I'm always looking for great content to post over on the O Gauge Railroading Facebook page. Over the years there have been a ton of wonderful videos about O gauge trains posted on Youtube. I know many of you have all time favorites. So the purpose of this thread is for you to show other members your favorites from Youtube. I'll share mine. It's a toss up between the American Flyer Boys Railroad Club series and this classic favorite:

 

 

 

Ok, so post up your favorite O gauge videos for us to watch, and please use the embed feature so Rich doesn't fire me for starting this thread!

A long time ago, when the term "hi-rail" started being used, it meant taking "toy" trains on high rail (3-rail track) and putting them in a realistic setting. Today, the meaning seems to have changed meaning "scale" trains.

 

For me, this is one of those great examples of the original meaning of "hi-rail." Toy trains in a realistic setting. And with (gasp!!) 027 track and switches. Hi-rail means to me what it always meant: semi-scale toy trains in a realistic setting.

 

And notice the BIG Williams engines and some scale rolling stock clearing the 027 switch box housing!

Found it!  (thought I don't know the real name)
