National Train Show 2019 Salt Lake City

[@Uts9000]

you two are a delight to listen to. Your mutual enthusiasm made me want to spend a boat load of money on model railroading ..... thanks

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi! Glad you like the channel! More train show coming

[@doncasterrailway3241]

You’re Video got me into liking the gas turbine and I just one a few days ago in ho scale for my collection

[@tomklock568]

That's one of those things you don't even know where to start! I've been to a train show in LA what a trip! Thanks guys.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Mind blown.

[@prussia1557]

I live in Greeley, the museum is definitely worth a visit.

[@ToyManTelevision]

And we love Greeley. And that area. Fort Collins. Wow! Some of the best private model railroads and railroad history. Steve and Al did get in but we missed it. Dang. But just an excuse to get back!

[@uberquellen]

I had a great HO set up when I was a kid. My dad and I set up two 4x8 pieces of wood in the garage and then went crazy. I like the HO scale because I could use my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars and trucks along with the train set.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Yup. I had a 4x8 and later added a second 4x8. All fun. These days I’m more into shelf dog bone layout

[@RailRide]

That UP turbine is definitely a looker. I have one by MTH in 3-rail 'O' and it's a monster, four motors and about 44" long.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I know that model. Really amazing. Huge! Fun. Runs super

[@elleryparsons5766]

Loved to see videos like this.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Love chasing old railroads!

[@av8tor261]

Thank you for sharing. From Canada.

[@greguzar8233]

I sure can see why you two looked forward to this show. I have been remiss in comments so today we play "catch up". Well done you. Greg and Jeanne

[@ToyManTelevision]

Me too. Between travel and pain and drugs for the pain the comments have been sssslllllooooo. And half way through I’m thinking 🤔 what did I just say? Train? Oh yea that train show. I’m going to grab a nap 😴 and then get back. To.. something. Karyn is really doing so much right now. I need a new hip. Or fix what I have. Or whatever. But this is getting old. Or I am. Or both. Anyway more fun stuff coming. But you know how this is. Boy do you know! Let’s all get well. And get in some decent screwing around

[@kenshores9900]

I am sure that you enjoyed the ride back home after all of the walking. Thanks for the video.

[@ToyManTelevision]

My hip enjoyed it too! Ouch!!

[@dennisb9157]

That expansive train station is just incredible! Realistic and the camera shot inside really brought it to life! If only I had the money and the space to build such an elaborate train station.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Better look at it next Sunday

[@robertemmons2260]

I would have spent all day there and still would not have seen everything that was there! The Bachman trains are what had caught my attention almost 50 years ago when I was just a young boy who has always had a fascination for trains and airplanes. I use to live in Greeley about 20 years ago or so, and embarrassed to say that I've never heard of any type of model railroad companies out there. Thank you once again for another great video!

[@ToyManTelevision]

It was amazing. Bigger than it looks. And we love Greeley. And area.

[@danielboone3770]

Plus, I too LOVE the Aero Train.

[@royreynolds108]

You were talking about the Budd cars. I gave the NMRA all of the Budd drawings of the Rock Island Budd cars that were to be thrown away. I got them in 1966 just before coming home to go back to college. If you or anyone else wants copies of RI's Budd built passenger cars, contact the NMRA because they are original. There are several books of plans covering Budd cars of several railroads. These sheets are actually negatives of the drawings as supplied to the RI by Budd. The deal was that whatever I didn't take was going to be tossed. I left lists of bolts and nuts, fasteners, etc. One sheet showed the clearances of the trucks to the car and frame.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Great!! I want to do a show on bud. What history!!!! Really interesting story about American technology and style.

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Guys, you set the standard in showing a train show. Excellent photography, super editing and always, your sparkling conversation with the two of you. Yes, you are the standard and I appreciate all you do - - and the variety of your channel videos. THANKS !! Dean from Minnesota

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi dean! What a show. My hip is trashed and I just couldn’t see much. Karyn shot most of it while I sat in a painful heap. Need to get Steve’s hip guy to help.

