- In today's video, we take an in-depth look at Denver and Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) K-37 class number 491, at the @crrm . This is the first video in the LOCO 360 series, aiming to show off each and every piece of a locomotive (within reason) and talk through what each part is. Hopefully you all enjoy it!
Edit: I am being told by our Roundhouse foreman that I got the feed valves backwards, because they're labeled wrong. What else is new, lol!

Aye, this is the relevant clip for those who haven't seen it. Note the steam around the upper parts of the steam chests as the throttle is opened and closed.
Im a heavy machine operator... And now i watch in-deph train videos like a kid watching cartoons and are hungry to learn more and more!! Love the vids❤️
I am also a heavy equipment operator and so much same I’m like I must run a locomotive at some point in my life
"these are the bongos"... Hyce, you're the guy in the friend group I aspire to be XD
Uncle Tony sent me !!
The more I learn about the more in-depth pieces on steam locomotives and how they work as well as what it takes to maintain these things, the more fascinating and the more amazing they get. It is the best drug I've ever had, hats off to you guys who work to keep these things running.
This is exactly what the C&TSR should do the first day of the Fireman school.
I'll see if I can pass that on. :)
@@Hyce777 I suggested it, but the response not what I expected. That was last year so maybe the attitude has changed??? Thanks Hyce.
1:28 that bicyclists timing 🤌
Special request: if you ever find yourself in Illinois, swing by IRM and do a 360 of 1630
Would need to chat with some folks at the IRM, I'm sure, and I'd need to learn all the bits and bobs... lol!
@@Hyce777 the steamshop guys out there are pretty cool. They also have a facebook page. 🙃
@@Hyce777 I can put you in touch with Jason (the head of the steam department there) if that helps
@@greggorytame6672 uh, yeah it does, lol!
Thanks for another outstanding video, Hyce. My parents were born in Denver in the early 1920s and my late father worked for the Denver & Rio Grande from 1937 until he retired in mid-1986 (with a three-year hiatus overseas with the US Army during WWII). It warms my heart to see your exceedingly interesting and well-informed content on railroading in general and on the D&RGW, in particular. The D&RGW was extremely good to my father and our family and I will never forget how much he loved the work and the people. I never miss one of your contributions and I'll be certain to keep my old (I'm presently on my 65th lap around the sun) eyes and ears tuned for the next one. I think I see the headlight, now. Carry on, sir.
Cheers mate! I bet he had some brilliant stories. I always heard the Grande was a good employer.
It is humbling to consider that this wealth of information, ably presented by a knowledgeable enthusiast, is provided at no charge.
Many thanks, Hyce. I learn a lot from you.
8:55 couldn’t help yourself could ya?😂
Thank you for walking around and touching all of the parts of the choochoo so that we can live vicariously through you 🤣
Excellent tour young man. And to think that all this was all designed on pencil and paper and built without computerized machine tools - and it all worked, and worked well.
Sweet video. UTG, Tony's channel sent me here. Outstanding!
I think hyce is "Married" to this locomotive 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
who knew Hyce could play the Railroad Bongo's?
This is really neat - Ive been a geek who has been obsessed with trains all my life. so I had some vauge idea of the sort of machinery that went into even a small "modern" engine but getting explanations for all this stuff and getting a close look at how all this comes together and works is amazing.
When a steam locomotive has more creature comforts than my car.....
Can’t say as much on ease of use, though.
Love the suspension footage. Imagine what a locomotive mechanical engineer would have given to be able to watch this in slow mo and rewind back when.
Absolutely my thoughts. I've never been able to see that myself without the cameras.
hyce, you are the luckies man in the world, feel and be able to touch and working on it those history
6:54 *fresh pots* 😂
It's our favorite locomotive
It's K-37 class 491!
Always thought steam trains looked wierd with the handle at the front of the smoke box because it looks like it’s smiling lmao
A master at your trade - been a member at the CRRM since 1983, and your videos just make me fall in love with the place all over again. Thank you so much for doing these!
Far from a master, but I appreciate the sentiment! Glad you enjoy the museum as well.
