What I love about old Top gear is it was more than just a car show
Then watch grand tour on amazon prime video

Well spotted genius.
It was a car shitpost and i love it
The James Train is basically from the period of time where people thought going over 40 mph would just obliterate the human body.
And according to this, it would.
I know... My grandfather once fought a train and won
Funny enough going over 40 will kill many humans. Especially if the medium runs into them or stops abruptly without seatbelts.
kockin nora
@@openlyracist8055 duh morron
That actually went a lot better than I expected. Not a single fire, explosion, piano dropped on a caravan, etc. One of their more successful efforts!
Or at least until Hammond burns down half the train and a diesel locomotive demolishes the scum class car in the second part.
It's almost an homage to caravans 😂
You've not seen part 2 of this, apparently.
@@quillmaurer6563 Sounds like I need to watch the second part!
OK, just watched it. I see what you mean! :)

This is the one and only time they will ever tell James to slow down
Dr gh am. Cghji try week
Oh! I thought that was against the law.
Diego Flor thanks but my comment wasn’t factual
Wait it was possible to ask that?
@@charlienorton2337 To ask James to slow down.
Either way, you've ruined the joke.
It's really cute seeing how excited James is. He really has a passion for both cars and trains.
He's the love child of David Tennant and Davey Jones 😂
If Dutch people had to design a train...
5:36 this scene killed me btw
Wdjm Dutch?

All fun and games until you hear a loud horn and 80mph coming at you in your rear view mirror.

Cornell Kirk not when pulling 35 thousand pounds lol
Jafah omg lol
Teagen Smith how heavy do you think 4 stripped out caravans are? 😂😂
Cornell Kirk i don't know but still. The guy was super happy at 25 kmh soooo

So effective
Funny it is
Screw aws, use the the HAS (Hammond Alert System)

12 years later, still the best show that's ever aired
I love how excited Richard gets when he finds out the man is a Colonel. That gleeful respect for a military man is so sweet.
Honestly, I think it was more fear. They really don't wanna upset a colonel because they know he can rain Hell down on them if he wants to.
The Caravan lorry is just a bit so they were just expecting more minor people to come along and review it as a joke rather than a person of significant standing who likely has more important things to do.
Stuart Maconie is right, he's such a bumlicker.
As a car show they do have to show respect for oil company employees like that.

i honestly can't believe the BBC allowed them to make this episode
It was on a preserved railway line also the bbc can afford huge insurance fees
So cheap to do this and simple.
It's all scripted and acted.
James Jackson yes its scripted but this is preserved line on an day k
@@idonotlikeboats9328 I didn't totally understand what you wrote?
I've always thought of this "car on railway thing" when I was young, and it's really satisfying for me to see it happen. Now, I'm gonna die in cool peace.

Same here
It's really awesome to see someone actually making it
Search up Hi-Rails
I like the part where Hammond said "You're a colonel" His expression is priceless.
Yeah lol, it's like the two different tones of "oh my god" at the same time: the excited one and the terrified one
6:06
"Im now doing nothing!" The way he's saying it, all proud and excited.
You gotta love the renovations they did to the caravans to make them train cars. If they had better suspension then maybe they actually could've been a train.

This is my favourite episode because of how creative the comedy was, like Hammond dropping the plate of sandwiches off the train and it lighting on fire were hilarious
My favorite part was that Jeremy named his car (on the first train, which he later defected from to make the sports train) SCUM CLASS. And that Hammond and May put such effort into theirs and his was just some straw on the floor.
5:36 imagine what those passengers were thinking
Probably an empty train, as it was a heritage line they used and therefore still more of a secret for the episode
“Lucky bastards”
7:06 I thought they got killed.
SAME AHAHAHAH
Yeah 😂😂same
Same here
XD
Hahahaha same
Imagine just minding your own business in a train when you see these idiots blaze through XD
It would make my day 😂
They're pretty cool idiots though as far as idiots go
I would be damm I wanna be on dat train 😂😂 fuck tfl dere scum
literally blaze through .
It would be heaven
The part where Richard dropped the silver platter had me crying on the floor with laughter
6:10
I absolutely lost it when the moose head fell off the wall
I wheeze-laughed, Clarkson-style

