FYI, a 1972 Chevy Nova will fit perfectly on train tracks. Let a few pounds out of the tires, and the rubber conforms to the rail profile - No steering required. Smoothest ride ever. I can't say how I know this..
Many years ago I was a member for a short time of the orange Empire Railway museum and I am so happy to see it on video again because I miss going there on weekends to enjoy the day. Great memories and video!
Ken Mitchroney is a LEGEND. He did great work and this program undersells his accomplishments. He's worth looking up. Besides being a roth and train fan, he also drew Ninja Turtles and led many wonderful animation projects.
Just like Ian, I would have been like a kid in a candy store with no limits! They have the most incredible collection of vehicles and 'stuff galore'. Who wouldn't be giggling like a school girl !!
Wowowowow. This is awesome. Thank you Ian and Ken, and all involved. You’ve opened your heart and talents to many that will tour this museum. I will check it out with my son and grandson
This reminds me of the mid 70s when I was building an old Harley flathead rigid frame and needed a brake pedal and a friend of mine worked in the L&N railroad maintenance shop and he went to the nines making me a pedal complete with needle bearing and polished to the max. I told him that with that kind of quality I was going to have to up my game. It turned out great though.
Ian finally got to play with real life Lionel trains and make one of the coolest rail cars to go down the tracks. Your fabrication skills are beyond belief. Everything seen here in this video was in its heyday during the industrial revolution and for him to reach back and recreate this utility rig and workhorse from old heavy scrap iron shows that no matter what he is challenged with he knows how to get the most interesting jobs done. And doesn't that thing look cool sitting on the tracks. Hot rod or not that's what a great imagination has to offer. The coolest thing is kids can look at this and see history from every corner. Although it wasn't shown in the picture that was presented I'd say the only thing missing from this right now is the old caboose rear swinging lantern that would have indicated to an approaching train that there was something on the tracks. I'm curious how this thing would have stopped though. This was a really cool video to watch not only will everybody that shows up and sees that thing in person think it's interesting but to keep that history alive is simply priceless. Keep up the good work Ian there's no slowing down on the cool factor with you and your skill set. Never in my life would I have guessed I would watch and enjoy a odball of a train being built thanks for sharing such a fun and exciting thing with all of us. Honestly you never cease to amaze me with the creativity you have. Cool Factor written on everything!
Ward Kimball had that Grizzly Flats barn and the Chloe locomotive in his back yard in San Gabriel, California for years off of Ardendale Ave. His neighbors must have loved him.🤪
I’m just sending this out. You haven’t done any videos in a little bit usually they come regularly. I’m just sending out a hope you’re doing all right. Sending your best wishes sincerely, Chuck.
* New subscriber here. First vid of yours I've seen. Cool build. Wow they do have a lot of sweet stuff sittin' around. I'm going have to spend some time going through your past builds. Cheers Buddy ! 👊😎👍
i worked in a machien shop before, one thing i was taught was to never leave you chuck key inside the spindle head when its on, your basically asking for trouble.
There's a lot of great information and entertainment. But I definitely believe I've heard so many times I've got enough stuff here to do it. Definitely a bit too much repeating of that line. We have figured out that you have enough stuff to do it.
my main ? is why does a train musam have old trucks that are practically no longer a vehicle of any type and have nothing to do with trains or rail road cars or locomotives
Railroads have been converting road cars to rail use since the Ford Model T. They were used as inspection vehicles, service trucks, even train replacements for railroads that were down on their luck.
The term that needs to be said is hot railing okay guys put your thinking Caps on next time you make a New video okay thanks again Charles Williams later on now you hear me ❤️🤍💙👁️🐿️⚡😎⚡❤️🙏❤️⚡
I got contacted by someone pretending to be Ian On here . Said I won a truck . U need to keep an eye on this crap . I sent u a message to see if it was true and u never answered me. I use to be a fan 👎

I could see that being the case with standard gauge rails, but they’re making that truck for 3ft narrow gauge from the look of it.

WOW! It took 6 years to get this video out...Really awesome project!!
Those old railroad guys are percise and heavy duty, you just fit right in
Outstanding! I was a member years ago and I helped build the Signal Garden. It’s grown quite a bit since then!
The Galloping Goose were all made from Pierce-Arrows and were used for mail and other delivers between the 30's and 50's in Colorado.

All-time fav for the Ian Collection.

He's just an artist at what he does. Well done buddy.

