I love how they are slowly showing more and more of 1255 as time goes on and restoration work is getting closer and closer to completion. Can’t wait for the grand reveal. Whenever that will be.
So much of this video I related to so heavily. Not through volunteering at any museums, but instead through being part of the New England, Berkshire, and Western at the RPI Model Railroad club. We were working on moving the railroad from the basement of a dorm to a new location last year, and right as we started to gain traction through all the bureaucracy of the administration, everything shut down. While we’ve been on campus this year, we still haven’t even seen our railroad in 2 years. Seeing these kinds of stories told through shows like Full Steam Ahead though gives me reassurance that we aren’t alone, and also hope that things are getting better. Thanks for all the work you guys put into your shows! Love the videos! Stay safe and healthy!!
@@HighIron yup, we’re working through things as we go, and we’re actually (fingers crossed) getting ready to start work on participating in Walthers National Model Railroad Build-Off, but everything is up in the air right now, especially with case numbers on campus rising once again. I’m still optimistic though! At the very least, we should be able to start real work in getting the railroad set up again in the fall!
Once again you've made another masterpiece and something that many of us train fans can enjoy and appreciate during this hard time. But we will all come together and pull though and one day reunite and enjoy the fun of steam once again.
Here’s an idea for the next episode: With cases rising, attendance to the GMRM declines significantly, and they become desperate for money. Eventually, a newcomer introduces the idea of running freight trains, using the Strasburg Rail Road and Mount Hood Railroad as examples of lines that primarily cater to tourists and run freight on the side.
Outstanding job on this episode! I think this does an amazing job at showing how even through hard times, hobbies such as railroad preservation can still be active.
Great job. It was really something to see after all that’s happened, and at 18:08 I see what your referencing with that documentary video that would be interesting to see for real one day.
Wow! Now this was a nice surprise! This video really just goes to show how Railroads across the country had to deal with this crisis, and above all else, the people who fight tooth and nail to keep our history alive, even in these trying times. Seeing Twila's struggle to keep the line from being shut down, and not to mention, the character development she saw in this story really helped to make this one a heavy-hitter! Ultimately, I want to tip my hat of to all the voice actors for an excellent performance, and to all the volunteers who continued to keep the trains running, even in these trying times.
"When is 1255 going to be finished?" "Where's your mask? Where's your wristband?" "Oh I'm not riding I'm chasing" "OUT" Well that's one way to get rid of a foamer XD
Coming back to this episode, the scene where they're deep-cleaning the inside of the train really makes it look like it takes place in 2020. By January 2021, it was proven that the majority of COVID cases were caused by airborne transmission, meaning that cleaning surfaces was actually expensive and time-consuming.
This was amazing. i have some contacts at the d&sng and they portrayed similar ideas about reopening there train. Which personally makes me surprised at how accurate this was. Good job Brian good job.
@@HighIron well weather you like it or not. Your content is viewed by lots of people outside of the exclusive few who had the luck to be able to purse that career. I certainly am one of those people and you still manage to entertain me :)
Glad to see a new episode. Still though this pandemic sure has ruined alot of our plans and events we had for 2020 and for 2021 so far. The 1 thing that effected for me the most was my final year of high school and the start of college for me thx to the pandemic, not to mention train related plans I had. But fortunately I'll be able to do some I have for 2021 such as joining my Uncle when he heads to Durango & Silverton, Cumbres & Toltec, & the Grand Canyon Railway too maybe. Even during these hard times we can til manage things if we try.
The animation keeps getting better and better :) And speaking about film recommendations. Here's an interesting movie that's for adults and children alike. It was made in Denmark and it's called: "Olsen Banden på sporet" which translates to: "Olsen gang on the track". It's an comedy/crime movie made in 1975 directed by Erik Balling and starring Ove Sprogøe. The film was the seventh in the Olsen-banden-series. An other recommendation is "Człowiek na torze" which translates to "Man on the track". This movie originates from my country. Man on the Tracks is a 1956 drama film by Andrzej Munk. I won't spoil the rest, you have to see it for yourself :) Other than that. Keep up the awesome work! Hope you guys are safe from COViD. Greetings from Poland!
Not gonna lie, if somewhere by me played a movie drive in style with a big ol steam engine behind me I'd go. Or any train really. What's really cool is that I worked on the railroad that the train part of planes trains and automobiles was filmed on, that would be awesome to play a movie off of the engine that was in it. I should talk to the owner about that actually XD
Amazing work as always from your crew! If I may, Train movies I'd recommend are "The General" of 1926, "The Silver Streak" of 1934, and "Runaway Railway" of 1966
I hope the next episode comes soon, I'd like to see 1255's return and the comeback of the museum after the pandemic. Also, I personally took a dislike to many of the things Gracie said, she doesn't seem to understand the importance of preservation we railfans see.
I was pleasantly surprised with this series. This flash cartoon is better written than some actual shows and shows intelligence in the writing. I also like that the female characters are well written and not just there as tokens.
Nice video - 2020 was something else. We ended up making a lot more TH-cam content for the Museum than we were originally planning!
Pretty much! Every little bit helps.
Just a question is that wig wag coming to guys?
@Golden Railway Colorado RR museum is a real Railroad but the railroad in this video is not real
Animators deserve a raise and the voice actors! AMAZING
Thanks! That's what the Patreon is for!
Here's a film recommendation, family viewing and all. The best railway film ever produced 'The Titfield Thunderbolt.'
Good taste.
@@HighIron what route is this
@@sherrydunbar2041 they probably built the route for the series
The funny thing is over a hundred years ago (1918-1920) The Spanish flu was going on and passenger trains were like this
Except people were too ignorant to wear masks and stand apart.
@@Contrabasstubone on an unrelated note in sanfransisco you could get a 5$ fine for not wearing a face mask in public
@@Vinyl_guy interesting
@@Vinyl_guy A man was actually killed in San Francisco by a cop during the Spanish Flu because he refused to wear a mask.
“No I’m just chasi-
“OUT!”
I love how they are slowly showing more and more of 1255 as time goes on and restoration work is getting closer and closer to completion. Can’t wait for the grand reveal. Whenever that will be.
Great work guys. This really showcases how railroad museums and tourist lines keep innovating even during this pandemic.
We agree!

