    I love your trains!
    When I was young (I am now 65) I trained as a fireman/stoker on steam engines in Cape Town South Africa.
    I was paid a fortune at the time (the equivalent of around $1.65 a day in 1975, although our currency was then MUCH stronger, so probably around $16 a day!).
    I just loved the way the engine “breathed” and responded to every touch.
    Taking water by kicking a lever on the floor, and creating a vacuum was almost a sexual experience!
    An entire train once derailed while I was illegally driving it (my driver was sleeping) but thank The Lord it was not my fault and I had done nothing wrong (the points were badly set).
    But what an experience.
    I relay the entire episode in my book Lesson From The Sauna which you can buy for a few cents on Kindle.
    I am sure you will enjoy the one chapter called “When The Trains Roll By” which is about the derailment, and is also set in White Rock, BC Canada through which many US trains trundle every day (much to the chagrin of most Canadians).
    And me.
    But stupid Canada for selling the railway line right along the quaint beachfront to a foreign company!
    Anyway. There is nothing like the sensual experience of a steam engine as I am sure you know well.
    I can’t wait to see your trains shunt through snow in your backyard! Good luck....

    Gordon: (annoyed) I hate that tram now. He's not even electric.
    Toby: Whoosh!

    The Santa Fe Super Chief that you owned are actually EMD F7 A-B units. The F7 is a 1,500 horsepower Diesel-electric locomotive built by EMD between 1949 & 1953. A total of 2,393 cab-equipped lead A units and 1,463 cabless-booster units would be built. The 3 railroads that had the most orders of the F7 is Southern Pacific (250 A units & 220 B units), the New York Central (238 A units & 56 B units), and the Santa Fe (215 A units & 247 B units).

    2:46: So without further ado, let's go go go!
    First up today, a train that Jim Zim's RUclips viewers including me really seemed to love. Jim Zim have got a lot of great comments about the Santa Fe Super Chief diesel locomotive #202 from LGB. It is a classic from an era that is long gone when passenger trains carried more passengers than airplanes.
    There are five different cameras to capture these time trails.
    A GoPro camera captures the start and finish of the time trials.
    Another GoPro camera for the waterfall fountain view before the G scale model trains head under the orange tree.
    Third GoPro camera mounted on the G scale model trains for the POV which by the way stands for Point Of View shots at ground track level.
    Fourth camera which is the cell phone camera in the garage where it captures the halfway times of the 25 of 26 G scale model trains and also the halfway sign. The halfway sign was 6 and/or 10 feet short where it really should have been.
    Back to camera number three mounted on the G scale model trains from Bachmann, LGB, MTH Electric Trains and Piko as we go through the laundry room and in to the kitchen before reaching the dining room.
    And the Dining Room Cam which is the big Canon DSLR 80D camera, which explains why the picture quality is so much better than the other cameras.
    Once the G scale model trains reach the dining room, they have the start and finish line in sight and we will see the fast and slow runs on the layout.
    Holy Cow we don't believe what we have just saw!
    Toby the #7 0-6-0 brown steam Tram Engine from Thomas and Friends manufactured by Bachmann ran the layout in 37 seconds and the halfway time of 17 seconds beating all of the G scale model trains in the race!
    You will do another race with 26 G scale analog, battery powered and DCC locomotives in your G scale model train collection sometime someday in the future!

    As what Thomas said, "Little Engines Can Do Big Things."
    Thomas is now the fastest tank engine in your collection, beating Percy, the Porter & Swiss Locomotive.

    3.Toby's number is (obviously) 7.
    4.if you add the numbers of his end time, you get 10.
    5.Then you add Toby's number to the 10 and you get his
    half way time.
    To put it more simply, if you add Toby's NO.7 and the ending time, you'll get 17 which is his half way time!

Unfortunately, with one loop being dcc and the other straight dc, it wasn't the best way to see which pair could outrun the other but it was loads of fun anyway! Take care buddy!

So, instead of racing against the clock, the trains are actually racing each other side-by-side. The goal is to find out if Toby is still my fastest train. Maybe know that he's a year older, he might be starting to slow down. ha ha ha

    Hi Jim. Hats off to you for a fun idea. Unfortunately, I don't think it settled the question of which loco was the fastest because - to use a horse racing analogy - it should have been a handicap race (do you use that expression in the US?). I wasn't a fair comparison as you had battery/DC/DCC locos and also they were of different weights. It is beyond my small brain to come up with a method of handicapping, but it would have been nice to see one.

      The Super Chief definitely has interior lighting. So does my Amtrak train.

      @JimZim  4 года назад +1

      Thanks! I consider it a matter of professionalism to do it that way, and I am always shocked when I see big-time RUclipsrs who don't give it any thought at all and let ads just drop in randomly in the middle of their videos, totally interrupting the content. It is totally up to the individual video owner to decide if ads will be placed during the video, and they always have the option to specify the exact moment when ads should appear. It seems like most RUclipsrs are just too lazy to take the time to do it the way I do it. I think my way makes the ads much less annoying for viewers. I'm glad you noticed that I put a little more effort in to it than most RUclipsrs do!

      @@JimZim For sure, when i saw that edit, i was like, that is not timing. I never knew content creators could choose where to put their adds, and plan, and record...accoringly. And honestly, haveing a break, right before the ad, makes the difference. I dont feel like im roped into watching an ad, this felt like it was part of the program. All too often, as you stated, many content creators drop them mid sent...*buy our car buy our soap* ...ence, and it gets annoying every 4-5 minutes on longer videos.
      Cheers, have a wonderful week, stay safe, stay healthy, and as they say on WNTW with Ken Paterson, "We share the best hobby in the world, so rock-n-roll, lets go run some trains!"

    The Amtrak dash 8 is the only different one of the three. It’s a different model. If you look at the wheels the others are 6 axle locos while the Amtrak one is a 4 axle.
