. So sad how this site keeps destroying the ability to be successful here.

[@leokimvideo]

@@Nico93 I have been on this site long enough to see the really good times and the absolute train wreck it's become today. The KZbin AL & Bots are now basically set to trip you up at every move. If it looks like your becoming popular expect to be smacked down pretty fast. Everyone I know who was producing 'Kids" style videos suffered a 90% drop in ad revenue. The KZbin systems could now see that a video may be made for a 'general' audience. Something that has info for both children and adults. The definition of a 'Kids' video is a joke. The lack of definition for a 'general audience' video is criminal. Jim Zim's video about Thomas going to California hasn't been on the site long enough for him to see the incredible years that were prior to say 2015. But the downfall actually started to kick in at 2012 when 'partner for all' was allowed. That just littered KZbin with rip off scam producers who destroyed the confidence in any advertisers spending money here. I could explain more but sadly so many people just want to ignore my long experience on this site. So enough said.

[@robertcooney4139]

Thank you for sharing your talents and trains, I've been modeling for 60 years now... Bob Cooney Salt Lake City Utah 👌

[@vernonmatthews181]

Thanks Jim for an entertaining experience, loved how we got to four simultaneous trains in a single camera shot ( nearly 5 ) and the drone shot. You have gone to some trouble putting this together, thanks for sharing on KZbin.😎👍👌😁

[@acrranscaleandlifejourney4330]

Looking good Jim. Looks like you bought some more track. Thanks for the video.

[@JimZim]

When we moved up here to Washington from our previous (much smaller) place in California, I ended up buying about $2000 of additional track... just so I'd have enough to run a couple of sets of tracks all the way around our back yard. I haven't had to buy any other track since then.

[@bryansonnet2454]

First time seeing any of your videos, and i must say with a big smile, WOW!! You take 1st prize, I never saw anyone doing anything close to this layout in the garage and driveway. What a collection!!

[@Chuck59ish]

I suppose Toby would have tipped over too. Nice layout.

[@ustoopia]

Half way through this video I suddenly realized that I had an incredible huge smile on my face. So I had to come to the conclusion that I really love trains. Especially this scale of model trains.

[@jonfun]

Mr. Zim, you're epic‼️💯 Thank you kind sir.

[@garybeans3788]

Just a great setup, thanks for putting in all the effort to bring these to us. See you at Chirstmas?

[@darkokole439]

Свака част, лепа колекција макета возова. Мислим да би требао повезати пар пруга, тако да се возови укрштају, као што се сада лепо мимоилазе. Every part, a beautiful collection of model trains. I think it should connect a couple of tracks so that the trains intersect, as they now pass nicely.

[@bobbit8987]

I love it, GOPRO international railroad.

[@BigDawgCleveland]

They were all amazing! Thanks Jim!

[@michaelrushman4659]

Love the video, They are all awesome but the Santa Fe War Bonnet is my favorite. I'm an O gauge collector and live in Richland, like seeing other model railroaders that live close to me, thanks for sharing and welcome to Washington State

[@lelandlycette8178]

I just love all of the model trains. I do like the interaction as well as the lay out, that goes along with it.

[@sgttombailes3380]

I Love Them All ! Thanks for sharing !!

[@chuckkirkpatrick6712]

God I love where you live....clear skies....and you must have very nice neighbors.....because there's no way you're putting all that stuff away before nightfall unless you work thru the night....or your neighbors and kids are nice enough not to mess with all that!!

[@JimZim]

Yeah, this is the kind of neighborhood where you can leave a layout like that on your driveway for a couple of nights and it's just the way you left it in the morning.

[@marjon92]

AWESOME!!! I’m 72 and I’d be right there with the kids in your neighborhood. I’ve always loved model railroads. Great job!

[@t.e.g.4405]

Nice seeing your temporary layout I know you went to a lot of trouble to lay all that track and to keep it clean enough to run all those trains it's great that you could do this it's good to get out there and show the young people the enthusi asm that can be had with having a train go ahead RUN WITH A CLEAN STACK

[@GenialesTuning]

*@Jim Zim* einfach nur großartig es aht soviel Spaß gemacht zuzuschauen vielen Herzlichen Dank!

[@karenvinzant823]

PRAISE THE LORD! He has uploaded another train video, finally!

