That's amazing, when I was a youngster and had lionel trains, I could never get them to turn like that, they would always jump the tracks and pull the rest of the train with it...
Thanks for sharing...


You have to have a pusher. Now there is technology for that. As you can see. Same problem with real trains.

In the comments, 8 locomotives and 228 cars. I did not try to count.
Video is almost 5 minutes long and you get the idea after 3 minutes.
I wonder how long this train was (in feet).

Wow! That is a lot of rolling stock and track, not to mention the time setting it up. Thank you for sharing.
