Mill Brook 18 at Waushakum Live Steamers

- I took the Plum Cove Generic Electric to the Northeast Live Steamers meet at the Waushakum Live Steamers track in Holliston, MA. It ran well but some may be sad to note that there were no derailments. :-)

WHAT?! NO DERAILMENTS?! I want my money back... wait... oh... uh... never mind. (blush)
Those structures and tunnel(s)? are amazing. Did the #18 smile after stretching her legs a bit?
The 18 has run well since. I think that counts as a smile.
Great footage, Aaron!
Well at least no derailments bye you 😏o and bye the way are you going to visit the mid south live steamers in Columba Tennessee and ever thought about using kinsferd bbq brackets
I don't think I'll get to Mid-South this year unless someone there buys a locomotive.
I've seen people start their fires with charcoal briquettes soaked in kerosene. It's a popular choice with the small engines on the high line.
Operating ABS, long scenic ride, highballing, I’d be happy. Not one derailment…. 😕
Looks like that would be a nice track to visit. Too bad I have all 7.5" equipment, not 7.25".
It's a good excuse to get some convertible wheelsets. Some people have convertible wheelsets, others have two sets of trucks for their traveling equipment and others have 7-1/4" gauge equipment and 7-1/2" gauge equipment.
That would be just a bit more work that I want to tackle, since my engine is a live steam 2-6-0. If I ever find myself in that area, I would just ride along on someone else's train.
@@benhancock1408 That is another option. I knew a guy with a beautiful Boston & Maine northern in 7-1/4 and he told me he had an identical one built for 7-1/2 as well. I know another guy who has threaded drivers on his 0-4-0 and he turns the tread and changes a set screw whenever he goes to 7-1/2" gauge tracks.
I did some experimenting, though. 7-1/4" gauge equipment will run on 7-1/2" gauge track unmodified. Just not the other way around.
Awesome ridee through the woods
WOW that is neat having lite signals, they look like they automatically change. it is so
good to see the 18 all set up and running on the rails. It looks like a great set up to
run the 7.25 gauge trains. thank you for the very nice videos of this location !
have a great day.
The signals work on track circuits or can be controlled by the dispatcher. Thanks for watching!
I don’t think I’ve seen #18 on your home track? You’re really High-Balling it here. It’s a beautiful railroad, winding through woodland. Very nice video.
I only had the 18 at half throttle on that run.
You may have missed the couple videos of the 18 on home rails. She'd been out of service since 2020.

@@MillBrookRailroad Thanks! I’ve seen s couple of those videos of 18:without realizing it. Model trains, and real trains, have always fascinated me.
Awesome railway,Awesome locomotives and a Awesome guide cheers I enjoyed this video
Thanks!
He should have offered to remove his train from the track and let you pass. He's holding everyone up thats behind you also.
It was a good excuse to stand and talk for a few minutes. I was the only one held up and I didn't mind.
@@MillBrookRailroad Your probably right ,it didn't look too busy.Thanks for the nice footage.
That's a poor way of doing things the hobby is all about helping and having a good time not get out the way your holding us up sort of speek. I have over 12 locomotives built by me and my late granddad 7¼ inch gauge and down to 3½ inch we all have bad days and good days
@@marknewell7355 well said.
Impressive layout, at least 5-9 acres? Very beautiful system and signal-semaphores! What a sweet railroad theme park! Beautiful nothing like this in Texas! I’m too fat for this, love life size trains.
Look up Houston Area Live Steamers
That New Haven #425 is a nice looking engine. Sounds like a valve timing issue though. That exhaust is very off beat. And unless he has bad coal, he is not keeping that coal bed in shape.....like too thick of a bed, or the engine is not drafting well. If he was climbing the hill very slow, then he should have put the blower on too. Maybe someday I will win a lottery that I don't play and buy a steam engine in that scale! I love steam so much. And my other interest is signals. That layout has loads of awesome signals....especially those semaphores. Awesome!!!!
The New Haven 425 was suffering from the wrong coal, but I agree with you that it doesn't sound square. I certainly don't have money to buy a steam engine but if I did, it would probably be a small engine.
Thanks for the ride
Drinking from a hose!!!!!!!
It's convenient.
Great place, I have visited there a few time during their open events
Another beautiful railroad set up
Any plans on using the 18 for use on the wood pellet trains?
No. It can't handle the weight.
@@MillBrookRailroad ahh I see well do you know what the tank car will be used for behind the snowplow?
@@USASteamProductions It will be a weed sprayer car for vinegar when I finish it.
@@MillBrookRailroad good to know
When do we see the cup holders on the number 70?
They're in the cab.