You too! I'm quite a fan of the NEB&W myself, so hopefully something gets worked out.

"Where's your mask? Where's your wristband?"
"Oh I'm not riding I'm chasing"
"OUT" I never laughed so hard 😭😭
same
This scene gave me cancer
A master piece of Full Steam Ahead, i dream of becoming part of a turist railway.
I’ve worked on 3 of them
It’s overrated

Great, can't wait till the next one. Keep up the great work and keep highballing!

Yes! A new FSA episode!
great work of this video. keep up the good work and hope your doing well this year
Outstanding job on this episode! I think this does an amazing job at showing how even through hard times, hobbies such as railroad preservation can still be active.
13:50 I don’t know why but that scene sends chills down my spine
Improving Animations. This gets even better and better with each vid!
Thanks! That's the goal!
@@HighIron 2021 is full of surprises. Keep it up man!
Great job. It was really something to see after all that’s happened, and at 18:08 I see what your referencing with that documentary video that would be interesting to see for real one day.
Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe one day... :P
Love the references to the other friends in the Trainz community
Wow, cool High Iron. How did you the animations so great. Thanks LJL

Well that's one way to get rid of a foamer XD
nice to see you around here as well :D
Aye, I didn't know Twila had it in her.☺

Love the G&D reference!
This was amazing. i have some contacts at the d&sng and they portrayed similar ideas about reopening there train. Which personally makes me surprised at how accurate this was.
Good job Brian good job.
Thanks very much! It's people like those at D&SNG and other tourist railroads that I make these types of videos for!
@@HighIron well weather you like it or not. Your content is viewed by lots of people outside of the exclusive few who had the luck to be able to purse that career. I certainly am one of those people and you still manage to entertain me :)
This truly was a masterpiece Brian, thanks for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work on the animation! This video looks good so far!
Thanks, we're trying to make each one better than the previous!
1:34 - 1:39 I fully agreed with her, trains are also my hobbie.
Aye, I do have other hobbies, but railfanning is the one that means the most to me.
Full Steam Ahead Episode 3?
Glad to see a new episode. Still though this pandemic sure has ruined alot of our plans and events we had for 2020 and for 2021 so far.