2:25 I dreamed about this when I was a little kid 😂🙌🙌🙌👏👏👌
1:39 I love the way the cameraman framed the shot, so it just says "ASS" next to Hammy XD
who else remembers watching this on tv with your dad
Can relate
I do!

put on cruise control and it'll completely drive itself

@@michelleobama3013 Thanks for doing something useful, Michelle. Finally.........
Hammond looks like a guy who woke up late and wore an oversized carriage suit. Legendary as usual
Half the time, he looks like he woke up late and barely made it to work on time
3:06 in summary why train engineers have the best views in vehicles
"I hope they're not planning a sleeper version" lol
czcams.com/video/PTc1YRqs160/video.html !!!!!!,
That's the typical British sarcasm that I like.......... 😂
You could make a sleeper version
Provided the passengers were knocked out
No drinks? There are like 50cokes in that buffet car
MrsMoon Jelly probably all flat due to the constant shaking.
Probably referring to the bit where Richard couldn't get the hot stuff through on the cart 😂
I think they mean alcohol
That's for them when they break down
Ima nick one ;)
No three people on earth can ever replace the charisma and connection that Jeremy, James and Richard that formed on this show, a show that will undoubtedly be remembered forever in automotive history. 😢❤
6:54 one of my most favourite Top Gear moments XD
"The wind in your hair, the bees in your face...!"

Bees in your face... thats a nightmare!!!

"I'm going to ask the driver, Mr. May, to slow down a little bit, just while we're serving the drinks."
*climbs out window*
"JAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMESSS!!!!!!!!"
"I have feet made of flesh with nerves in them like human being, not lumps of lead yoked to an incompetent oaf" May is pure gold!
When Hammond dropped all the refreshments and couldn’t get the drinks through the door was that at all scripted ? If not that brilliant
TacticalS it’s hard to tell what’s scripted and what isn’t
That was totally scripted.
I’m here wondering if the fire was scripted
Of course it is, but still bloody brilliant script and acting!
It probably was scripted.
This was genuinely one of the best episodes of television of all time. It’s why it was once the most popular show in the world.
It’s a car show, with three best friends sharing a passion.
The filming, Hammond’s hilarity with the catering, and May’s total delight about running the whole thing.
I am curious: did they get permission from the railway to even make this episode?
they probably were granted permission to use a quite section of a branch line as opposed to the main line as branch lines typically have lower freight and public traffic running.
considering they didn't mount on a station but in a sidling this si probably what they did.
@@axiosriot Thanks!
@Aussie Pom interesting
No they did it when they weren't looking
Obviously they did 😂
4:27 "The man on the left, he is just a man" Lmao XDXDXD
I can't be the only one who flashed back to Sonic Boom. "He's just a guy"
actualy, with propper suspension on the caravans, it would be a nice idea
And connecting them or making some sort of passage
Plus the caravans themselves would have to be bigger!
Exactly, heavy, wheel mounted springs would damp out the lateral oscillations, and make it less shaky. That's what all the compartments do in real trains.
The solution might be putting them on top of boogies from a class 313/2 or an American Subway train the R32/R44 Staten Island Railroad that way ride is smoother
3:58 that’s what she said
Wow Richard Hammond asking james may to slow down it's a once in a lifetime event 😂😂
"EVEN HERE WE'RE STUCK BEHIND CARAVANS!" LMAO
Try being stuck behind a row of five for eight solid hours on the A303. It was like the apocalypse.
the apocalypse would be great, if you survive there would be no one on the road that can get you stuck
We've all seen what real trans do to caravans?
sew ds
If I'm honest, though, that wasn't the most immediate problem.
3:22 I was expecting this to happen so hard and it delivered
"Also, i have feet made out of flesh, with nerves in them, like a normal human being" - someone trying to look like James May
After seeing a similar scene in Octopussy, I am thrilled to see that cars on train tracks are still evolving.
Since he’s the most knowledgeable on trains, it’s fitting that James gets to drive.
"I hope they're not planning on a sleeper version of this" Excuse me, it is called white noise good sir! As Bethesda would say, its a feature, not a design flaw!
lol

