I’m giving away TWO Kato Starter Sets, such as the ones on this page (winners get to choose): https://www.trainworld.com/train-set/n-scale-train-set/kato-n-scale-train-set.html
The giveaway period will end at midnight on the Friday of the week my channel hits 50,000 subscribers. Unless that itself happens at the end of the week, in which case I may extend it another week. I'll have an update on the exact end date once it is clear what week I will reach 50,000 subscribers.
HOW TO ENTER AND WIN:
1st Drawing: Anyone who leaves a comment on this video is entered to win a Kato Train Set in the giveaway. The winner will be chosen by random drawing the week after I reach 50,000 subscribers. The winner will be notified by a reply from me on the comment along with a link to supply shipping address information so I can ship the train set. The winner must choose a Kato train set from a list of sets that are available and in stock at a major US internet hobby dealer at that time.
2nd Drawing: Describe in the comment why you or someone you know should win the 2nd train set. The comments with the most likes (at least the top 10 comments) will then be listed in a follow-up video after I reach the 50,000 subscribers mark, and viewers will then be able to decide on that video which of those should win. In the event this process is unworkable, the second train set giveaway will be by a random drawing of people posting a comment on the video.

Great giveaway! I’ve been following the channel for a while, and it’s amazing to see the community grow to 50,000 subscribers. A Kato starter set is such a fantastic prize for anyone looking to get into the hobby or expand their layout.
While I love working on my model railroading projects, I also spend a lot of time supporting community growth in other ways, such as helping entrepreneurs find a free business listing for black owned business. It is just as important to build strong networks in the real world as it is to build great layouts. For those looking to increase their visibility, a Business directory submission for black owned business is a great way to get started.
Congratulations to Steve's Trains on reaching such an incredible milestone! It is wonderful to see the community grow, and a giveaway like the Kato Starter Set is a fantastic way to celebrate and encourage new enthusiasts to get into the hobby.
Whether you are spending hours meticulously detailing a new layout or celebrating a big channel achievement, taking a moment for personal wellness is a great way to stay refreshed. Incorporating simple scalp care into your daily routine can be a grounding habit after a long day of hobby work, and a High Frequency Facial is a perfect way to keep your skin looking vibrant for your own celebrations. Here’s to many more subscribers and happy modeling!
Congrats on hitting 50,000 subscribers — that’s an amazing milestone! 🥳 I’ve always loved how this community shares passion for modeling and trains. Reading this reminded me how detail and dedication matter in every hobby or profession, whether it’s building a perfect layout or how marine insulation companies and marine pipe insulation experts pay attention to the fundamentals so everything runs smoothly. Looking forward to many more great posts here!
Hello! I just discovered your site and videos and I am enjoying your site along with the information available to me. I am just starting in N Scale after many years in O Scale retirement downsizing). Thanks for all of your resources and great content.
Hi Steve,
I've been a longtime viewer of your videos. This is my first comment it's taken me 67 years to figure how to post a comment. My grandchildren love coming to my house to run my trains. I just have a small N-scale 2'x6' I've had since the 60's. My dad got me started, he had a Lionel layout and he thought I should have my own. I have all of the engines and rolling stock I've ever received from my dad or bought myself. Some of my favorite pieces are the early Atlas F-Units and rolling stock my dad gave me. My eight-year-old grandson makes his dad bring him to my house 2 to 3 times a week…
