I cant say it was all a coincidence. But I totally planned it all out that way! Lol and it was made public at 12:18pm. And was announced on 12/18 of last year
As a kid in the late 60’s and early 70’s my Great grandmother and grandmother used to take me to the transportation museum when it was at Wasena park and I was always drawn to the 611. They would say it would never run again.i would like to think that the 1218 and the 2156 would run again.
I am not hating nor not wanting 1218 to steam again but when 1218 was put back together it was just put the exterior so the interior parts are missing and will have to be made new which is expensive. Maybe in a few years it can happen but as of now no
Amazing work Steve, your first locomotive of 2016 is awesome, i knew this locomotive was going to be badass. This is something i have been waiting for and it will be the next thing i will buy from your website. It will be the 6th locomotive i will buy from your website which will be a great contrast to the other 5 locomotives i have which are: Reading T1's Frisco 1522 PRR K4's PRR J1 and C&O J3a #614
Outstanding work, Steve. From the modeling, filming, editing, you never forget a thing. It may have taken a lot of time, but it was totally worth it. I always look forward to your new content and promo videos. Keep up the great work!
Once again another great video I loved the ending were all three of the famous three are together with the sound of an N&W hooter in the background. I would love to see 1218 return to steam again but I'm grateful that 611 has returned and who knows what the future has for 1218 maybe she might come since UP is restoring a Big Boy and WMSR is restoring a C&O Mallet only time will tell. I hope you will do a video like this of 611.
@@mratsfrailfan1894 1309 recently steamed up! All they majorly need to do now from what I've heard is to finish painting, hook up the siderods to the cylinders and test run her!
I remember being little and binge watching these documentaries wondering if I'd ever get these. Today, I have the 611, 4501, 630, 1218 and many other K&L Trainz engines in my TRS19 collection!
Great video. Maybe someday the 1218 will be fired up once more and run with the 611. It would take a lot of time and money, but maybe it would work out. If it is too expensive for passenger trains then they can put it back in freight service. After all it is what she was designed for. I was also wondering if 2156 could be repaired and fired up. But this has a less likely chance of happening because 2156 was never fired up since it was originally taken out of service when Norfolk and Western gave up steam. 2156 is in less better condition then the 1218. It would be nice to have 1218 running again since the only malllet types that are running are u.p. 3985 and the 4014 which is being fixed up. (Sorry if I forgot any others.) It would be nice to see if the 1218 will ever run again. I dreamed of seeing the old video of the nkp 765, the N&W 611 and the N&W 1218 triple heading and then comparing it to a modern video of the three triple heading. If a "Fire up 1218" program ever comes up Im sure a lot of us are going to support it.🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
UP 3985 has been retired by the railroad, Big Boy 4014 is now its full time replacement. From what Mr. Dickens has said, 3985 was discovered to be in really rough shape back in 2011. Concerns about the engine's future were part of the reason 4014 was reacquired and restored. Then, when they examined 3985 for a potential overhaul, they found the cost to repair it would be even higher than the 4014's entire restoration. Unfortunate, but at least we now have an operational Big Boy to still enjoy.
Back in 2017 I went to Roanoke to see 611. During the tip I talked to one of the steam program employees, he claimed that there long term goal was to rase the money to build an engine house for 611, 1218, and 2156 when it was on loan to the museum. He then said that once that was complete they will start to rase money to restore 1218. These plans most likely fell apart when all of the restrictions on excursions on class one railroads occurred, and 611 was restricted to running only on tourist lines. If what he told me was true, that does show that 1218 operating again was at least considered.
I dont need it....I dont need it....I definitely don't need it....I dont need it....I dont need it....I dont need it....I dont need it.... I NEED IT!!!!!
1218 may be a proud display and a symbol to Norfolk Southern‘s program and to the pinnacle of steam but she deserves to run again and there is a way to get her going again but all it’s gonna take as a lot negotiation and bringing it forward to the one group that could do the job
