Strasburg PA - Real & Model Railroads! (9.22.16 Vlog 364)

[@prowrestlingcountdown208]

The ChooChoo Barn was so cool. Very impressive how many mechanics are going on in that one set. So impressive the level of detail. I could have watched that for awhile. That looked like a really fun day for you guys. It’s nice to not have to plan for hours of traffic just to enjoy your day.

[@ZACHBARTRON]

I love the Strasburg Railroad. I used to go almost every fall when I was really little, my first train ride was there on Thomas the Tank Engine of all things hahaha I'll have to go again sometime the Choo Choo barn looks like it got a lot better then I remember it being

[@designaftermath]

My Dad and I were just talking about building model towns and train sets in our respective homes. That set was amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@CorelPoppa]

I have watched every single vlog you have uploaded and they never get old! Keep it up guys! :)

[@JOHNDEEBANK]

This was one of the best vids, it had trains. You can't have too many trains and great editing btw. Thanks guys.

[@rmedwards8312]

Man I certainly saved the best east coast playlist for last,that choo choose barn was insane! The amount of engineering under the table is🤯some beautiful full size trains/carriages too,are you anywhere near that area now you've moved....o to the next playlist,loving these memories,I urge every sub to checkout these from the beginning again.

[@Gsgirl1]

that choo choo barn is amazing, I would love to go there

[@AudyAzfar]

that train display is amazingly detailed. some people like sight seeing, me, I personally prefer display like these....it's so lifelike. tq for the vlogs...puts a smile every time

[@XlonewolfreviewsX]

so much DETAIL! O.O oh my its BEAUTIFUL! haha love watching you guys just exploring.

[@JOHNDEEBANK]

Thank you for looking at all those trains Bruno, I love steam engines. The only kind I've ever been on as I grew up in England.

[@ravenhawk6910]

I haven't been to Strasburg in years. Loved the Railroad Museum of PA (a must whenever in the area) when we went there and, of course riding behind steam. I road behind number 90, the ex-Great Western decapod. 475 is a former Norfolk & Western engine, also a great one to ride! Never did get a chance to go to the model train museum unfortunately. I need to go back there for a single purpose vacation

[@erikholmysti]

Wow! Amazing stuff!

[@elfang0r]

Happy Vlog! So nice to see.

[@Erickivan]

I need to add the Choo Choo Barn to my to do list. I loved it

[@DividedAsOne]

All of the train related things in this video were almost within walking distance from each other. It's easily a full day. Lots of great trains to see! :)

[@DividedAsOne]

...I take that back, we were very rushed trying to see everything in one day, and certainly didn't have time to actually ride the train. Must go back.

[@evanf1293]

Sure were lucky to see 475 running. She's the oldest operating steam locomotive on the Strasburg Railroad which is also the oldest railroad in America, most famous, and has been hauling tourist and photo freights since they first became a tourist line in 1959 before officially becoming one in 1960. Not to mention 475 was seen in a film and is completely different like got a new look 4 years after the footage was recorded in 2015.

[@GrnArrow092]

That collection of cabooses you saw was a motel, Bruno. Some of the cabooses there are painted in the livery of the New Haven Railroad, Boston and Maine as well as the Maine Central Railroad. Maine Central Railroad used to have their rail yard in my home city of Bangor, but it was closed in the early 90's. If you head north to Scranton, you would have found Steamtown, which is home to MEC #519. She is one of three surviving steam locomotives from Maine Central along with MEC #501 and MEC #470. MEC #470 is currently undergoing restoration to operational condition and going to be operated on the Downeast Scenic Railroad in Ellsworth, ME where I volunteer my time as part of the track crew.

[@OllieRamone]

I've stayed at that hotel around 1998 or 1999 on Memorial Day weekend. Was just through that area in the last weekend of August. Love going to Lancaster.

[@JasonALMS2010]

That choo choo place is awesome I gotta take my girl sometime

[@murry2517]

Loved the vlog

[@JaredsGaming]

That was awesome!

[@bweldon13]

475 looks like it’s out of a movie!

[@craiggiles3620]

Beautiful video

[@JamesPorterVideos]

If you ever find yourselves on a trip to England you should go the National Railway Museum in York, you'd love it there.

[@fxkozz]

Nice train vid

[@DividedAsOne]

:-D

[@evanf1293]

you should make another visit in the future strasburg railroad is one of the most famous and popular tourist place in america and is run by steam just about all the time only having 1 diesel on their roster on their nearly 5 mile long line pulling trains since 1960.

[@1989JROG]

Dude. That is awesome

[@janelledowney]

I lived in Lancaster County for five years and went to Strasburg more than a couple of times. If you like trains, it's a great place to be. They even have a bunch of retired guys volunteering there and their only job is to work on restoring old engines and rail cars. I'm now back in Philly where my daughter lives...I miss it Lancaster, except for the fact that they roll up the sidewalks on Sunday. :-)

[@DividedAsOne]

"Like" may be an understatement. ;) I do love my trains! :-D We're probably looking more in Bucks County for housing. Lots of good stuff to see and do (...and eat) in PA.

