Got a new Track Master set. More fun with Thomas & Friends! This set comes with motorized Percy and a Harold the Helicopter static model that attaches to a track section that moves from one track location to another. A great source of accidents!
We just added our latest addition to our Thomas & Friends HO Scale locomotive collection. We got Iron Bert. He was cheaper than Iron ‘Arry, so we didn’t get that one yet, but will soon. The Diesels do not perform as well as the Steamies on our track. I like the look, but these have been the worst performing Bachmann locomotives (engines) yet. Only a few more to get!
We got our latest Bachmann Thomas & Friends locomotive – Diesel. This is item #58802. It seems to be the poorest performing model we have from Bachmann. Still looks cool though. In the video, if you have good eyes, you get a sneak peek at the next edition to our collection!
Had a contest between the 3 largest of the Thomas & Friends locomotives on my railroad: Spencer, Gordon, and Henry. Each had to pull all of the Sodor freight and passenger cars around the entire layout in the best time. Watch to see who wins.
These world strongest engine contests do take their tolls on the locomotives. We are working on another speed competition that will take place on a test track instead of the Sodor layout. Stay tuned!
This is a first for our HO Scale purchases of Bachmann Thomas & Friends products: Duck’s face was not attached inside the package. We were able to reattach it and the moving eyes work fine now, but not before a couple of funny cross-eyed moments!
The Bahcmann Duck looks great! It was one that many had asked me to get for a while now and after getting it I can understand why so many people like Duck. It is a great model and a neat looking character.
We are getting closer to having the complete Bachmann lineup. Still need Diesel, Donald, Douglas, Oliver,Iron Arry, Iron Bert, Celebration Thomas and Skarloey. Of course, 3 of these have not even been officially released here, but have been announced. We also need to get the rest of the rail cars. Thanks for watching our videos!
We had a race with our various Thomas & Friends locomotives to see which is the fastest. See the video to find the winner. We will do another in the future as some of the locomotives don’t perform as well on the crossings and switch tracks. It was fun doing this and there were a couple of accidents.
A-Team train is working fine despite be 30 years old. We will be applying the stickers and combining it with the A-Team Slot Cars.
The Bachmann Sound Value locomotive was missing parts. The store I bought it from (Bargain Hunt) said I could contact the manufacture and they would send the replacement parts or a new item. I didn’t feel like dealing with the hassle. If it had been a road name that I really like I might have done that.
Hi! Thanks for watching TrainTsarFun on YouTube and for finding this website and blog. I began TrainTsarFun a year ago when I realized I needed a channel to feature train content in addition to LEGO trains. My original channel, jolson37, is getting crowded. That channel will be renamed soon.
So while I knew I would be featuring train content, I wasn’t sure yet where to begin. So my first post was an old video I took at the 2013 NMRA train show of a 100 car freight train (I plan to try this for myself eventually). Thus, my channel had begun. It would not be until recently that I finally got more involved and regular with the content.
So look for more content. My goal is to grow this channel past the level that BrickTsar(my LEGO only channel) is. So we will see if it can be done!
