Staged Derailments and Collisions

[@Tazoutlaw8]

nice wen i got bored as a kid me n my dad had a layout and =we had a derailment and it was fun great video keep them comin

[@trainman1986]

@toboe399 Yeah, some of the older stuff like the old Life Like and Buchmann don't run very great even when new since their electrical pickup is rather poor, I did away with all of my older stuff like that and have been collecting the newer Athearn BB and Walthers stuff, obviously I started after I made this video cause you wouldn't dare catch me crashing Walthers cars or locomotives, LOL

[@peterandben]

I think my heart stopped when the CR fell off the table. Good video anyway though.

[@trainman1986]

@m53dy9 It was a custom paint job, and truely a Rent A Wreck paint job as well, lettering was done with a sharpie, lol

[@TrainTrackTrav]

Sweet vid! When that loco went over the edge it scared the crap out of me! Thank goodness there was hardly any damage! 5***** and faved! Great job, keep it up!

[@TropicEdits1]

Instead of the train, I was looking at the pringles!

[@tarmac2001]

That first clip was fantastic with the telephone pole being taken out from the base were it was glued and the SP unit with the tank cars kept going even though it looked like it was going to stall to a stop. I'm a model railroader myself and really I don't see any problem crashing the cheap stuff such as some 2nd hand Bachmann stuff. After all, these movie production companies spend thoasands of dollars on custom models that I'd kill to have, just for a 10 second crash scene movie clip.

[@BucketSeeker]

Having fun by your self, never gets old now does it?

[@trainman1986]

Depends on a few things, file size, internet connection. If you have a slow internet connection then it will take awhile. Larger file sizes take at least 20 minutes or so. If the file is too large this may happen as well. Be sure to check your file size and connection.

[@trainman1986]

No, I don't have ADHD, how many times must I point out to commenters to read descriptions on this video, this was done for fun, if I had ADHD then I would not have a long enough attention span to put in the intricate work and time an HO scale layout requires, again before you judge or comment read descriptions, and again thanks for watching!

[@TRAVAM91]

i like your CN C44-9W in the yard de trucked lol your right, im a hard core realist when it comes to model trains but damn is it fun to see some train wrecks lol good video

[@trainman1986]

22 yrs, and no I wasn't drinking, just had one of them destructive moods. It is always fun to crash things especially trains however this is before I got my newer stuff so I didn't worry.

[@trainman1986]

Yeah at least couplers are a lot cheaper than a loco to replace, but reguardless of costs it sometimes pays off just to have a little fun once and awhile. Thing is some of my track is too close to the edge so I need to install some barriers.

[@Bassotronics]

Cool! Nice vid man! You make it interesting. :)

[@mrsmargerax0]

cool derailments oh, by the way those are some nice CONRAILS!

[@trainzandbridgez101]

Can you post another video with an update of your layout? Did you get any new track? Signals? Locomotives? Funny video by the way!

[@trainman1986]

Normally I wouldn't either but I got bored that day and had to have fun. Since then I have replaced some of my loco shells and aquired new cars therefore I tend to not do this very often or at all.

[@trainman1986]

@PRR5406 Yeah you are correct, however unlike a lot that live at home still, I have two years of college under my belt and now have a full time job in the field I graduated with and Associates. Now I am sure you probably didn't mean this as an insult but for those who usually do, a point to consider, don't always judge a book by its cover. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video, and remember always good to have some childish fun once and awhile.

[@trainzandbridgez101]

Great, I'll check out that video, and I already viewed your Fast lane videos.

[@trainman1986]

No harm no foul, sometimes we post before we give a chance to think what we want to type. The fact is we all have something that can get at us, but it is good to remember that some are not worth getting upset about, I can see why this would upset you working for the RR derailments are the worst. Thanks for being cival about your comment, a lot of people are usually more ignorant. If you want to see more constructive videos be sure to check out my channel for more layout videos.

[@trainman1986]

Appearently nobody reads descriptions anymore, as I stated in the description, it is ok to have fun once in awhile, to answer your question, yes, but even adults have to be kids once in awhile, if life is taken seriously all the time, where is the fun?

