It's MTE's own version of "The Island Of Misfit Toys"!

Finally, a channel that showcases the wonderful world of all the cheapo, weird, one-off, and sometimes surprisingly rare toy trains out there. I've got probably as many cheapo battery powered trains as I do scale models and collectible toy trains. New Bright, Scientific Toys, Toystate, New Ray, and some more obscure ones. I like to kitbash, repaint, and weather them to make them into more respectable looking trains.

3:11 I think I might have solved the mystery of why that Santa Fe train set is hideously long. Proportion wise, that intercity train doesn’t look too unusual. What I believe is that the company was lazy, and reused the intercity train chassis, but changed the shells.

I had the full Santa Fe set with a figure-8 track when I was younger, and I must say that I thought it was the coolest thing 😂😂 Kinda mind-blowing to see that there were so many other variants

He’s back.

It is amazing how detailed the toys that were coming from China were in the late nineties, early 2000s and how inexpensive they were at the time. Nice toys stores at that time had beautifully detailed battery operated and mechanical tin toys in the ten to twenty five dollar range. It was it little, late, golden age of tin lithography.

I would totally suggest a puff puff loco in the future. My grandma got me once as a kid and it drove my mom nuts. And she eventually got rid of it.. Knowing grandma, it probably was done on purpose. Lol but I love those and would like to get another one someday.

Why is this my whole childhood in one video?

I had two Peterkin technic 9 sets as a kid, the Intercity was my first & I got the Narita later on. Curiously in that picture of the back of the box, a random 00 gauge Hornby LNER J83 in the lineup lol, tension lock couplings & all

You should try out the maisto on track trains.

You should check out the Hallmark Lionel Great American Railways series. It's a series of limited edition diecast metal locomotives that come with their own display case, and they have lots of detail, including moving wheels and side rods.

New Ray also made some HO Scale trains (trains were mainly based on European designs with a few American ones like the UP GP38-2 and a tenderless 4-4-0 American type

7:05 in this scene you can see the cab of the gp40 is not accurate to the real things as it looks like a old high speed train

Oh I have this sp train that's about the size of a set of Hallmark ornaments only they're all plastic, better detailed and the bogeys don't turn

Nice collection all the same

Do a video About trains from family dollar and dollar general and Walmart

6:52 Yoooo!!! I just got that set 3 days ago in Target!! What a coincidence!

I have the Lionel N-scale General which came as a pack-in with the Lionel Trans-Con CD-ROM game box set. I never got the game to work on my computer at the time but I still have the locomotive.

So there’s a seemingly obscure train toy I had when I was little, and you seem like the type who could help me identify it. I think it was about N scale in size give or take, ran on channel track, and was basically a set that folded up. It had a black steamer, I think a grey or black tender, green hopper car with a little lever that opened a hole on the bottom, and a red caboose. The whole gimmick was that you could unload the hopper through the hole into a special section of track that dumped a fake rock into a bin to be reloaded again. I got it when I was about 3 or 4 sometime around 97-98 at a KB toys. I looked up Carrera and Tecnic 9, and it doesn’t seem to be one of those, Do you know what I’m talking about?

The Midgetoy sets seem to be an evergreen toy train. IIRC the old west train, the steam freight train,the streamliner and the SW type switch engine freight set. Might have been more but those are all I remember. Give you an idea how evergreen I'm 62 years old and can remember running that switcher set on the livingroom carpet while watch Star Trek on NBC as a tiny little sprout. Another one from that era was Lonestar toys had a bunch of die-cast N scale trains. Had a British steam engine probably a 4 6 2, a blue US style boxcar,red offset cupola US style caboose, a European passenger coach and some European looking diesel. They weren't a set but came as individual pieces on a blister card and was limited to what the toy section at the local Ben Franklin had and what grandpa ( always an easy touch for us grandkids)or dad let me get on trips to the Ben Franklin. Apparently Lonestar either had a separate line of actual electric N scale trains or another company produced the floor toy non powered ones I had because in my late teens went to a flea market and saw a box of those same die-cast Lonestar type trains and picked one up to check it out and noticed a bit more heft and brass wheels and clearly a drive train of some sort and track other than the plastic molded rails, ties and roadbed that came with the floor toys

Number 3134 From the Santa Clarita Railroad was surely you identify, The engine was featured in the Movie called “Hijack” was originally a fictional railroad “WestRail” and now apparently make a cameo appearance, though the scene was reversed the number due to rotate wrong. Luckily it was just a surprised that locomotive was appear of Two films. It says was somehow original belong by the former ex-railroad of Rio Grande. As of now? It now’s currently in the Southwestern Railroad where is now as lease in Horizon Rail. Which he? *It’s a miracle that the short-lived cameo star survives!*

Where gp30 toy

I've had that Midgetoy steam set since I was five years old or so.

You forgot the rear DRGW stripes and number was also missing from the engine in the Fast and Furious set

I had shell train one and a zig zag train