Really well done
This is so good
Full steam ahead is puffin out videos left an right. Well more than SJT
We need more of these
We'll see what we come up with. :P
@@HighIron maybe some more documentaries about railroads

Other than that. Keep up the awesome work! Hope you guys are safe from COViD. Greetings from Poland!
I like the intro it kind of just like the Hilda one
This series is very different, unlike series that usually focus on the locomotives, which usually talk, it focuses on the people.
Thanks, that was one of the goals with this series.
Why are these characters so relatable > ->. Great voice acting and love the episode! Hope y'all creating these are staying happy and healthy.
Thanks, we're doing our best!
very nice video

We need more greater milliard vids
I think it’d be cool if No. 30’s historical significance was that it was the only G&D loco to survive the great fire of 1973
Yay more FSA video's
tbh id watch this if it was a show
19:08 the funny thing is that Joel just announced the 2nd Kickstarter campaign for another season of MST3K!
I love these stories, probably because there so real I can relate and enjoy!
9:50 *INSERT Tyrone Saying Get Out*
I hope the next episode comes soon, I'd like to see 1255's return and the comeback of the museum after the pandemic.
Also, I personally took a dislike to many of the things Gracie said, she doesn't seem to understand the importance of preservation we railfans see.
How long till this returns or was this this a contract.
11:16,Mat, what did you do.
Next
13:33, 72, we have a problem,13:37 13:48
9:50 🤣
Nice, and good work, loving this series so far
And 2nd lol
Thanks!
It was too good to pass up. :P
Why did they yell at that guy? He just wanted to chase the epic six 11 train leaving the station and he had to chase it. Mean1!
Plz make more videos like this
Note to self: find replacement for #30
Why does 72 have the same whistle as the FEF from trainz forge.
Well in-universe I would imagine they might've swapped out the whistle with something like that on the FEF
@@whatthefunk05 Makes sense I guess
Hope this series continues, I really like it.
I was pleasantly surprised with this series. This flash cartoon is better written than some actual shows and shows intelligence in the writing. I also like that the female characters are well written and not just there as tokens.
What game is this?
Oh yeah great movie :)
How long does it take for these videos to be made?
This is just amazing! I love it! (Also one question: do u have an Instagram? Because i don’t have Facebook and i really wanna follow)
Is this tane or trainz 2019
So why argentina?
The animation is good but sometimes looks awkward, otherwise I love this video, great voice acting
O U T
lol the one thing minnesota is known for besides prince and being hella cold
Liz as Twila fits her perfectly, I swear the two almost look similar to each other for some reason.
UP 844 whistle lol
This is a better cartoon than anything Disney or cartoon network is making!
Good family film?
Unstoppable.
Cool animation if you do this more you will definitely even be better!
When will Full Steam Ahead return?
Wow they were rude to that dude trying to ask about the locomotive I would be so mad at them and I hate the virus
Ther ewere probably clear signs that you have to wear a mask and that only passengers are allowed on the platform
Ok so
@@westernrailroadcompanyprod4449 well so hes basically aready got his polite warning, and they dont want a fine for not covering covid rules...
Ok calm down
what about some train horror movies
OUUT
can i offer you a nice egg in this trying time
Can you guys add Sir Topham Hatt to the series. I'd love to see him boss around the naughty engines!
No.
@@HighIron XD
First.
Second to react!
@Max L.R.S gaming Yeah yeah...
You’re not wrong
Lmao
Awwww shoot
7:05 what? It costs 300 dollars just to replace a fucking window what kinda shit is that
AAAAAA
Never mind my discord got hacked:(
Now,instead of only the boiler heat,you can sufficate under a mask,YAY
*O U T*
