Worked on a UD18 in a brookville locomotive quite a bit started out sounding and looked like a injector but toward the end sounded great. Nice Work ,enjoy your videos
Beautiful winter scenery 🤘. The staff did an outstanding job filming all the cat train fun at the top of the world. Those cross hitches really keep the sleighs lined up well.
Morning from Gagetown, Blaine sure is sounding good, it’s such an awesome machine to see pulling the sleighs . Great video xena from the back watching the cat train following Blaine. Thansk for the video. Hope everyone has a great day 🇨🇦🇺🇸🍺
yes i went to florida at xmas time in 1993. it was just not the same not having the snow because that is all we know is snow and more snow here. happy new years too thansk
You have your own Polar Express, lol...too cool, man...new to the channel and been bing watchin the last few months of episodes and lovin em.yall are some good people. Happy Boxing Day and New year from Southern Ohio
Never gave it a thought how much snow the tooth pick trees hold until you bumped it with the smaller cats looked like there was enough snow to fill up the operator compartment hope you had merry Christmas king staff and don’t forget Sir Rodney
From my experience over 45 years as a heavy truck and equipment mechanic it's best to keep fuel tanks as full as possible , in the cold weather any part of the tank that doesn't have fuel in it is going to condensate and create frost with temperature changes, the more air space you have the more frost you'll have and when it warms up it turns to water and lots of frozen fuel problems. I've actually put my hand in diesel truck tanks and scooped out a handful of frost to prove the point to customers that thought they were getting bad fuel. If your fill cap is big enough to shine a flash light in and look at the inside of the tank you'll see the frost. I hope this help you in some way.
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Blaine sounds excellent pulling the train. Xena, you did an awesome job filming the progress of the cat train, I could even hear the shushing of the skis in the snow, really cool guy's. With the fuel timing adjustment Blaine really does sound dialed in Joey, you certainly know your stuff 👍 thanks for another awesome video guys ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦
Your moisture problem is coming from condensation in the fuel tank. Heat and cold variation cause water to form on the steel tanks. If your fuel tanks have a water collecting bowl on the bottom, drain them 2 or 3 times a year. If they don't have one, get one on them and it will eliminate your water in fuel problems. Yes, this is the learning channel.
You are right. They say to fill fuel tanks to the top to prevent condensation from building up, but it's pointless on a machine that you don't "work" everyday. There are commercially available water separators and water traps if need be. I lost an injection pump in 1986 to water in my fuel in my 1981 Diesel Cadillac. After rebuilding the pump, I purchased a RaCor (brand) fuel system water separator and it came with a filter too. After that, I never lost another injection pump. The kit came with a "Water In Fuel" warning light that you could mount where the driver could see it if it came on too.
Recently in a video I saw old footage of what looked like those same sleighs carrying giant logs stacked 15ft high or more being pulled by a Lombard steam land train. The train had the same track setup as the Linn and the same looking front skis and steering wheel in front of the boiler.
yes that was just before they switched to the gas motor and small machines to haul log. Lombard and Linn were friends at one time so that is why they look the same thansk
I would sure like to get this kind of content for my channel, BigAl California , Zene you are having. Ton of fun with your dad, nice ,BigAl California thanks
cat swings but when i was writting my book Cat Train Newsletters, we could not used Cat Swings because it is a naughty club in detroit when doing a google search. so we use cat trains thansk
The crawler ran great once you adjusted it. Those sleighs are amazing. Imagine the work they did over the years. You should hire Rambo to fly his fake mocked up Hollywood style Soviet gunship (really a French helicopter) and chase Dick away. You would never see Dick again, lol.
First time watching your channel. That was some beautiful footage watching you pull the sleighs through the snow covered pine trees ! How were you able to film the sleighs from the rear like that getting all of those cool shots from different angles ?
@kingofobsolete4789 you're welcome it's an honor to be part of the Kingdom 😅 my cousin has been watching you guys for a month now and highly recommended I check out your videos we both have the same taste. I'll definitely be watching more hope you and your daughter have a wonderful New Year !!!
thank you for joining us. being the King of Obsolete, the Kingdom is a gated community down by the tracks on the outskirts of WHO-ville(lynn lake) manitoba canada. thansk
I was told on old diesels to add 1 oz or so of ATF in the diesel tank per 5 gallons.. it keeps the pump and injection lubed and cleans the system... any truth of that?
it is called a dream catcher which is computerized loop looking for minerals in the bedrock here. the dream catcher means nothing but dream because it is stock bump and dump thansk
back in the day the td-18 would pull 7 loaded sleigh with 10 tons of fuel on each sleigh. they traveled on flat ground and across frozen lakes so stopping was not a problem thansk
You could , if they would let you,,, put tops and seating bOn those flat cars and get the fans up there to ride around with you in the Kingdom and on the snow ,,,that would be a great fan sleigh ride , , BigAl California thanks
Nice video , I have question - when it first start smoke comes from 2 exhaust pipes. later only one - why ? It is start on gasoline end next you must switch to diesel ?>>>
that is the trade mark of the IH injection pumps being front and back plungers. we start on direct diesel with the upgraded new style starter. once warmed up all the injectors are happy and no smoke thansk
the helicopter has the dream catcher underneath which is a computer thing looking for minerals in the bedrock which they do every couple of years. usually Dick flies over the Kingdom low and fast so when he crashes he will land on me or my house.
No I don’t drink that’s , but no you were walking on drunk ground with snow on it, lol the ground was drunk, not us right, praise Jesus Christ grace amen BigAl California thanks.
@@Yukonguy327 Get caught doing that, you'll face a trial and likely do some time in prison, which in Canada is basically Club Fed, but then it stays permanently on your resume.

