That is how I got here. Good luck with your project from someone who has worked on ones larger than that one but also been involved in moving a 3' gauge one of about the same size. Await your next video.
@@EthanHarty Thank you Ethan, well done on that improvised uplift and unload, I like your style and energy, this project will be a successful in your hands, all the best, it will be a pleasure to watch going forward forward.
I accidentally found this video and had to watch it. I’m an artist blacksmith that mainly worked on smaller scale projects such as furniture. The idea of restoring a locomotive is intriguing. I wish you the best of luck and have no doubt you’ll pull this off. I’ll be following along.
If you're not aware, the channel Vintage Machinery has several videos where he has worked on one of these Vulcan 0-4-0's, Including dismantling and reassembly when having the boiler replaced.
Glorious. I Bought my first vertical steam engine back in july, only about 2ft tall but a locomotive is definitely the goal. Theres a few around in my area here in northern washington, and even an old dilapidated steam tourist railroad i may be able to help out. Great job
Nice! I knew it was a Vulcan when I saw your short!! I see A LOT of Vulcan Iron Works Mine Hoists in our abandoned Anthracite Coal Mines here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. They made them here in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania too.
Congratulations brother!!!! Can’t wait to follow this project. We just started restoration on my new 15T standard-gauge Porter (no videos yet), I’m blown away that TH-cam will see the restoration of all 3 major Tank loco manufacturers with this Vulcan, the Davenports with @Wreck2Restored, and our Porter!! These saddle tank locos are such sweethearts. All the best to you guys & will be stoked for the next episode. Cheers!! 🔥
Thank you for the support, very cool indeed that all of this has convened at the same time. I’ll attach my email here so that we can exchange any troubles we might have along the way! ethanhartyblacksmith@gmail.com
Excellent video Ethan! I'm very excited to follow your project! It will certainly be fascinating to see the differences between the three manufacturers and how they accomplished the same task! Best of luck to both of you on your projects, I can't wait for all the amazing restoration content! W2R
Interesting Ethan, not only do we share a Surname but also an infatuation with old engineering, I look forward to the journey of this project, Seasons greetings to you and your family from possible distant cousins in New Zealand.
Congratulations on this acquisition and best wishes to you and your family as you embark on this endeavor. This will certainly be a big part of your lives for years to come and an exciting journey. Subscribing and anxious to witness this dream come to fruition! God bless❤
We have one of these parked in one of the harbors near my home town. I loved climbing on it as a kid. It used to run on a lime quarry back in the 1880s-1920s. Love to see one of these run again!
4:05 I bet you never heard of the the Technischer Überwachungs-Verein from Germany. It was actually founded as an institution to inspect steam loco boilers
I have pondered what it means to be an avid collector and a novice model railroader.. Your dream is one I had since childhood. Love the mechanical marvels of a steam locomotive.
I was trying to figure out how to convert a steam locomotive to electric and it just came to me. I don't need to convert the mechanical motion to electric drive just the heat source; all the steam locomotive needs to do is build pressure. A LPG/CNG electric generator can be used with electric heating elements (the kind found in water heaters) with little to no modification of the boiler. A POC can be done cheaply by sourcing *used* parts locally; water heaters (5 elements, 240V x 10A each minimum) and electric generator (13-25kW). This would reduce cost of opperation and increase fuel efficiency by 20 to 50 times when compared to oil or wood.
@@michaellatif That has already been done in Europe and it got its power from the catenary. Those 5 elements will be nowhere near enough heating to operate a steam locomotive of even an 0-4-0 size. An 0-6-0 required 480kW and still took an hour to raise the steam.
@@gravelydon7072 An EMD/GE 3xx disell locomotive is no more than a 30kW generator and 10-15kW when operating. A steam locomotive, 0-4-0 (yard locomotives), needs at most 25kW. With the largest steam locomotive, 4-8-8-4 (Big Boy), 100kW (maximum) wouldn't be out of the question. What is important is thermal energy generated (efficiently) and with today's technology that's 95%+ efficiency for both electric generators and thermal elements. Example: A commercial water heater can heat, to boiling near 212C, 500 gallons of water with 10kW in an hour. Even the Mythbusters detonated (to prove a point) residential water heaters with just 240V@10A x2 elements (5kW)...
