In Columbia, TN, you may be familiar with "The Mid South Steamer R R Club," which is opened to the Public twice a year, I believe. I believe in May and October. Ted Schempp, Spring Hill, TN.
Simply Awesome. Never ever thought models would run on coal. Thought steam & smoke was just bring the realistic effect while the real motion was with diesel/ electric. Many thanks for the video.
As a Brit, it’s funny to see the difference between the english loading gauge and American loading gauge. And it really becomes apparent in 7 1/4 inch gauge!
I see in the Auto market now with the EV cars just around the corner we have the same situation when diesel and electric replaced steam , when you look at all the incredible engineering and maintenance and energy and water supplies needed to run these one can understand why they switched , and the day will come when we look at ICE cars and say , man they certainly put a lot of effort and engineering into those old auto's .
What beautiful engines. I would love to know a bit more of the phenomenons that occur in railroad fire-tube boilers. In this video I clearly saw pressure reliefs lift when the operators reduced throttle, but I'd love to know what else happens. Do you see water level change with steam demand, due to the increased boiling? What sorts of boiler water treatments (if any) do you use? What sorts of thermal limits are there, ie max temperatures, heat-up/cool-down rate limits, etc?
Excellent I found my locomotive in your video on top of the hill when I was coming down on the side track I saw me and my yellow Switcher. You had a good time and I hope you did you have very excellent videos keep up the good work thank you for featuring my engine number 55 my little cannonballs Switcher
tim sering in this scale- all the rods are made of steel. It would be foolish to make them out of anything else. With enough force you can break pretty much anything
The Lackawanna Northern and the Georgetown in Western Northern are both locomotive kits produced by Little Engines when I owned Little Engines I took on the Monumental task of redesigning the locomotives and redoing all the original patterns from 1947 so they would produce the fine models that they do today bringing once again the glory back to This Magnificent machine do a TH-cam search for Lackawanna 1637 and you will find more magnificent short clip videos of that engine in action pulling 35 and 37 car trains
What are the speed limits on most live steam railways? (7&1/4"-7&1/2" gauge) Thinking of designing my own 0-4-0 diesel shunter and wanted an idea for hydraulic pump ratios. Also can anyone tell me what the axle load limit usually is? I was wanting to build it from 3/8" or 1/4" steel plate for really good traction.
My club generally runs at 5-7 mph. Your axel load limit depends on the material/thickness you make it out of. For an 0-4-0 you shouldn't really run into the limit, but it also depends on what scale you make it.
The farmed out construction of even a modest 4-6-0 locomotive will cost at least $12,000-$15,000. With larger engines pushing or surpassing $60,000-$100,000+. 7-10 of these engines are built by the owner and they could take 5-10 years to complete. Assuming one has the machining skills for the work.
The locomotives are works of art, and I enjoy seeing them run very much. But the people riding and operating them ruin the whole thing. Can't these locomotives be operated by radio control in order to provide a more realistic sight.
nemo zilch if you spent ten years and $20,000-$30,000+ to build one...you’d better believe the builder will be with his creation. Operating it is the entire point in this scale.
I think a lot would be lost if these magnificent engines were merely remotely operated. People made them, and people are at the heart of these wonderful miniature railways.
You don’t...you buy the parts and drawings and build it. It would cost over $80,000-$100,000 to have a shop do all the labor plus the $15,000 for the kit and $9,500 for the boiler...and about $5,000 in fittings/valves.
Neither one of the Georgetown and Western engines are for sale there is a sister locomotive to the Lackawanna Northern for sale that is a 464 Hudson lettered for the Lackawanna I have decided to part with it of all of the four engines we built it is the highest detailed you can contact me at highiron at AOL.com if you're interested
The Steam Channel Thank you. It is very nice and must be a large club. Went to a home in Northwestern Iowa a long time ago and that club had a similar size track and one elevated 3 1/2 gauge.
So does that mean that the public has no access to events, locomotive runs, and other dates where in there is activity?? Most model railroads I am familiar with do invite the public, and raise funds for the ongoing sustaining finances by doing so.
No, it’s not open to the general public. It’s also not a club. Some clubs have specific public run days, but they are the exception not the rule. Many that do are generally located on public land or in a public park.
"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!! This is a wonderful hobby, but like much of RC airplanes, it's a rich man's hobby, or at least "very well healed"! I'll stay with MAHJONG please & be completely bored!!!!!
Obscene detail on those northerns. Hats off to the builders.
Beautiful video. Those Northerns sound and look fantastic.
Those Northerns were beautiful, especially the lead. It's ashame the Challenger couldn't make a run, but it, too, was very beautiful to see.
An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. ♡ T.E.N.
very good to see the duo of northern tracinando the train, thank you
the northerns are magnificent engines and the challenger is just amazing