[@CoalChrome]

@@ToyManTelevision nope, it was an SD24, first turbocharged SD unit. Quite a beautiful machine. It's very different from most. It's worth a look up

[@BrickTrains]

Thomas brings in the $$$ for the museums. Another great video, thanks for all you guys do.

[@ToyManTelevision]

[@ToyManTelevision]

That we do! Thanks!

[@PowerTrain611]

Also, that Aerotrain WAS a car. Back then, GM was using many parts from automobiles on locomotives for availability purposes. Those cars were made from buses of the era. Even the famous "F" and "E" units had windshields that were interchangeable with most GM stuff!

[@ToyManTelevision]

I just like the look! Short lived era.

[@PowerTrain611]

Great job, thank you for sharing. Your work is amazing.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks! More coming Sunday

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

That was a real enjoyable video, brings back many hours spent at the local hobby expos. I play with the trains but I was more into the radio control airplanes, but I always admired the different layouts and train displays. I think in a lot of ways the newer equipment is superior to the old stuff we used 30 plus years ago, that was cutting edge at the time. From what I was seeing they are putting more real world detail into the new products. Yes I know, I'm dating myself yet again.

[@ToyManTelevision]

The new ones run sooooo well! I like the older stuff but it’s a challenge to make work well

[@jerredwayne8401]

I like rc planes also. Its amazing how much that's changed also. When I got into electric was junk and not worth owning. Now the hobby stores only have electric planes and maybe one gas trainer plane

[@JerkRice]

Looks like they had a lot of great things there. I'm guessing it would be easy to find yourself poor after visiting the show and buying all those beautiful models.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Not a lot for sale. Some. But Omg the new wish list!!!

[@historywithsean8893]

You guys are awesome it looks fun and I hope you do more just like this

[@ToyManTelevision]

That we will. Back next week to run that turbine around the HO free-mo.

0:37 Ludmilla!!! 😍😍 They gray and dark engine is nicknamed the Ludmilla. Also known as the BR232 Class in Germany :) Good to see a H0 Model of that engine in the US 😊

[@ToyManTelevision]

We are seeing a lot more foreign trains here. Mostly British. But also Japanese French and yes German. Once you start getting into European trains the German locomotives really stand out in the crowd. Often larger, they stand out as unique. I was looking at a great LGB locomotive at the thanksgiving point train show, tempting. Great model of a great locomotive.

[@wixom01]

Those nickel plated brass cars were awesome. Loved that large scale Bachman loco with the water pumps, incredible detail. Ah, if only I were rich. /sigh

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hard to pick a favorite

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

No hate for Thomas here. He has sparked an interest in trains with my daughter.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I love what “he” provides. But when I say a day out with Thomas banner on the side of Lincoln’s funeral train I was flabbergasted. Really? REALLY?

[@grandpaarock]

great video amazing models

[@ToyManTelevision]

Great show. More videos coming

[@kentfrederick8929]

I wish I had my HO set from my childhood. By the way, I call an appearance by Thomas the Tank Engine at a railroad museum, "Woodstock for Toddlers." Because the museum will be inundated with kids ages 18 months to 5 years.

[@ToyManTelevision]

EBay. Find your train and buy it! If you don’t age room for a layout welcome to the club. So bag a 2 x 6 foot plywood shelf and lay a bit of track. Bag a Revell superior bakery and a depot and call it your layout. Most fun you will have this year.

[@cowboyvalley]

I got to go to the Colorado Model Railroad Museum this pass June. You HAVE to see it!!! I knew it was good, but I wasn't prepared for how well it was done. My only regret about it was that it's not a Colorado railroad that is modeled....it's an Oregon line.

[@ToyManTelevision]

We have several shows on it. We got to ride the cab of the K37. Wow!!

