Wow, I had no idea their operation was anywhere near that scale. That is amazing.
I couldn't believe all the cranes they had there. They were huge. Truly incredible the amount of inventory.
Trainz is one of the best hobby shops around I order from em all the time great selection of all kinds of trains and models and the prices are fantastic you can't hardly beat the prices great people to deal with also very nice people!! Great video!!
These folks are a pleasure to deal with. I had no idea of their process.
What an incredible and enjoyable show. Thank you for introducing this wonderful staff. And the Texas Special is certainly a favorite.
Trainz is an online treasure trove. I check there once a day since you never know what will pop up! They also have excellent customer service. Thanks for showing us the inner workings of this fantastic operation! It was an absolute treat!
I have bought quite A bit from TrainZ but I can't believe how big his operation is. I wish him all the best in the world. Guess ill keep looking at his web site. Great video you posted chris.
It was really interesting to see how it all works. Thanks for watching David and maybe I will see ya at York in April.
I am amazed at how big of a business this is! I’ve been model railroader for most of my 62 years, mostly in N & HO, but I’ve always enjoyed these much larger trains. It’s good to see that this facet of the hobby is alive and well, in spite of the common belief that this is a dying hobby! Thanks for an excellent video!
Joining others in appreciating this behind the scenes look at Trainz. Enjoyed seeing you having fun outside the train room. It's heartwarming to see your pleasure at receiving the Texas Special. You are still a kid at heart who repeatedly shares his joy in like you're opening a Christmas present with your first trainset. Appreciate your buoyant personality amidst the darker events in the world. Watching your chanel each week is like a shot of sunshine. Please keep it coming.
Thanks Bill! The trains are helping me to achieve my goal to "never grow up" haha! And making these videos is an escape from reality for me as well. Truly appreciate your support!
I've bought several small 3-4 used N scale locomotive lots from Trainz. And if I remember right some new old stock Atlas remote turnouts as well. Some of my early "will it run" videos on my channel were those purchases. I've been very pleased with the service and the honest representation of the used hardware i've picked up from them. Very cool to see a part of their operation.
@@RBPTrains Feel free to watch some more! lol. Still trying to get over that first 1k subs hurdle. Just passed 600 today so i'm happy about that!
I had no idea Trainz was so large. Bought from them over the years and was always satisfied. Great new set to add to your collection. You are a blessed man. Enjoy!!!!!
Always a pleasure to order items from Trainz. Good people. Now I have a face for Scott Griggs!
Really like the MPC steam special, I have the LTI version from '91 and it's one of my favourites.
Wow, I never knew that their operation was that large. Impressive!
great look at what scott and his crew do behind closed doors! really great they have been getting much more public attention this year! keep it rolling to 20k my friend!
Recently bought an MTH Premier Union Pacific Challenger with proto sound 2 from Trainz. Fantastic model.
I have only bought a few parts from them thru Ebay but now that I have seen their facility and their folks I have a lot of confidence in buying bigger more expensive stuff from them. Great video, thanks for sharing!!
I have a HO NS 1069 from here and I've been in love with it since and I just did a photoshoot with it in the Arizona Golden Hour of the afternoon and it was a fun time to use my new phone with a engine i got already a year ago.
Great Behind the Scenes.. Ive bought a few- Made in USA -Lionel rains from them.
Thanks for taking us along Chris! Looks like an amazing place!
And congratulations on scoring the Texas Special set! Very nice! For a diesel... :)
Awesome Chris, had no idea Trainz was that big! ❤️👍🏻🚂
Funny though they never have what I’m looking for.
Awesome! Such a great opportunity to be able to visit their operation. I think most of us would love to be able to do just that. And that Texas special is hot! Great video Chris
Great show Chris. Enjoyed seeing the Texas Special. That's one train I have had my eye on for a long time. I enjoy your enthusiasm. He speaks about trains with a lot of excitement. You have a great layout and I like it when you give the history of your trains. It was nice to see your wife helping you out. She looks like a wonderful person. Please keep visiting all of these train shops where we can purchase the trains. Your videos are fun and informative. On a lighter note I really like your spiky hair. I have the same style. LOL. Thanks again Chris.
Thanks for your support Robert! These videos are my escape from the "real world" so I always enjoy making them. And funny note about the hair, haha!
Congratulations 🎉👏 on your Texas special enjoy for years to come

Chris; After watching this video, I fell in love with your Texas Special set. After looking and looking, I finally found a mint, never used set. Thanks to you, that set now belongs to me. Next stop, the add-on cars.