@@KLTrainz well I don’t mean Norfolk Southern considering how low they sunk since the accident in Ohio and because of how stupid management has handled things. But I know for sure that there are many in the museum that work on 611 would also love nothing more than to see 1218 run again in many people including enthusiasts and preservationists that are followed up on 1218 since her days in the program want the same thing. And after doing a lot of research there’s only one group around that can guarantee 1218‘s resurrection to steam. But it involves quite a journey to the workshop that can do it.
Thank you for answering my request for a Southern excursion locomotive. You picked the perfect one because my neighbor's grandpa was the engineer on 4501.
+Alex Paumen You and about 500 people have asked for it to complete the late 80s NS lineup! So it makes sense to add it. Plus since 4501 is back running again, it'll be in demand.
All the steamers that participated in the Southern/Norfolk Southern Steam Excursion Program are: Southern Railway 154, 385, 401, 630, 722, and 4501; Norfolk & Western 611 and 1218; Savannah & Atlantic 750; Nickel Plate 765 and 587; Canadian National 5288; Canadian Pacific 2839; Texas & Pacific 610; Chesapeake & Ohio 2716; U.S. Army Transportation Corps 610; Frisco 1522; Atlanta and West Point 290; Louisville & Nashville 152; and London Northeastern Railway 4472 Flying Scotsman during her North American Tour.
I did some research (from the train orders discussion board) this is the list of the 20 steam locomotives that were in the original steam program southern 4501 savannah & Atlanta 750 southern 630 London and north eastern railway 4472 (the flying Scotsman) southern 722 southern 6910 Mississippian 77 southern pacific 4449 (if it's right I'm not sure) Texas & pacific 610 Canadian pacific 2839 Canadian pacific (or Virginia central) 1238 Chesapeake and Ohio 2716 nickel plate road 765 Norfolk and western 611 Norfolk and western 1218 Louisville and Nashville 152 nickel plate road 587 Atlanta and west point 290 Frisco 1522 and u.s army/Tennessee valley 610 I've really became interested in the original steam program I think I like the Varity that was used during the 28 years I do wish some other engines had joined the program a few I've imaged are Chesapeake and ohio 614 and ethier one or all four of the reading t-1 northern's 2100 2101 2102 and 2124 (although 2124 is my favorite one out of the four) I know we can't change the past but that's just hit me in my imagination
154 sat in Chilhowee park in Knoxville, TN until August 2008. It would be quite a trick for it to have been in the program when it was sidelined for over 50 years!
+Epic Videos there is already a pretty good 4449 model out there (and i'm not talking about the shitty Download station one). steamtrainz.org/completed.html
+Epic Videos Lilb's Daylight on the JointedRail site is fantastic. There is no need to make another one when his is VERY well made, all the latest features with his scripts, (which all my engines since 765 use), and his is free! What else can you ask for?
I know I am very late to this video, and you probably don't read comments on these videos any more, I also don't know if you take requests, but a few trains I would love to see in this game are either a PRR T1, or a N&W y6 locomotive but that is just a request, UPDATE. I made this comment before I purchased the game, and therefore didn't know that the PRR T1 is a payware in the base game, and the N&W Y6 are in the download station on the base game
Does anyone know if 1218 or 3985 was more powerful? I know the Class A and the Challenger are of a pretty close size (though the latter is slightly larger), and both were built for fast freight or troop trains.
Research, having a good reputation, and mostly paying what they ask. It isn't cheap to hire a pro cable network voice like Bill Ratner or Dave Drui from Pentrex like I did on the 614 video. But I am willing to pay what it takes to get what I want for my videos! And that goes a long way!
Where did you get the train shed for the VMT? Is it on the DLS? There is a N&W freight station on the DLS and the Roanoke N&W passenger station. And fishlipsatwork made a blank DEM map of Lynchburg-Roanoke-Narrows. And gfisher the Loops route in NC that the 611 will be on April 10 to Asheville. I'm extending it to Asheville and Spencer using my own DEM.
1218 running first since 1955 is the same age as the boomers who were born in 1955 they were between the ages of 21 and 39 years old. Baby Boomers were in their 20’s and 30’s when they began restoring these steam locomotives in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

