Just now read the complete description on eBay, and I am VERY impressed! The guys who restored this amazing machine seemed to have done everything right! A safety factor of 5 -- PERFECT (and necessary) !! And an all-welded boiler that meets ASME standards -- also PERFECT (and necessary) !! I don't know why this wonderful machine is for sale, but it would be GREAT for the right person. Remember: this thing runs at 150 psi, and MUST be treated with respect, and like a locomotive, except that it runs on rubber tires. (Never going to be street-legal, but it could be used t fairs and such.) Absolutely wonderful!!!
Wow this thing was for sale what was the price and where can a person see more specification and information about this rig. I thought it was completely homemade I had no idea that this thing was supposedly restored and from what year?
Lovely sweet vintage. When I was young I used to stand for hours watching these steam engines shunting up and down near my house, the Coke burning was sort of earthly fragrance which used to be addictive for steam bugs. Everything about these machines is simply wonder for anyone to see its working ...and more fun was to compare diesel engines with these steam blackies..and these black monsters always won our hearts.
Good to see Another One Of These Back in Service Again.There were Quite a Few of them built in the 1940s with several of them being restored in more recent years.
Really what were they call this is not a traction engine tractor but rather a high-speed work truck Road locomotive:-) you have any more information? Thank you
@@markeverson5849 I've always just heard them referred to as "Road-Locomotives" since the first one I saw in the early 1970s. . . Back-in-the-day, if a farmer had an old Traction Engine that had worn out the gearing or busted an axle or had other issues making them little more than a Stationary Engine, they would find an old Truck Chassis in the junk yard and mount their old boiler/engine on it making themselves a "Road Locomotive" that could travel from farm to farm quicker than a regular Traction Engine to keep the "Threshing Rings" operating a few more years and over wider distances. . . There were enough of them built that they actually Raced Them on Dirt Tracks in the 1940s & early 50s in what (if I remember right) were called Road Locomotive Rodeo's. which while i HAVE SEEN Pictures of the races I have yet to find any video footage of them. . . I shot this video while riding on one them several years ago. ruclips.net/video/-X5k3IFAuwk/видео.html
@@oldSawyer thank you very much for filling me in on that information I pictured the whole thing in my mind yes those Road locomotives are awesome! I wonder if anybody ever put a 4-speed transmission behind it to reach higher speeds in more gears on the road locomotives :-) I'm sure they did! Imagine traveling at 50 60 miles an hour back in the day I wonder how many of them took them across the country headed for California Oregon :-) with their family and friends behind to go pick fruit and work or whatever?
@@markeverson5849 I believe Most of them, or at least the ones I've seen in person over the years, used the standard truck transmission with however many gears it had depending on the make & model, though with the shear power of Steam, you would likely leave it in High Gear for Road Travel, then drop it down to a lower gear if you were pulling wagons across a rough field or driving it in a Parade. . . Figure the Stanley Steamer and Doble Steam Cars had around a 1.5:1 or 1.6:1 rear gear ratio and NO Transmission with a Much Smaller Engine than these have, you could pretty much gear it for whatever speed you wanted (within reason) and still not have to shift gears.
@@oldSawyer okay thanks for the insight in the memory and experience on the whole thing yeah I would like a a road locomotive scale down to about the size of a pickup truck with the capability of pulling a trailer behind me but I would definitely want gears for the Super Highway to get out and cruise at 70 miles an hour or whatever she would take but I would definitely keep her looking like a locomotive that's the whole beauty of the whole thing:-) awesome where can I get a steam whistle to run out my truck with air do they make any aftermarket I bet you a guy could make his own steam whistle if he had a pattern of a good sounding one from the steam era? Any clues
This must be the most steampunk vehicle ever made, and I don't mean the modern steampunk ones which are intentionally made to look steampunk, I mean the old ones that were just meant to work
That's absolutely amazing!! How wonderful!! Just be careful to treat this thing with respect, so she stays in excellent condition for everyone to enjoy -- and BE SAFE!! 150 psi?? wow..... Treat her like a locomotive for safety purposes and all will be well. :)
So uh... Do I need a driver's license or a boiler operators license? If I get pulled over and the cops ask for license and registration, what do I do??
Hello. I remembered a video of either this steam truck or similar which in Ohio pulled out of property onto highway and going down the road, where's that video?
No mansion if the big boy had a rubber or wide steel wheels with rubber tread instead of the steel ones on tracks but still roadworthy that would be amazingly cool to see.
This is actually footage. From an alternative universe. Wherein the internal combustion engine. Was *never* invented😯. That would've made a great episode of Sliders 🤔😁😆
Wow where is this machine now who bought it what is its history what is it when was it originally built by whom and where and why. Did they use it for pulling or hauling on the roads years ago what please update thank you
Really awesome I love it! and so does my son Austin who is 42 years old now! so whatever happened to the steam locomotive The Road Warrior??? it's progress and Builders? Curious please updat,.would you sell??
My state banned triple trailers. With this baby I could pull 50 trailers, with a red camper at the end and the state cant do squat! FRA won't let me charge what I'm worth or merge with the Southern Pacific.