Love this vid Hyce, would love to see an in depth look at the tunnel motor. And 346 and 20. Actually, basically any locomotive at the CRRM would make for a cool video haha
I AM a pensioner from Danmark, Europe. I like your videos and all your details. My former wife is from Los Alamos, New Mexico
I love the video with the blow down valve I saw,you do not want to be in front of that when it's open,you will no longer have a face,thanks for the educational experience, can't wait for more!
8:53 nice beat Hyce XD better hope 491 isn't grouchy later
That shot on from the frame showing the inside wheels and the outside counterweights while moving was so cool!
6:54 491: I love how you said fresh pots 😅
Great and informative video.
Biggest thing I learned...
Peaches got back
We all know the drifting rod. It activates tank steering on all american locomotives when the ice on the lake has frozen over the tracks
get. out. lmao
We have an old Locomotive running around from the 1920s here in melbourne, and multiple times last year they caught fire.
More of these would be cool
You know Hyce, you should do one of these on the Big boy
I don't think I could! For many reasons. Lol
Love to see more similar vids!
25:52 I was in the cab of 3415 in Abilene Kansas,
All manor of things is an understatement.
Thank you, really enjoyed watching!!!
An excellent overview Mark. By watching this video, I really begin to understand all the various parts of the loco. I’m going to watch this a few times and quiz myself as to the part names and functions. Lots of fun homework! Nice detail shots and succinct descriptions are useful for this novice. You’re a good teacher, Professor Mark. I’m really getting a first rate education. Again thanks for another valuable video.
At 5:06 I see one of our companies mud flaps in the shop from Kelley Trucking!!
We have used those rerailing frogs and butterflies before... last time I remember was when the frameless tank car came off the rails in the cut.
I have too, lol. Goose derailed.
@@Hyce777
These things were SOOO beautiful. Really awesome. Thank you so much for this.
As 491 is my favorite locomotive, I loved watching this and would love to see some more Loco 360 videos. (I watched this way late cause school sucks, why can’t I just learn about locomotives)
Very nice walk around of the locomotive. I''ve been playing with steam in one form or another all my life, and I learned a couple things today!
Thank you!
I've been getting into my country's narrow gauge locomotives recently(3ft6in) and love seeing in depth videos of the different loco's designs that are out there. Can't wait for the next video on the others there at the Colorado railroad museum!
Wow, this channel is wonderful!
I certainly enjoy this kind of series, learning about the mechanics of things and how they work is pretty interesting
beautiful machine!
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos
Thanks Hyce! Very interesting.
Love the full walk around. I think you explained the snifter valve odd though. Closes under cylinder valve pressure. Opens when no pressure to stop a vacuum being created.
Correct, if I explained it otherwise it was due to a lack of fresh pots.
Your instructional videos are the best.
More videos like this please
Thanks hyce, this is what gets me through everything
I really enjoyed learning how a steam engine works a very good informative presentation explained in terms that a person that knows nothing about steam locomotives can understand look forward to seeing other videos Pete from australia
Well done video oh yes more would be in order. Thank you
Thanks! Just returned from a ride on engine 81 at the yard in Ely, Nevada. This video added so much more to my understanding of how these locomotives operate. Look forward to seeing your other videos.
Another great shop talk with Hyce, always a great way to spend some time
Before I started watching the video,I want you to do more of them,absolutely love all your educational videos, thanks so much
Great tour thank you
There is just something about narrow gauge locomotives that is just awesome when i think steam locomotives D&RGW just pops in my head there is just something about the equipment that hits different its more nostalgic your so lucky to get the hands on experience im so glad you take the time to make these videos so i can experience it to some day i want to take a trip and see them in person until then thank you for the videos!!
Fantastic,each mechanism taken individually is straightforward but getting them to work together,jeez cheers big chap aw the best from sunny troon
Fantastic video! Great job!
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge about the working parts of this locomotive. I've been enthralled with steam railroading since I was young. And today at 50 nothing has changed about the excitement these magnificent machines bring to me. Only wish here in Wisconsin there were more friendly locomotive groups to belong to. Your videos are awesome 👌.
Hyce I only found your Channel about a week ago but I have really enjoyed these videos. Keep up the good work
Cheers Bryant :) welcome.
I like in some of the clips you show us I like how you can hear the valve gear directing the steam
Excellent video. Very informative. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Really love the explanation of a locomotive, gives me a greater appreciation of thier beauty!
