Streamliners Segment from I Love Toy Trains

- The railroads had transportation to themselves for years, but in the 30s, both airlines and cars began to challenge travel-by-trains, giving the traveler options. So the railroads countered with exciting new designs that made their old steamers look like futuristic rocket ships. It worked, rail passenger service stayed strong as people loved to ride on fancy, modern-looking trains like the El Capitan, Empire State Express, the SP's Daylight, Henry Dreyfuss' Hudson, and Otto Kuhler's Hiawatha. The toy train companies got in the act and made attractive models of just about all the famous streamliners. Most of the streamliners in this segment are MTH's RailKing models.

...I grew up with this series... my childhood is hitting me full force
Yeah Same, I Grew Up With This Show In 2008 All The Way To 2023
Man so much nostalgia. I used to have the entire series. I should probably get a hold of another set at some point.
Aside from “Oh, No!” I found the whole set (parts 1-13) on amazon for under $100. Less if you get parts 1-6 and 7-12 instead of 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12
Whole time I’m just proud of the kid reading his script
His name is Jeff
@@kjfenterprises9618 my name jeff
Aren’t we all
He sounds more comfortable on the mic than I do lol and I’m 53 years old
The only problem with this series is that as a child you would want to buy these toy trains, and you would be rejected by your parents because of how expensive they are.
And the other problem is that when you become a adult the toy trains you wanted as a kid are next to impossible to find for a good price
@@joedaylight yup
Lmao painfully true
And then it happens again when you want modern versions in better scales
I would look to railking, and Williams pieces, most of the streamlines go for under $300
I always love the scene where the Daylight just barrels down the track at "they were fast and sleek"
when
ok i saw it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here are some of my memories from this segment...first it was primarily shot on a layout featuring Atlas 21st Century Track. We made the video for Atlas on their new track and kept the layout intact afterwards. The tinplate catenary system was made by PJ Fusco, and it worked as you saw in ILTT 5. Just about all the trains were MTH RailKing. The SP Daylight was the only scale train. There's a couple shots where we're trying blue screen keyed out to slip in artistic backgrounds. That color position signal at the end was made by Right-of-Way. Traffic signal I believe is Life-Like. The grain elevator kit is Lionel. Just about everything else looks like it's MTH, even the reproductions of the Lionel 47 gates. As you can see we love to show smoke pouring out of steam locomotives. Never gets old. The locomotives were really well-built and great looking models. They were a big deal for the intermediate range of the hobby. They weren't scale, but they still had nice detailing, diecast tenders, open spoked drivers, and good sounds with the automatic passenger station operation sequence. We grabbed every one that was available to make this segment. And everything came together at the end with another great James Coffey song.
I loved this show growing up!
So did I
Same for me
Oh man it’s all coming back to me, I definitely remember this episode. This really takes me back
I have all the discs and I recomend this for young model railroaders because plenty of people grew up with this including me.
This segment inspired my love for the Dreyfuss Hudson and the Commodore Vanderbilt.
This was one of the two parts that introduced me to the New York Central. To this day, the New York Central song and the NYC models are my most vivid memories from watching these as a kid.
Remember that one scene where they made that roundhouse overflow with steam? I wanted to that for 6 years.
my god, the nostalgia
Nostalgic videos having the most banger songs for absolute no fckin reason (3:17)
Facts
Daylight 4449 my favorite!!!!!!
Daylight is my favorite steam locomotive of all time.
Me too
Big boy #4014
Love the daylight
I love Daylight too
I play the Daylight 4449 in Steamnation
It’s a shame that the Pennsylvania Torpedo doesn’t exist in Lionel anymore.
What do you mean? They don’t make them anymore?
@@skiiipawbs yeah i dont think they made them since the 90s same with the Commodore Vanderbilt because i have it in tmcc for the Vanderbilt
The 4449 Daylight still exist
Always one of my most favorite bits from the series. I particularly loved the Empire State Express and 49er as a kid. MTH did a really nice job on all these engines.
Hope you upload the Lionel Hudson’s/Legends of the Rails bit from part 9 one day.
dude i like i love toy trains when i was 9 yearold and i still see it
I miss watching the videos from TM. I wish they would produce more videos.
Ahh memories
Great I loved this song! I have a Lionel 221 myself.
Yo anyone in the 2020s here if yes wassup doesn't this video show nostalgia?
I love the hudson
Some Streamliners are Runing Today Like The Daylight And The J class 611 And More Steamers
My favorite is the Commodore Vanderbilt.
