Really nice! Looks like we might start getting into the warmer temperatures and we will get to see a lot more of these videos, possibly with a little more footage of that Hudson. Thanks steam channel.
It’s a water pump to put water in the boiler. One can use a pump like that, injectors, an axle pump, or hand lever pump in manually from the tender. Most use a combination of those as a fail safe.
I'm curious if you might know where I could locate a steam driven water pump just like you see at 1:11 into there video? I'm looking for one to install on my 1/4 scale traction engine. Thanks! I love your videos you really do great work
I see my uncle Mark was there which doesn't surprise me. I was just at ILS last Monday making some videos from several different perspectives. Brought some of my recording equipment to and we had the whole place to ourselves which was pure luck. They really need to fix that wobbly bridge though. I need to ask Mark if I can release the videos to the public.
Im pretty sure those are boosters or something. They were on engines so they can build up enough boiler pressure to get going. They were on the Streamlined New York Hudsons, and I believe it was because they worked poorly at low speeds.
@@leanygreeny9152 Thanks for the reply. I looked it up later and I think they might be air compressors for the brakes. I'm not sure what you're referring to, boosters engines are different and power the wheels of the tender I believe, but maybe you mean the water preheater things they had on the front of the smokebox of some engines?
Do you have to make your own valves as in the things you turn with your hand also do you have to make your own gauges or can you buy them at certain shops?
Absolutely amazing model, fantastic detail. I was curious, do the train operators have to pass any kind of competency exam? As beautiful as they are to look at I should imagine in the wrong hands they are a potential bomb!
At the club I'm in, members above 18 can run personal or club equipment, but younger members are allowed to operate only club equipment on an individual basis depending on maturity and responsibility. Most people who build these engines wouldn't want to see their work destroyed and therefore use them very safely
@@TheSteamChannel hey you can come over to indiana. Lol I love to come see the line in person I wold love to get into the hobby but don't have the money yet. Lol I was think of buying a large land a build a layout and have a large garden and woods to make money and use the engines to haul parts of it. But I'll need a lot of money. Lol
Michael T. Nevada and Arizona are both places I want to spend a little more time in as they could be potential spots. We visited Vegas a few years back and spent most of the week road tripping the area. Great scenery out there. It’s finding work that’s the trick
Those Hudson’s are so good looking
Agreed, though I’m partial to 4-8-4’s, myself!
Wow I love the NYC Hudson, that was to my favorite type locomotive.
same
Really nice! Looks like we might start getting into the warmer temperatures and we will get to see a lot more of these videos, possibly with a little more footage of that Hudson. Thanks steam channel.
If you browse our live steam and grand scale playlist, there are several up already from ILS with the Hudson.
And I thought I was spending crazy money getting back into HO.🤑
Reminds me of old times
awesome video chris!!
Nice job guys
First here yay
Cool.
Wonderful video, big thumbs up :)
I love Hudsons would you do a J3a Hudson for me.
We’re not building engines on request
6:11 what is that noise
6:23 train assault
Nice!
4:48 what is the function of those auxiliary pumps, lubrication?

Thank you! Google “keim steam pumps” and his website should come up for you. Very high quality
@@TheSteamChannel thanks for that! Also, would you by chance know a supplier for 12volt draft inducer fans I could put in the stack to raise steam?
No problem. I believe the guys at our club use vacuum cleaner motors over the stack to draft while firing.
i can imagine this locomotive in real size by watching this video

I love these trains wish I had one very nice very lucky guys indeed great video
What are the things at 2:34?
Im pretty sure those are boosters or something. They were on engines so they can build up enough boiler pressure to get going. They were on the Streamlined New York Hudsons, and I believe it was because they worked poorly at low speeds.

@@GudrezBilly i think thats what it was lol
It’s neither, it’s a water pump to put water into the boiler.
@@TheSteamChannel Yehaw, an answer! Thank you!
How can i buy this trian i am interested to buy can some one tell me bro?
They cost around $1,000-$3,000, depending the brand, size and quality
You can buy them on live steam focused websites
@@leanygreeny9152 lol they cost a lot more than $3000 to build, even a small loco with not much detail is gonna be like $10,000
Do you have to make your own valves as in the things you turn with your hand also do you have to make your own gauges or can you buy them at certain shops?

Nice loco. What coal is that ?
👏👏👏👏👏
Where is the daylight??
Well, I know what I’m making for the science fair
Is there any book that teaches how to make live steam locomotives?
Find so you wat to build a live steam locomotive
Where is this place. I want to visit
This is a private club outside Chicago
Good looking trains but that one guy gotta stop slipping on that track it gets annoying
It seems as though the valve timing is out so three out of four strokes are providing power and one stroke is fighting the movement.
Yeah that’s what I meant I just didn’t wanna type that much and more people would understand
Too bad these nice folks have to live in leftist-controlled Illinois. Then again, I’m from Colorado, so I don’t have much room to talk I guess lol
Yeah, I feel your pain. We will likely be moving to a red state in the future. I’ve had enough of IL and the corruption.

Idaho is calling.. There’s no 1.5” stuff there that I know of there, and I’m moving there...
@@TheSteamChannel come to arizona! Awesome train communities and year round fun