Such good ideas to make this work .Great job
That is one big 'HO' model railroad layout.
That was different but very cool. Really showed off your fabricating skills. 👍 👍

Ian is finally in TRAINing🤠
I love trains, and as a railfan myself, this was enjoyable. Definitely have a new subscriber
Wow. great effort. Great results.
This was just great 👍 😊. Thanks for sharing this with us 😀 😊
Reminds me of the Galloping Gooses that were made ages ago in Colorado for the Rio Grand Southern RR.
Great job Ian 👍
Ward Kimball had that Grizzly Flats barn and the Chloe locomotive in his back yard in San Gabriel, California for years off of Ardendale Ave. His neighbors must have loved him.🤪
THANKS A LOT AND CONGRATULATION
Ian, you are a genius!
Totally cool. Love them steamers
Great project!
this is the 2nd time i have watched this video from start to finish and enjoyed it both times thanks
I like trains.
I'm gonna build something like this & mine is gonna be able to go on the road and the rails.

Amazing ❤❤❤
i worked in a machien shop before, one thing i was taught was to never leave you chuck key inside the spindle head when its on, your basically asking for trouble.
Awesomeness! Love it! Keep on keeping on!
Awesome!
My vessel has 12 cylinder G.E. 7FDMs and they’re great. Although I was brought up on EMDs, ALCOs, And Fairbanks OPs.
This has to be my absolute favourite video
Ian miss your show on motortrend channel you do awesome work
Crazy but very cool
cool project
Ian does it again. He will turn a train into a hot rod and drive it to a car show 😊
Been thinking about the "NON BRAKES" on this monster, had you thought about putting a heavy duty disk brake on the drive shaft??
Badass
It's a goose!
One big set of KADEE wheels their putting on the rear of that old time truck.
So awesome
It's a galloping goose. Used by the Southern Rio Grande Railway from the 1930's through the 1950's.
Yes. They used to have one on display in Silverton Co. Not sure if it's still there, it's been a long time ago
I would like to know where that museum is at! I want to go there for a full tour!
Классная работа. Привет из Анапы.
Look likes the rare Vehicle on Appears in the movie cars 2
That was Off the CHAIN KOOL
I'd use retractable train wheels like on the railway service pickup trucks, then it could drive to any location & hop on the tracks
My favorite hot rodder on You Tube. Your skills and imagination are great, looking forward to the next idea.
I think I’ve been looking at that train for 20 years in Cortez, Colorado. Is that right?
Is it really done? Did I miss something? Does it run under it's own power? I didn't see it run. Good job, now finich it!
Foamers jeep creeps they have strange love
He called it a hot rod.
THANKS A LOT
hey this isn't any different than what Rio Grande Southern did to make the Galloping Gooses aka Motors!
Thinking the same thing.
How would a welded train Wheels onto the inside of the regular truck wheels and then you wouldn't have to do anything else. Easy peasy!
I “sub’d” because of the pitbulls lol. Aka the best dogs ever.
epic build made it look perficto ,love it
There's a lot of great information and entertainment. But I definitely believe I've heard so many times I've got enough stuff here to do it. Definitely a bit too much repeating of that line. We have figured out that you have enough stuff to do it.
Honestly how long does it actually that to complete a buil
Need to be syick welding that heavy plate. You are probably not getting good penetration with the mig.
my main ? is why does a train musam have old trucks that are practically no longer a vehicle of any type and have nothing to do with trains or rail road cars or locomotives

Brakes?!
what state and city or town is this
why does this vehicle have a steering wheel?
Bcuzitdid
What else are ya gunna grab in the corners? Oh, yeah, and why take it out anyway?
There's a commercial, every 3 - 4 minutes.....
8 commercial breaks in a 48 minute program.....
The term that needs to be said is hot railing okay guys put your thinking Caps on next time you make a New video okay thanks again Charles Williams later on now you hear me ❤️🤍💙👁️🐿️⚡😎⚡❤️🙏❤️⚡
👍👍🫵🪨❤️
and it doesnt run....meh
I got contacted by someone pretending to be Ian On here . Said I won a truck . U need to keep an eye on this crap . I sent u a message to see if it was true and u never answered me. I use to be a fan 👎
The first few seconds mentioning Ed Roth you had my attention but you mentioned politics I am out.
GLAD THE SHOW GOT CANCELED 😞. IAN WAS RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS AND ALL Dune buggy shows was getting old!!!
