What we plan to do with the 62

- I had to change the title since so many of you think we are building a two foot gauge Berkshire. Sorry to mislead. I was simply saying that in outward appearance it may look similar to one but it will always be an 0-4-0.
Now I wanna see that drawing of the 62 as a berk!

@YoungstownSteelHeritage wow that's fun!
Oh that’s gonna look good
@@YoungstownSteelHeritageIt’s adorable! I love it!
Oh my god I love it it’s adorable
I would absolutely love to see the 62 as a Berkshire!

It works so much better than i was imagining, that is neat
This is the most ludicrous idea for a rebuild I've ever heard... I love it
Amazing I hope one day to see all these locomotives under their own power once again 😊
you should try to get a modle railroad manufacture to make them in hon30 scale and have some provides go to the restoration of the prototypes
would love a RTR north american hon30 locomotive
We have been looking into that. R Duck Locomotive Works is developing a J&L Porter model though.
@@YoungstownSteelHeritage im talking one with an electric motor I know bachman is getting back into hon30 so that might be the best option right now
With how many locomotives your getting your eventually gonna have to build your own roundhouse and turntable for them!
Yess
Those lil' things look amazing. Oddly, they remind me almost of a PRR A5. Can't wait to see those little buggers running again. Post again soon!
It reminds me of an A5 to
62:"YAY I BECOME A COOL BERKSHIRE, but at cosy of original body,"

We used a pair of pullers to hold down the safety valves when doing a hydro on our standard gauge Mikado. After the hydro, y’all might also consider doing an ultra sound of the pressure vessel to determine the thickness of the metal for the pressure vessel. We take 5 reading per square foot, each corner and the middle. If the governing body over your locomotives does not require it your insurance company probably will.
Certainly sounds like an interesting idea you've got for 62. Will be drawing you spoke of be shown on your social? I'm intrigued to see how it'll look.

I appreciate you crazy guys building a little railway.
Looking GREAT 👍
RON!!!
Still have those 136/140 lbs. D S tie plates
Sounds wonderful! Great to see some different ideas for the 0-4-0's!
**LGB has entered the chat** lol
Seriously though! I like the idea! Not too often you get folks willing to customize their steam locomotives!
Progress continues!
Two foot gauge Berkshire confirmed!
800 + of them if you're still interested.

Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley Railroad.
Sounds super cool! Can’t wait to see what the tender will look like
I absolute can't wait to see this when its completed
Look so Cool With Flying Number boards.
Hope you guys call it a baby Berk, it's very reminiscent of the LGB baby mikados as part of their g scale line
Hopefully to restore it and put it back into operation.
I see that you finally cut the opening into the end of the boxcar :)
Its been slow going on that project but now with the locomotive move out of the way we can get the rest of the track built and 58 into the boxcar by winter.
When you’ve got enough of the same engines floating around, that you can have fun with one engine.
I'd love to see a preliminary drawing of your proposal, love the idea, however, will it have the required adhesion on the driving wheels without the downward weight of full water tanks, to be able to work without slipping. Will you need to turn the tyres on the wheels, those flanges look rather small.
Could you please give us a tour of the whole project to bring us up to date
You are basically making the tyco 0-4-0 tender locomotive!
A Nickel Plate Berkshire is a 2-8-4 steam locomotive. How do y’all plan to add 4 driving wheels, 2 pilot wheels, and 4 trailing wheels on 5 axles to the 62?
It will always be an 0-4-0 but the outward appearance of the locomotive may have some resemblance to Lima superpower.
@@YoungstownSteelHeritage Dat’s a pretty good stretch of one’s imagination, LOL. FYI: The names of steam locomotives are based on their wheel arrangements. We have a standard gauge 0-6-0 and I would never think it looks anything like our standard gauge 2-8-2 Mikado.
Regardless of how y’all look at it, I will follow y’all’s efforts to get 62 running again and good luck on the project.
@billmorris2613 obviously you do not understand what I am talking about. All I said was that it would look similar due to the way we are arranging some of the appliances. That is all!
The air pump shields also give me ERIE vibes...
Does this mean in the future you may throw some leading and trailing trucks on it? 🙃
No it will always be an 0-4-0
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 5 Sept 23.
Nice big cylinders for loco of this size 🙂
I've seen the render and I really just do not like it. The main problems for me is the pilot having an actual cow catcher, and the wheels still being goofy porter mining ones.
Excellent !
Ambitious!
You should restore them and run them on the mainline ...
How many of these types of Locomotive were made?
Any word on the issue with the state making you folks get special amusement ride certification? I know you were trying to appeal the classification. Wish you the best of luck and thanks for sharing the videos.
Apply modern steam technology like lempor exhaust and GPCS etc
How's the ordeal with the ag department going?
that would be cool, a 2 foot gauge berkshire. it would be the first of it's kind. heck yeah.
It will NOT be a Berkshire, just have some cosmetic similarities to them.
well that will still be cool 😀@@YoungstownSteelHeritage
YOU GREEDY! VERY GREEDY! TOO MANY LOCO! GREEDY, GREEDY! 🤣
But seriously, looking good. Wishing you all the best with the work ahead of you. 😊
You guys need to sell me one of the locomotives
No.62 as a Berkshire? I like the idea.
Still will be an 0-4-0. Just borrowing some design characteristics
@@YoungstownSteelHeritage works for me
What material are tubes made of??
Do they expand at different rate then boiler??
If so ,Can they expand too fast and cause damage??
Tubes are made of steel, same as the boiler. They can expand and contract at a different rate, which is why we generally warm the boiler up slowly over a couple of hours.
Just give him a beer
Make it a berk!!!!
welp. now I really want to see this..

I just want to see underatted locomotive alive
In the future
I think more connective track needs to be laid soon, all those beauties are eating up your available track it seems?
A 2 foot gauge Berkshire would be an interesting critter, but something like a 2-6-2 would be more appropriate for a steel mill road. Please keep in mind your Mission Statement of recording the steel industry. You've been slipping away from this lately, notably with the modern standard gauge cars.
There is a big misunderstanding that this locomotive's wheel arrangement will change to anything beyond being an 0-4-0. It will not, and apparently other comments that I have made to clarify that have been ignored. I simply said that the appearance of the locomotive will be reminiscent of a berkshire. That is all.
We have not slipped away from anything. We use standard gauge cars as structures. Cabooses as offices, boxcar as an enginehouse, tankcar for water storage. This is what we have planned to do all along. We do that because it is far cheaper than trying to construct buildings and of course we don't get nearly enough money to do that.
Do you intend to keep the other 2 as a in built condition as a born and raised yinzer id care alot to see at least one of then stay in original as built form
57 and 60 are to be restored in their as built condition.
Whats the hydo test psi !?
What happens when hydo testing and something lets go at max psi!?
Could someone get hurt bad if in wrong place where lets go or even death!?
Water being a noncompressible substance will just leak out. There is no expansive energy in water to cause an explosion. That is why we test with water pressure.
High boiler pressure and no weight makes it sound like you are building a burn out locomotive. Lol
62 as a berk sounds so weird
The Frisco Silver Dollar Line would like to know your location.
They are part of the Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum in Youngstown, Ohio.
Why not restore it to original and sell it!
oh I forgot the gauge of the railroad duuh
Make that steam engine unique.
Wait a 2-8-4 Berkshire on Narrow Gauge 💀💀 well that's new
Just borrowing some of the design features. It will still be an 0-4-0.
@@YoungstownSteelHeritage oh so a Berkshire but its a 0-4-0 I thought it was something else but I guess wrong???????? This locomotive hurts my brain
