Fantastic equipment and a beautiful park. Most of them look so serious. If I were riding one you would have to knock the smile off my face with a coal shovel.
Today, May 4th I saw Big Boy 4014 coupled up with the 844, heading west on the UP line out of Cheyenne Wyoming, under its own power, fully restored. It was incredible, It was History. Yes the Big Boy will never pull freight any more, but still in all, too see her chugging down the tracks and hear her whistle. Yeah, it was so wonderful. But you guys, to have built a Big Boy so small and fully operational, that takes talent. Good job and great video.
Absolutely fabulous! Of the dream! Of the dream! More and more dreams! Find your child's soul! Thank you! Absolument fabuleux! Du rêve! Du rêve! Encore et toujours plus du rêve! Retrouver son âme d'enfant! Merci!
this is the worlds greatest hobby why because it saves marriages the husband is always in his shed building these magnificent machines the wife doesnt know where he is most of the time and couldnt care less anyway So it saves the courts being cluttered up with divoice cases You cant argue with your husband if he is never there to shout at
That was just wonderful! Well done to the guys that run the park and to the guys that look after the wonderful trains! Magical! Well done to you all! It has made my evening!!
Wow this is pretty cool. The locomotives are awesome especially the shiny one with the double 6 drives. And the layout, geez really well maintained. Mucho Euro's spent here.
If you pay someone to build one, yes you would be talking about $100,000 for a 4-6-6-4 type. For builders, its more about time than money. It can take tens of thousands of hours.
The locomotive at 2:49 is more closely modeled after the Challenger then the Big Boy. Big Boy has a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement while the Challenger is 4-6-6-4. Both however, were built by the legendary American Locomotive Company, also known as Alco. Besides that, awesome video and awesome models!
So awesome! I wish the train enthusiasts in Russia adopt the 5 inch and 7.1/2 gauge live steam railraoding. We have very inexpensive steel and plenty of space for decent size clubs!
В России и так есть детские железные дороги (ДЖД). И носят как практическое значение, так аттракцион для отдыха. Основная колея 750 мм, парк локомотивов и паровозы, но большей частью тепловозы. С 30-тых годов во многих городах СССР открыты для профориентации школьников, являются первой ступенью обучения профессиям железной дороги. В настоящее время около 19 тысяч школьников разного возраста обслуживают локомотивы и вагоны, станции ДЖД. И примерно 2,6 тысяч в последующем приходят в высшие и средние учебные заведения для получения образования, и работы по окончании в системе РЖД. В летние каникулы дети и являются пассажирами в вагонах ДЖД. А не как у вас - сидят взрослые "дети" на паровозах, утраивают покатушки ....
Astounded, but not surprised, at the high quality workshipmenship and presentation of these German Lokies. Love the European old School design. Now Iam dropping everything to make a couple of their open shaft water pumps! Good bye injectors!
@@jetegtmeier71 Yes. The locomotive shown is a Norfolk & Western Class A, a 2-6-6-4. That wheel arrangement originated on the Seaboard Air Line, which wanted a powerful locomotive for fast freight. It was a much lighter engine than the N&W's version, however! The Seaboard's engines were eventually sold to the Baltimore & Ohio.
Hmmm 🤔 maybe the title should be changed, or at least the description could be updated... As is, it's driving up unintended views with all the recent BigBoy restoration hype. It's an interesting video, but I specifically came here to see a live steam BigBoy...
I like the long one, kind of represents a WW1 or WW2 train. I may have to get one for myself when I build my own in the future on a farm building it either one a 1400+ acre farm or 14000+ farm in Texas
My great uncle was a machinist and he used to build these in his garage behind his house. The last few years of his life he sadly got alzheimers and never messed with it again.
Hello sir.I would like to say that i am very much impressed and enjoyed every bit of this video :).might ask you what did it cost ?? Pardon my english :)
Shame these gages weren't standardized. In most of the USA 7½” 190mm is standard with 1½”: 1’-0”/⅛ scale, which is a scale 5’-0”/1524mm gage. 1.6”:1’-0”/1/7.5 scale has become very popular. This scale makes 7½” gage represent 56¼” gage, which railways commonly used on straight and slightly curved track to reduce hunting, the lateral weaving that coned wheels do on straight track. The correct gage for ⅛ scale is 7-¹/16” so both 7¼” and 7½” are overwide. The narrower large scale gages have the same incompatibility between USA and European large scale gages. ¼ scale park trains in the USA are almost all 16” gage while British and some eastern USA are 15”. The NMRA in the USA worked for standardization back when model railroading was a small hobby. Way back, each manufacturer established its own scales and gages, so it took quite many years to establish standard scales, gages and scale/gage relationships. The old Märklin #1 gage, 1¾”/44.45mm (usually called “45mm”) was revived by Lehmann as G gage, 1:22½ scale representing metre gage. With the rise (explosion!) of interest in large scale ¹/32 scale for garden railways several manufacturers, including Märklin, are making ¹/32 scale rolling stock.
Steam is a lot more powerful than many people realise. I recall reading about (and I've since seen here on YT) real steam engines which are only about 4 times the size of a Hornby HO scale engine, and which run on raised tracks with people riding astride. One of those engines can easily pull several adults around the track. The reason I recall this is because the writer of the book told a short story about how he allowed an inexperienced person to drive his engine, and noticed that after starting off too fast, the engine seemed to be running a bit "rough". When he checked it later, he discovered that the inexperienced driver had allowed too much steam into the cylinders at the start and one of the pistons had been literally torn right off of the connecting rod. Since those cylinders are double-acting (they provide power on both strokes), the engine was only operating on three-quarters of its full power and it was still managing to pull four adults around. There's a reason steam power ruled for some decades before being supplanted by the internal combustion engine.
Puedo entender que todavía existen personas que les atraen las máquinas a vapor, pero también veo personas que se quedaron en la infância o que sus padres no les compraron un trencito a cuerda o eléctrico cuando fueron niños. Digno de estúdio.

