I was a boiler technician in the US Navy 86-90 it was so cool learning boilers (Babcock & Willcox modified D type 600 psi marine propulsion boiler) I think about that equipment every day still. I appreciate and respect what you are doing great video. Thanks

Its amazing how much pulling power that little engine has.

The amount of knowledge needed to run a steam engine is admirable to say the least .

Really there are 3 main controls, regulator for controlling speed, reverser for direction and cylinder cocks for clearing condensed water out of the cylinders. All the other stuff is pretty much just extras.

I forgot about the fireman, he's the one who has to control draft and keep the fire just right, the driver just has to control speed and direction.

These are the sort of videos youtube was really made for... I am a qualified light vehicle Mechanic in Australia turned truck driver (equivalent of a CDL in the states) and have always been about machinary from small to big and all the moving parts of that machinary... This is so cool. This really makes me think how cool the world is with all the different niche hobbies and hobbyists.

These “little” engines are such amazing pieces of machinery and engineering

I love how much work you train guys put into your hobby, with no ROI other than your own personal enjoyment. It reminds me that not everything you do has to be that “sigma male grindset” that you can just peacefully enjoy whatever you do without making money. Most of us will be forgotten in 100 years, and you remind me that it’s important to make the most of your time, even if it’s only for personal enjoyment. Thanks for reminding me that not everything has to be about the hustle and the money. Forget about what others think, and just enjoy yourself. I think I’m going to go build a model airplane. Love you guys.

Steam locos are still the most impressive ones. The only thing where you can experience physics and technic so near and clearly. Very nice loco and track!

Probably the best collection of Stanley Steamers in the Country. Clarence Marshall was the local Stanley dealer and he put aside one of each model for himself. When I was a kid, Mr. Marshall showed me how a Stanley worked and some features of his Dobles.

I used to work on those engines in my teenage years when they were still owned by Tom. Place hasn't changed a bit!

the thin light table plates from IKEA are weak... if you rage you can punch them but they will not survive... rage more but you have nothing left to punish... I appreciate that there are people on this globe who know how to put other people at ease with the simple love of steam and technical expertise. I hope our children will keep the old inventions and the knowledge from times gone by alive, we will never know.

Steam is an amazingly powerful force. Boilers take an astonishing amount of labor to maintain. Good video. Thanks for posting.

At the time that these were made available to the public I’d imagine the only ones who would be able to afford them would have been those with a lot of money and a lot of land

imagine a version of flying scotsman with two tenders and smoke deflectors

Somewhat. The coal has been burning, but hasn’t been reduced to ashes just yet. In order to cool down the locomotive we have to slowly dump the fire and remove the source of heat from the engine.

I do not believe it includes the price of the building, tools and all that. You can get a less expensive engine, but not that size or in operational condition. To get into the live steam hobby from what I have observed, it's basically a lifestyle choice more than just a hobby. It's like owning a horse or something. You have to feed, water and take care of the locomotive. If you can't do all that, don't plan on running it. This is from someone who does not have one, but I've been looking into it. I'm not rich, so it may be a long time before I can afford this hobby. @@fredbrandon1645

Its basis is a Alco/'Union Pacific FEF Northern class, but the only factor you can see from its basis are the castings such as the wheels and pilot.

Something like that subject to FRA regs? Seeing passengers on that, I'm thinking it's under some kind of government or insurance company inspired regulations/policies

@Bennyboi_

Definitely under insurance, but since our gauge is smaller than 2 feet and we cross no public roadways, we are not subject to FRA guidelines. The steam engines do need state boiler inspections though.

Why did you put so much coal in there just to shovel it all out?

@Bennyboi_

5 ай бұрын

This was over a several hour running period, and in order to generate enough heat to keep the locos pressure up, you need to add coal as the fire burns and turns to ash. However, once the running day is over and the engine needs to go to bed, we let the fire die and "pull it" to stop the heating of the engine. We also fill the boiler with water to help with cooling.
