Looks absolutely fantastic! I find these videos fascinating - I’m a member of a miniature engineering club in the UK, and our side of the hobby seems to be very different to yours! Our locos are usually far smaller. Keep up the fantastic videos!
how long does it usually take from getting a steam engine out of the shed/trailer to pulling away under its own steam? what sort of prep work do owners have to do to get to that stage aswell?
Anybody out there with a GTW U-3-b, K-4-a, or U-1-c ? Also, I have a large 8x10 format /professionally mounted B&W photo of 5629 parked next to the old roundhouse in Milwaukee Jct. taken somewhere in 1969. It's beautiful and pristine but it sits behind my couch since I have nowhere to hang it. All you'll need is a couple of mat's, frame and glass. All offers will be considered to a good home.

That's a hell of an engine lift.!🤯🤯🤯!.
That’s what I’m saying
3:00 the caboose derailed in the background. Lol
Ahhh, the smells of steam engines. Brings back some happy childhood days indeed!
Thank you so much for the videos. The engine are beautiful. It give great pleasure to see steam in action. GREETINGS from Dublin Ireland

Some really nice equipment there.
What a fine looking little steamie guys! Yours is some first rate build as far as I can see!
Just the tonic after a day on the footplate.
One busy railroad.
Fabulous !!! I can't even imagine the man-hours taken to make these engines. Hats off to these enthusiasts !!!
WOW!! Some great engines. Partial to the CB&Q Hudson, B&M R-1 and the Godshall 2-8-0's.
Great video!!😊👍
Wonderfull video :)
Sound great the C.B. & Q. 4000! ( 7:48 )!!

0:12 Very cool Marvel styled intro!
It amazes me how much weight these little machines can actually pull.!🤯🤯🤯!.
well the bigger ones do weigh about as much as a small car, so it makes sense
Looks like these trains have a good on-time record for lunch.
Anyone know what powers the red diesel '500' locomotive?
If I had money , I'm sure I would be playing with those trains too.
What gauge is this?
Could you do a time laps video from a stationary high mounted camera? Please.
How can I be part of the club?
how long does it usually take from getting a steam engine out of the shed/trailer to pulling away under its own steam? what sort of prep work do owners have to do to get to that stage aswell?
About forty five minutes to an hour to unload, prep, fire up, and pop off both safety valves.
Beautiful. What do one of these steam locos weight empty? That's a lot of metal!
...and what scale?
Those are 7.5 inch gauge 1 to 2.5 inch scale and most of those are 1200 to 2000 lbs empty.
👏👏👏👏👏
What does it take to join this club? It's the closest one to me I can find, albeit 3 hours away. I'd love to go here once I get a train.
This is not a club, it’s a private railroad owned by a single party. You would have to contact them regarding visitation to the property.