[@trainman1986]

@2124reading Thanks, I normally don't do this with my trains especially now that I have better stuff, but with older stuff it is good to have some fun once in awhile

[@iknowmy3tables]

I'm grown up and I can play with all the bb guns and fireworks I want, which I do, however I have found that crashing toys in many cases is just as fun

[@trainman1986]

OUCH! $150 dollars? You have more bravery than me, but thats good that only the snowplow and front coupler broke. They are tougher than one might think.

[@TransGalGaming]

@trainman1986 I know...theres about 2 diesels taht are in great condition..running...not so much..but these..are WAY old you know...pre realistic coupling. The one with a smoke unit runs great and looks great too! so is a 2-6-6-2 ( i think) but thats way too big to run on my current layout

[@trainman1986]

Obviously.....with only 4 foot wide benchwork the tracks came close to the edge, normally wasn't a problem until this, LOL. Any other time I tend to try and keep trains on the track, thanks for viewing!

[@trainman1986]

@CPWindsorsub Yeah the HLCX patch job was truely a "patch" job, I used a sharpie marker to do the lettering. I sometimes regret painting over the Athearn SE STL&H which was what this unit was, but I was young at the time and didn't pay attention to that.

[@trainman1986]

Yeah the zoom on mine can go to about 4X then it is digital zoom up to 12X. The digital zoom has a tendency to make things look really fuzzy so I try not to zoom in too much anymore.

[@trainman1986]

Thanks for your comment, I have even more nice Conrail units now!

[@trainman1986]

@TRAVAM91 Oh yeah I would be pissed too considering my layout now has tracks near the edge, I will eventually place fencing of some sort to protect stuff from falling off. I also have some of them autoracks and I am in the process of converting over to 24" radius from 22".

[@trainman1986]

@lcluvsbb15 Well it is simple, called having fun, try reading descriptions before you jump to conclusions, plus that locomotive didn't cost anywhere near 145 dollars, more around 35 to 40, and if it did you wouldn't catch me crashing it to begin with. Like I said read desriptions and it will tell you and others who get offended too easily by this stuff that this is older equipment. So sit back, relax and have some fun once and awhile, and btw thanks for taking the time to view.

[@Steez51]

Classic dude. How old are you and where you drinking? I laughed so hard I pissed myself when you said "BOOM" when the lococ hit the truck....

[@TRAVAM91]

my 1st layout had the tracks right next to the edge of the table as well... i remember i was running 89 foot boxcars on a small radius curve while passing another train and they clipped eachother and fell everywhere lol i was pissed

[@trainman1986]

@toboe399 Sounds cool, one nice thing about the hobby, you can always fix up old equipment, I am sure some of that stuff is worth some money too depending on condition

[@trainman1986]

@trainwreckmaster I had to remove them as they were wrecked from moving from house to house. This was also a rebuilt loco from parts I had and I hadn't gotten the handrails (as they are called) yet.

[@trainman1986]

It is fun every now and then to stage derailments, but I recommend doing it with older stuff. There is nothing wrong with being a kid everynow and then, life is too short to be serious all the time, but appearently some on here can't seem to understand having fun and have to post stupid comments, but oh well, not my problem. Thanks for the more rational comment.

[@trainman1986]

@TRAVAM91 Thanks, I am glad some understand that having fun is ok. I am also into the hobby as well and the stuff I have now would never be treated like this, however I wouldn't get offended by someone's video of them crashing their expensive stuff, hey if you want to waste value stuff like that then it is your loss, sort of thinking. I kind of wish the CN unit was still running along with my GTW SD40-2 that I used to have as well. All are parts into newly built locos I have now.

[@trainman1986]

Hi tarmac2001, thanks for a very constructive comment, yes the telephone pole was definately cool in how it fell over after the truck hit it, I found that using rubber cement forms a bond that holds it in place but can be easily come loose if enough force is applied. That came out better than I thought. These units were Athearn but now have newer shells, plus I still have Life Like and the Bachmann stuff to crash every now and then. Check out my channel for more constructive Layout Videos.

