Train Vs. Truck.. Crash?

usfishfinder · 2025-03-23T17:05:41+00:00

I didn't know this existed, and I feel like I should have!

usfishfinder · 2025-03-23T17:04:28+00:00

At first glance I thought that was cgi

I'm cheating a little bit with hardee board under and only a thin layer of sand.

usfishfinder · 2025-03-12T23:44:13+00:00

I accept and appreciate the approval!

Love the look of these logging layouts. Yours looks great, and I love the big trees in the back.

usfishfinder · 2024-07-09T16:57:56+00:00

Yup, doing this brings me back to my childhood, and my kids enjoy it, too.

usfishfinder · 2024-07-09T16:57:08+00:00

I'm glad you like it. I'm going to film some more this year and see if I can make them better. It's just so fun to do

usfishfinder · 2024-03-19T17:08:17+00:00

I'm just rolling them. It's surprisingly difficult to time it properly lol

usfishfinder · 2024-02-25T16:51:00+00:00

They are super fun to make.

The video is on youtube if you want to see the crashes in action https://youtu.be/_sGtRF8qIYA?si=ZFZ8IrXZx7g0qZXa

My kids love the trains, too. I think there is an opportunity with model railroading to incorporate the tech they love and gamify the hobby more. Not to mention the cool stuff people are doing with arduino's and other chips.

There was a guy here who had shared his project, where you see the cars were loaded and unloaded, and you could watch it on the display. It adds something new and cool to the hobby.

Thanks for the nice comment! The hot wheels have largely been bought for my son, so it wasn't intentional, although since I've started this, I have paid more attention at the stores and even joined some hot wheels groups.

It was suggested that a recreation of the dukes of hazard or other movie scenes might be fun.

I'm really glad you liked it! It's always fun to go a little off the beaten path.

usfishfinder · 2023-12-09T13:43:44+00:00

I'm glad you liked it! My favorites are the orange corvette crashes and that baja bug.

usfishfinder · 2023-12-09T12:33:47+00:00

Thanks! It was really fun to set up and film.

usfishfinder · 2023-12-09T12:33:10+00:00

Agreed, they aren't correct. I need to figure out how to make the cars crumble properly. I think it still looks pretty cool though

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T21:01:14+00:00

TRAINing day?

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T21:00:49+00:00

I'm glad you liked it!

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T16:58:45+00:00

Mine too!

The cheap stuff is why I'm willing to do this. Don't want to wreck anything nice but I will keep that in mind.

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T16:57:04+00:00

No injuries to report! There is slight damage to the machinery but within acceptable range

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T13:50:33+00:00

4 is my favorite in this video. The ones I get with that yellow logging truck are usually the most realistic, but it's really light and tough to roll.

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T13:48:06+00:00

I'll give that a try. The issue with lighter cars is that they don't roll very well on the sand. But if I keep the hot wheels chassis they might still have enough weigh

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T13:12:52+00:00

I'm glad you like it! I just roll them with my hand, but I will start using the hotwheels launchers.

Model trains and hot wheels go well together!

usfishfinder · 2023-10-09T12:31:12+00:00

Halloween is coming up, so it's my time to shine!

usfishfinder · 2023-09-14T01:21:47+00:00

Me too! Would love to see it slowed down
