Hello! Welcome to my CZcams railroading channel! Here you'll find train videos I've made with my digital cameras of real trains and model trains as well as footage from the game Train Simulator Classic (formerly Railworks). In addition, I have footage of electrics, diesels and steam locomotives from all three of those forms. From the East Coast to the West Coast, I cover it all!

The Layouts at Time Machine Hobby in Manchester, CT 7-21-24
Time Machine Hobby is a toy and hobby supply store in Manchester, CT. This store is known for having the largest model train display in New England and it consists of three separate layouts, which are an HO scale layout, an N scale layout and an O gauge layout. On every first and third Sunday of every month, their layouts are up and running. On July 21, 2024, I went to this store and joined CZcamsrs Train538 and The Train Guy and we got to see the layouts running.
This video is of the HO and O gauge layouts in operation that day. For unknown reasons, the N scale layout was not running during our visit. The clips are shown in geographical order instead of chronological order starting from the end of the HO scale layout at Pennsylvania's Horseshoe Curve to Chicago and then to Downtown Altoona, PA, while the O gauge layout is shown from the urban end to the mountain end. Also featured is royalty-free music.

best childhood bro
Oh hey its an spv-2000 They looked good but didnt have the best performance
That's why they were de-powered and converted into coaches and cab cars.
The Former SPV 2000 was at Danbury Railway Museum. 😊
I saw the former SPV 2000s owner and his friend at Steamtown PA a couple yrs ago.
@@wes1243 Demotorized SPV 2000s were also used south of here on Metro North Waterbury Branch. I saw pictures on Wikipedia...
Great video, Tom! You looked like a natural. I noticed it looked like you had ear plugs on? Is it loud in the yard and cab? You should consider an old GoPro and headmount to record future videos like this
Thanks Brogan! I did have ear plugs in my ears. It can be loud when operating a locomotive or any rail vehicle in general when you have the windows open or if it doesn't have any windows. The flange squeal around curves and the close proximity of the whistle to the cab can be loud. The ear plugs help to preserve your hearing for sure, but it can be at least a little more difficult to hear people if they're talking to you or yourself if you're talking out loud. Good idea about the GoPro camera for guest operating sessions of real trains. That would be like viewing it from my first person point of view since I could strap it to my head or chest and not have to ask somebody to hold the camera for me.
Impressive video of these trolleys. I have seen a lot of trains when visiting London, England, United Kingdom, Paris, France, and now I’m in Italy. I will see more trains here in Italy and also go to Switzerland and Germany soon to see more trains.
I love it
Good
Great video I love this old steam engine! It looks goos
I love the Germany crossing
That was my child 😭😭😭
Huh? 😕 There are no children in this video.
Nice video, Tom
Wow
I was 5 when I first saw this yall 😂
This video was one of my first videos on trains when I wad 4 and I feel at peace finally finding this after so long
Watched this in 2016 as a child, and now I'm here again
Hi. I like the trains. Would you have a telephone number for the Ansonia train show coming up in April? Thank you for your time. Michael
Hi Michael. The phone number and more info for the Ansonia Train Shows can be found here on the official website for them. www.classicshowsllc.com/
I love the Metro North. I use to ride them to go to Mount Vernon with my dad.
This is part of my childhood
Me too
Nice video, Tom. Looking forward to your Christmas pickup video
Great 2023 Special. Also to let you know, I had went to the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, Nevada back in December 3rd 2023 when they were running the Santa Train Ride that was being pulled by Virginia & Truckee 25 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1905).
This is my childhood
I guess I wasn’t the only one who watched this I was a kid
Is this a big show? Does anyone know how big is the show? Thank you!
It's a small show. It takes place in only one building that consists of an events room, restrooms a lobby and a stage.
Great video. I like trolleys. If i ever visit. I'll ride those trolleys. I like the musical tune. The Entertainer by Marvin Hamsliche. The theme song from the movie The Sting. The Sting 2 and The Sting 3. Great movies about conartists.
The Shore Line Trolley Museum is an awesome museum. I love it! I totally recommend it to anybody! You'll enjoy that museum if you go there someday. Yes I did use the song "The Entertainer" in this video. It was originally done by Scott Joplin, but many people have covered it since it first came out and is now a public doman/royalty-free song. That song was used in the movie "The Sting" and I did see it, great movie! I haven't seen any of its sequels though.
@@TomedysTrains Hi hope all is well with you and your family too. When I come down I'll definitely ride on those trolleys. Also you said you saw The Sting. You never saw the sequels. When you get the time. Watch The Sting 2 and The Sting 3. They're great movies. Robert Redford is awesome.
@@jasonervoes1326 Thank you for your kind words and recommendations. You'll love the Shore Line Trolley Museum and they have a great variety of trolleys and subways there that I'm sure you'll enjoy. I agree, I think Robert Redford is awesome too.
It took me a while but I was searching for this video to look back on my childhood memories, now looking at the comments I can't believe so many people have the same nostalgia!
Anyone else notice that the 0-6-0 was not on display
That locomotive was in a shed siding by the parking lot. I don't know the official reason why, but it might have been receiving some cosmetic work at the time of my visit. I would imagine that once the cosmetic work is complete, it will be put back on display on the display siding along the east side of the station.
@@TomedysTrains ok thanks
Great video as always Tom. Loved the coupling action there and the Centercab
❤
Man, i loved to watch this as a kid!!!
It was nice meeting you that day
Thank you very much! Nice meeting you too that day! Nice channel you have too Man! If only I had known about your channel sooner.
Nice video, Tom
Great video. I am going to the Illinois Railway Museum tomorrow and the day after that too.
What's that awful noise at 3:02?
That might be some gears, motors or pulleys grinding for the animations at the Dutch Wonderland scene. If not that, it could be one of the trolleys. During my visit, one of the trolleys actually derailed. I notified the Choo Choo Barn staff about it and they fixed it.
Nice video, Tom. Looks like a nice time.
This brings me back nostalgia i Watched this when i was 3 years old :D
Great video on this National Train Day update. I’m going to be visiting the Black River & Western Railroad, New Hope & Ivyland Railroad, and the Strasburg Railroad later this month. Along with possibly the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, and the Choo Choo Barn too. Also, I’m going to the Day out with Thomas event, at the Strasburg Railroad.
Great shots, Tom!
this is the exact birthdate
That is correct. It was my intention to release this video on the 10th anniversary of when the International Railroad Crossing Action in Railworks 2 video came out.
one my childhood videos on my birthdate but not on the birth year...
Always loved trains and my daughter did too, we loved Thomas the tank engine, "before they animated him." We would go to Essex and Edaville and sometimes we would go right here to New London and sit on the bench outside the depot and watch the trains come and go.