[@riogonzalez3572]

Jim Zim even has model trains of Thomas the tank engine and friends too! He's got Thomas (the tank engine), Percy (the small green engine), James (the red engine), Toby (the tram engine), Emily (the beautiful dark green engine), and Winston (the railway red car) with Sir Topham Hatt on board on the driver's seat!

[@brendawheeler4397]

Love your videos! My grandson is into trains and we love to watch your video’s. He wants me to build tracks like yours 😳. Alberta some day. We got to see the 611 again this year in Lancaster PA and she is a beauty! He got to sitinghe engineers seat, what an experience it was. Thank you for sharing your videos we thoroughly enjoy them.

[@K-Effect]

In the summertime this is what I do with my HO scale track and trains, it's a lot of fun to see them outside

[@The2000ss]

I love the Santa Fe super chief. My favorite train of all time.

[@kevinbrown4068]

I just LOVE your art and passion. IT IS VERY nice work!

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Nice just need houses and mountains .

[@nw5835]

Magnificent, I've ridden the White Pass Train From Skagway, Alaska. I had some photos of the old steam locos that use to do that route but sadly can't find them anymore, this was way back in the 70's, they were all stored next to the shipping berth.

[@georgethomas7814]

Just brilliant thank you for sharing

[@transmitterguy478]

Putting that track together was a lot of knee time! WOW!

[@JimZim]

Exactly, and I'm a little bit past my prime, too!

[@V_MA]

Damn!!! What a Monstrous Layout! I feel like stopping by and watch all that action while I sit and drink a blackberry iced tea.

[@robertschmidt6383]

Really like the sound effects on the first engine. Especailly the horn. Very realistic.

[@Flutronko]

I think the best parts about this is A.) it’s cool watching a guy just play with his model trains B.) it’s very nice to let the neighbor hood kids watch

[@gurpalgrewal4784]

Beautiful love model trains

[@hawwab]

Love that 0-4-0 with the 2 ore cars.

[@madiantin]

I bet the kids really enjoyed it! So fun.

[@Gauge1LiveSteam]

This is fire. Need to get some live steam on the pike.

[@derekthompson6653]

I love it. Love your train sets. I been collecting 1980s New Bright train sets.

[@jackmoorman6925]

I love All Of Them.

[@richarddonalds4759]

This layout of model trains is so marvelous. I would to have to have a setup like this.

[@rogerpereira3117]

All I can say is I wish I had you're dedication to my hobby (retro/new gamming/want to build a game room) as to yours. It's impressive by far. I hope to see some land scaping build...at least on the inside of the garage lol. might if you haven't think of opening it up to the neighborhood kids to see, looks like a fun way to interact and fun raised for a fav charity you may have in mind!

[@dennisb-trains23]

Holy Trains Batman!!

[@gatorickc1274]

Always enjoy your train videos. I’m kinda partial to the White Pass steam engine. Thanks for sharing your hobby with us.

[@trenano]

Enjoy your nice train and your free time. Very beautiful passion. I have my HO train, packed for a long time. I loose my house, here in Chile in dificult now.

[@aprilmiddaugh8261]

My son (5) liked the 1st train best. He LOVES trains and was so excited to see your video!

[@JimZim]

I have 139 different model train videos on my channel, so feel free to explore and binge!

[@johnnybushman651]

That was grate , thanks for the video Sir. Good luck with the retirement . I got 1year and 2weeks before I’m done, can’t wait.

[@kenhoganson9481]

A TON of track! And a lot of work for a temp layout. And a drone too! Very, Very cool!!

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Marvelous Railroad.Nice long Rails

[@Samarien80]

Vidéo très agréable, j'y vois ma motrice préférée : la GE-ES44AC de General Motors. Félicitations et bonjour de France.

[@patrickdimeglio5815]

Enjoyed your video!!!! I can't wait to retire!!!! My favorite trains were the BNSF , SANTA FE CHIEF PASSENGER TRAIN & THE WHITE PASS STEAMER!!!! I have been a train collector since 10 yrs. Old!!!! I currently have a train room in California with 3 Xmas themed layouts!!!! The room is 16 ×32!!!!

[@bennetfox]

That's awesome how you have an A and a B unit on your Super Chief!

