In this 2007 video (In my own words, I called it: I Love Toy Trains-When Steam was king), There is an educational segment on what it means to love Steam Locomotives of all ages by using Rare and Out of Print Berkshire Productions Titles in the 80s-The Majestic Mikado (Southern 4501 in 1985), The Pacific Princess (L&N 152 in 1986), Juniata's Jewel (Pennsylvania 1361 in 1987), 2102: The American Northern from 1989, The Frisco Filly (1522 in 1988), and more titles with NKP 587, N&W 611, GT 4070 at the Cuyahoga valley line UP 844 as 8444 in 1987, and challenger 3985 as 3967 then 3718 in 1993 from pentrex, SP&S 700 in 2001 from Pentrex, and some other engines. Oh and the new footage of hesston with shay #7 is shown. I hope that TMBV would make a Souvenier video on the museum. Plus Jim Coffey's song: When Steam was king (yet to be released on an album) was performed but when it was shown in the closing credits of the VHS version of I love big Trains part 2, the song was planned to be used in ILBT 3 but canceled. The song was also shown in Marshall Publishing's Lots & Lots of Really Big Steam Trains with Vintage films from the Greg Scholl Collection. Part 1 of a lucky dog is shown, then comes a visit to Donald Zarobsky's layout where music by Gene Michael Productions are included, as well as a look at the Second ILTT store layout. Afterwards, Jeff explains the different words on what railroaders do, follwed by the Jim Coffey Song, Railway talk. Unfortunately, TMBV never released part 2 or beyond of all about trains because there are not enough books and films on different words of the railroad talk. Part 2 of a lucky dog is shown, Then comes an educational segment of how most of the railroads played a big role in the steel mill that even has footage from the actual plant. Afterwards there is an educational segment on what cabooses do at the end of the train, and Jim Coffey performs Where have all the cabooses gone? which was later re-used in the 2009 Version of ILTT part 3. The final part of a lucky dog is shown, then comes a segment on how to build a train layout which is in fact the shorter version of Building an O Gauge (Lionel Fastrack) Layout Beginner & advanced. This is the first TM Kids show to have that layout, and it is still operating today. Finally, the program comes to a close with an educational segment on the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha using Lionel's 2006 model.

All in all, Just like John Deere Heaven Part 1, Part 2 of this program was never made. But at least it'll still be more educational to watch from TMBV more often than oh I don't know... Every Sharon Miller Style Episode Of Thomas the Tank engine? As I mention eariler, I wish that one day, TMBV would make a special Souvineer Video on the Hesston Steam Museum with almost each and every Uncut (B-Roll) Footage since 1993.