Greetings from sunny Torrance, Ca., U.S.A. I am glad I found you, (even though it was through Timothy), At 7:28 your statement says it all! This quote is why I believe that you will be a lg success and that you are in good hands. Thank you for sharing.
Just saw your short video and commented about Bill Graham. Have a lot of respect for that man and his passion protection for the antique equipment. One of my son's friends dad was a boiler guy that ran the old train at fort edmonton park for a few years. Good on you.
I'm so looking forward to following you through your amazing journey. You're gonna have fun. Many many thanks for sharing your project. Much love from the UK. Richard.
So cool..... my dad and great uncle worked with the CPR in Banff, I've heard all kinds of stories of the days of steam in Banff. I love the old steam engines.
Best of your luck with your efforts man so many people I see now in the 21th century restoring and operating steam locomotives. The best idea for you is collab with as many other railroaders especially steam locomotive operators as you can the more are united the more will be able to come back from years of rusting away. Learn from them and get a feel for what it will be like when your engine is back under it's own power. Cheers to you and Merry Christmas to you and your family Ethan
Great summary, as an owner of both steam and diesel locomotives (2ft gauge) your experience in purchasing and then moving your loco is the same as us. I look forward to following your journey. We are at the same stage with our steam locos.
I fully understand the allure of bringing home a toy like this. I used to bring home and restore antique fire trucks and tractors. Had a lot of the same issues with transportation and movement..... But, also had a lot of help. It's amazing how many people pitch in on something like this just for the entertainment value and to be a part of a unique process.
Yes steam is such a great addiction congratulations on your purchase. i have a 5th scale model traction engine and friends have full size taction engines, i am into forging and knife making as well and have a 2CWT Massey Inslides power hammer.
I hope your plan works out! Sounds like something fun and educational. Something for you and your passion, and to help and teach others. Good luck! Cheers ☕️
I think if you’re keeping it at your place, have a steam port take off. So you could hook up to a steam power hammer that doesn’t need any more explanation lol. And if you take it to shows hook up to steam corn. Sells like crazy recoup some operating / repair maintenance costs. Have fun with that project. Your family will never forget it!
What an amazing video!! I wish I had the money to buy a steam locomotive to restore to its former glory. Here’s hoping your project is one hundred percent successful!!
I think I remember seeing Bill at Fort Edmonton once as a child, though I can't remember when, growing up I would always love riding the train there and it's super cool to see a fellow Albertian get so deep into steam locomotives, I'm more of a classic car guy but I definitely wouldn't turn down owning one of these machines someday.
Hello fellow Albertan! Always nice to see vintage iron being saved and restored! I love anything steam powered so it's really cool you managed to get your hands on an old loco! Good luck!
Once you get that fired up, you ought to talk to Barney about bringing your engine along to some of the tourist railroads he brings his #85 to. I know he always draws a crowd when he comes to my tourist line.
Congratulations on such a cool project! I actually like utilitarian look of the little yard engines.. I think it’s pretty just as it is. A big fan of keep it historically correct but it’s your baby not mine.. look forward to following your build…
Check out Tim’s video about moving this engine, it’s epic:

Florida local here! I can’t believe this locomotive served the power plant that is LITERALLY visible from my house!
So so cool!!! Can’t wait to see how it progresses. Let me know if you ever need more hands or any parts made 🙏🏻
Thank you Alec!
I was going to tag you in this but I see you’ve beat me to it lmao
One of the TH-cam resto kings of wayward equipment in the house!!
Super cool! Looking forward to the restoring videos. And Alec I hope you get to go help.
I instantly thought about Alec when i watched Tim's video on this. I am surprised at how fast he got here though lol.
I used to be a long haul trucker in the US and I once saw an IDENTICAL loco on a flat bed at a truck stop near Akron Ohio. So cool!
Hmmm trying to think which Locomotive it could be
@@IndustrialParrot2816
Locomotive #1

joke aside, congrats on owning your very own steam locomotive, i'm looking forward to watching this progress.
Beautiful machine, thank you for your efforts in preserving her!
