I've never been more jealous of a backyard in my life

Man im gavin’s age and i like model trains too so he is bery lucky to have a nice neighbor like you

You're Lucky to have that backyard!!! That is a perfect playground for this hobby.

Great to see the local kids involved!

Another a great vid Jim! (if you see this hi Gavin!!!)

I love this layout and "Dead Mans Curve", love that name.

Looking great Jim! Glad you have a new friend and some help with setting up the trains. Your yard is looking great! That is a lot of work!

I love his Narration

You and your trains are awesome! I love watching all your videos and every time, it feels like you are taking us on a journey.

This is beautiful

It's nice you have a "little friend" come and help w/the laying of the track work for the trains. Gavin will be like Dennis the Menace, always coming over to see how much fun he can have playing with you & the trains. Lol!! And what a bargain "free rocks" the correct size & right in your yard.

Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

I am a huge fan of ya! Gavin is doing a great job running those trains! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome layout and collection. Nice to see him having a lot of fun, important to get a new LGB generation grown

Nice steady shots from your drone! 👍🏼

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!

Wow you have a nice out door lay our. I really like your selection of steam engines.

Jim zim it looks like you're trains are having a party. :) lol.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!

I wish I had a friends that likes trains like me, then we can work on a huge G Gauge layout outside too.

Wow that's great! Great job making two separate tracks now the trains will go in opposite direction's.

You read my mind! The animal sounds are on!

That's amazing

Great video i love model trains

very nice more to see thanking you ,

Look at all the trains going by!

Toby ended up being a banker. If Emily had caught up with Toby from behind, then it would have been a better double-header. A double-header is formed when two steamies or diesels are coupled together in front of a passenger or heavy goods train. Toby is a bit faster than Emily, so Emily should have caught up from behind. Take the tip of Sam's Trains: when you decide to have two engines hauling a train double-header fashion, keep the slowest engine at the back. If you watch his old Thomas Story, James' Accident, you'll see what I'm talking about. If the two engines are of the same speed, it doesn't matter which gets the back seat, if you'll pardon the term here. As I say, if one steamy is faster than the other, the slower one has to be at the back, otherwise derailments will occur. Have lots of steamy fun.

Lucky Gavin... I'm so jealous... Menikmati masa tua seperti Jim adalah impianku... Hahahaha Lucky Jim very lucky... Sehat terus dan panjang umur Jim GBU

What a vast backyard, Jim. It makes the G scale trains look smaller than they are, but you can do so much with that blank slate. Someone, possibly Gavin, left a container door open on the last train, either that or Hobo Shoestring is catching a ride. Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

Great video Jim :)

another great video

Note to self: buy an half acre plot of land

You are not going to have a permanent fish pond to your yard because it will have too much algae and that will be extremely dangerous for the American Cocker Spaniel dog, Carli! And you are also not ready to get a Union Pacific locomotive yet for a while until you are ready to get a Union Pacific Big Boy steam locomotive and/or a Union Pacific diesel locomotive from Bachmann! As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim and I love your collection of G scale model trains, the seven different cruise lines where you cruised on the cruise ships and also the American Cocker Spaniel dog, Carli!

Legend

That's nice double track layout. Nice improvement in video. You should put up a model train layout to run along the ceiling wall as well.

Thank you for entertaining people like me even though I am in my early 60s but I still have plenty of child in me.

I love the Coca Cola train the best!

I’ve never been more jealous of a backyard in my life

2:48 who noticed a cameo of the 0-4-0? 6:07, 7:46, 7:14, 8:22 who noticed James the red engine?

Nice content . You have a great voice over, similar to Mister Rodgers and I write that with respect to the neighbor Mister Rodgers . It's convienent to be a kid at retirement age. Thus we can afford the (kid, inside with adult ) toys of G-scale trains . Cheers 11/27/2021

JIM, THX FOR YOUR QUICK REPLY! WE PARTICULARLY 'LOVE' CELEBRITY BECAUSE OF THE 'HIGH QUALITY' OF IT'S ONBOARD SERVICE, THE FOOD, AND DINING OPTIONS. WE 'ALWAYS' FEEL WE'RE EATING IN A 5 STAR RESTAURANT IN NYC. THE FOOD IS NOT FOO-FOO...ALWAYS (EMPHASIZE) 'TOP END'. WE ENJOY RCCL VERY MUCH ALSO, AND HAVE SAILED ON THE QUANTAM, THE ALLURE OF THE SEAS, AND HARMONY OF THE SEAS. IF YOU TRY THE EDGE OR THE (new)APEX...YOU WILL BE AMAZED!! ANYWAY, YOU ARE DOING A WONDER-FULL JOB PROVIDING US GREAT ENTERTAINMENT ON KZfaq!!

I like model trains too but I like it

Your line is perfect for live steam other than mine with is 10* camber and 1 in 12 grade (8%) and my little accucraft 0-4-2 struggles with one coach.

Great vid Jim! Just out of curiosity; Do you participate it annual model train events like at Christmas time. I live in SC County in CA and participate each year in a Christmas train layout.

1:10 "no one has died, yet" not again

Jim you got that yard........toot toot

Okay that’s it I’m officially moving there!

I noticed you have A RR crossing sign. All you need now is one with lights and gates!

gavin is lucky to live near you :)

You should do a video where 2 trains race each other around the circuit. Each train that wins gets to compete agents the next runner up and then into the final race with the 2 remaining trains. Actually that would make for another Great Model Train Race video. On another note, an idea for dead mans curve. Go on eBay and buy yourself an old beater Bachmann Big Hauler locomotive that's only good for parts and have it laying down over the edge of the walkway as if it crashed and was left there. All the crew perished in the accident and it is their final resting place. It would not only give the curves name a purpose, but would add some background scenery as well. The big advantage is those models can be picked up for dirt cheap even in running condition.