Nah man, they just have a really big Legacy control hidden out of sight. lol
Beautiful engines! 😍
Puffing sounds is funny at the start it's like a breathing man
How fun! Wish the signals were seen changing.
As a Brit, it’s funny to see the difference between the english loading gauge and American loading gauge. And it really becomes apparent in 7 1/4 inch gauge!
It's funny to see the difference between the British 5 inch rails in their beautiful gardens, and the American "heavy metal". It's all business here.
“Woh Brandon how ya doin man!”
Nice video
Lovely..
Fantastic video of the two Northerns in action 😉 Shame the UP 3977 has failed on it rear set of driving wheels.
This would definitely be a job I would LOVE to do
This looks so fun
This is the best chanell ever
This is so awesome!!!! WOW!!
Great 👍🏻 salute
Awesome masterpieces. like!!

this 1st steam train is my fav! and UNION PACIFIC my 2nd fav!
God would it be fun to actually operate on of those trains

In men we do not grow, we just change our toys ...! (Brazil)
awesome video.
Amazing Train set-up. Built by that disappearing breed of people who actually know how to DO stuff, eh? Pretty doggone cool.
Some of those trains are pulling really wide and heavy loads... ;-)
Nice!
Love the Video
Thanks for an great video. Looks like you could use a surfacing crew though. lol

Nice and steamy.
This would be a savage backyard railroad..very cool...just wondering
If you had the space how fast could this locomotive go????
Thanks for the nice video.
Greetings from Germany.
Danke für das schöne Video.
Grüße aus Deutschland.
You're welcome, thank you for tuning in!
Great locos. Seems pretty chaotic to me. Does anyone know what’s going on
What’s the basis for these Northerns? They look incredible.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I want an LNER A1 CLASS TENDER ENGINE like Gordon from thomas and friends.
An A1 Pacific would be cool to see.
I would not want to be hanging out underneath those powerlines for prolonged periods of time.
Tudo sensacional
This is my fav cha l
Has anyone built a Western Maryland 2-10-0 Yet? Like the Larger Decapods when they came close to dropping steam power?
Looks like the challenger rods are made of steel....how do you break a steel combination lever ?

Where did you get all of those trains????????? Because I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
💯th comment
How much does one of the 4-8-4 weight, approximately?
The locomotive itself can weight 2,000-2,400 pounds.
How many horsepower does a locomotive like this generate?
What track gauge is it ?
How much it costs and how much to run it.
Hello there! Messaging you guys from the United Kingdom! Just wanted to ask what Gauge track you guys mainly run on over there?
stryrker135 most of the country runs on 7.5” Gauge. There are some spots on the east coast that run on 7.25”
Oh i see! thanks for the replying! =)
May as well use a 4884 lol
I wanted to know if I could work for you guys
where does this take place? what city,town state? love to visit love to sit and watch TRAINS
rwam chubb this was an event hosted for live steamers at a private railroad in Ohio. It’s not open to the general public

Hello where the get those locomotives if the can give the information is that my son wants a steam locomotive. Thanks
They aren’t bought- they are built.
Ok
Could you recommend someone to build them

how much money was it to get the G&W Northern? like how much was it to make it? and how do i buy it on the little engines site?
You don’t...you buy the parts and drawings and build it. It would cost over $80,000-$100,000 to have a shop do all the labor plus the $15,000 for the kit and $9,500 for the boiler...and about $5,000 in fittings/valves.

what do you use for fuel??? Kerosene,diesel or coal???
Coal
