Nice! I wish I could drive a locomotive in weather like this. In the future I will get my own loco. The steaming scenes at the start look amazing especially with the rain tipping down outside.
Would love to have that C&NW F unit in my collection. I currently own a backyard rails F-7a and a railroad supply F-7b. nice video, would love to visit this track sometime
How are the cylinder drain cocks--I think that's what they're called--work? Do they open and close automatically, or is there a control for them in the cab or somewhere else?
***** It depends on the locomotive John. Some have a manual cab control and others have automatic cylinder cocks. Its really the builders preference. If you watch our "How-To Fire a Steam Locomotive" video in our How-To playlist the locomotive used, #574, has automatic cylinder cocks.
Hello Steam Channel, love your videos. I asked this question in another video and did not receive a response. I see steam locomotives powered by coal, oil and propane, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?...
tonym1947 There might be a few videos across TH-cam but we currently don't have any posted. Several construction "how-to's" are in the planning stages and we hope to have at least one of the series started early in the spring of 2016.
4120 is just an awesome machine !

Cylinder cocks have to be opened and closed manually with usually a lever.

They look big for 7.4 inch gauge. What coal do you use?
At 6:45 what kind of coal is going into the tender
Are there any videos of these being built?

Extra Ordinary....Best fun we can get,s.............
Was the 4120 hand made
I think so...
Most all of the locomotives this size are I believe. Hand machined anyway.
mm how much the price?
+Dot Moky Annoyingly, theses engines can easily punch into the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
It depends on the size. Northerns and Pacifics will be more expensive then a Atlantic or a Mougul
Is this a job or what?
+Darien Davis Just a collection of hobbyists that formed a club and purchased property to operate their trains.
It's very cool.
+The Steam Channel Can you build a train like those of your own?
yes
that was some nice clickbait