[@SLTrainBoy]

I am 18 years old But i never seen eny type of model trains You are so lucky Congratulations to your effort

[@patrickbrannan7752]

My four year old loves Thomas and Percy. I am partial to the BNSF freight. Sweet video. I am hoping to get started on my O-scale layout soon.

[@stevedoubleu99B]

What's not to like? Great fun!! The excellent flat concrete no doubt helped a lot. I am in UK, but never realized that Thomas is big in the US as well. Enjoy your retirement sir.

[@davidsheriff8989]

Awesome.....Jim loves his trains for sure....

[@TheTravellingScotsman]

Absolutely love the freight train. What a great use of the drone for the overhead shots, Jim! I chuckled when I saw you with the bellows 😅

[@rorythomson8763]

As a fellow model rail roader I just love what you are doing here and my favorite has to be the White pass steam engine

[@dennismundt7378]

Wow.... so beautiful. ♥

[@arthenry498]

WOW That is wonderful.. Thank you for doing all this work and sharing it with us.

[@everettrailfan]

LOVING that BNSF SD70ACe "thundercab" with the K5LLA. Not a huge fan of them IRL but they're still cool to see in G-scale! haha

[@dennysguild8210]

Loved the sound effects best, and the fact that you were obviously living the dream

[@alanmusicman3385]

This made me smile from ear to ear! Great job here Jim - and great photography too. Loving the train door!! Thanks for sharing this. Best wishes from the UK.

[@bubbapate5740]

Moved from Nevada to Texas several years ago. I had a G scale back yard layout in Nevada. And on Halloween I would set up trains on our driveway and side walks as you did here for the kids to see. Oct. 31st is a state holiday in Nevada and the kids are out of school. But the first house we bought in Texas was not layout friendly. Now our second house9 years later has a 2 acre yard and I am now too old to do the the up and down work. I do have tons of engines and cars. About 1,200 feet of track left. I keep saying I will do an elevated layout this time. Hope I get to.

[@1962cheese]

Brilliant to watch, the Santa Fe is my fav. Good luck.

[@sailingschooners8668]

Wow ! Great fun and time to set up Jum...utterly fabulous...

[@dannyjones3840]

Poor Percy lol. Reminds me of the time when my son threw his Thomas out the window at 65 mph lol. He was pretty beat up after I found him.

[@roberttaylor2394]

I'm Bob from Bristol Pennsylvania I like that Burlington North I mean the Burlington northern Santa Fe SD 4 0 or SD40 sd70 a c e that looks great I like the train it's I even got sound and I think that's a super thing when you can put it outside like that in your front your driveway but that's an awesome setup you have all right thank you for the having the video Bob Taylor

[@jinipworld3804]

nicely done

[@titaniumman1493]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@railwayjade]

Super Chief is my favourite!

[@pzavis25]

Very cool. That BNSF SD70ACe is beautiful.

[@larrydavis8393]

Loved it.... thanks for sharing!!

[@deweyhall712]

Good job, on the layout. However, the g scale big boy 4014 would looke real cool on this track..

[@robinduncan7711]

I like the horn on the Santa fe

[@stgrock4148]

BNSF is my favorite. My grandsons love the Super Chief. Looks like a lot of fun. I am into HO scale and have a large collection but I always wanted a G scale train. I am retiring this year and might just buy into a starter set and try it out. My grandsons would just jump for joy. Keep up the videos we watch them all the time. Take care.

[@markfryer9880]

[@THE_IRON_HORSE]

Aye yes that BNSF SD70ACE with that K5LLA horn sheeeesh great video man

[@davidadam6997]

Great video! As far as people asking why you don't build a permanent layout in your backyard, it's YOUR railroad and you can do what YOU want with it! Personally, I do HO and vintage American Flyer. I only set up the AF at Christmas and then back into storage for at least another year. Keep on enjoying the hobby!

[@ForvoQuizlet]

Nice trains but...I wish my driveway concrete was in such immaculate condition : ) Thanks for posting!

[@JimZim]

The house is only a year old. Give me some time and that driveway will surely show some age!

[@marioreacts9495]

I love the Santa Fe super chief’s horn

[@mrg4838]

Love it, especially the BNSF train.
