Big Model Trains Take Over The House For This Model Train Video

My house does not always have model trains all over the floor like this... but today it does! The trains get set up in to a big train layout like this for a few days at a time when I'm making model train videos.

In this new Jim Zim model train video you get a look at thousands of dollars worth of G-scale trains running on a layout throughout the inside of my house. Normally my wife prefers that I set up the trains outside, but she was going to be away for several hours... so it seemed like a good time to do an indoor layout for a change.

This video mainly focuses on a model of a BNSF freight train. It's one of my favorite model trains because I see the real thing running on the railroad tracks here in my town quite often. The model locomotive was made by MTH Trains, and most of the rail cars were made by LGB.

Also seen in the video is the Coca Cola steam train... running on a short loop through our bedroom. This train is a real collectors item! LGB hasn't made these in quite a few years and even if you wanted to buy one, they're just simply not for sale any longer.

An Amtrak passenger train made by MTH Trains is also seen in the video... running on a small loop around our living room.

Several other model trains from Piko and LGB are also on the layout, but don't get much screen time in this model train video.

Mine are relegated to the attic and the garden! Haven’t been able to run in the apartment since the temporary entertrainment layout after moving in last summer. 😆

OMG YESSSS a model train video. Your the best

It's so enjoyable playing with model trains. But nothing beats riding behind a real steam engine. I loved your Day Out With Thomas video very much. I hope you've been inspired to go out, and ride along a real railway more often. If you get the chance, try asking the Driver of a real steam engine if you can snatch a moment on the footplate. There's nothing more thrilling than spending a moment in the cab of a real steam engine, and asking questions, believe me.😂

I strongly believe that you should create a permanent garden railroad. You have lots of space available in your back yard and a garden railroad would be amazing! Just imagine trains running while snowing. Fantastic! Think about it. 🙂

Hello,
I immediately thought [19.5 years after I watched Thomas the Tank Engine devotedly] (soft spot for the show) that I would get started on model railroading! I love many of your videos, and it is a blessing to get away from brands normally geared towards children! Have a great day!

I love it when your home has trains all over the floor.

Awesome work Jim! Love your videos 😅👍🫡

2 best things in the video are the trains and the dog

[danzimmerlin]

I think you have achieved perfection in your model train videos. I love the the sublime cruising sections, with the variety of tracks and neighboring trains. And then the excitement of the track level views of speeding along and passing other trains. The surprise ending was great, but obviously not something repeatable.

This video focuses on the BNSF EMD SD70ACE AH diesel locomotive #9370 from MTH Electric Trains pulling two different BNSF boxcars, the ATSF boxcar, the B&O covered hopper freight car and the slightly different ATSF caboose at the end!

Oh no!

The GoPro camera is mounted on the left side of the slightly different ATSF caboose is about to hit the Amtrak passenger train lead by a General Electric Dash 8-40CW diesel locomotive #500 from MTH Electric Trains!

OH!

Ooh, I hate it when that happens all the time!