Me too
That's Speedy Mcallister from Chuggington's basis
Why don't passenger trains look like this anymore? :(
The southern pacific daylight is my favorite too
Me too
You like the 4449 freedom train scheme too that’s cool
I actually have two MTH SP daylights. One's from the 2007 RTR set and the other is a Railking GS-2. I love them both.
Me 3
That part was prob being read from the script
In the song when it said. Daylight you should’ve put a ham in the video
NYC Steam Locomotive Streamliners are my favorite, next to the N& W J class # 611.
Streamlined steam engines RULE
Perfect example I can use to make my point of these engines very clear
SP 4449 Look's Very Nice.
Great job on the video Awesome trains ( Doug in GA 🐈 ) don't get much better
Whoosh! you wonder who is passing through! Whoosh! You won’t won’t believe it’s even true! Whoosh! but all you see of me will be, a shiny streak of racing blue!
Go Thomas Go, Go Thomas Go!!!!
🎶All I want is a bit of redefining!
A slinky, slicker, swifter coat that’s smooth and shining
To get the speed I really need! Streamlining!🎶
this is the sound of my childhood
well the MILW 261 is still running, Stored In (Minneapolis Junction, Minneapolis MN)
The 4449 SP GS4 is from MTH Premier, while the others are MTH Railking.
As u said before it’s bad enough that thousands of steam locomotives have been scrapped but even worse that almost literally every streamliner as well
Yeah
I love your channel! Keep up the good work!
This is where I learned all my train intelligence
I love the NYC 20th century limited Dreyfus Hudson
hey 4449 survived
Along with N&W 611 and C&O 490
very cool. You have such a great set up BIG like 12
4449 and Dreyfus Hudson❤❤❤🚂
ahhhhhh i wish i have those
That streamliner is my favorite to kiddo and its still alive burning oil and pounding down the tracks
How come N&W 611 is not here?
Or Santa Fe’s blue goose
The kids made this the most awesome video ever!
Steam is king on the rails
1:41 Canadian Pacific #2317’s whistle
spectaaaaaaacular
This was my childhood!
Cool
Hiawatha is my fav
This is why I play Trainz 12 all the time.
1:41 that audio it's from Berkshire Productions
i love the drafiss
And my favorite is the most popular Western mountains 611 Norfolk and Western steam locomotive the most beautifullest steam engine
The only thing I don’t like is that when James Coffey says “The Hudson, The Daylight, and The Burlington Zephyr,” it shows the New York Central trains. Everything else it perfect 👌
32 year old thats how old i am daylight is oil powerd
my favror train is the train ( i like all of them xD )
My favorite streamliner is the Santa Fe Blue Goose
Look's Cute.
I need these trains
I like how 4449 is just smiles 4449: :>
Great presenter
Did you know the coast daylight actually started in 1937 with the introduction of the GS-2 and GS-3 but the locomotive in the film was built in the 1940s as it is a GS-4 which were started being built in early 1941
I hope you Upload The Grand Canyon Railway from Part 7 as well.
The streamlined NYC Hudson locomotive looks like Connor from Thomas & Friends.
Connor was based off of it
0:48 why does the backround look like an oversized lionel g scale thomas
That union pacific steam engine it’s good but the coaches look like the Hiawatha’s
I love it
🔔
Coolest.
I love it 🕭🔔🔔🕭🔔🕭🔔
Who read this? They did a great job
4449 is still around today
The thing wrong about this is that there are still restored streamliners out there
And I meant the steam version of streamliners
0:44 What company manufactured that model of the Daylight?
MTH premier
4449 is the survivor
From part 7 1999.
Rio grande 5629: 1988 Mercury.
Can you guys make a segment from I love toy trains number 11 about the streamlined locomotives?
All of these Streamliners in this Video was scrapped Irl (except 4449) which is very sad
Unlike most people, i like the empire state express and the drifus hudson
Any American streamlined steam engine is either Extinct, under construction, a 4-8-4, or a C&O Hudson.
Do streamliners ever pulled freight?
Yup, primarily on SP, The GS steam locomotives were downgraded to mostly freight service in the 50's due to dieselization.
3801 from Australia did during WW2
4:27: The Hudson, Daylight and Burlington Zephyr...
The middle train isn’t even the Daylight!
the one on the right isnt even the zephyr
They're bad.
The daylight is my favorite to
Reuploaded
3:23. Shut up! I’m not c-c-crying
