A pleasant trip around the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers track during their 2012 Spring Meet. We are pulled by a OS Baldwin Mogul coal burning steam engine.
We test our stark arrestor designs in the dark, and found that adding a solid plate on the top really helped the effectiveness. This stops the forced embers in the exhaust from being pushed thru the 1/8" metal mesh.
When I join this club, I'm gonna drive either a 4-8-4 Northern, a 4-6-4 Hudson, a Pacific Type 4-6-2, a Mountain Type 4-8-2, a Berkshire 2-8-4, or a 2-8-2 Mikado.
Something like a bird whistle. the valve was on the cab floor, with a trap below leading to the whistle. Water would collect in the pipe from the boiler to the valve, then be blown into the trap to gurgilate when I pushed the lever!

Awesome!
We're gunna need a spark arrester like that on 346 here at the museum, we burned down the field behind the museum.
No, it was done off the plans for the Ken Schroeder Shay with the pull reversed to fit under the cab roof.
How did it sound, before?
Are you the one who fixed it?
How many miles is the line?
Cool vid. Is it a 2-6-0 or a 4-4-0?
2-6-0 :). I love these videos I wish he did more.
Oh.
