*"It was time for Thomas to leave, He had seen everything."*

All I have to say is: This railway has a suspiciously high pyrotechnics budget, and an alarmingly low safety rating.

Bravo and hats off to the driver - who never left his post, arm resting casually on the window ledge...

Let's all say it together "luckily no one was hurt"

That is one dedicated engineer. Not even a single flinch during entire ordeal keeping his post perfectly.

*Tragedy struck on August 4th 1934 at 10:32 AM when a 4-6-0 steamer and her coaches were caught in a landslide. Luckily it was the construction of the passenger cars that prevented a serious disaster, for all 90 passengers survived the disaster and the only two casualties being the driver and fireman. Local fire departments rushed to the scene to find the engine and tender buried under the soil, with only a tip of the smoke stack visible. Fire crews warned the passengers and onlookers to get back, as a boiler explosion was imminent as the engine and tender had separated and the condition of the cab was unknown. At **11:21** the boiler of the engine exploded. Railroad personnel and local authorities are investigating the scene.*

I'm of two minds here: I want to like because of the time and effort that clearly went into making this production, but I also want to dislike for the destruction of what I'm sure is a beautiful and a fairly expensive model train.

if these were professionally painted, i might actually have a difficult time knowing if it was a model! your filming is super cool, makes it look completely scale

6:40 Blue smoke is usually indicative of a problem with diesels, but I don’t know what to make of this

He Said " No Quality Model Trains were Hurt" Exploded Model Train Locomotive: im i a joke to you?

Looks like the engineer stayed at his post! That’s dedication! Cheers Doc

I was kind of relating this to The Adams Family when Gomez and Puggsly would be playing with the trains using Dynamite .

This is bringing back some memories of back to the future part three

Fate must really hate that engine in particular...

This king has uploaded

Such high quality production. Great video!

Okay, the purple smoke from the stack was the first sign they were using non-approved fuel. Second sign: that weird welding shop. What the hell are all those non RR components, (not to mention that visible rubber tire) ??? What is that mechanic smoking??? Non union ??? BTW, the least they could have done is to pull the side rods off that wretched steam engine before the diesel pushed it into the roundhouse, WTH ??? !!! Lastly, why do we G-Scalers like to bully and torment our poor, suffering, Bachman 4-6-0 engines ??? LOL !!! BTW: excellent camera angles, story line, and sense of humor! - David. DWP&P G-Scale RR. :-)

I’d be suprised if that engine still ran after that

The land slid crash felt realistic.

Wow, that’s a lot of damage

Finally after 7 half life games he’s back

holy crap batman. you did some great video and editing on this video, ] and the boiler blowing up ,, well to the extreme awesome there

Lucky no one was hurt.

I'm a 34 year old man and I can't believe the joy I get watching this.

I would say rest in piece but we all know this engine can’t do that

The ballast work for this track is immaculately done.

The hell was up with the smoke after the repairing footage

There's nothing more beautiful than the sound of the whistle and the rhythm of the tracks.

Luckily no one was hurt except for the engine, millions of passengers and crew who probably all died, killed and destroyed from the Boulder, rock slide and the explosion of the crash.

Recover the bell and use it as a decoration

Now tell us how you really feel about the Bachmann 10 wheeler's with plastic drivers.!

The landslide is particularly well done. (Pity about the model, I assume you didn't like it? ) Many years ago, following a similar, but real fatal wreck in Wales, the GWR actually created a model of the line and ran a train into the slip, to find out how the incident had occurred - did the train run into a pre existing rock fall, or did the rocks come down on the train? Prototype for everything on a model department.

9:27 almost looks like a old movie scene!

R. i .P to steam locomotive 9670

Welp, that old girl's had it, huh?

Damn, that explosion scene at the end looked pretty realistic when there wasn't anything else to show the scale

I appreciate the amount of effort that went into making this but I have to ask why the engine was carrying explosives? A 'plain' boiler explosion has no fire or secondary detonations. That must be some solid coal they are burning!

At 10:15 or so, I felt like pugsley watching on as Gomez decided to blowup his train. Sadly, the engineer was "frozen" from fright, still in the window of the cab, presumably only temporarily paralyzed. My guess is the soils engineers were likely sued for lack of due dilligence in their choice of backfill in the right-of-way, as well as many other disregard of safety regulations. Hope the rebuild isn't prohibitively expensive!!

You are truly the Gomez Adams of trains.

First explosion ok Mini explosion My brain : AIRSTRIKE INCOMING

Always excited for a new upload man.

The Engineer is still at the helm. I would think a raise in salary is warranted here.

There's a note of reality to this that I quite enjoy. After the locomotive is on it's side, the water isnt actually hitting the boiler, leading to an explosion as the temperature just grows and grows.

