Toy Trains

THOMAS MINIS #19 to 37

 

We are still looking for the rest of the DC Super Friends minis. Nobody in our area has anything beyond #1-60 plus the expansion or multi packs. We will keep looking

Spider-Man Bachmann Train

 

 

Found this for a pretty good deal on eBay. Has an F7A & B Locomotive with 3 box cars and 6 passenger cars. Not sure why Spider-Man is hauling around is arch-enemies?

RED vs BLUE New Track Master Train Set

The latest track master set with special design. Plus we show some of the rest of our collection including model trains!

Don’t forget about our giveaway that ends in a few days:

Attack of the Clone Annie & Clarabel

Must look closer at auctions on eBay. These are knock off dark side clone trains. The magnets are wrong and Clarabel must face the wrong direction. From China

 

 

HO, O, G Scale Comparison of Thomas, Annie, & Claribel

Now looking for N Scale version of Thomas with Annie & Claribel as well as TrackMaster and any other motorized versions.

G Scale Thomas the Tank Engine Lionel Train Set

This is our 3 Thomas & Friends G Scale set. All 3 are different track. This is the newer Lionel G Scale Track. We also have James with the older style track and Percy with Bachmann track. The couplers can be changed from Knuckle couplers to European style couplers. Would like to set up track outside with these eventually!

Thomas won! But…

So Thomas has won this round of the Great Race and is champion – for now. I honestly thing both Gordon and Henry are the real fastest. I did not realize it until later but the transformers made by Bachmann are acting very inconsistent. Sometimes the engines would not even move! I am going to make a more reliable and fair course. But who wouldn’t be happy that Thomas won!

The Great Race Down to the Final 2!

I did not address it in the video, but we have run into a problem electrically with the Great Race. Gordon and Thomas will be the final 2, but in reality, Henry should have beat Thomas. After experimenting a bit after the race, I found that I had a defective outlet on my power strip. This in turn affected the transformers. So now some do not perform the same even when moved to a good outlet. In fact, at one point it would not even move a locomotive and then would shut off – like there is some kind of short. I did another test and Henry blew past Thomas, but if I switched it, I could get Thomas to beat Henry. The first several races were fine – it only start in Round 3.

I do not think I will address this on YouTube because it might bore the kids. But if anybody thinks I should please let me know. Thanks.

James the BIG Red Engine

We just got the James the Red Engine G Scale or Large Scale train set made by Lionel from 1994! It is a really neat set. From the “Shining Time Station” era of Thomas & Friends. Has moving eyes and swappable faces. Despite its age it performed great! This is our second Large Scale train. The first was made by Bachmann:

Will have to get them out together to compare.