“It just works”
perfect!!
installed a PA system, but forgot the telephone for staff communications, so they lumped the two together.
genius cost-saving idea
cant believe this was 11 years ago! i remember watching this on the day it aired!
it sounds like they used the counter strike overpass train sound effect at around 1:11 and 5:29
I feel so bad for the guy in the scum class ;(
and the railway express editer he got shit on his face ayylmao
still better there than in jeremys train
Haha yeah
So true
Gwarma {GFX And Editor Artist} so do I
Someone watched waaaaaay too much thomas and friends as a kid.
Me but when I was a kid it was called Shining Time Station.🚂
That's a different show entirely.
Yup.
Of course
lol
I love how James is excited like it’s never been done before. Yet almost all US railroad vehicles (work trucks of various types) come standard with hi rail gear
That's what I thought. They can pull up the rail wheels and drive off.
That was a Scrapheap Challenge episode, too. I say "Scrapheap Challenge" because Junkyard Wars did a train episode, too, but the UK show had the teams build one that could drive on and off of rails to race on the road, too.
I could watch these episodes over and over 😂😂 there chemistry is comedy gold
When he dropped the food , I died laughing
7:05 Jesus christ I thought they hit something
Imagine that's why they replaced the original characters.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:32 Hammond got ashamed. lol. he dropped the dish

Thr humor in these Top Gear videos is absolutely ASTONISHING
A carriage of plenty!🤣. I hope they are not planning a sleeper version.

*They have a new show called The Grand Tour, its on Prime, already second season coming out*
The new Top Gear is doomed without these three.
+DowellForPASenate
Well, the thing about top gear is that while it advertised itself as a motoring show, but it was really about three blokes being just plain dicks to each other. Maybe the show might recover, but only as long as they can new guys really can keep it up. In any case, there's always stig to fall back on.
+Sean Higgins andd it sucks
you=correct top gear is gone without Jeremy because the other two just said we want Jeremy back
then watch the grand tour

It’s track legal
Is this legal

Where we're going we dont need roads...
"I couldn't get past, due to a railway network design fault." LOL
I once saw a couple of people in a convertible doing this on a railroad in NW Montana, USA, near Glacier National Park. I have no idea how they got clearance from the railroad to do it, but it was the best thing I’d ever seen.
4:50 this scene of getting faster and faster with a car on train wheels reminded me of one of the last scenes of back to the future 3
God I miss this Top Gear, legendary.
When he came in with the snack tray and he hit the door and it just all fell off the train had me in stitches
The face expression on the Editor of Railway Express Magazine in Clarkson's train when another train went by was so so funny.
1:53 Actually, the driver only makes the ”next stop” announcements, while the steward makes the destination announcements and greets the passengers.😂
That's just the "pilot" habits that James May is accustomed to (He has a pilot's license, so the habit does not die).
3:23 i broke down allready when hampster lost the food... xD
It genuinely breaks my heart to see the slow deteriation on that train. I wanted so bad to see it succeed
2:43 ........ You don't need a handle when you are driving a car on train tracks.
I died when he dropped that plate LMAO!
This has to be one of the best "meant for failure from the beginning" plans they're ever thought up. Priceless.
actual train speeding towards them: "let me introduce myself"
I love how excited May is about driving on the railway
I love how he dropped an entire plate of cheese onto the line
I was little sad when James and Richard lost, their train was marvelous but Jeremy used his typical "Speed and Power!" very successfully. Superb intercom:"Jaaameees, Jaaameees!"
Thanks for ruining it, jackass
Thanks for saving me 10 mins of my life.
Love the camper train! Why doesn't AMTRAK do a version of this?
This is the first time I saw the trio, soon enough I fell in love with Top Gear and The Grand Tour. Great content chaps, shame that you had to leave the BBC though.
"The man on the left is just a man"
Clarkson is the best :)