You guys should remaster your older locos. Are you going to make a C&O, as well as a WM 1309?
It’s a roller bearing equipped, 300 PSI, Super heated superpower articulated

I watched a documentary on Steam Giants Across The USA and 1218 was in it. It feels like it was the part of that! Amazing work!
The reign of steams Camelot may be over but it's never forgotten
I love the Erie hooter whistle for 1218, gotta be one of my favorites. Really does sound like she's working hard in that acceleration.
Actually that’s an N&W Hooter.

N&W_1218:I’m impressed some made a video about me
Great Video. I love the Class A. My favorite N&W Locomotive. Right now Lionel is making the Class A featuring 1212 & 1218 in their lionmaster series.
Restoring 1218 and 2156 along with 611 if she'll still be in service before her 5 year overhaul would be genuinely historical.
Coal drag sessions have just become ALOT more fun!!! :)
It's such a shame. Nowadays, the 1218 with an overhaul like 765 would've been a real treat to witness.
I can see the stoker screw turning at 2:27, that's amazing.
I can kinda see it.
Now do N&W Y6a’s, Y6b’s, and Y3’s
(Trying not to be rude because I like this promo and locomotive)
Is it a coincidence that 1218 may mean more lol 12 = total amount of drivers, 18 = total amount of wheels on the locomotive
Alright here the deal you demon?!!?!
Amazing! I’ve worked with Ratner a hundred times. He’s a true professional icon. Great job landing Flint! Hahahaha

Steve. Please do another train. My idea of the train for today is...Erie 2-8-8-8-2 class. It's good design of today's train!
Or maybe make it free in December this year (12/18)!

@KLTrainz cool, did not know that.
i finally realized the reason k&l trainz hadnt used the 611 they made in this vidoe was because they hadnt made it yet
bruh moment for me
Yup! It was the next model I built after 1218 was finished
This is a digital animated video !!! Of course that's not stated up front !!
Mark Harris Its a video of my model being used in the Trainz Simulator game.
Wow those geeps are really struggling to get 1218 out
I truly hope that someone with a deep passion for steam "and really deep pockets" will rebuild N&W 1218 to operation condition.
I think you guys should make sp 4449, or add the ATSF railroad with ATSF 3751like if you agree

How can you make the train not smoking at 1:12 and how can you make the ground shaking when the train passes

I think it's interesting how the video is about the N&W 1218 and the video is 12:18 long.
Take note of the N&W 611, N&W 475, WMSR 734 and Cotton Belt 819 videos
10:41 do you know the 20 different steam locomotives? All the other programs that merged with Norfolk Southern counts as well.
i hear a ghostly whistle at 11:56!
It's 425 that has 1218s whistle
its awsome
Where did you get the train shed for the VMT? Is it on the DLS? There is a N&W freight station on the DLS and the Roanoke N&W passenger station.

I'm extending it to Asheville and Spencer using my own DEM.
do UP 4014 or 844
Why you not do captions?
If you wanted me to recommend a model, and if I had to choose, it'd be CB&Q/Grand Canyon 4060
At 1:14 where did you get the prr union line box car?
This is awsome. Whatever will the next video of a new steam locomotive be?
I love these promos. Can you please do one on the 3985 or the big boy
they really didnt care about the steam program when they towed it backwards after giving ut up to the museum
Are those streamlined cars (not the Powhatan Arrow cars) reskins you made for this or are they on the DLS?
Hey I have a question how did you get no smoke from the 1218 was this... IDK

did u guys make that 2156 model too?
the 2156 is in the base game

I uploaded a video of the NYC J3a. Hopefully you'll like it. Just a small joyride if you will.