My childhood
See my Green Mountain 405 made it!
Thank you for your comment! The HO scale Green Mountain Alco RS1 #405 that's seen in the thumbnail of this video is yours huh? Cool! I saw the real one in person and rode a special excursion train it pulled in 2014 from Bellows Falls, VT to Chester, VT and back.
@@TomedysTrains Nice! And yes the one in the thumbnail is indeed mine, it’s sitting in the next room over currently lol
@@PalmerSubRailVideos Sitting in the next room over you say? In the Young Building at the Big E Fairgrounds? The show ended two and a half weeks ago. Wasn't aware that there are model trains still on the property after the show lol. Or are they actually there?
Nice shots, Tom!
Great video of this train show.
Happy holidays Tom nice video and nice Christmas pick-up's! I see your Michael Jackson hopper from Al Mayo featured at the end of the video there
Happy Holidays and New Year to you too Brogan! Thank you for your kind words. Yes indeed, that is the Michael Jackson (and Billy Mays, since they both lived from 1958 to 2009) covered hopper that Al Mayo did the custom weathering and graffiti on at the end of the train at the end of the video, well spotted.
Insane comeback make more it's so cool !!!
Merry Christmas Tom! Looking forward to your train haul video for this year (if you so opt to do one). Are you going to Amherst come January? Stay safe and see you in the new year!
Thank you Brogan! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! If you'd like to know what videos of mine are coming out in the future, best suggestion I can give is to join my Patreon page at the Business Class or First Class membership level.
Pretty cool video of those Amtrak Trains. My birthday is coming on Friday.
Thank you for your comment. I enjoy the Niantic Bay Boardwalk. It's nice to see the trains go along it at speed (and to ride a passenger train along it at speed) and enjoy the sea view and sea breeze. Happy birthday Nathan.
Nice vid Tom. I was unaware of the Ansonia show
Thank you Brogan. It was a nice small show that they had twice for 2022. I enjoyed both of them!
Pretty cool video of this train show. I had went on a Amtrak Train from New York City to Washington D.C. and was a lot of fun. It was also my first time to video a operation electric locomotives. The locomotive that was pulling the train was Amtrak ACS-64 No. 631.
