–Comment: Young boy ~6 yo with a blond bowl cut in OshKosh hickory stripes, also sitting (several scenes on/off train, later in other clothes), an older girl ~12-13 yo ? in long bibs (pic 1 on rear and pic 3) and co-host Carly Steinborn in faded shortalls (also later sitting inside a big train at 20), other host is Connor Kristopher Bringas. Also a man (engine driver) in dark blue bibs at 18.

During research for I Love Toy Trains (very few other scenes, mainly men and toddlers, see updated info in I Love Lionel, I found on Google Images the girl in pic 2 (mis)titled "I Love Toy Trains I Love Big Trains: Wher...". The link of that French site was defunct, but I soon found it on YouTube. It's a different publisher called Sandbox Home Videos. (DVD released in 2005 by Big Kids Productions). Directed by Tim Hnedak. No entry on IMDb. VHS and DVD release.

On the YouTube channel by Mechanical Analog Digital I found 2 more clips, one with a lady in bibs (Real Animals, A Day with Horses) and another one with a young girl in shortalls and men (What do you want to be when you grow up: Railroaders, both coming soon). There are obviously many train/engine driver educational vids. But most with very young kids (and men).

Some good sitting scenes of the boy, very few and brief scenes of the older girl. So I can only give rating 4-(5).

Thanks JN for another 2 suggestions. Stagecoach Santa I already have. "Words By Heart" coming soon.
