Really cool video 👍😎 Some nice railfan catches in an absolutely gorgeous setting 🚂🇺🇸

When 4014 is "working" at pulling a normal load, which consumable is used faster, the water or the fuel? I'm wondering in, say, gallons per hour average.Just silly monkey curiosity.

Nice share!

These videos are always enjoyable. A couple of ideas. 1/ Tiny bits from those fibre-glass brushes can finish up in eyes, probably rubbed in from the fingers (one of the reasons for safety glasses/shields is to keep the fingers OUT). The possibility of corneal scratches comes to mind. I have been trying to find for you a letter in a recent 'Model Railway Journal' but could not find it. The author relates having several fragments medically removed. Better to find another way. 2/ I have always thought there are two design faults with the 30xx and 31xx models, the rear motor bearing is not replaceable as it is on some 33xx models, and the wire coming off the windings and going to the brushes is not anchored to the motor frame. This means that when removing and manipulating the stator, the wire is flexed, and can fatigue and break. I have a 3068 (Danish NOHAB GM AA16C) with a broken wire. Finding spare part stators for these things is not always easy. With some of my models I have tapped an 8BA insulated screw into the motor casting and terminated the winding wires to it. It is insulated, remember. A length of Faller flexible wire carries the current from there to the brushes, and takes most of the flexing - easily most of the flexing. If it breaks it is easy to replace; if the stator wires break you have a real problem. If you do this modification use a generously sized tapping drill so as to not stress and break the tap. Removing a broken tap from Mazac/Zamac is hard. When run, the old motors wear brushes and need cleaning, so motor disassembly is needed. There is a digitising kit available for many of these locos; and that includes a new (permanent magnet) stator. See Marklin of Sweden th-cam.com/video/43ZlR_WuTrQ/w-d-xo.html Worth the considerable research required. Thanks for your video, hope this adds to it all.

What a great video 👍 ! I love Union Pacific trains 🚂 👍 A pleasure to watch from the beginning to the end ! Thanks for sharing 👍

Some nice railfanning! Two locals and one really long IM. Very well done 👍🚂

Awesome train!!

The caboose got left somewhere in California when it went highballin up to Donner after the tree strike it had no caboose but damn was he laying the power on

Well now, isn't this interesting. Here is the Big Boy, with a Diesel Engine, "Helper"? Maybe the electronics package installed into the tender, failed or malfunctioned. Or is it because even with the added cars. The Big Boy needs help braking. Or perhaps a bit of a push up some hills? I know when it left Cheyenne back on June 30th, there was no Diesel engine, because I watched it go out, and took a video of it. Very odd, that the Diesel engine if back.

“Whooooooahhh! LOOK at it!!!” I’m with ya, kid!

2:32 - I love that they even have a caboose on the back! 👍👍

Stunning 🤩🛤🚂thank you 🌟

This is a beautiful piece of Steam Era Engineering. The pinnacle of that Era. And to think that we will be going to all battery powered electric in the next few years! (Kidding about the electric)

I would love to see the 4014 but I'm all the way in the East anyway you can bring it east

Love the GG-1! Who made yours?

Thanks for sharing and showing how to install them. I have a Märklin C-track layout with a Bachmann EZ Track outer oval, but the tracks are too tight together for this…

Jährlich bin ich in Kalifornien und immer verpasse ich sie

very enjoyable video

Great video 😍 Thanks for sharing!

They said no more diesel. What happened?

You got some great shots there. Thanks.

Awsome Video Cheers From Big Boy Fan Of Netherlands 😀

Glad this appeared in my suggestions. Searching for "Big Boy" on google gets you completely different results 😲

Seeing #4014 is always a treat, but I wonder where Union Pacific was hiding their clean and fresh freight cars? I guess U.P. had them under lock 🔒 and 🗝️ key and armed guards to keep the graffiti taggers at bay....😂😂😂😂

It amazes me that people standing 20 feet from a running BigBoy would put a phone in front of their eyes.

....and all of the cars are graffiti free... I love it when people get a close up pucture.... I CAN NOT GET THE WHOLE THING IN ONE FRAME!

Wonderful shots of a wonderful locomotive 👍👍👍 ! A Big Thank You for sharing !

What a handsome machine! I want to hear it breathe.

What is the car directly behind the engine?

The bloody diesel is back…😖

Really great footage of 4014 👍🚂 A perfect way to spend the Fourth of July 🇺🇸

Не устаю им любоваться, это выдающийся паровоз❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ в россии нет таких😢

Underexposure issues.

that steam locomotive is so awesome

Cool caboose too! 🚂💨🚃🛤

I wish they could put the diesel at the rear of the train and use it like a DPU if they needed dynamic braking. It might take some doing to rig the Big Boy as the control unit, but I would think it reasonably possible.

Shadow maybe I don't know Look dark

Why? Does the,,,diesel look like it's been on fire

EMD EXTENDED RANGE DYNAMIC BRAKING

Hey why does the Union Pacific 4014 have a diesel locomotive behind it

Some really nice looking trains and layouts 👍🚂

How do you extend the powerrails on the roof

0:48 why using the screwdriver to remove the bogie dummy here, while you can easily remove it by lifting it at the left side where you unscrewed the coupler?

Great video 👍 ! Thank you for sharing 👍 the 3029 is my first Marklin model ever . I love it ! The cream and red thunderboxes fit perfectly. 🚂

I like the Märklin level crossing better. The barriers don't “flutter” back and forth like that when the train runs over them.

I had a similar urge, just without the trip to The Peoples' Republik of CA... I plan to convert mine to DCC and add light & weight to the coaches. Curious as to how much you paid on ebay. Nice set. Mine is also EZ Track. Noisy...

Great Loco & video. I've have just purchased an identical Croc myself & waiting to try it out

The 3000 is such a great locomotive 👍🚂 It’s running great after its tuneup 😎

Hello I have the marklin Santa Fe engine and dummy unit the engine runs well but in opening the dummy unit it had no pieces to connect the light just a wire from the bulb that goes nowhere. Under the unit it doesn’t even have a slider to pick up current would you be able to tell me the parts I would need to hook up the light again and where to purchase them Much appreciated Thank you Great video on the engine

Very well done tune-up video 👍😎 Your 3000 will have many years of trouble free operation. Just a question? Where do you get your spare parts from? Thanks for sharing your Marklin knowledge and skills 🚂
