OUR TOP 10 FASTEST MODEL RAILWAY / RAILROAD TRAINS

Thats briliant..layout looks amazing

Number three..amazing...brilliant..

Blimey!

Hi Mike.

Very interesting indeed.

As for the formula for working out the speed, did you use a stopwatch between 2 points then divide '414.414' by the amount of seconds the train took between those points?

Incidentally, to ascertain the actual maximum speed of each loco, you should have run them without any rolling stock attached!

Ciao,

Paul. 👍❤

so the pacer is noisy, like it's real life version

Number 3.. what a survivor!

OMD - LOL Brilliant 😂 - Imagine the Passengers Faces on a Pacer doing 120mph 🤣🤣🤣Keepin it Real - Thanks Guys 🙌🏻💫🙌🏻

A great comparision video: Always great to see the Javelin, I often see them tearing alongside the M20, when I'm driving. I have a Lima 125 which stepped up a pace when I gave it a CD motor conversion 👍

Hello,that was a different video,I do like the modern locos and steam ones to go round the track at a time.some quick ones amongst them.

That was a fun little experiment, had some surprising results as well.

considering that the pacer was actually developed from a BR high-speed freight vehicle it wouldn't be surprised if someone could rig one up to hit 120.

i clocked a old hornby class 91 at 186mph it was the fastest i had

Great change for a video....loved it...

would be interesting to show some more modifications to bring the models to irl scale speed.

my fastest steam locomotive was a bachmann hall that got to 140mph scale speed and my hornby railways Castle was second at 133mph

Fun little video, love seeing the 3in1 oil Class 06 and the Lima Plymouth, very funny to see that legend of the channel running around at nearly 200mph when in real life it was probably some slow chunky chain driven engine.

You Class 06 is like Top Gear's Toyota pick up truck, it's been beaten to hell but still keeps chugging along!!

Great fun Mike, i love the 'oil soaked wonder' still smashing it after apparently being ruined!

Great fun. I'm sure glad the real pacers didn't run at that speed- (sometimes hard to stay in your seat at 50mph on those things). I think my Jouef/Playcraft North British 0-4-0 diesel may give the winner a bit of competition though I have my doubts if it could pull 3 coaches - I shall find out tomorrow.

The newer Hornby have Scalextric mote in them. Good video

How many came of track why filming.

Brilliant video.

Excellent video!

Says a lot for your tracklaying Mike, Doug. Any take-outs of crashes or derailments or did the runs just go well? Cheers!

Great fun. That Lima shunter is one of my favourite locos, beautifully moulded and a good runner. Usually called freelance but it's a pretty accurate representation of a Plymouth from the USA. A deserved but strangely inappropriate winner. How about a video showing various locos pulling trains at their correct scale speeds. It will be a revelation to many modellers. Great video.

Layout is looking good

Love the video - great to see something a bit different. I have an Oxford Rail J27 - in its instructions, it genuinely says to use 3 In 1 oil. Nothing wrong with the stuff!

Great fun video, thanks for posting 👍🏻

Pacers were bad enough at 32 mph - I dread to think what they were like at four times that spped! 😊

A real pacer at that speed would either give passengers extreme sea sickness or injury from all the bouncing around.

Awesome fun experiment.

That coronation looks juicyyy

Imagine 132 mph in the Pacer 😅 the windows would shake out the frames I’m sure 😂❤

Thanks for the fun video, some amazing speeds there and awesome locomotives!!😎🚂🚃🚃🚃🇬🇧

what i found hilarious was that you had a pacer going faster then 60 mph! if only they could go that fast in real life they probably still be as hated but boy it be one hell of a fun ride if a little scary!

Very good, thank-you! Well done! I much prefer slow!

A shame to see the HST down the bottom of the chart, and not quite making it's name's scale speed ! Great video (have you tried a hornby pendolino ? I've had them flying on my layout years ago 🙂

jokes aside u can add 775 dc motor it will fly

I have a Mobil1-0w20-bathed, cast potmetal, 1952 unmodified O-gage Lionel 1614 Switcher (Scout 0-4-0) that will do the scale speed of sound...in a straight line and will become airborne if not careful, albeit with no tender or train attached.
