Meet the Fleet! - My Entire LEGO Train Collection (56 Models)

[@RioGrandeMan-c5r]

Wow you have a large collection! Can’t wait to see what comes next!!

[@danjotrains]

Thanks! 😄

[@christineehninger7135]

Great train collection! Loved the video! I enjoy your commentary like when you said "There's elegance in simplicity"

[@danjotrains]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and my commentary! 😁

[@BANANAsuit231_eggs]

18:34 When I rebuilt my Orient express, I actually put a set of bogie wheels under the cab to more resemble the 231 pacific. The wheels are a little too small but it’ll do. I’ve also rebuilt the valve gear so I could use some of the parts for another engine (video coming soon(not a shameless advertisement)). Anyway, nice collection!

[@susanlua4792]

231??? Don’t you mean 4-6-2??

[@BANANAsuit231_eggs]

@@susanlua4792the class is called a “231” I was not referring to the wheel configuration

[@susanlua4792]

@ ooooooh ok then sorry for the misunderstanding

[@danjotrains]

Thanks! I'll be sure to check out your Orient Express video too.

[@BANANAsuit231_eggs]

@@danjotrainsjust a note, I have given it the name “Garfield” cus why not :)

[@BirbarianHomeGuard]

The color sensors look awesome.

[@jimg7508]

Nice train collection you have their

[@loganjorgensen]

Awesome video, very nice collection. I'm more of a casual train guy, that Maersk takes commitment.💸

[@danjotrains]

Thanks! And yes, the Maersk was a bit of an investment 😅

[@chicagolandrailroader]

Awesome! The T motor is my favorite.

[@garysprandel1817]

Funny thing is the orange T motor actually had a prototype in the Chicago South Shore & South Bend purchased surplus T motors from NYC subsidiary Cleveland Union Terminal and modified them for freight service. OK spotted the Mystery Machine, Doc and Marty paying a vist to the Ghostbusters and what looks like Dom's Charger. And is that Top Gear's Stig standing next to Ecto One?

[@danjotrains]

Wow, I had no idea about these Chicago R2 Freight Electrics before! Just looked them up, can't believe they're orange too. 😄 And well spotted! Next to Ecto One is the Bass Bot minifigure from the Vidiyo sets.

[@WizardTrains]

Another great video bud! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@danjotrains]

Thank you! More exciting stuff coming soon!

[@SoxOPhone]

toto is so cute!

[@omardin8410]

I know sapphire star, you’re watching your express engine, sapphire star back there, she’s a sweet engine

[@Tanksbeforetruck1738]

The Lone Ranger Constitution train did not have a safe in the original set, to my knowledge. It had a mounted gatling gun that could spin, and had a container with a few bottles and such, but no safe.

[@chelletowsend8115]

I have 5 and thought that was a lot 😊

[@danjotrains]

Five is a solid collection! I started with a few too, and before I knew it... 😜

[@dawidpiotrowski1605]

Hi, so I told you I was creating a small narrow train, and you told me to inform you when I finish. So I did it. It's on Rebrickable for free. Have fun with this one, hope you like it😊

[@danjotrains]

Good job fitting all the electronics in there!

[@dawidpiotrowski1605]

@danjotrains thank you, I try to make it close to real😊

[@susanlua4792]

[@TriassicBricks]

Are you Ex0 on Rebrickable? If you are I checked out your moc and it's amazing

[@Biglick_bricks]

Good stuff! Glad I found the channel

[@danjotrains]

@@Biglick_bricks Thanks! And welcome 😁

[@Adder6112]

Can't wait to see How you motorized the mouth of the Hidden side Engine?

[@danjotrains]

It's just a couple of simple gears, but the angular motor creates all the magic!

[@jinipworld3804]

Nice Collection....

[@zionjarman3610]

The lone ranger set did not come with a safe or silver it came with a Gatling Gun on the flat car

[@danjotrains]

Oh you're right! Nice catch. I had to double-check, the safe is from the Stagecoach Escape set.

