0:30 Ah, the joys of railroading. During my work years at the major railroad one morning, I drove into the parking lot, and sitting halfway into the turntable pit was an MP15. The last person moving it failed to apply the hand brake so it very nicely rolled into the pit. Funny how "stuff" always rolls downhill.
Great call for the troublesome trucks laugh to come after those ore cars disconnected themselves from the locomotive. Sparked a lot nostalgia for me too.

**TTTE runaway theme plays** Then there was trouble. The hoppers were getting faster and faster. They noticed another train at the bottom of the hill, but they didn’t care. The hoppers smashed into the other train, and made a huge mess. The fat controller was very cross, and the GP engines learned their lesson about the troublesome hoppers.
*TTTE runaway theme starts* Narrator: the trucks went faster and faster, the trucks said “on! On! Faster! Faster!” Then there was trouble, the trucks smash into Donald and Douglas’s train.. The trucks fell down the hill!
Having covered many wreck trains during my railroad years I always enjoyed "cross lots" the best. Got a lot of insight from the wreckmaster as to the behavior of the equipment as one car followed another during the derailment. Some of these vignettes are educational.
actually its a cause of both coupler height being a little off (too low) and/or poor trackwork that causes those issues. If the height is correct and the trackwork is good, and it still does it, slightly bending the hose upward will get it to clear the rail head. I have had to do this to a few cars on a club layout (HO) and my own layout (N).
I run a lot of antique HO scale, pre-WWII though 1950s that I still use Mantua Automatic couplers on (AKA Mantua Loop couplers), these were the first automatic couplers, the thing about these, is you can pick up the locomotive, hold it vertical, nose up, and have all the cars dangle down underneath it. So, after I installed a lift out bridge on my layout, I had roughly 12-14" of electrical dead zone either side, only one rail insulated. Unfortunately, a longer wheel base Varney steam locomotive kept power flowing through the supposedly dead rail (Right side of locomotive has un-insulated wheels that are all electrically linked through the frame, loco would not go dead until last wheel is on insulated rail) and with the momentum, it nose dived to the floor. Funny part was, it was a long passenger train of prewar Walthers passenger cars, the entire train was still coupled and the last two cars were still on the track.
The tank in question was far ahead of the derailment, it was sharp slack that broke it clean. Car was being used as a divider for yarding the cuts accordingly.
I’m a train wrecker for RJ Corman I pick these up for a living I think it’d be awesome if you got some model cat 583 side booms and had them staged picking up a derailment. As a boom operator I’d love to see that.
Great video especially with the sound effects. Derailments is the biggest problem I have ever had with HO trains and sadly it doesn't take much, a little dirt on the wheels, especially ones with the RP25 flange along with truck mounted couplers. I now use strictly Kadee couplers and every car has it couplers body mounted and I have even taken wheel sets apart put the wheels in my lathe and deepened the tread a little bit to give the flange more to grab the rail with. It's a lot of pain staking work but in the long run well worth the time.
@@awesomecronk7183 Yes I do, I try to keep the same RP25 angle but only deep. I use a dremel cutoff wheel attachment that has been beveled so it will fit into the back of the wheel and hold it securely in the lathe, and then with a very sharp fine file I file the flange deeper and use a micrometer to measure to make sure all wheels are filed the same. I have done it with cars and Athearn 6 axle locomotives. I have had great success doing this. Over the years I have had issues with trains derailing on Atlas switches because basically the points suck, but once I started filing the wheels derailments have virtually disappeared, I have also stopped using Atlas swithces and changed tp Pico, much better switch and you don't have to worry about wiring the frog.
I was just about to comment asking if those coal cars are the troublesome trucks (from Thomas and friends) of your layout but you adding their laugh track from the show and answered my question lol
Given you were using Thomas & Friends sound effects, I had an idea for a future video you could make: Recreating all, or as many as possible, of the TTTE crashes. Probably start with the RWS ones, since they're more realistic, and thus probably easier to recreate.
@@thomasboese3793 But recreating the crashes themselves? Something like Percy's Predicament I imagine would be somewhat tough. Or Godred's accident on the mountain.
@@mastertrams I forget where/when I saw it, but there is a great video about the making of TTTE series. There is no permanent layout, it's just a quick build of the scene for the story, with just enough track off-camera to do the job. So... if "they" did it, that means it can be recreated. It simply will take time and a creative twist of thinking.
@@thomasboese3793 And the railway series? The vast majority of which was based entirely off real-life yet seemingly fictional accidents? Might be slightly more challenging to make the seemingly ridiculous realistic.
I love these they are hilarious! At least there not crashing the trains on purpose and when they do they don’t break anything and if they do break something it’s usually only minor
3:11 union pacific NANI!!!! engineer, Jerry throw her in reverse we gotta get those damn troublesome trucks. Troublesome trucks, Oh sh*t were caught. awesome videos man keep it up 😁😁😁
The runaway train crashes seem like they would fit well into a TTTE episode.

Those hanging coupler airbrake hoses seem to cause a lot of these derailments
They really do