[@CoalChrome]

Oh, fun fact about that early style HO engine, Bachmann retooled their old 4-4-0s and added DCC/Sound to them

Thomas got my 3 year old into trains. Now he wants to watch pacing videos of real steam all the time. We have watch many of your videos several times over. He seems to like 844 more than big boy right now because of the chuffing sound or stack talk I guess it's called. Haven't heard any from big boy yet. Of course big boy hasn't worked at all yet pulling a few passenger cars around

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thomas is a great way to introducing kids but often not followed up. Museums just have a Thomas day and then nothing. Because it’s easy. The Thomas people come to them and run everything. Museums need to do their own events. And introduce real trains. And spend the same on marketing as the Thomas people do.

[@jerredwayne8401]

[@ToyManTelevision]

Security was a huge issue. The state capital building is very secure. As is the art museum at the university. The union station would be great, but it’s not that secure after hours. They would have needed to place one of two guards on 24-7 where that is already in place

[@wcarlhepker4806]

The UP has run the 844 and the 3985 as a double header. They recently ran the 844 and the 4014 as a double header. How about the 3985 and the 4014 as a double header? I would buy a large still picture of that if it is a photo of an actual event? I have not heard of any plans to do so. Do you know of any such plans?

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

So... I decided to do a little bit of research on our friend, Thomas the Tank Engine. Apparently, he had his beginning in 1945 in children's books called The Three Railway Engines. The books were very popular in England. By 1984, Thomas had his own series, which was narrated by Ringo Starr, Alec Baldwin, and George Carlin. So... It would appear that ole Thomas has been around for quite some time. As a kid......... I never knew him! I grew up seeing trains.... The real thing, traveling along next to the highways of the area where I lived. To me, they were a curiosity! They really seemed "alive"... But busy sort of doing their own thing. Big and monstrous, and chugging along the tracks. Just as I was wondering where they were going.. They would do just that! As if to snub me, they would follow the track away from the highway, and head in a different direction... I would ponder "where"! I did have an obsession with the more conventional "Steam" locomotive of the early years... The regular Choo-Choo trains that I read about in the Little Golden Books of my youth... or occasionally the real thing, as depicted on TV. I wanted one! Not one with a "face" painted on it... But a "real" train, which ran on real tracks! I instantly loved the wood-burners with the big diamond stack. I wanted a "train"... at a time when girls were not encouraged to have such things. My parents did not have the space or money to grant me my wishes..But, I remember tying my red wagon to my tricycle, and even tying a cardboard box on behind that, and making my own train! I fell in love with the caboose! No train was complete without a caboose! I wanted to have my own caboose! A special train car with an "upstairs"! I had a natural LOVE for trains..... All without Thomas, and when Ringo Starr was the drummer for the Beatles. My introduction to Thomas the Tank, was when my girls were old enough to watch the educational shows on PBS. Shining Time Station is where we had our introduction to Thomas and his friends. I loved the stories! All of the stories had a moral, and were entertaining. The animation was great! But it did not take long for my girls to out-grow the theme of the show, and I don't think they loved trains because of it. It was on the same genre as Barney the Dinosaur, and Zoobilee Zoo. Great entertainment for small children.. But they quickly outgrow these heroes. I think that Thomas is a great starting point, for small children to know about fictional trains, just as Lightning McQueen relates to Cars. But from there, if they continue to show an interest in trains, to learn what trains really are, and what they do.

[@jerredwayne8401]

I loved Thomas as a kid and I still watch it with my kids. I had my dads ho trains to play with so I knew thomas was just a toy train running on a layout. But it's the layout that had me so interested. The detail was always amazing and sometimes they had real running water. Oh and the "steam" that the little trains made always amazed me too. And I also relate to thomas today because I still like steam engines better than the diesels lol

[@ToyManTelevision]

Jerred Boshears I love the tv show. As you say the layout was great! As were the trains. But I’ll bet few of the kids riding the train have ever seen the shows. I hope some of them discovered trains while at the show. And Thomas can be a powerful tool in introducing them to trains. But Thomas is often both the beginning and the end. That was fun. Now let’s ride the water slide.
