Классный,оригинальной конструкции паровоз!Я даже не знал,что были такие!!! Спасибо за видео,респект,лайк,подписка!!!Реставраторам- огромное спасибо за то что сохранили такую уникальную технику!!!
This gal is a real beauty. I was in the cab on a special excursion in April and there was wheel slippage while I was in the cab for a runby, and wheel slippage when I was out of the cab at Nottingham.
No, this is a Class B Climax which didn't have a "transmission," some of the Class A Climaxes had some form of two-speed though. I think there is a replica of a Class A somewhere out there but I'm not sure if it has that.
Dude!! I didn't know there would be photo runbys! Otherwise I may have done that too! I'm glad to see this video though...and I'm glad we got to chat that weekend. And yes, some people do read the descriptions! ;)
Big Jim Video Productions I didn't know there was going to be photo runbys either and I also did't know it was free! I thought it was just a advertisement and even if it was it would have worked on me!
It's called a climax. It's an old school logging engine. Not very fast but has more torque than a bulldozer. Good for heavy loads, right turns and steep grades. Not good anything over 7 miles an hour.
In the U.S we use the long.....long....short.. long.... whistle at all grade crossings. If it is a tourist railroad or a photographer runby then anything goes and usually the more whistle the better. In the U.K it seems a few toots is enough.
This particular rail line has been out of commercial freight use for a long time, it's sectioned off. It is only used for these scenic excursions now. I live in WV, we really take pride in having these old engines still running, for new generations to enjoy. If you ever get the chance, please stop on in and take a ride, it's really great. Cass Scenic Railroad is the best by far, though. They have Shays, a Heisler, and now a fully restored 3-truck Climax. Come on over sometime! 😊
This is a logging locomotive. Climax locomotives along with other geared locomotives were used on rough track, tight curves and steep gradients. These conditions were typical of logging and mining railroads.
Brian Falzon Well 7470 has the same whistle, but she also has two others she wears more often then it. It’s a Boston and Maine 3 Chime, and the other two whistles she has are a Boston and Maine Peanut 5 chime, and her original whistle, a Canadian National 6 chime. They don’t really use the 5 or 3 chime on 7470 since she came back from overhaul.
Hopefully this old girl gets her time in the Cass shop soon to return to operation. Hope Cass gets #9 running this smooth, something just sounds "off" when she is working compared to this sister Climax.
Yeah, the chuffing is off cycle with the steam cylinder exhaust, they've got some fine-tuning to do, but word has it the old girl is getting dialed in little by little. I've been following her build progress for years.
Nope, they rarely use sand, mainly because it wears on the wheels and tracks, and amounts to costly repairs. At Cass, they usually have a booster locomotive at the rear or front, in case the engines break traction. One time, everyone had to get off and walk to the next switchback on foot, because there were so many passengers that the Shay was just spinning (it was a bit of a rainy day).
@@tomlebudzinski7716 ....there's one on the Puffin Billy line down Victoria way, Australia. She's a '29 vintage and does 13klmh or 8mph. Still in use for the tourists on a narrow gauge line.
Компактный,достаточно мощный для своего класса,паровоз .Но чувствуется,что на подъёмах ему не хватает крутящего момента на колесах,из-за малого диаметра ведущих колес и проскальзывание их по рельсам из-за недостаточной массы паровоза при увеличении давления в паровых машинах начинается пробуксовка,из-за чего машинисту приходится сбрасывать тягу,убавляя обороты!Поэтому он и едет в подъемы медленно!Понимаю,что ему не хватает сцепления с рельсами, особенно в сырую погоду!Делаю вывод,что это был маневровый,компактный паровоз,для короткого пробега,например в рудниках или угольных разрезах,или на формировании составов на узловых станциях!!Если я не прав,буду рад если Вы меня поправите!!)))Очень интересная конструкция! Спасибо за видео!!!
Trains Of Kansas2 #3 is currently down for repairs. However, in the meantime the line between Durbin and Cass that was abandoned has been rebuilt and when she re-enters service she will be running on that line again.

Is this locomotive two-speed transmission?

Geared Productions
If I didn't live so far away, or I was spending another night in the area, I would have been right there with you...
Beautiful production
2:01 what kind of locomotive is that odd thing

is he like a logging tank engine with bogie wheels at each end?
The pistons drive a set of gears and rods that power the 2 trucks or bogies.
Would be awesome if Durbin Rocket Climax 3 meets up with the restored Cass Climax 9 for a doubleheader in the future.
А можно подробное видео об устройстве этого локомотива,с чертежами,схемами,анимацией...!?Буду весьма признателен!!!)))
Is it me or do engines in the US blow their whistles for a lot longer at a time than in the UK?
In the U.S we use the long.....long....short.. long.... whistle at all grade crossings. If it is a tourist railroad or a photographer runby then anything goes and usually the more whistle the better. In the U.K it seems a few toots is enough.
Is this running on a line that was once abandoned?

Janson Gander Sorry I’m in Kansas it would be to much of a trip.
Parece que tocan los tambores
I maybe going to used this video for my video called if I leave.
Hugo The Train Capture 4074. Sure, as you’ve stated just give credit.
@@Geardproductions sure thing.

Sounds like #7470's whistle from NH!

I will also leave a credit for you at the description of the video.
They forgot to fill the sand dome ??
Nope, they rarely use sand, mainly because it wears on the wheels and tracks, and amounts to costly repairs.

Высший пилотаж!!!
Nice one.
What's the max speed on an engine like this?
A whole 12 mph.
@@tomlebudzinski7716 ....there's one on the Puffin Billy line down Victoria way, Australia. She's a '29 vintage and does 13klmh or 8mph. Still in use for the tourists on a narrow gauge line.
Just above a walk, and just below a jog... Here in the mountains of WV we like to call it "high steppin" LOL! Yeah, they're slow old horses.