Why can't this be street legal?
@@majorchungus if you put lights on it and decent brakes why not it just like any other rat Rider Hot Rod street rod

@@majorchungus 😏
That's amazing. I've never seen a train and a car built into one like that before.

That looks very impressive! 😃😃😃
Not going to lie, I want one now.
I need this now becouse the gasoline is to spencive😂😂
Awesome! I love it!😊

Wooooow ❗
Reverse too ❕

Thanks for sharing ✅🌹
WTF?! A “choo-choo TRUCK”?!

Good Job. 👏🏼
My dream car I love this so much
No mansion if the big boy had a rubber or wide steel wheels with rubber tread instead of the steel ones on tracks but still roadworthy that would be amazingly cool to see.
That’s awesome!
That looks like Dreyfus from Kiefer Adams' story, Competition for George.
Almost reminds me of the Sentinel Steam Lorry
The whistle on this vehicle sounds like Lady's whistle from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
trainguy111 yea it does
Great prom car 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i have to say it, go away train yer drunk. i love how she has the b&o motiff on her. would love to put a hi rail kit on her.
This is actually footage. From an alternative universe. Wherein the internal combustion engine. Was *never* invented😯. That would've made a great episode of Sliders 🤔😁😆
I find it funny that it has the Baltimore and Ohio logo on it
🇮🇳💐🍁I love you raod steam locomotive 🌹♥️🥰🥰👌🍁💐🇮🇳

Boa noite falo do Brasil são 10:07pm agora que coisa linda bela máquina
Built by Fred and Sam Paul of Indiana.
Indiana for the win! 🎉
Wow where is this machine now who bought it what is its history what is it when was it originally built by whom and where and why. Did they use it for pulling or hauling on the roads years ago what please update thank you
What happened to this beautiful Engine? Has it been sold?
Really awesome I love it! and so does my son Austin who is 42 years old now! so whatever happened to the steam locomotive The Road Warrior??? it's progress and Builders? Curious please updat,.would you sell??
What’s the name of this whistle
People would sure stay the hell out of the way wouldn’t they!
What whistle does it have?
who built that one? kinda cute. and you are right that whistle does sound like lady from thomas and the magic railroad movie 2000.
My state banned triple trailers. With this baby I could pull 50 trailers, with a red camper at the end and the state cant do squat! FRA won't let me charge what I'm worth or merge with the Southern Pacific.
Thomas the steam truck!
Lancasters newest hero
0:24 Road Locomotive 1
It's the road vehicle from thomas the tank engine.
No just no what kind of cursid work have you made and yeah it is pretty cool but it just has to be Baltimore and Ohio
Very agile for 14000 lbs.
Sounds like the 104
104 departing omaha 104 departing omaha
IS THIS LEGAL!!?
Not a fan of that whistle haha
