Rare Neil Young video ( Lionel Trains )

A beautiful story on Neil's love of trains, and how he is able to share them with his son Ben.

[@SRRC245]

The birth of TMCC

[@strafrag1]

Great guy and father. Train nerds are fun people!

[@edwardsmith4557]

Musically, I’m not a big fan of his. But as a Dad, I’m a big fan. What a great thing he’s done to be able to let his son share his love of trains. And bring the family together.

[@hopstrr]

Mr Young Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Long may you run

[@fishon8406]

You can join our Model train club Neil. Thanks for the great interview.

[@bk14nyc]

Not only are you a great singer & guitarist Neil, you are a GREAT father! ❤️❤️

[@GfwTrains]

What a cool video. Thank you so much for sharing. His love of railroading with his family is neat. It is fun to hear Neil and his family tell the story of TMCC and Lionetch and how it relates to his son with a disability.

[@TheJpec361]

Thank you, Neil...for sharing everything. Your talents, your passions and your generous soul. As the father of an autistic child, I can unequivocally say that trains helped him out so much in many ways and brought him out of his shell and fostered his love of music. All I ever heard from the "experts" was "he can't" or "he won't"...I'm glad I didn't listen. The first time he performed on stage I was so proud of him...he fed off the energy of the audience and it wanted to make me flip the bird at all those so-called experts...

[@hastyone9048]

Neil is a Rock star Lionel collector/enthusiast. Pretty darn good musician too.

[@davidgroh2835]

Thank you Neil for sharing the video. I am enjoying the Lionel diesel engine that I received from you through ebay!

[@JAMESBOND-jm2lj]

Ben is a big bad important train master!❤️💜

[@sammyvh11]

My dad got me a Texas Special set for Hannuka in1966. Miss you dad.

[@KandRCustomModels]

Great Video and thanks Neal for making Lionel more fun than ever!

[@Robert4229]

What an inspirational video! Neil and I are the same age, I luv Lionel trains, too- I guess they're imprinted on our brains since Christmas time in the 50's when we opened up Lionel trains under the Xmas tree.

[@dirtfloorrecordingproduction]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markharrison3445]

Now I like Neil even more.

[@ralf001]

....what a lovely time...!

[@arnoldberk7686]

Cowen / Cohen would be proud. I still have mine from the late forties not the fifties. This is therapy for your son.

[@jimlyons5677]

Great video and Neil Young showing his compassion for his son and Lionel trains. My first train was a Marx’s tin train that I thought Santa misunderstood me so the next Christmas I got a Lionel train set. I still have it plus more just lacking room to set it up in our house because Florida doesn’t build basements. I thought about building a shelf around our den and running a different engine again.

[@thegamingrailfan7905]

If I ever invest in Lionel trains I will desperately want "Big Red", My body is in perfect condition so I would want the button mostly because of how lazy I can be, but on the other hand it is a MAJOR convenience for people like Neil's son. I would rate this video 5/5 for several positive reasons.

[@davidbradley1735]

Great to see that Ben is enabled, not disabled. And what an amazingly mature and supportive sister! Congratulations to the parents for a job well done.

[@landsurfer66]

Brilliant. Touched my heart.

[@horsepower0539]

I got my first Lionel Train 1960 I still have it I have added more to it since there in the attic someday I will put them all together to be a kid again

[@64pmd]

What a beautiful story.

[@leoscoo6135]

I can't stop smiling, neil is such a great father to ben and it's really beautiful to see

[@diggerdan4661]

I remember when I got my 1st Lionel train set it was so awesome it was metal not the plastic crap they make in China these days.

[@MrRoseandrc]

Thank you

[@timothystadel6484]

Not just a great guy but a great father as well. Bless the caring loving people of the world. Tim

[@LionelGuy-oc8or]

what an awesome story you shared ! to see the smile on your son's face is priceless ! your a great dad as well as a legendary rock artist ! im a Lionel train collector & enthusiast myself

[@johndavies9270]

That is one superb layout. It reminds me very much of the late John Allen's Gorre & Dapheatid with its magnificent scenery. And well done, Neil and Ben.

[@johnlong8655]

Thank you Mr Young for sharing this look into your private life. Also thanks for pushing the envelop on control's for trains. Also love the music! " Keep on rocking...down the rails in the free world"

[@richardcrilley11]

There’s a role model right there. More men and women should learn from these two. Not only that, I am a big fan of Neil’s music and how cool is that Jeep?

[@johnrettig1880]

Dear Mr Young . How would you like to adopt a 62 year old kid . Who also is into trains .

[@JAMESBOND-jm2lj]

Only as my little brother 😉

[@jeffhallaran6630]

Got my lionel train set in 1961 for my 1st birthday, its now 2021 and i still have them! Im also a huge Neil Young fan and its great to see Neil so dedicated to helping his son Ben, thank you Neil for being such an inspiration!

[@johnrettig1880]

@@jeffhallaran6630 That's about the same time as me . Or maybe1959 . It's a little while since I was a kid but my Mom and Dad showed me how to put it together and run it . One of them would find me asleep on the floor and in the loop of track . I saw a lot of photos of that set up .

[@peterliebezeit5636]

Thanks for sharing this clip, it gives me newfound respect for the man. No wonder he can make such beautiful music; he is a beautiful soul.

[@deborahstollman6238]

My husband and I love trains. My husband had some amazing layouts until the cats destroyed them. He didn’t protect them 🙄 I really love the old trains. Mr. Young, you are an amazing dad and you have incredible kids!!

[@byates59]

Neil is a great guy and a great dad! Thanks!

[@greggarner4477]

A truly great man! Very much loved by millions and sorely missed by all. Love you Neil ❤❤❤

[@gunnyusmc4957]

Ya hes always been a really cool guy

[@dan599]

He’d be a lot cooler if he supported our president. He’s a raging liberal moron.

[@russellbrunner10]

Great dad Neil, that’s all that matters

Did he lose the trainset in the 2018 Woolsey Fire?

[@ironhorsehistorian9871]

WhiteCamry hope not! :(

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Are the shit graphics a way to defeat copyright infringement? I hope so.

[@johnrettig1880]

So much for a dying hobby . Before the pandemic average yearly profits 1 . 5 billion a year . As of now and during the pandemic model railway is 2 . 5 to 75 this last year .