[@trainman1986]

@TRAVAM91 I will be posting a Layout Rehabilitation video here soon, this video is of my layout two years ago and I have since moved and have a bigger spcae now, be sure to check it out, may not be any crashes but I plan to incorporate a working signal system much like the one on this layout.

[@trainman1986]

One is a GP38-2 and the other one is a GP40-2, the GP40-2 is the one that fell off the edge.

[@trainman1986]

Yeah, it was a StL&H loco but I got bored and painted it a black then tryed to make it a rent-a-wreck, and I think I suceeded at that.

[@trainman1986]

@orison319 Well for your information, I have never touched a drug in my life, not for me. As I said in the description, which lots of people tend to NOT read before making their assumptions, this is just for fun, and apparently this little bit of fun has made a shit load of views in the three years, almost, that this video has been on here, I really need to set it up for revenue sharing and collect money, again thanks for the view.

[@trainman1986]

@boi9031 Well with the newer stuff I have now, I won't be crashing them, but I still have older stuff so I may do some derailments in the future.

[@trainman1986]

Sometimes but not very often with my newer stuff, the stuff in this video is rather rough therefore I didn't care about crashing them, for more "constructive" videos on my layout check out my channel.

[@minesandlookouts]

i have a layout im working on, and i know that it gets boring doing the same thing, so every now and then i spice it up by doing what you did, mostly... like puting a semi on the track, although i would be more carful :/

[@trainman1986]

This layout used Power Loc track, I use Atlas Code 100 now.

[@TPBX225]

Do you use DCC or regular DC?

[@UndreamedFool17]

I miss playing with my HO trains.. i used to crash them all the time too

[@trainman1986]

Well I try not to break these, this stuff was some older stuff that was in rough shape already so I figured lets have some fun, since this video I have bought all brand new locos and cars, see my channel for newer layout videos.

[@popsnacks2]

is ur black loco custom?

[@trainman1986]

Yeah I was laughing too but if it broke I think I wouldn't be laughing. Like I said those locomotives are tougher than I thought.

[@trainman1986]

The hand rails got all messed up years ago so I took them off. That shell has since been replaced and no I am not going to be doing that anymore.

[@trainman1986]

Have never shocked myself, only about 15 to 20 volts tops. You can however get a small pick from the rails if you touch them just right, I have had that happen few times, nothing serious.

[@trainman1986]

@PODH1 Thanks, yeah even when you grow up to be an adult, it never hurts to have a little fun and act like a kid every now and then.

[@trainman1986]

Funny you say to me but yet you have the time to post this comment, I hear this line enough from my family, Thank you and FYI I do get out and I have a great hold on reallity, read the first few words of the description " I was board today" meaning not everyday.

[@skittles569]

Did You Film With An RCA Camera? I Notice The View At 1:35

[@Twisted_T_Racing]

Very nice video!!!

[@trainman1986]

Not only that but we all got to have fun once and awhile, would I do this again, probably not as I have much more expensive stuff now, but that day I had some pretty rough trains so I didn't care then.

[@MrRumegus]

@trainman1986 Mate, I love you, I think this is my new hobby (besides plastic models) ! Nice crashes, but look at 03:24, sparks coming out.

[@lleppala]

what tyeof track doo u have

[@trainman1986]

This is the result of the locos wheel set shorting out the track at High Throttle.

[@trainman1986]

The Life Like Train sets come with butt loads of those plus I got about tow or three train sets so that makes for a lot of signs.

[@trainwreckmaster]

can an athearn locomotive run on power loc track???

[@trainman1986]

@0verload Couldn't agree with you more, nothing wrong with having fun, seems everybody is too serious in todays age, despite all of the shit going on, u have to have fun, life is too short, enjoy every moment.

[@trainwreckmaster]

on your second crash when it fell that happened to me also but the cables that went to the wheel snapped

[@trainman1986]

Thanks, be sure to check my channel, I have lots of videos of my new layout. For the first few just search Railfanning My NEW Layout, the rest of the series is called The Fast Lane, search that. These have all the new track and locos, as well as some new rolling stock and signals. Hope you enjoy what you see and be sure to tune in frequently, I post them regularly.