I like trains to

I live in Canada and it's pretty cold here in the winter.

You should do train racing since you have two tracks parallel!

70°! Out here in auburn it's 41°

he should do the hi emily thing in his backyard

Fantastic! As you have a incredibly huge backyard, will you add some stuff like a shunting or a narrow gauge railway or something like that? Not saying you have to do that, just asking if you will take advantage of having this amazing backyard. If you do, just as a idea, you could replicate something they did in Germany: transporting standard gauge waggons on narrow gauge waggons (LGB makes those waggons). So that's a idea, but if you don't want to change it if you don't want to :)

hi my mr jim zim my name is Daniel and im a huge fan of you and i love model trains

Are you going to get a snow plow for one of your trains during winter, enjoy

you are slightly incorrect on terminology in regards to Toby. If he was directly behind Emily and in front of the two passenger cars, he would've made a doubleheader with Emily. But at the end of the train, Toby has become a rear end Helper Engine to push from the back. On some longer freight trains on freight railroads, there are even helper engines in the middle of the train

I see you got a model of White Pass & Yukon Caboose 903, We have the real one in the collection on the Midwest Central Railroad in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

I hope Gavin realises how lucky he is!!! You’re the perfect neighbour!!! So, will there be a station in this new yard?

9:28 The santa fe steam engine's leading wheels are off the track.

I’m doing the same thing running trains outside

Wow

You know Emily is based on the GNR Stirling Single it’s an old design but for their time they were used as express engines so it’s appropriate to make Emily run fast.

I like Your vidios

😍😍😍❤❤❤👍👍👍

I like your layout FYI you should check out Charles Ro They have a little better shipping cost than Trainworld and they sell USA Trains too. I shop at both They are fair in price

9:23 Woops. Pony truck derailed.

Y’all should get some oil inexpensive cheap g-scale track to imbed in the cement, so you never have to set up & tear down the track ever again.

at 9:00 did you notice that one of the wheels was derailed on the white pass locomotive?

Are you planning on cruising again in the future! What brand did you chose for your hot tub?

1:10 is that a unstoppable reference?

HOW DO YOU POWER THAT MUCH TRACK???

これは素晴らしい。

Do you have any videos of your power supplies

HI YA JIM!! WE'RE NEW SUBSCRIBERS...AND WE LOVE YOUR VLOGS SOOO MUCH!! YOU HAVE AMAZING CONTENT AND CAMERA!! WE HAVE A SONY BRAVA 75" HD/4K TV AND WE FEEL LIKE YOU'RE RIGHT HERE WITH US. DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE AN 85" TV? DO YOU FIND IT A BIT TOO BIG THOUGH? THE CLARITY AND COLORS ARE SO BRILLIANT...AND WE ALSO HAVE A DUAL RECLINER COUCH WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES...SO, IT'S JUST LIKE BEING IN THEATER...IF NOT BETTER, ACTUALLY!! ANOTHER THING WE HAVE IN COMMON, WE LOVE CRUISING ALTHOUGH WE'RE DEDICATED TO CELEBRITY/RCCL. HOPEFULLY WE'LL ALL BE BACK ONBOARD AGAIN (SOMETIME) IN 2021. HAVE YOU AND YOUR WIFE EVER DONE A 15 DAY EUROPEAN VIKING RIVER CRUISE? LASTLY, WE DON'T BELEIVE IN 'TWOFACE' /FACEBOOK...SO WE HOPE WE DON'T MISS OUT ON ANY OF YOUR CONTENT. THX FOR YOUR GREAT UPLOADS...MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Ok. So you enjoy the hot tub better. Ok. After all this is Washington State. I’m all the way in Florida. The sunshine state. I have a pool and a hot tub. And I love it. And my pool deck has enough room for larger scale trains.

In this video, we introduce Jim Zim's new Washington neighbor, Gavin, who helps him set up the G scale model trains to run on the layout. Gavin controls the G scale model trains from a tablet and you, Jim Zim, fly the DJI Mavic Mini drone and shoot video of the G scale model trains running on the layout in the backyard of the house in Washington. We see three G scale model trains from Bachmann, two trains from LGB, and two trains from Piko on the layout on both sets of tracks that wrap around the lawn. That makes a total of seven G scale model trains running on two sets of tracks and being powered by both analog and Digital Command Control or for short, DCC. James the Really Super Splendid #5 Red Tender Engine pulling the goods train as well as Toby the #7 Brown Steam Tram Engine both of them had snuck up behind Emily and the Jim Zim passenger coaches and they both latch on to make double headers. And if Toby and James have both snuck up behind Emily and the Jim Zim passenger coaches and are latched on together at the same time, they will make a triple header, pushing and pulling 2 trains at once to make one mixed train. And also Gavin lined up 4 trains in a row: the Christmas Coca Cola train #1 and the black Euro-German Porter #3 both made by LGB, and also two Piko brand G scale model trains pulling 2 goods trains. One of the 2 Piko brand G scale model trains is the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe steam locomotive #707, and the other is the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway Steam locomotive #52. And we also hear the sounds of animals being transported on the layout from the yellow livestock boxcar from the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway freight train. This is Thomas Comeau, signing off for today, and as always, Happy New Year's Eve, Jim Zim!

Ok I know this so late 😂. But is any one question the caboose is backwards on 2:41
