Model trains running at scale speed

N gauge trains running at scale speed, the speed was worked out using this useful website www.entwinesolutions.co.uk/sca...

[@Living_Life_RN]

Wow, even the sound of each carriage or wagon sound accurate. It still amazes me what you can do with N scale.

[@Boaz_963]

Yea it’s really good!

[@Stuart-little]

I would have thought it was hO scale

[@tracypanavia4634]

N scale for the win

[@Starnite_]

i have a kato e5 series shinkansen and even on an american style layout if it goes by closeby it sounds almost like the real thing (it can manage up to 220 scale miles/hour with a proper 10 car set)

[@choonuyehara5709]

Just lower the pitch and raise the volume and you have yourself a real train.

[@jvk1770]

I like that even at that scale you still get the ca-clack ca-clack sound as they pass by

[@ffjsb]

You won't have that sound on welded rail. Hi speed trains would always be on welded rail, only the older freight lines would still be jointed rail.

[@IAm18PercentCarbon]

@@ffjsbI would love to imagine the Eurostar driving on jointed rail, it'd sound like an A-10 on a gun run

That's so cool, with the camera on the ground you can really feel that the scale speed is the "real" speed.

[@R9naldo]

How tf did he do that how did he make it look real speed? Just camera trick?

[@ForteRepublic]

​@@R9naldo He ran the trains at scale speed. For instance, if the model train is 1:100 scale, he would take the real train's speed and scale it down by a factor of 100. A 1:100 scale model running at 1 mph looks like a life-size train running at 100 mph.

[@BrandyBalloon]

@@R9naldoScale speed as ForteRepublic explained, but also positioning the camera so that it's close to the track and at the same height as your eyes would be if you were standing there watching a real train go past.

[@peterduxbury927]

Honestly, those scale speeds were so real! A credit to the designer and his calculations!! (Just for one moment) Imagine those scenes in full focus with a Shrubbery, small trees and a couple of Country Cottages, and a few Fake Livestock. Done in both 2D and even 3D. I swear that it could look like the real thing. Camera Angle enhances the end results too!. Greetings from Australia.

[@Mark-vc9mv]

They seem super slow to be honest

[@ryan-uk6jf]

@pluto9000 that doesn’t even matter here

[@mikatu]

[@edwardbianchi192]

I like how you switched trains so the look matches what real trains could achieve speeds.

[@still_guns]

I liked how the rear Class 43 had a bit of a roar to it.

[@panda4247]

Wow, I love the sound, it kind of matches the real sound too. What a camera standing directly on the floor will do!

[@acmenipponair]

Well... the sound comes from the frequency the wheels have to turn. As most electric and diesel trains have the same wheel size, the frequency of the sound will go up the faster the train becomes. And as miniature trains are build to scale, just much smaller, they will sound the same when they have the same speed as the original ones. Because their small wheels have to turn as often as the real ones.

[@panda4247]

@@acmenipponair that makes sense :) But my point was mainly about the "depth" of the sound (not just the frequency), that with the camera on the floor it is nicely captured. but thanks anyway for your reply.

[@pauldelcour]

Now that's just brilliant. The impression is actually quite scary at the very high speeds. Truly well done.

[@everyhandletaken]

I don't know what it is.. but I have always been fascinated with model trains. They take me back to my youth, when a mate had a workshop where he would make all the grasses & trees for scenery from sawdust & wood shavings. I could watch the train go around countless times & not get bored. No idea why the algorithm gave me this video, but I'm glad it did. Well done 👌🏻

[@guy990]

Top gear presenter James May did a bit on a program about toys where he took these scale toy trains and attempted to beat a world record for the longest toy train track, they ended up using an old railroad track and did it back again after the first program aired, would recommend and both programs captured that same magic of model trains that you described

[@everyhandletaken]

@@guy990 thanks for tip! Will check that out

[@officialdec1]

The audio in this video is SO. GOOD. thanks for posting

[@SilesianWarrior]

Surprising amount of detail on such small models.

[@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm]

Good camera focus as well.

[@out_of_the_BOX]

What's wild to me is how with the fastest train, you could literally hear the doppler effect with the motor sound as it passed by. That plus the clacking of the wheels gave these trains some wild realism!

[@user-wb1qo6ol4h]

Love trains. That was fun to watch with no music. Thank you ... ❤️🙏🤝

[@ttnyny]

Thanks for posting this video. It annoys me when I come across a finely-crafted model railroad layout with the trains operating at absurdly exaggerated speeds. It seems to be the case more often than not.

[@brianmolina8818]

I know, right? I once came across a video of a Z scale layout and was blown away by how realistic it looked--in large part because the train was moving at scale speed. On the other hand, I’ve seen videos of O Scale subway trains that annoy me because they’re darting around an otherwise quite realistic cityscape.

[@Boaz_963]

Really cool trains! They also sound really good👍

[@SosgamingYT1]

Agreed

[@CMD_Line]

The HST and APT once gone past left that real line noise behind. 😮 crazy!

[@TheStealthbob]

I never imagined 30 years ago I would be clicking on a video like this, watching it and feeling satisfied about the experience. What a world, kinda sad really

[@julianaylor4351]

Pity the real APT didn't work. Love the train with South East Network livery and the BR Shunter. The 125 in it's old livery brings back many memories of the real thing. ❤

[@randomsnow6510]

the APT did work, it was simply canceled for being a "embarrasment", they mannaged to iron out the kinks but the for profit media had a field day without so it had to be canceled

[@elliottbriggs3385]

Wow, the angle of the camera was really good, but the various trains tested brought real satisfaction to me. Rally well executed in relation to noise performance too.

[@sledar2]

Thanks for displaying the speed in both MPH and KPH!

[@krugerdave]

Yes, except that "KPH" isn't actually a thing. Unless you're talking about kilo-Poise-Henrys, which would be a really weird measure of viscosity and inductance... It'd be interesting to find an application where that actually makes sense 🤔 Anyway, the metric system measures (moderate) speeds in km/h or m/s. Please stop using KPH.

[@SG2048-meta]

@@krugerdavewow, this is the first time I’ve realised that KPH doesn’t actually make sense

[@risingsun9595]

That is super impressive. Not into model trains at all but that’s cool how they sound so similar when you run them at the scaled speed

[@cesarwastaken]

So, let me get this straight. Are you translating Model Speeds to match real life Loco speeds?

[@papercliponawire]

Yeah, exactly that, the trains are doing the equivalent speed for the scale. Correct speed is worked out by using the link in the video description.

[@rfly-fpv]

Cool! Small hint - please remember that in metric system we write km/h not "kph"

[@michaelschramm1064]
