[GLLCJ]

kid train enthusiast it puffs out..real real smoke wel forget it im only ten years old and my old man taught me about trains since i was born by 2 and a half years old i was able to drive the backyard railroad operate the lionel layout with the zw l transformer and have more then 900 thomas wooden railway toys so i think they should interview me instead of that 5 year old kid i am the real train enthusiast here not him so reply thumbs AND GET THEM A KID WHO KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT MODEL TRAINS

[teletubbybuddy]

I'm going to open a railway with these trains.

[Dinosorable]

@teletubbybuddy That's a great idea! :)

[guitboxchicken]

It would be much cheaper if you used flat bar and placed it in slits in the ties. It may not be as prototypical, but you'd save a ton of money!

[TheSkooter153]

im so jelous! haha

[andyg3]

14k for jsut locoo! jeez

you can buy a proper coal fired REAL steam loco for cheaper than that.

[southern4501isawesom]

@andyg3 but it puffs real real smoke xD

[bohemianh]

very nice, an American enterprise, hpefully they keep them here, and don't join the made in Communist China trade.

[yfamily1000]

cool

[Dinosorable]

I think the best thing about the train is that it's a lot of fun for the whole family.

[Dinosorable]

I want one! :D

[vraho100]

i like but rip off



[debowh]

[trolleywire]

That is so neat!!

[mcguire1978]

I would love a backyard train set like this. I don't see anything wrong with this train set. I know it's not a real live steam train set, but it's perfect for people who just want a simple and easy backyard train set. I live in Chicago with no backyard (just backporch) but if I had a big backyard I'd buy this train. :-)

[guitboxchicken]

Their "starter package" is $22,000. I'm no machinist, or backyard railroad expert, but I think you can build your own for much cheaper and it would be built much better! As far as track goes, their track is expensive, compared to what I've seen, even though some may prefer the prefabricated sections for simplicity's sake.

[mortsey]

"the best thing about the train is that it puffs out real real smoke" LoL... Thats just what I want in my back yard, real real smoke.

[kkjgg112391]

@mortsey smoke from weeds... mmmm-hmmmmmm... ;D

[dcompdchomp]

KABOOOOOMMMM lol that would be funny when he said its safe

[chappybolo]

sorry but this is complete monkey shit

[CGiordano464]

what! these arent live steam?

[chappybolo]

I know there like an os mogul, but electric!

[CGiordano464]

o wow?? pretty weird

[chappybolo]

yes

[skybluedragonator]

@chappybolo the os live steam mogul actually is probably a little cheaper than there starter set, but if you ask me it is probably way better quality.

[samdalquist]

@skybluedragonator the os steam moguls come in kit form starting at 21k and are made overseas ... not sure about your quality argument (especially considering their website's top headline "Attention to corrosion of brass parts!!!")

not sayin' ... just sayin' ...

[skybluedragonator]

@samdalquist yes this is electric... one good rainstorm and its toast! the OS mogul wouuld probably survive because it doesnt have circuits to short except the headlight.

[samdalquist]

@skybluedragonator regardless of steam/electric, i think we can all agree that if you're spending $21k on a train for your backyard, you'll probably plunk down an extra $3k to keep that thing inside some sort of shed or train station ... or at least spend $30.00 on a rain tarp!

[debobeats]

minnesotans must be real REAL stupid!

[ps3fanboy2007]

yea, just looked at their site. LOL they say "REAL" trains.. define that, because #1. It's not even live steam, it's electric. You actually have to my smoke oil for it LOL. They have 1 Engine, 1 Riding care and a caboose. That's it! LOL. and they want $23,000. for a complete set. I see this company in business for hmm.. 1 year tops. No thanks for 23k I can get something actually live steam lol

[thechoosendude]

Yes, it's a expensive and not so realistic.

The point is that these target wealthy families that want a practical, cheap, easy, and economical model train.

But for me, I'd get something else.

[furmaster21]

real real smoke?.......  O.o looks like a little electric train, if it was REAL REAL, it would be live steam.... XD

[TravvyG]

Is their lil Diesil ones?

[TravvyG]

Ha awesome! Is their an Australian Company that does that? I wonna 18" Gauge one haha but I wouldn't mind gettin one of these when I'm rich =)

[paullubliner]

IT'S NOT EVEN LIVE STEAM???

[supernazireturns]

gay!

[tweetsie12190]

just like u

[schoolsux33]

dang 22,000 dollers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HPIRCFAN1990]

you can build your own for about 400$

[odenkiller]

were an how?

[Dinosorable]

@schoolsux33 That's about as much as a car costs.

[DaftStrings]

I looked at the site. Nice train but it's not real steam or smoke. There's not much diversity in the locos and stock offered for my tastes either.

[stradplayer614]

I want that!!!