[@PirateAdmiral-bx6sx]

I wish there was a lego set based on the Kahului railroad.

[@danjotrains]

I looked up the Kahului Railroad, and those narrow gauge locomotives are pretty cool! Would definitely be awesome to see them in Lego.

[@PirateAdmiral-bx6sx]

@danjotrains aye

[@PirateAdmiral-bx6sx]

@@danjotrains Fun Fact there only I think 4 Locomotives still exsit today. 1.Claus Spreckels is back home on Maui at the Maui tropical plantation rusting. 2. The Pinnaplea I'm pretty sure I spell it wrong. Is at george town loop in a Narrow gauge railway. 3.there another train but it's privately owned by someone in californa. 4.i don't remmber which diesl Locomotive it was but somewhere in mexico or somewhere is a diesl Locomotive that used for the Kahului Railroad. Funfact: if you look on KZbin there is some videos about it. But I soubt you understand the 1st one due to it speak in pigin (Hawaiian Broken english)

[@danjotrains]

I read that Claus Spreckels is indeed on display only, and the B-3-E class 2-6-2 that's at the Georgetown Loop it waiting to be serviced. Couldn't find anything about the other two trains. I'll definitely check out the video!

[@PirateAdmiral-bx6sx]

@danjotrains hmm...I think there is a book called the Hawaiian Railway.or something like that..but the book hasn't been update and it's extremely rare to find.

[@noahboat580]

Man if you love your Lego trains then im sure your looking for any of the Santa Fe line of lego sets, especially the BNSF train model set : )

[@danjotrains]

Oh, absolutely! The Santa Fe set is amazing, and the BNSF model looks awesome! I would love to get them eventually, but they certainly aren't cheap either... 😅

[@noahboat580]

@danjotrains yea i was shocked too on how expensive they are. Lego isnt my forte but i never knew about the line until i saw a video of someone finding the whole set at a convention, new in their boxes. And he spent a lot on those-

[@danjotrains]

Yeah, I saw that video too! Stud City at Brickworld Chicago. Everything with the original boxes too-- the prices were crazy. But the train looks amazing.

[@glynn_nr1]

( at 7:00 ) i never liked that it was so short i tryd making it a 4-4-0 but it ended up gone forever

[@danjotrains]

It's short, for sure, but I always thought it was super charming.

[@winteronice]

Missed out on the Emerald Express. I got mine for 10% of the price, but non lego. I agree on the 2018 Hogwarts express. I motorized the tender too, had to extend it by 2 studs. I also own a Flying Scotsman from Bluebrixx. But I only have 1 powered up set.

[@danjotrains]

Haven't tried BlueBrixx yet but they have some really nice designs! I'd need to win the lottery at this point to buy an authentic Lego Emerald Express 😂

[@Mr._funny2006]

3:19 is that a Nixel?

[@danjotrains]

Yes! All the tables have a different Nixel face.

[@SERIE235-Z_btich-Mo]

2:32 see is like thomas and friends!

[@idontknowanymore6696]

I miss my ghost train

[@mountainbriarfarm5030]

Right here with you, I had this set as a kid and I adored it so much, I wish I could have it back

[@Simon_Ghost_RileyTF141]

If your looking to remove the 4-6-0 and the cnr boxcar just let me know (pls I’m so broke I’m using a Lego car for a train)

[@BrickNostalgic-tm4ip]

I guess you'll order a Lego train on Februar 4th....

[@danjotrains]

Definitely!

[@Marksfansandthings]

not bad

[@thedemolitionmuniciple]

Was incredibly lucky to get the Maersk for 180, and I still have all the parts to the Monster Fighters Ghost Train (they're just strewn about my city and parts box because I'm a moron who took it apart because I didn't have shelf space) I went on to make a MOC from the ground with the "steam engine" type parts but still 🥲

[@danjotrains]

That's a sweet deal for the Maersk! It's super expensive these days.