Wow, what a great simulation landslide followed by bolier explosion, great preparation work and nice video capturing!

I found your channel looking for videos for my young son to watch, but your channel is so entertaining that I'm hooked just as bad as my 3 year old 😄 Just wanted to let you know that your videos are appealing across different generations ❤ Lol, my 7 year old girls watching now too haha. Great work! Sending high fives from your newest subs in Australia 😄

Amazing i love steam train and amazing view

Wow! Casey still at the throttle. (I'd have jumped.) Great piece of film. Thanks.

Morbid as it is; i want to see footage of an ACTUAL steam locomotive suffering death via boiler explosion. I've always been curious about it since Thomas had that incident with the fish in his boiler.

I guess this is what happens when you dont fill it with concrete and run it on compressed air

I would think that a lot of planning and a lot of work went into making this clip Well done!

It's means it will be a ghost train

The landslide scene looked so real Fantastic!!!

HA HA HA HA... LOVED IT!!! So life-like!!

Do you have a spare PRR ten wheeler

An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

If you want to see the crash skip to this part 8:08 and if you want to see the explosion skip to this part 9:25.

The resulting fire and smoke could be seen from 25 feet away...

On first thought l thought why did you destroy an expensive g scale loco? But then after a quick google search I found out this bachmann loco is realy cheap and the the newquida wagons aren't expensive either. So i hope im not wrong. But it still hurts me a bit seing this impressive destruction!

The fence in background gave it away but u had me too lol

KZfaq's "most replayed" feature works 😂

What's going to replace the steam engine for the time being?

Looks like this engine is going on the scrap heap

Gomez,Lurch and the entire family approve !!!

I think this might be the best thing on KZfaq, and I’m not even a train person!!!!!!!

Quality as always

That blowed up real good!

Unluckily, everyone was hurt and the railroad had to declare bankruptcy due to the number of lawsuits following the events of this crash.

YA FOOLOLED ME!!! From the preview pic i thought this was real. Seriously, What a mnodel set up you have. I had some of this when i was much younger & I wish my set up was 1/2 as good.

Nice explosion add that to the scrap yard with all the other ones that got blown up and burnt beyond repair new video idea at 7:37 put a bridge there and make a landslide only using 2 pieces of TNT more realistic the better the outcome of it or weaken the tracks whatever you prefer just an idea tho

Interesting, very nice video indeed. Would love to know how you exactly managed to pull this off.

Absolutely fantastic job this video was put together really well.

The most American model train video on KZfaq....

Cool

B o o m

Fantastic video .Like it very much.

The locomotive: Blown up into pieces A fat director: best i can do is new paint

First good to see you back. :)

WAT tha f*k*

Great video. When I heard the song starting I swore it was like me watching the movie "The Runaway Trian"

James: bad news! Thomas: what? James: the steam locomotive crashed. Thomas: oh no,anyway

That was awesome! I love the imagination that goes into your videos!

Yay he has returned!

Utterly horrific! Oh, the absolute carnage and yet the unfitting music makes it all the more harrowing and tragic...! Surely people would have gotten seriously injured or maybe even killed in the crash including the locomotive's crew! A thorough investigation should be made into this...unless there were two possiblities; one being there were rival railroad firms who bribed employees into sabotage or the other being that there was in financial trouble and maybe it is most likely that the chairman would possibly have something to do with the ongoing incidents.

Lets see that shop fix it this time!!! 😁 Your a nut ya know🤪 Keep up the funny vids. A fan from Lancaster, PA

I would like to compliment you-the video speed was perfect for the mountain collapse, looked so real, CG enginners could learn from that! :)

Train go boom.

Now Percy has learned his lesson too he chuckled to himself

That Bossy Boiler caused such confusion and delay! 🎩

I wonder if the ground giving way was deliberate or an accident?

George Carlin: Luckily, no one was hurt.

Those passenger cars (HSB) are from Germany - It's called "Harzer Schmalspurbahn" (Harz is a mountain region in the middle of Germany and this train is running up the mountain "Brocken") - In January 2019 it's been stuck in the snow twice...

Gomez Adams would be PROUD!!!!

Well that one's a gonner

I had a dream that looks extremely similar to what happens near the end of this video. The cliff wall collapse and all. Except there was a vast jungle or something where the train fell, and much further down.

8:12 rest in peace little train 😔😭🕊

Wauw. Heel mooi in scene gezet. Mijn complimenten.

Makes me want to watch “back to the future part:3” again

"Think you used enough dynamite there Butch?"

How to break you steam model train you work so hard on for it. Step 1:

Reminded me of the truck in Duel going over the cliff.
