    This is one of the many reasons why I love the live steam stuff so much. You get the most outlandish combinations of railways and classes that would never happen on the actual lines.

    A couple questions as someone that knows nothing but is fascinated by these. 1.) How much are these? 2.) Who makes these and where do you buy them? 3.) How much HP are they? 4.) how much weight can they pull?

    • @TheSteamChannel
      @TheSteamChannel  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Very expensive. $10,000 plus for a switcher- $15,000-$20,000 for a road diesel. Steam-you don’t. You build them. Unless you can cut a check well in excess of $40,000-50,000...running into the $100,000’s for larger engines. This is not a hobby for check writers...this is a hobby for tradesmen. If you don’t develop fabrication skills this equipment won’t stay in service long-especially Steam. Your other two questions vary by engine so they are hard to answer.

      It depends on the engine you’re talking about....weight would vary greatly. A 4-8-4 northern locomotive can be up to 2,400 pounds + the tender. A ten wheeler might only be 400-500.

      Yes, there is definitely a lot of skill needed- and stick to it. You can buy raw castings and drawings for a select few engine types from Little Engines. Some do scale down drawings- but guys that build to scale in this hobby generally have nice looking engines that don’t run well. You have to overbuild them and build them for functionality.

      @@JungleYT build the parts sturdier and larger than normal. For example, it's not uncommon for "scale" locomotives to have oversized rods and bearings as well as different designs of boilers and cylinders from simply scaled down versions of their prototypes. You need to do this to get engines that run well because following good steam locomotive design practice is not necessarily just scaling down the prototype but also understanding what you can do within those basic dimensions to give you a good running locomotive that will follow food design practice but give you a reasonable representation-model of your prototype.
