Many thanks, Jim! Those brass locos are beautiful. I appreciated you dusting them off and giving them a run. Then, at the end of the video, I couldn't believe what you brought out. I have that 0-4-0 "Mather Hubbard" in the same box with corduroy cloth padding. For the life of me, I cannot remember when/where I picked it up. Currently a non-runner. Cleaning the wheels and the motor's commutator is on the 'to do' list.
I just purchased the exact same model several days ago on Ebay. Unfortunately it is unpainted so I have some work to do when I receive it. I liked this loco ever since I saw the prototype in person painted as SRR #4. Actually the real one's original number is 1187 the first number in the series. As you probably know that loco is now at Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugar Creek, OH. I hope to go see it when it is restored.
Wonderful locomotives, great video , very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thank you too Dave.

My pleasure Bruce. I must give them a full service and put them on the revenue roster. I found my Mather Hubbard on ebay many moons back.
Those are beautiful locomotives. The camelback locos are my favorite steam locomotive. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks Larry. It looks like we now have a Camelback Appreciation Society!!

@@lancomedic Thanks so much for that informstion. It looks like I have a renumbering job to do at some stage.
@@jimstrainsandstuff9539 Maybe not. You have a unique loco.
Jim, these are lovely little engines.. I'd love one myself one day... I love the scaffold bridge.. did you make that yourself...?