[@janelledowney]

Bucks County has the New Hop and Ivyland Railway...never been on it but I hear it's nice. But not as great as Strasburg :-) www.newhoperailroad.com/

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Bruno I think that Strasburg would be a great place for you and Mia to live because it so beautiful and they got your favorite things trains

[@Darkruler16]

I live not even 10 miles from Strasburg, when are yall coming back? I'd love a chance to say hi and appreciate the work you all do!

[@johnlemus7921]

Awesome Blog Bruno!

[@DividedAsOne]

Thanks John :)

[@johnlemus7921]

You are welcome!

[@leslieg9406]

I know you've been to San Diego for Comic Con but don't know if you've been to the Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park. It's pretty cool. I used to take my kids there when we lived in SD. The whole park is fun to explore.

[@MidnightVCoco]

Bruno the steamtown mall has trains right next to it because well there are coal mine tours where I live, and if you just like looking at tracks I can walk down the road and see tracks

[@DividedAsOne]

That sounds fantastic! :)

[@MidnightVCoco]

DividedAsOne scranton when you enter and leave you will always see train tracks and trains usually

[@DividedAsOne]

I do love my trains!

[@MidnightVCoco]

DividedAsOne I do know that, I am passing you a thought move to scranton PA or near there next year

[@MatenDigitiZer]

I went there in 2014. They had a giant Thomas the train. It's a fun ride.

[@erikholmysti]

Have you tried taking a Toqger mecha and trying to make it an elec train? I bet that's possible to do, if you had enough parts to take from and combine with the mecha

[@DividedAsOne]

I recently bought an n-scale motor. It's one of my projects I hope to get to eventually.

[@y2josh319]

yay PA!

[@mac19pm]

nice indeed. you guys ever check out western new York?

[@DividedAsOne]

Anything specific?

[@mac19pm]

anyplace. I am from buffalo but Rochester and other surrounding places are fine as well. but you gotta like snow :p

[@dabombbolain]

Trains are cool

[@JesusRamirez-qv1en]

so many trains I got confused at some points of the vlog if I was either seeing a real train or a toy train.

[@WhiteEcoFreak]

#DividedAsOne you know if you love your trains. come to the UK we have lots of interesting history train places. One not far from me call the Bluebell railway and is still maintained in its original period. It always attracts tourists every year its wonderful. My dad would so get on with you for your love of trains and train sets. I think he would love train sets like yours but my mum probably wouldn't have it lol

[@bustersword275]

Nice video. To bad you didn't mention coming to the Scranton area when you were looking for houses. Could have visited the Historic Trains station (only like 5 minutes away from the "Scranton" [Dickson City] Toys'R'Us) I will send you a link to it on Facebook if you are ever back in my neck of the woods.

[@DividedAsOne]

I don't think I shut up about it ;) But this was back in November 2015. It's already been a while since we were in PA. Hopefully we'll eventually find a nice place over there and then have the time to really go out and explore.

[@PlushieEmpress]

OMG! What's the name of that Hotel, I must go there??? Also, Golden Corral is like a souther staple. SO good, soooo gooood. Their breakfast is amazing.

[@DividedAsOne]

Looks like it's the Continental Inn 2285 Lincoln Hwy E, Lancaster, PA 17602. I looked up the closest Golden Corral to the trains. Positive that's it. There was a little amusement park in the back.

[@DividedAsOne]

Ooooh! That's Dutch Wonderland!

[@whoyanaboo]

where is this it's look amazing

[@DividedAsOne]

Below the video is a little text box that has the address to each place :)

[@TSboneguy]

I'm completely puzzled as to why you didn't post that the first time around!? Omg that was such an awesome day! That train display was absolutely astonishing at just how much detail it has, it's like an actual miniature town! Soo cool!!

[@TSboneguy]

When you've got the time Bruno, keep these comin', these are fantastic! :)

[@DividedAsOne]

No time to do editing and nowhere to upload. Such a shame for that whole trip to go to waste so trying to work it in as I can. Same deal with our other road trip. Travel all day, shoot a ton of video, find a hotel late at night, get up real early and back on the road. Many hotels have painfully slow internet too, like 1,000 minutes for a four minute video. :-/

[@TSboneguy]

+DividedAsOne Yeah I gotcha, and then once you're home again it's back to the grind, right? lol Well hopefully we can see more cuz this is great stuff :)

[@Chaoslrd]

Dutch Wonderland is still open?

[@DividedAsOne]

Looks like it! I just looked it up while editing this video to see if it was a real place. Sure enough! :) (I don't think I was ever there)

[@Chaoslrd]

I remember going a very long time ago with my Grandparents that live in Hanover.

[@DividedAsOne]

Looks like a cute place :)

[@TheNoble117]

The ominous music really makes the hotel footage creepy

[@94191122]

hi im going to PA next week from florida. is there any toy spots that have power rangers you recommend?

