- After at least 12 years of slumber the old girl wakes up goes for a drive. Plus a bit of “What makes it tick.”
Part 1, “Building a Switcher Truck”:
• Building a Switcher Truck
Part 2, “Trucking our Switch Engine SRM 8202”:
She runs better than my 76 skylark with no oil pressure! Old lady gets woken up in 12 years and goes like "Okay, what short line are y'all putting me onto this time?"
I love it when something that's been sitting for years just needs some Cosby juice and cranks right over running. Like it's been only a week since it's last start up.
That first move under her own power had to be both a relief and a thrilling moment.
She sounds wonderful!
Greetings from Belgium! We also had EMD engines on some of our locomotives. The sound they make idle and when they rev up... Keep up the good work! We need to preserve these.
I absolutely love your presentation the explanations
and the videos are absolutely awesome.
When I was a kid my father did some Locomotive engine repairs and some bogey and electrical repair.
It was for a company that did some coal mining in North Dakota
and I was fortunate to be able to go along.
He and several others actually were replacing the electric cables on the bogeys and there was also some work done on the rocker arms of the engine of the locomotive.
This was in early 1963 I was 8 years old and I will never forget the learning experience and fun that was to be able to make some of the trips with my father and be around and up close to such huge equipment as this.
I had a interest in anything mechanical ⚙️ and electrical from when I was around 5 years old and my father taught me as much as he possibly could.
OMG....the sound of that non-turbo 567 is music to my ears!!
You do an excellent job explaining the operation of the locomotive.
Hi Allen good to see you! John Eagan
Totally totally old school I love this I love you explanations of everything you know when you learn about the mechanics of something that's easy to understand it more it's just amazing
AMAZING Video!!! Bringing a "World" of Work and Life into such a spectacular view!! THANK YOU for taking the time, patience, and incredible work...to produce this Masterpiece.
Good seeing you old friend!
She sounds wonderful; congratulations on a job well done!
This video is pure gold! Thanks you!
Winton 201A was designed under GM ownership. It was part of the whole two stroke program which ranged from the 71 series Detroit Diesel on up.
Very nice!
Well done gentlemen! Greetings from Australia.
Excellent presentation…all three parts!
Nice video, Allen!
A great place! and a super video! SRM is a gem. can easily spend a few days there!
To be that old and running like a Singer sewing machine!
Sounds sweet!. Love it. Subbed here!
Those engines sounds just like the real life sounds on my train set diesels unbelievable
A fellow railroader i follow on Instagram works there. I saw you Eli!!😂😂😂
👍 like your video
S2 from CERN railway diesel automotive
At 17:20 watch the light, flash, arc? over the letter H Loose connection?
Basically a baby Detroit clone engine
As a young curly hair kid did you ever think you would be driving a locomotive one day?😃
By chance will she get a fresh paint job when completed?
What is the rotary switch above the starting/aux gen fuses on the battery knife switch panel? I can't quite make out the labels...
Truck cut out switch. In case of problems one can operate the loco with one truck.
@@allenrider5810 I see. Thanks for your response. Great work on the engine, she's going to run like clockwork!
Will 8202 be loaned out to other railroads or will she just stay at the SRM?
Not likely. It has plain bearing journals and “Modern” railroads are paranoid of them. Plus we need it at SRM. It’s a great switcher.
8202 looks like it has friction wheel bearings. If so, it wouldn't be allowed on a main-line?
I am curious! How does it run IF (as you stated) she is "UNDER HER TRUCKS"!! I am guessing you meant that you got her trucks UNDER HER?? Of course, I have never made a "faux pas" And, of course, you believe everything I say, don't you? 😷🙄
you don't give any credit to all the people who worked/helped with the project it seems to be all about you
Huh? virtually everything he said was ..we.. us.. our. The only time I heard him say me or I was when he specifically did something himself.
In 1938 General Motors renamed the Winton Engine Corporation to the Cleveland Diesel Division. Cleveland Diesel Division was dissolved in 1962 and the entire operation was under the umbrella of the Electro Motive Division of General Motors. GM sold off EMD in 2005 and underwent various ownerships until present time which it is owned indirectly by Caterpillar through its Progress Rail Division. Some people think that Detroit Diesel built these engines. It did not.
