Anthracite Modeler
США
Добавлен 2 июн 2013
I am a builder of steam locomotives specializing in the anthracite region of the United States from the railroads Reading Company, Lehigh Valley, Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh New England and more. The engines are anything from a re-detailing with earlier projects to 90% scratch built like the LNE E-8 2-8-0. The kit bashes are done with styrene for structures and brass detail parts of several companies, really what ever that works I can find cheap at train shows.

SMS Rail 9 Test Fire
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
SMS 9, (Ex New Hope and Ivyland, Exx Virginia Blue Ridge, Nee U.S. Army) has not been under steam since 1981. Restoration was started by the New Hope and Ivyland in 1992 but stopped as funding ran out. Now the same crew is finishing the project after being bought by SMS Rail in southern New Jersey. This was the first steam test of the boiler with new firebox, throttle, tubes, and many other par...
SMS 9 Steam Locomotive Restoration: Tapping for staybolts
Просмотров 8424 года назад
A couple of clips using a pneumatic drill to tap threads for staybolts on the side sheet. Former New Hope and Ivyland 9 now has a totally new firebox (on the inside). Search for the facebook group SMS#9 which we fairly regularly update.
SMS 9 Steam Locomotive Restoration: Hammering Stay Bolts
Просмотров 6454 года назад
Some clips of hammering staybolts (including myself in the last clip) which does in fact kill your arms. The idea is to smash the center, work around the outside then smash the center more. Writings say to have an expansion of 0 but it takes quite a bit of force to get it to lock in. The material gotten at first for the back head was a bit stronger and took more to get it properly hammered in. ...

Blue Mountain Reading Excursion 1980s
14:49 That ping is a broken staybolt
Looked like warminster R2 area. My father worked for both the reading and Conrail based out of race street tower from 47'-82' as a signal maintainer. Many great memories living with the train behind the house in hatboro many years ago! Great video
13:00 Good RS3L Horn
I love the How they snuck a Guilford freight ahead of 2102.
Ahh the times before remote dpus
In the second scene, we stopped to protect Lower Mountain Road, but when the flagman got off the engine, he stepped into a bees nest and was stung. He came back to the train where my mom (Joan) treated him with some first aid, lots of stings. My dad, (Bill Houser) was trying to tell (Bob Rule, shooting video) to look out for them. In the third scene, at Lahaska, the frog in the south switch of the runaround was cracked, so there was 5mph restriction over it, hense going slow and watching out.
So back in the 80s, Strasburg trains were much faster?
After seeing these locomotives in the museum and then this, it’s a shame they’ll most likely never see the rails under their own power again. Honestly if I won the lottery I would gladly donate more than half of it to both the PRR Museum and Strausburg to make it happen. Since 7002 (actually 8063) and 1223 are more than fast enough to pull such a train down the mainline. If given enough room to get up to speed. Imagine you’re in Philadelphia driving to the airport or whatever and you see a double header steam train heading the same way. Though I think 460 and 7002 are more suited to mainline excursions because of the sheer speeds they can achieve since the E6 and E2 classes were known to go over 100MPH easily. Either way the locomotives will always be a part of history for the PRR and will always be part of Strausburg. Maybe one day we’ll see these two under steam again to join the plausible growing Strausburg fleet.
Cool video of RS-1 57! I have an MTH Model of her. She is planned to go to the Allentown and Auburn
man id love to have some of the stuff you have
At 9:21 there in brewyn
Nice shots!!
I grew up in Oneonta NY and rode my bike to the city park. When a train was coming, I hi=gh tailed it to the crossing and watched 'em go by. Love these old films of the D&H!
Mexican steam locomotive in the US? What happened to her?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
How were the Blueliners able to travel up to Warminster, when the R2 was almost consistently through-routed from Warminster to Marcus Hook, and later Wilmington?
EBT is coming back with the help from Wick Moorman
How do I run the engine without rails? Do I need to hook up alligator clips from my track connections? I'm still new to the hobby & need some guidance
Alligator clips to the wheels that pickup current will do the trick. You can connect the clips to the tender wheels, drawbar, frame, or other places where there is bare metal.
I love the part at 5:33
15:08
Praying for all the boonton cars and cnj CN heavyweights to be fully restored someday.
It is really great when now 89 wears a similar 1223 whistle on occasion.
Anyone know what happened to these engines
RS1 57 is sitting in Quakertown, PA waiting to be moved to its new home at Allentown and Auburn.
What happened to the Lambertville trackage and station right now?
1223, 7002, 475, and 7312 are my favorite trains 🚆 ♥ who's with me?
Awesome! I love them ol' memories of the 80s with CR Maine Central and more!
It's a great set of backdrop modules/layout; it looks very reading. I don't know if you used bark chips or ceiling tiles for the rock cut- but it is the most effective example of that technique I have ever seen
I had no idea D&H 420 was ever in Scranton
That bell sounds very werid
The sounds of the locomotive just rolling along is very relaxing to me, could put it on a loop and sleep to it at night🙂 great video👍
Nice Doubleheader
Hopefully she'll be back soon enough
She's very close
I wonder what ever happened to this line after the BM&R expanded in the 90s of early 2000s? Do they still own it or has it been abandoned or possibly ripped up?
i’m curious, what was the other whistle 2102 was wearing besides her hooter?
A B&O 3 Chime.
Poor 1278 Gettysburg railroad did him dirty
Have you ever done an A4b? I just bought two of those mantua 0-4-0 yard goatswith the intention of doing a superdetail and DCC conversion (after remotor of course)
40 has had so many different bells now
Damn the mono hits hard. Joke aside, interesting video
I honestly wish we could bring back Canadian National 7312
Is everything in the video more or less the same now or has there been updates here in there since this was made?
Great video, Great video... I can't wait to ride behind her again, got my tickets for September, it was great seeing her pull the 50 coal hoppers.
I was running the Shay that day. Always was my favorite of the three.
Those B36-7's and GP40-2'S WERE KING of the Intermodal TV , MAIL AND STACKS by 1995 they were used for Manifest, Locals and Transfers
Absolute gold! Thanks for sharing!
such an unusual wheel arrangement, but the aesthetics of the engine look quite nice tbh.
How old is this video
Love to help out with bringing this stuff back to operation. I DO have the blueprints for 46’s new boiler.
Please tell me we’re close to having steam back soon at the old Pine Creek?
Pretty good video of Canadian National 7312 at Strasburg. They are currently getting the locomotive back to operation.
Cherokee Fiddle! Then he'd go back to Oklahoma he'd wait till the trains were running in the weather was good
Wow maybe I don't want to be an engineer after all:-) haha wow what a bunch of work and worry a huge responsibility my grandfather was an engineer on the soo line I seen a picture just one little old picture that my mom had of my grandfather was an engineer had on and up in the locomotive up in Wisconsin O'Claire Chippewa Falls during the Depression him and my uncles jumped the rail cars themselves like hobos and went all the way to Oregon almost froze to death in winter time and got work sent for the rest of the family eventually that's why I was born in Portland in 1956