I'm a little late to the party, but congratulations! The Texas Special is my favorite name train and the Frisco is my favorite road.

Love that Texas Special set you got there Chris! I’ve always had a pleasure buying from trainz and their service is just great.
Wow what a business it’s nice to see large train collections find new homes I’ll have to give them a try That Texas special looks great going around your layout
Cool Texas Special you got there. Thanks for the video. Have bought some things from Trains.
When I saw the newsletter in my inbox from Trainz with the note about a video I wondered why I’d want to spend time watching s business video. Well, I’m glad I did. What an amazing operation. I’ve bought a few items from transformers to stock and have always been pleased with their prices, selection, and service. This video wall very well done and enjoyable to watch. Very pleased and a big thank you to Chris and the folks at Trainz.
I am glad you clicked on the video too Bob! I had no idea how large the operation was until I got to see it this week. Just incredible. Thank you for watching!

👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Thanks for posting this video Chris. I have bought and sold many items from Trainz. Their purchasing prices are fair in my opinion and their staff is a pleasure to deal with!
Man I am so jealous! That train is on my list of holy grails! Such a cool video and opportunity.

Nice to see the texas special running I have the first one with a b unit in my collection
Phenomenal organization 👍
Congratulations on the Texas Special.....looks like a fine addition to your layout......🎸⛄🇺🇸🦫🎄
What a great video of the truly awesome facility, Chris! The whole process from beginning to end, receiving shipments to inventory to shipping to customers is monumental! This is a mind boggling operation and the joy and surprise you speak of at every turn is the proof! I always enjoy your enthusiasm and cheerful attitude when enjoying this hobby, and sharing such a unique experience with your fans has been icing on the cake! Glad you were able to receive the flagship passenger consist 'The Texas Special' at your door right away! Your excitement over this great find was very enjoyable. Can't thank you enough for this great adventure!
Thank you Tom! It was eye opening and exciting to see how things work behind the scenes. I had no idea just how much went into Trainz until I was there. Really cool! And I still cannot believe they sent me that train :)
Great review and store visit ! Place is amazing !
Wow...what a cool video! Had no idea their operation was this impressive! Thanks so much for sharing! (Folks often sneer at the internet/social media, focusing on & bashing its negative side, but its positive aspects have changed the world, allowing access to endless information that we never imagined possible. Love CZcams! I admit it...I'm a CZcams addict! lol)
I found the Two E8's for the Texas special in HO gauge for an absolute steal.
Great video. They are right in my backyard. I’ve always wondered about them. Great to see behind the scenes. Top notch operation. Thanks for video
Everything about this video was awesome!!
this was an awesome look their organization system is epic!
Glad you were able to get that beautiful Texas Special set! After looking for a while, I was able to pick one up a few years ago, along with the add-on cars. What I love about the set especially are the E7's, which the real Texas Special was pulled by. I also got to see one of the cars from that train at the "Streamlines At Spencer" show in North Carolina in 2014. Keep up the good work 👍!
Been a TRAINZ customer from early on. Nice to see some of the people that make it happen. Jessica has he,ped me a number of times. Thanks for sharing!!!
Great video Chris, awesome place to visit!!!
The Texas Special is so spectacular. I was thinking about the days you could just grab everything off the shelves. Then it's yours.
That was moments before you brought up the shopping cart.
Fun visit with so much eye candy.
I still wish I could have taken a shopping cart around. So many epic trains in that place!
Great video. You always come up with new content to give different perspectives on the hobby. 👍🏼
Thanks Vin! These folks made it easy for this video since there was so much to see :)
This was cool for you to post. Now I know where some of my things came from :-))
Great video, I have dealt with them also with no problems at all. Great new add to the layout
Wow I am at a lost for words, this is awesome
Excellent video, I have been buying a few trains from there. They are awesome to deal with.
Unbelievable operation they have. What fun
Fantastic! Look forward to all your videos. Your personality enhances our viewing pleasure.
Thanks for sharing...Great video!!!
That simultaneous “awesome” at 4:42 described the whole video, this is really cool and well done, Chris!
We were laughing after that clip after we both said "awesome" at the same time, haha!
Keeping it real Chris! Thank you for this kickass video ✌
Awesomeness Chris!
All I can say is WOW!!!!
Chris, congratulations on making the cover and inside article in the new Classic Toy Trains magazine! Just saw the preview on the CTT channel. Welcome to the club my friend.
Bought from trainz, never had problem! Good stuff.
My friend that lives in Texas I know he would love to get the Texas special in N scale, I like the lionel one you got.
