Still remember back in the days Indonesian trains are trash, so crowded, people are sitting on it, so dirty, chaotic, and now look at this. Woah.

This is the amazing high speed rail line, brand new & only open since late 2023. China's HSR High Speed Rail network is the largest in the world. And they have the fastest trains in the world now. Yes, the Chinese HSR trains are FASTER than those in Europe including both Germany/France & yes, faster than the much talked about Shinkansen Japanese bullet trains. Whoosh is FASTER! Indonesia literally leap-frogs ahead decades ahead of other countries with this transportation. High Speed Rail is better for the planet, better for people & the best alternative to both road transport and air travel. You get the high speed travel time, and the train is a much better ride than either the bus or plane. AWESOME WAY TO GO - Indonesia~! Whoosh YES!

Midland Freight looks great but its so... plastic 😂😮😂 real MPC! 😂❤ The crane car is like 99% plastic 😂 the 4 wheel caboose all plastic, the engine is a plastic shell docksider body of course 😂😂❤🎉😂😊

The Marx battery engine has 2 speeds: 1.forward and 2. backwards 😂😮😅

Merry Christmas in July!!! 🎉😂🎉

I love old school floor layouts❤!

These Indonesian KAI 🎉intercity trains blast past the commuter platforms! 😂😮🎉

It's a fast smooth ride. 🎉 If ride was 3 hours, 😂 🎉 I would either take 2 biz class seats side by side😂 or the 1st class VIP solo😮 seat!🎉❤😊

😂Jakarta SHIA was crowded 4 su'😂

Comments about cost of train and profit: Guess what??? It just opened! And ridership is low without service yet to Surabaya. Once extended to the length of the line planned to Surabaya there will be a much larger market for riders. Also, that trip will be reduced from 8 hours down to 3 aboard the Whoosh. While people in North America can only dream about such fast trains, Indonesia has already made this dream a reality with the help of China. Best of luck and blessings~!

The sound is from an actual General Electric U-series diesel engine.

End of this year or early next year the second phase of this bullet train project will be continuing. Indonesian railways last decade is so so bad. But nowday has change revolutionary.

🎉Da Lat city is the great and best place near HCMC that is Saigon. Overnight bus ride easy trip from TP HCM to TP DaLat even the buses leave right near Pham Ngu Lau & Bui Vien for the foreigners in District-1 its a super easy bus ride.

The Video are incredible. You are wise and smart traveller using the train for your trip. Avoiding the traffic jam and the hectic of Jakarta. And of course exact time depart and arrival. This train made in by local state own company name PT. KAI. All of train class in Indonesia now with AC from the lowest class to the most expensive. In some class with free WiFi on board. Free drinking water in some main station. Enjoy your holidays.

Awesome

I remember Joe D doing Mr. Coffee commercials when I was a kid.

Awesome bob

Hi bob !

Happy New Year 2024~!

Bob, I enjoyed your wind up train action. Wind up trains are fun.

Very nice

Have you ever tried pulling a Fun-dimensions tender and cars with the steamers? I took a Marx wind-up locomotive that would not move when coupled to a postwar car with metal trucks. I got it to pull a Fun-dimensions tender and three fun-dimensions freight cars.

Nice shots in and out of the dark. Thanks for sharing.

The metal body would give it more traction, but the plastic body would give the locomotive a lower center of gravity and, at least in theory, allow it to go around curves at a higher speed.

A lot of action in a small space. Fun to watch!

A nice review of the Yard King set from 1981. Except for the caboose, you covered each piece in detail and did a fine job. Your knowledge of MPC is commendable.

Having the same ones at home

Neat elevated level and lots of train action.

I enjoyed your video very much. I am confused about one thing, the Greenberg's Lionel Price Guide classifies it as an NW2 Switcher although I thought all NW2's had three position e-units. Can you shed any light on this?

Cool video.

I like it !!

Hi bob !

😊😊😊 mntap

Very nice train, it really performs well even with 2 cars,

Thats a nice layout , busy !

Nice train run with a double loop and siding in the middle.

I do the same thing using my cellphone and a DT&I MPC Switcher, nice short.

Nice running session. 😎👍

I have and run one of those Midland Santa Fe sets, a lot of fun! I converted my to AC since that's what my transformers are. Cool vid.

I enjoyed watching the trains traverse the unique layouts. Thanks for sharing.

I have replaced the ornamental chromed bell on top. Just oiled both the 8602 & 8302 MPC steamers again & they are running like champions! They run very WELL on either A.C. alternating current OR on D.C. direct current. No issues, No problems and they are both decent pullers, able to handle well above their original starter set consist. These are always 2 of my most rugged, durable, easy to maintain & long running of all Lionel steam engines be they Postwar or MPC eras. Love live the Lionel MPC Scout steamers!

I have seen these gas stations in a blue color scheme and also the orange as show above. I prefer the orange one, which was harder to find. But I got it. They may come in other colors that I am unaware of. The top of the gas station actually folds back - when it's folded forward, it is both a roof to the station and also a 2nd level complete with a ramp for vehicles. It's not easy to see that from the video.

So cute!! This is the age where the love of trains starts. The different colors most definitely attract the young engineers.

Nine Hundred Miles Arr. James Coffey Well I'm ridin' on this train, I've got tears in my eyes Tryin' to read a letter from my home If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow Well this train I ride on is a hundred coaches long You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow Now if you say so, I will railroad no more Sidetrack my train and go home If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
