Yes, I still have a working (but very rudimentary) N-Scale layout in my office. But, I haven’t used it in years.

These days I am getting rid of my toys — & I mean my REAL TOYS — since none of the kids have an interest in them.

So, I can’t justify buying any new kit. But, I would love to cradle this baby in my hand.

It is beautiful. {Do you get the feeling I like trains. You are NOT wrong.}

Plus, I have a N-scale 4-8-8-4 ‘Big Boy‘. I used to have 2. I sold one a couple of years ago.

I just wanted to share this with you. ENJOY.

Frame grab from YouTube video BELOW.
Plenty more YouTube videos. Check them out. I have watched about 4!

I have a thing about the ‘Big Boy‘ — special place in my heart. Lucky enough to have seen the one on display, i.e., ‘UP 4012‘ at ‘Steamtown USA‘. Maybe, with luck, I still might get a chance to see one working.

YouTube knows my penchant for the ‘Big Boy’. So, ‘Big Boy’ video recommendations are frequently displayed on my ‘Recommended’ list. I happened to see the heading about it HELPING a stalled freight train. Had to investigate. Had a look. It was cool. Yes, I FastForwarded over the boring bits & just watched the action. It was good. I then searched for more & watched a few others.

Wanted to SHARE this with YOU — in case YOU, like I, like trains. I feel bad for those that don’t. Must be something wrong with them.

IF you like trains, especially STEAM, check these videos out. You will NOT be dissapointed. Most of them are fairly well ‘produced’.

Recent, i.e., from this week, videos on YouTube.
I got this kit as a birthday present for my 31-year old son.

YouTube had one of the above ‘Big Boy’ videos as a recommendation for I last night. YouTube has me totally pegged. They know exactly what I will click-on. Yes, I clicked on it. I actually watched two videos. That is why I wanted to share them with YOU. Enjoy.