Nothing like a steam locomotive cab (smallish ones at least) in the winter, you find yourself roasting on one side and freezing on the other.
Too real, lol
Here in the UK all our steam locos right up till the diesels took over the lamps were oil burning ones that mounted on little poles called a "lamp iron"
Only diesels got the privilege of electrically operated headlamps
I love the LOCO 360 idea. Obviously you will probably do one for both RGS 20 and the 346, but here's to hoping you may can do it for a couple of the other locomotives y'all have around too. Barring the ability to clear the rodent infestation out of a particular Ding Dong Ditch loco lol.
This video is perfect! Just what I was looking for...someone to explain all of the pipes, valves, and other controls, so that I can better understand how steam engines work. Most other videos show the main parts, but this one has the detail that I like. Thanks....thumbs up and new sub. Need to go see the other videos of yours now.
1:26 that Guy almost got wet by the blowdown. Lmao
It's always a joy watching your videos hyce.. I've had the luxury of visiting the museum In the past but this year's been tricky and I havnt been able to visit with my nieces and nephews this year for any rides. I hope to visit again soon though!
Dog-dangit Hyce with that ponytail and beard you're starting to look like a young Willie Nelson!
Wonderful video! Now 346.
of course :)
Thank you for posting a detailed video.
hi hyce Love you'er video i like to see all of the steam train i love steam trains.
Fresh pots!!
Very very nice walkaround, I've very recently found your channel and have instantly gotten hooked
Cheers mate!
your the first person ive seen play a steam locomotives cylinder cover like a bongo
These awesome videos make me really wish I still had easy access to my tractors to film them. Unfortunately they’re halfway across the country not getting the love they deserve
We need you to model a 3d steam loco! LOL. You know your stuff! I'd love even just ONE properly modeled and fully functional steam engine in a sim! Every valve, every sound, every visual. SOME DAY....
One can dream. I'd play the shit out of that game.
Oh wow! So much info here to nerd out on....I'm going to have to watch this a few times to even begin to digest all of this amazing info!!
very nice video.
I made two D&RGW characters in my own series that revolves around a red narrow gauge tank engine named John. Known as John and friends. The D&RGW twins are known by their names No.4 (Devin), No.5 (Denver) who are both k-37s. But there a mix of C-19. And K-28. Plus a mix of T-12. They were built both in 1927. They are working for the NC&TVSR. They were built by Baldwin. There numbers from the works are: Devin: 900004, Denver: 900005. That’s them but I love the vid keep it up!
I love peaches. She is too chonky to be missed.
I really liked this in-depth look at a K-37's working parts. I would strongly recommend this video series to anyone who is into trains, especially steam trains. I would also suggest using some lighting when filming inside the cab, as this was really dark. I'm currently nearing completion of a live steam 2-6-0 modern Mogul in 1.5" scale, so I'm pretty familiar with most of the things you covered here, but it was still very entertaining and informative.
Cheers Ben. Yeah, definitely a learning piece for me after filming. The GoPro usually does a pretty good job of covering light changes but this was too much I guess. A mounted light for next time.
Would love to see the inside of one of the air pumps. Single or compound. It took me several trips to the library as a kid, renting steam books, to understand how they worked.
It's not often we get them torn apart, but you bet I'll be there if and when!
I would LOVE more of this! But maybe consider a ring lamp or something mounted to the camera to help with the dark shots!
Definitely something I need to think of for next time. I'll see what I can come up with.
Please more Loco360's ❤
I wonder why Steam Locomotives never went to an enclosed loop system ( Like Ships ) seems like not having all that water /steam around metal would have reduced maintenance and improved range Cool Videos !!!
Can we talk about how the dude on the bicycle at 1:27 was 2 seconds away from being vaporized? 😂
Yes many more
Very nicely done! And very interesting.
A very fun and interesting show and tell. Thanks!
Awsome.
New video! LEEEETSSsSsS GooOoOoOO!
i know standard gauge isn't any less safe within operating parameters, but dang it looks super goofy and sketchy coming from a city with pure broad gauge.
geez , the maintenance on these things was tremendous
THEY WERE GREEN!
