  • It’s been 6 years since the passing of Jim Machacek; and even longer since the operation of his railroad, the Northfield & Cannon Valley Railroad. His favorite locomotive, 504, had not been under steam for nearly 11 years.
    However, after 2 years of being restored, 504 is now in working condition and is ready to see service again. On June 18, 2018, 504 made her public debut and was officially welcomed as a locomotive of the Frisco Silver Dollar Line. Here’s to many years of running the rails at Silver Dollar City.

    What gauge are these, 2ft? Used to know but have forgotten. And now a Silver Dollar City train anecdote: in late 1980s after Dad retired and we moved to Missouri where he and Mom are from, we went with relatives to Silver Dollar City and of course my cousins wanted me to ride the train and of course I was quite happy to! We managed to sit in first car right behind loco. Somewhere along the way they had a mechanical issue, one of the leaf spring hangars on the drivers broke. Was interesting having a ringside seat watching them figure out what to do during the delay and put it in action. My cousins were apologizing and concerned that I'd be really disappointed but I was quite interested in the whole thing. Eventually the crew tied spring hangar in place with a red bandanna and limped back to the station.

    That's so cool how many steam engines does the frisco Silver Dollar City Railroad have besides the three tank engines 13 43 and 76???

    • @TrevlynTheTrainiac
      @TrevlynTheTrainiac 6 лет назад +2

      FSDL 43, FSDL 76, FSDL 13, FSDL 14, FSDL 504, FSDL 9, A Plymouth 0-4-0 Switching Diesel, and FSDL 7, which is the wrecked locomotive down the hill from the train robbery, and is known as no. 82. Each operating locomotive has a sister in the park. no. 14 was built right after no. 13 in the Orenstein & Koppel works. No. 76 and 504 are the same locomotive and are nearly identical. But 76 is one year older than 504, built in 1940 By Kolben Danek in Czech Republic. No. 43's sister is no. 7. They were both built in the same year. According to Noah bentley, 13 will be out of service and will be rebuilt in 5 years from now.

    Do you know if they plan on keeping #13 and #43 in service? Or do they plan on rebuilding them?

    @TrevlynTheTrainiac 5 лет назад +3

    May I ask some questions about #14?
    Have you guys done Break-in runs?
    What whistle is it wearing?
    Has it been converted to a 2-4-0T?
    Thanks, Trevlyn

      Not much need when it's a small locomotive like the ones they run.
