Streamliners Segment from I Love Toy Trains
Ойын-сауық
The railroads had transportation to themselves for years, but in the 30s, both airlines and cars began to challenge travel-by-trains, giving the traveler options. So the railroads countered with exciting new designs that made their old steamers look like futuristic rocket ships. It worked, rail passenger service stayed strong as people loved to ride on fancy, modern-looking trains like the El Capitan, Empire State Express, the SP's Daylight, Henry Dreyfuss' Hudson, and Otto Kuhler's Hiawatha. The toy train companies got in the act and made attractive models of just about all the famous streamliners. Most of the streamliners in this segment are MTH's RailKing models.

The only problem with this series is that as a child you would want to buy these toy trains, and you would be rejected by your parents because of how expensive they are.

And the other problem is that when you become a adult the toy trains you wanted as a kid are next to impossible to find for a good price

I would look to railking, and Williams pieces, most of the streamlines go for under $300

Man so much nostalgia. I used to have the entire series. I should probably get a hold of another set at some point.

Aside from “Oh, No!” I found the whole set (parts 1-13) on amazon for under $100. Less if you get parts 1-6 and 7-12 instead of 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12

Same for me
I have all the discs and I recomend this for young model railroaders because plenty of people grew up with this including me.
Here are some of my memories from this segment...first it was primarily shot on a layout featuring Atlas 21st Century Track. We made the video for Atlas on their new track and kept the layout intact afterwards. The tinplate catenary system was made by PJ Fusco, and it worked as you saw in ILTT 5. Just about all the trains were MTH RailKing. The SP Daylight was the only scale train. There's a couple shots where we're trying blue screen keyed out to slip in artistic backgrounds. That color position signal at the end was made by Right-of-Way. Traffic signal I believe is Life-Like. The grain elevator kit is Lionel. Just about everything else looks like it's MTH, even the reproductions of the Lionel 47 gates. As you can see we love to show smoke pouring out of steam locomotives. Never gets old. The locomotives were really well-built and great looking models. They were a big deal for the intermediate range of the hobby. They weren't scale, but they still had nice detailing, diecast tenders, open spoked drivers, and good sounds with the automatic passenger station operation sequence. We grabbed every one that was available to make this segment. And everything came together at the end with another great James Coffey song.
This segment inspired my love for the Dreyfuss Hudson and the Commodore Vanderbilt.
Oh man it’s all coming back to me, I definitely remember this episode. This really takes me back
The 4449 Daylight still exist
This was one of the two parts that introduced me to the New York Central. To this day, the New York Central song and the NYC models are my most vivid memories from watching these as a kid.
Remember that one scene where they made that roundhouse overflow with steam? I wanted to that for 6 years.
my god, the nostalgia
Daylight 4449 my favorite!!!!!!
Daylight is my favorite steam locomotive of all time.

4449 and Dreyfus Hudson❤❤❤🚂
I miss watching the videos from TM. I wish they would produce more videos.
Ahh memories
I love the hudson
In the song when it said. Daylight you should’ve put a ham in the video
Always one of my most favorite bits from the series. I particularly loved the Empire State Express and 49er as a kid. MTH did a really nice job on all these engines. Hope you upload the Lionel Hudson’s/Legends of the Rails bit from part 9 one day.

Cool
The only thing I don’t like is that when James Coffey says “The Hudson, The Daylight, and The Burlington Zephyr,” it shows the New York Central trains. Everything else it perfect 👌
The streamlined NYC Hudson locomotive looks like Connor from Thomas & Friends.
my favror train is the train ( i like all of them xD )
4449 is the survivor
My favorite streamliner is the Santa Fe Blue Goose
I hope you Upload The Grand Canyon Railway from Part 7 as well.

Did you know the coast daylight actually started in 1937 with the introduction of the GS-2 and GS-3 but the locomotive in the film was built in the 1940s as it is a GS-4 which were started being built in early 1941
4449 is still around today
From part 7 1999.
That union pacific steam engine it’s good but the coaches look like the Hiawatha’s

All of these Streamliners in this Video was scrapped Irl (except 4449) which is very sad
Any American streamlined steam engine is either Extinct, under construction, a 4-8-4, or a C&O Hudson.