Just to clarify I believe that the title is trying to say that the gentlemen in the video are like big kids and their big "toys". not to be confused with the 4-8-8-4 Big boy class locomotives. although I feel it should have been worded differently because it is a steam train video and that's easily confusing.

Garteneisenbahn is deadly serious business.
Nice to see some thing of triangle history is still alive
Agree. Most look like they are not having fun.
Zis is how ze Germans have fun!
They look bland and unappreciative
wonderful dear friend
Its great to see young kids involved in operations , future looks good.

That sounds like a quick way to end a marriage so idk what you're talking about. Unless that was pure irony.

That 4-6-6-4 is just MAD, mad respect to the guy for making it.
I had no idea Germans were all 30-40 feet tall.
Lari Kipe im germen to but im a teenager
@@Yarelis2086 So are you like only 25 feet tall?
nope still growing as a kid
Same
Germen grow bigger when r in their habitats
That was just wonderful! Well done to the guys that run the park and to the guys that look after the wonderful trains! Magical! Well done to you all! It has made my evening!!
The engines are brilliant to scale, workmanship to details is excellent. I enjoyed the video and have to look at it again. Thank you
That table is a really nice setup. I'm impressed by this club.

typical German toy. industrial spirit！
love the intro tune 80s feel and that thing is amazing!
Those locos are gorgeous!
HOW WONDERFUL!! Many details, fantastic !! Hugs from Brazil

Snow Owl more like an N&W Y6A. That’s a much closer appearance and the correct wheel arrangement.
@@benwetzel8449 N&W A class locomotive. The y6b came after this one which is the A class
I can't believe not one but *TWO* people mistook an N&W A class as another engine
Very very beautiful now that's what I'm talking about 🧐😲🤯...👌my kinda toy I'll have one of those sir thank you👍

This is a great video. The filming is excellent, and it’s just so well done I could even smell the engines.
Nice Chemtrails in the background
Cool video 👍👍
I don't see any big boys. i only see one steam locomotive that looks more like N&W a class steam locomotive
It's most likely a N&W A class.
@@TheBroughamGamer Indeed it is. I've ridden behind the 1218 and even sneaked a cab ride around a wye.
even than isn't a Challenger a 4-6-6-4 not a 2-6-6-4 config. ? whatever the case a Big Boy it is NOT { 4-8-8-4}

These are so cool!!! I wish I could buy these!
This is amazing.Especially the big one wth the metal look.It might cost a small fortune.
Try,, a large fortune, ,, you could buy a nice house for one of the big ones.
That is so,"COOL", Love old trains👍🚂🚃

That sounds great. Please write me when your railway park is finished.
Oh the n&w a class was a very sick locomotive
@@alexilauto1419 same here
@Kabuki Kitsune not a challenger, thats a mallet 2-6-6-4 loco, the challenger is a 4-6-6-4
@Kabuki Kitsune N&W A class
Jolly good show @Pilentum . Keep up the good work guys
22:25 That wheelslip was insane.
That is so cool!
Very enjoyable. Greetings from New York City!
this looks like a amazing park .
That's a beautiful place.
Hermosas locomotoras 👌
Small,cute but strong💪💪
My great uncle was a machinist and he used to build these in his garage behind his house. The last few years of his life he sadly got alzheimers and never messed with it again.
Beautiful!
Awesome.
Oh my god i love them!
Wonderful.
I like double piston engine, good creativity.
Thats gold looking articulated loco looks like one of our USA steam loco the the N&W articulated 1218 at 2:52
This is Fantastic! :-D
Super.
Germans are great in engineering. From INDIA.
Too cool 😎
Wow nice,2:41
Lovely
Hello sir.I would like to say that i am very much impressed and enjoyed every bit of this video :).might ask you what did it cost ?? Pardon my english :)
Sorry, I don't know the costs/prices of these locomotives. I am just the camera man.
These aren’t exactly the same type of trains but it will give you some idea of the prices.

There is a live steamer park not far from where I live, but they have put weight restrictions on all of their trains.
I've heard some of them have the power of a small tractor.