Worked on a UD18 in a brookville locomotive quite a bit started out sounding and looked like a injector but toward the end sounded great. Nice Work ,enjoy your videos
needs more fine tuning as we use the motor and make it happy with pulling thansk
Great job, I like that with the 4 sleds behind the cat
Thanks
yes that is the way to go winter freighting, travel on top of the snow and go fast thansk
Another great video. Lovely sounds and visuals and it was impressive to see that little cat pulling that load through those narrow trails.
thank you, that is what cat trains were all about narrow trails and the sleighs self steering to follow along thansk
Beautiful winter scenery 🤘. The staff did an outstanding job filming all the cat train fun at the top of the world. Those cross hitches really keep the sleighs lined up well.
yes 150year old idea on self steering sleighs make it easy to get through the narrow trails thansk

Thanx for the uplifting video. You have an awesome stable of toys to play with.
Thanx again

Really love the action shots kind of like being on a train
yes that is why they were called cat trains because they just followed along thansk
Enjoyed the video Joey and Xena! Blaine looks great with a train of sleighs in tow.
thank you, the td-18s were the biggest cat around at the time thansk
Amazing to watch from a place that gets no snow. I believe that a nice warm day definition is subjective. Happy New Year.

Crazy cool stuff man great video

cool video those cats are powerful machines they are worth the work id say. Thats my thaughts any how, take care.
yes they were good cats back then and only broken when something broke not a computer code, lol thansk

yes natures way of tree trimming but lots of snow breaking off the weaker branches. merry xmas too thansk
enjoyed it!
thansk
Just love watching old machinery run like a top.Good job on the tune up.
thank you, took a while now it runs a lot better thansk
Dream catchers catch bad dreams. At least that part is good :) and awesome cat train 👍🏼
yes they also catch bad dream for stock pump and dump because they are looking at the same minerals for the last 80 years. thansk
@kingofobsolete4789 what is the heck is wrong with these people? 🤔
Fun times, thanks

yes that is true, we think the fuel cap is leaking and letting the melted snow get in. thansk

Saw the video and I was looking for the caboose to that train. Hell it probably wouldnt be a bad idea. Wood stove and bunk for those long trips.

I’m guessing that is some kind of instrument they are using to find the minerals they want to mine that the helicopter is carrying around.
yes they have been doing it since the 1950s and still not mining, it is stock bump and dump. thansk
Same thing they're doing w,/ drones & wxr balloons in the U.S.
Time to set off the carnival fireworks when Dick is flying nearby.

Do you hual fuel for the town with all those tanks and barrels

With today's fuel it actually pulls moisture into it. I found if you get just heating fuel you won't get that biodiesel.
up here we only get the best fuels because it is cold all the time. we think the fuel cap is letting melting snow in thansk

thansk
I was told on old diesels to add 1 oz or so of ATF in the diesel tank per 5 gallons.. it keeps the pump and injection lubed and cleans the system... any truth of that?
yes we add the 2 stroke oil to lube up the pump and injectors. the new fuel of today is dry thansk
What is that thing on the helicopter doing?
using computers to find minerals in the bedrock which is big dreams thansk
What is dangling under the helicopter?
it is called a dream catcher which is computerized loop looking for minerals in the bedrock here. the dream catcher means nothing but dream because it is stock bump and dump thansk
I skipped ahead but it looked like a fuel run, if that tractor will pull all 4 of those loaded can you still stop? Cool video hope all is well.

Whats the dream catcher under Dycks chopper?
computerized thing looking for minerals in the bedrock, obsolete like a B&W TV thansk

thank you for joining us, they are looking for nickel, copper, zinc and gold which is the same as they were doing since the 1950s. thansk