[@0verload]

Hell yah man. Good for you having some harmless fun. Fuck all these people that claim to be mature all the time. They're the ones who need to get a life and learn to cut loose and enjoy life a little bit instead of being so serious all the time.

[@trainman1986]

You know I have only seen a Stevens Transport Truck once in my life and that was a couple months ago in Ohio on the turnpike. I never realized they were around till then, these trucks I have had for a few years now so I never really payed attention.

[@trainman1986]

Actually yeah I did but it was older stuff, so staging this didn't matter a lot, however the newer stuff I have now I wouldn't even try doing this to them, way too much money.

[@NickSilcox3]

who care if someone has ADHD... but you have to understand that...(looks over) oo a squirrel :)

[@rodneythompson9091]

BOOM!!!!!! drop awwwwoooooo lol :D

[@trainman1986]

Yeah one of my more crazy train layout videos.

[@trainman1986]

Thanks, I think it is funny though how a simple goofy video like this gets to some people. But life goes on I guess and they are just trains. However take a look at the new stuff I have in newer vids I have posted, you won't see me doing this to them.

[@trainman1986]

Well when its a boring day gotta have fun somehow.

[@trainman1986]

Yeah thats why if I am gonna crash trains I crash older stuff that I don't care about too much, since this video I have gotten and rebuilt a few locomotives that I charish. The stuff in this video was in rougher shape so I didn't really care. The other night however I was running some cheap Life Like Locos off of my movible bridge (See my "Fast Lane" videos). However you wouldn't catch me doing this to my athearns or Walthers locos.

[@trainwreckmaster]

why does the HLCX doesnt have any railbars or handbars whatever there called

[@trainman1986]

Yeah i did, the loco esentially shorted out the throttle by crossing the two rails together, once this happened I cut the power quick otherwise it would have burnd out my throttle.

[@randombronypony]

Pretty good vids. I might sub

[@FlyBikes089]

Lol! Then, why not you try use UP SD9043MAC or SD90MAC-H make more strongly and powerful make force push out of the semi truck lol! Awesome the video and I love your HO Conrail units!

[@2-1Bravo]

haha cool you really like this stuff well im young and new to modeling so ya

[@thetrainman407]

LMAO the engine fell off the table.

[@staggerin]

Baaahahahaha!!!!! The commentary had me rolling!!!!!!!!!!!

[@popsnacks2]

is this dcc?

[@peterandben]

DC or DCC?

[@trainman1986]

@toboe399 No not necessarly, just had a lot of fun that day. One of those days when you are on a role and get really goofy.

[@carsey51]

This is boredom on a new level haha. I would be doing the same stuff.

[@trainman1986]

LOL! Although I didn't know that they were bad drivers.

[@trainman1986]

Didn't break the loco, just the wheel, that was the only one I messed up.

[@trainman1986]

That day I definatly did however normally I wouldn't do this with my trains as you saw in the video, it can cause an accident, however I was on a roll that day. If you want to see more "constructive" videos of my layout watch my layout railfanning videos on my channel.

[@gingerkin]

yeah i will did you notice the sparks coming of the cross-over at 3:24

[@bballstarben14]

very nice

[@attlevi]

you got toooo much time on your hands............ nut. Keep up the good work.

[@fuCKYeahckyrules]

this really makes you ask the question , why arent bumpers for trains a thing XD plows are great at clearing stuff, but theyrealso great at totaling things

[@starbuckslover556]

Is that ho scale???

[@crazymarine1991]

i lve this after 5 xmas of my mom and dad buying me these fun toys thay stoped cuss i wold brake them after haveing a shit load of fun

[@trainman1986]

Not all of them, but I plan on putting in ditch lights in all of them.

[@trainman1986]

Hell yeah!

[@skittles569]

Plus I Also Have Norton Security Scan.

[@trainman1986]

Thanks!

[@DudeWithaPage]

@trainman1986 nice weather were having.... :)