Well Chris I bet you felt like a kid in a candy store that is a nice set that you received from them good luck on finding the add-on cars👍👍
Wow Chris! I've been there a couple of times. If I'd known you were in Georgia I would have invited you to the layout. Looks like it was fun!
I will definitely give more notice next time. Would be great to see your layout with your great scenes!
Nice addition to your collection! Trainz is an amazing story from a business perspective all within a hobby which is allegedly dying.🤣
TRAINZ is my favorite dealer! Competent experts that really know what they are doing! I never worry when ordering from them. Bruce Schrimpf
Excellent video I order from trainz all the time and there great people just an awesome experience ordering from them lots of Lionel MPC Era stuff! Well alot of every scale of model trains!!! Great video I enjoy all your videos nice o scale layout also! Your MPC Era Lionel videos are awesome!! Look forward to more nice work!
@@RBPTrains yeah I just luv the Mpc era of Lionel some excellent trains were made for sure during that era!
Wow! Very very interesting. Thanks for the deep dive and tour . Eventually.., this is where my layout will wind up lol 😂
Just subscribed. Epic episode! I was going to order from them. I happened to see your visit there and, wow! I would have no problem doing business with them. They do everything it looks like that I do. Good work on your part filming this. Really good presentation!
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you here and I appreciate your support JD1533!
Great video once in a lifetime experience I am sure
That is 1 sweet set you're very lucky 2 find that train set
Grate video. And the TX train is great .
I've had two experiences with Trainz and neither was good. They sold me something as "new" that clearly wasn't and another time they mailed me the completely wrong item. While they did refund the money, there was no interest in sending me the correct item. They seem like nice people and it sounds like my issues aren't typical.
Thanks for the nice informational video on trains. I have purchased several items from them and have had some great luck purchasing some hard to find trains at a pretty nice price.
Thanks for watching John. I agree that you can find some really great and hard to find items from them!
Chris I am so jealous you hit another HOME RUN for the Hobby. I got so much from Trainz I think we all do. I was looking to sell my old trains for Trainz to sell them for me. I wish I got one of those surprises. So Happy for you Chris great job
Sorry Chris, I just saw this 😱
You are one very lucky dude to have not only toured the facility but to score that set???😱😱😱
Again, the look on your face is priceless!
Enjoy your new model and hope to see more soon. Ron
as my daily wish list e-mail arrives from Trainz
Chris, thanks for providing insight into this business. I am willing to buy from them know, since you have shown how they deal with product. I also love the Texas Special.
Hey RBP Trains, great video! I always wondered how these engines end up at my doorstep. As a fellow MKT fan, I also loved seeing Texas Special in this video.
Just as a sidenote, Lionel also made a Mikado steam locomotive a while ago that has an MKT livery. I thought you may want to know about it, unless you already have it. : )
Once again, great video!
I have been watching for that Mikado but there is also a set of Passenger Cars that Lionel made for it so I have to try and find the whole thing all at once (fingers crossed). Always nice to hear from a fellow fan of the MKT!
Great video thank you
This is awesome!
Chris,
I had to subscribe after your video showcasing Trainz. I do most of my train buying through them. As a matter of fact, today I just purchased a factory new G scale Piko #37243 DB IV BR50 locomotive and a LGB Peabody coal hopper from them. I deal a lot with Carlie Maddox and Frankie over there, they are a great group of people. Thank You for posting this video. Your videos are informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work my friend. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard and thank you for your support! Sounds like you picked up some nice trains for your collection. Everyone at Trainz was friendly and helpful. Really great operation. Thanks for watching! Glad to have you here.
I've bought a ton from Trainz over the years and have had mostly great successes, but even in the handful of problems I've had (damaged items, incorrect descriptions, etc) their customer service has always been top-notch in their efforts to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Will definitely be an ongoing customer!
That is definitely a differentiator for them is their commitment to customer service. I see Catonsville in your YT name so I assume you are local here in the MD area? Thanks for watching!
@@RBPTrains Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am! Right in Catonsville.
I didn't know trainz is a treasure to find things. I thoughtit has pictures only. So I have to check them out for some things I am looking for for ages.
Chris, you have a natural gift for presentation. You would make a great teacher, coach, tour guide, product promoter, etc. That quality, and your genuine love of model trains is what resonates with your viewers and explains your popularity. Well done, young man.
Thank you very much Paul! It is great fun making these videos and the trains do all the presenting. Appreciate your support!
