@@bobhink That’s amazing! You did a great job taking her out and back. I was the first one out Saturday morning, came back Sunday to shoot video. What a great experience.
@@dlagruaIt’s not a long distance, I believe it’s more than that. Takes about 10 minutes to get to the end of the line. You can’t go very fast because there are lots of very sharp turns and its very rough terrain.
The way those 0-4-0 engines naturally rock I’m sure the wheels are binding, especially on those very sharp curves. It wasn't noticeable when I was in the cab, but trackside it was rough on the eardrums.
Yes, it’s typical mining railroad track. Not exactly Northeast Corridor standards. But that’s quite the norm for industrial railroads in the steam era. It was very exciting bumping around those sharp curves on the edge of the mountain.
@@seymoarsalvage I read that lumber tracks were the worst. Temporary and poorly built. But them Shays would derail and then be able to pull themselves right back on the track with their all-wheel drive system they had. Love learning this stuff, thanks all!
I enjoy the engine you got me leaving the station Thanks

Thanks
What a beautiful engine 😊.
I agree! It’s a simple engine, but it’s nicely proportioned. Definitely model-worthy.
Nice engine but they only have about 200' of track to move it!
@dlagrua Have to hire some Gandy dancers and put more steel down.

I love the video
I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I love it
@@arlingtontrains7 It was fun driving it.
Good video, like
Thank you!!! Glad you liked it.
I really like your TH-cam channel. Just subscribed.
The Skarloey of Pennsylvania.
That’s very good!😆
That is the squeakiest track I have ever heard
That track is begging for mercy

Where was this ?!
This was at the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine and Steam Train museum in Ashland, Pa just outside of Bloomsburg.
Those look like some sketchy tracks. With only the 4 drive wheels and no guide wheels either fore or aft, it looks even shakier.

At low speeds, 0-4-0's do great on uneven track. Tho that track doesn't look "bad".

Sketchy tracks are what that 0-4-0 conquers well. Just can’t go fast. I’ve ridden on much worse.
She needs to pull some weight so that the exhaust bark will complement the beautiful whistle.
Is it two footh gauge? And is it a Dinkie?
It looks to be 3’ gauge. The museum refers to it as a Loki. I assume that’s comparable to a Dinky.
I believe it is 42" on the gauge. Drove it in the spring when they had. Great time had.
@@sillytoy1That would make sense. I believe 42” was known as Pennsylvania gauge. It was definitely a great experience, will definitely do it again.
