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.
@@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.
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 👌🏻

I always wondered why grown men 'play' with trains etc. It is because it triggers memories of everything in childhood from that era and the fascination of discovering those interests, it's the same with classic cars and motorbikes too. Very ASMR as they say these days. Nothing childish about it.
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!
I like that the camera gradually moves away as they get faster - you get to see the fast trains for longer and it looks like the "cameraman" is standing back to be safe haha
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.
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.

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.
I remember in the 80’s standing on a platform when two 125’s went through the station simultaneously, crossing on different lines without stopping. The noise and vibration was unbelievable. Thunder of the gods!
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.
Yes, when it's written as km/h 😉 If you're going to use the metric system, at least use it properly. It works so well because it's internationally intelligible, no matter what language you speak. Making up your own rules doesn't work very well in that context.
@@krugerdave if you’re trying to be a pedant and say that “per” in “kph” isn’t international, you should look at the “hour” too, it’s not part of the SI system either 😆 and litres isn’t either. But yet we all use kph, hour, and litres
this is the sort of thing that makes the whole miniature trains diorama hobby click. seeing other scale stationary object next to them moving at those speeds must look pretty cool.
It’s 2am, i should be sleeping, but here i am, sitting here. Watching model trains go vroom cuz *fun*. As i’m typing this I’m looking up model trains to buy. Edit: guys the 3am motivation is kicking in because i saw a gym ad, wish me luck on my 100 pushup journey
Cant imagine the little passengers suddenly slamming into the windows going around the curve and the train appearing again in the background. Surprisingly it hadn’t left the tracks.
I'm impressed. Btw, to make the track to a scale that allows the train to travel 300 km/h, you'd need approx. 25 m of curve radii for N scale (4000m real, 1:160)
Although a large scale RC car/truck guy....N scale trains hold a certain fascination to me. A very well presented and interesting demonstration, thanks.
Very very cool. I can relate because I road the barely crawling Amtrak back in the 1970s when it had to slow down and stop in Connecticut to switch (I think from diesel to electric power), and most recently I've often ridden the high speed rail in China at 320 kph. This video captures it all.
Never understood why so many people ( or places) are running their model trains far beyond scale speed, it just doesn’t look right and the trains are worn out faster, too. Nice demo with matching trains vs speed, like many other people pointed out here. 👍
Love watching steam locos running at scale speeds. I remotor and add further gear reduction to my marx locos so they run 20 to 40 mph scale scale speeds. Also add a full wave bridge and super capasitors to cruise smooth over less than clean track.
So right it sounds(speaks) for itself! Excellent! This has been understood for years, but little kids in the 70’s would have thought the faster the better! Cheers

I love this, I wish people did the same (with the sound frequency changing accordingly) on remote control car videos as well. Next time you can try to place the camera further away but with more zoom, to reduce the boké effect that makes it more apparent it's a miniature.
It would be good to feature a 120km/h representation (rated speed for commuter railways e.g. London Overground) and a 320km/h representation (rated speed for Class 374s on Eurostar) as well
I like that even at that scale you still get the ca-clack ca-clack sound as they pass by
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.