[@DividedAsOne]

Last time we were in PA we of course took a ride into NY for the day and went to Image Anime :) I'm not sure if PA has any stores like that. I just know of the usual toy stores like TRU, Walmart, Target, Kmart.... Prior to the footage in this video the last time I spent a good deal of time in PA was 1997. There could be places I'm not aware of.

[@pokelestrals2024]

If only you could make your PR Collection as animated as that Train set up. That would be amazing. The Rangers and Zords actually actively fighting on the shelf, If only right? It would also make filming easier if they where really moving but that would be hard to actually pull off. Can always dream though.

[@DividedAsOne]

Shelves would probably be tricky. Those motors go down pretty far. That's an idea I had a long time ago. If I ever get my Power Rangers toy museum, I would have something more like the table at Choo Choo Barn rather than shelves like you see in the display room. That would be a really amazing thing. Someone out there could make it happen....

[@pokelestrals2024]

You've got enough stuff for a Museum already. Hopefully wherever you guys end up moving to will have a big enough basement for storage and a mini museum. Charge a small admission and soon you could have enough to buy a place to make a full PR Museum. I know it will happen someday. I would love to see "The MMPRtoys Museum & Gift Shop", or you can just call the Gift Shop, "Brunos Toy Store".

[@gogongears]

I wanna be shrunk down and live there

[@DividedAsOne]

hehe

[@andrewbillman5159]

toy train museum, toqger better be in there XD

[@DividedAsOne]

No ToQger yet. I'll have to talk to the manager....

[@cubixsquid3575]

Remember Fran from Jungle Fury who loved pizza a lot? Bruno is her train equivalent.

[@__Hyde__]

I've always wondered how those train things stay in business. Seems like a small kind of venture with not much profit to make. Also that Golden Corral was surprising because all of the ones in Florida I've been to are gross.

[@DividedAsOne]

I was last at Choo Choo Barn over 30 years ago. Somehow they stay in business. Probably b/c there's a love for model trains. Hopefully they'll continue to stay in business. I'm not the biggest Florida fan.... :-/ (which is now where nearly every other member of my family lives :-p )

[@alexbryant1679]

hey Bruno

[@craider45]

hey bruno if you ever saw them for a decent price would you buy any transformers that become trains I know you aren't much of a transformers fan but I was just wondering if your love of trains would go towards those as well

[@DividedAsOne]

I guess I have to draw the line somewhere. Lots of collections. Need lots of space & money. But ya never know. If I see something that really looks awesome I might get it. I had this cool HO electric Transformers train set as a kid tfwiki.net/wiki/Electric_Train_and_Battle_Set At the moment I'm just wondering where things are going to go. I'm worried about getting buried by a toy avalanche in the garage!

[@whoyanaboo]

and song is this

[@jasonlitz2907]

Wait you were local? Sad I missed you both.

[@DividedAsOne]

The footage is from November of 2015. We're still here in CA.

[@jasonlitz2907]

Well if and when you adventure back I would love to meet you both.

[@DividedAsOne]

Hopefully we'll be living not far from there eventually.

[@iq9844]

First! Hiya Bruno!

[@V1C1ousV1C2]

wtf KZbin never see your vlogs in my sub box how did I miss your last 3 vids :(

[@senteintrootbeer3214]

hey Bruno have you ever thought having a wedding on a train?

[@DividedAsOne]

How about a Power Ranger wedding on a train? :) hehe

[@senteintrootbeer3214]

you guys could get power rangers wedding rings that would be amazing

[@senteintrootbeer3214]

Also post more jarry

[@TSboneguy]

Power Ranger Wedding on a Train that looks like a Megazord!

[@senteintrootbeer3214]

yes and we need to get like a custom megabits that's black for Bruno and white for mia

[@Pikachufan2011]

If you ever come down to my neck of the woods check out this place they have old trains as well www.edaville.com

[@erikholmysti]

Sure your not related to Sheldon Cooper? ^_^

[@TokuBoyStudios]

*you're* #YGS

[@TokuBoyStudios]

I like trains (gets hit by train) Like this comment if you got that reference

[@HoRn5w0ggl3]

Where's JERRYYYYYYYY

[@FilmFormStudios]

WHERE'S JERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAH

[@DigiBrad]

I think Jerry listened to Bruno for a change, he wen to bed!

[@DividedAsOne]

Nah, he goes to work, not bed. Never bed.

[@DigiBrad]

haha I guess some jerry's never learn

[@HoRn5w0ggl3]

Will you take Jerry to applebee's for his next birthday thats all me and my friend have been laughing at for the past few days

[@mbarrow49]

Who said Americans don't like trains?

[@DividedAsOne]

Well, THIS American *LOVES* trains! Always thought kids just loved trains. No? Seemed like kids and toy trains always went hand in hand, even before Thomas. I loved Mr. Rogers just for that trolley, and little neighborhood set at the beginning, way back in the day.

[@mbarrow49]

I totally agree with you. There is just something about trains that was/is just so appealing to me as a child and now.
