Best part about Pat, is that he was built off of another loco's tender. Someone looked at an abandoned tender, and thought 'yep, this is shunter material'.
I can definitely see one of the locomotives I suggested in the Discord server. A very well done video documenting some of the rather unique locomotives in the history of railroads and railways
Thank you!
There's a much older steam locomotive in the (American) Smithsonian Museum. The John Bull (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bull_(locomotive) ) was built in 1831, and is displayed in operable condition. The 1931 replica is also operable; I've ridden behind her.@@Southern_Plains_Railfan
I've been in the cab of the UP Big Boy. It was being transferred somewhere back in the 50s when it stopped in my hometown, a Division Pointon the UP. My uncle & my cousin both worked for the road (as had my Dad, my Granddad, and several other cousins). One of them finagled me into the cab. Quite an experience for a little boy fascinated by trains!
Best description of the Soviet diesel/steam hybrid monster I think I've seen. The USSR, incidentally, built probably many more opposed-piston Diesels based on the Fairbanks-Morse than Fairbanks-Morse ever did in the TE3 and TE10 series. If you thought Alcos were smoky look out some videos of those!
4:40, there was CSX #909, which had a Conrail sticker but was immediately removed.

I especially love the little alligator on the train clip, I’ve seen him posted on tumblr singing with his little accordion before and it was a pleasant surprise catching him riding the tail end of a Russian train.
That's Gena from the beloved Soviet children's book (and later film series) _Gena the Crocodile and His Friends_ (which also includes the iconic Cheburashka). Its signature message, _it's not where you come from but kindness that matters,_ still resonates today.
Interesting and cool video and congratulations and your first sponsor
Thank you!
@@Southern_Plains_Railfan you’re welcome
It's a little uncanny seeing my work in another video, but this is a great use of it! There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the TP1-1, and it is made no easier by the fact that the most helpful sources are translated from or are written in russian. I wonder if alot of these contradictions also come from the experimental nature of the locomotive, as the source I viewed in the creation of my model made no mention of diesel as a fuel. Instead the document implied that the coal gas was used to power the internal combustion engine. I have also just found the source you were likely referencing, which described the use of the diesel engine. Certainly an interesting rabbit hole to dive down, though it seems rife with contradictory information.
Have a look at the DR class 19 1001 from Germany. It was a streamlined express steam engine that was powered by four so-called “steam motors”, which powered the four driving axles individually, so there were no connecting rods. For an express engine it had very small driving wheels at just 1250mm or around four feet. Still, it apparently reached a top speed in testing of 186 kph (115 mph), making it one of the fastest European steam locomotives of all.
thats one goofy looking loco
It was ferried to US after WW2 as an war booty. After several years 19 1001 was scrapped. It was very interesting attempt to refresh steam loco's performance, but eventually lost to the diesels and electric locos.
WOOOO let's go! Keep this series chuggin!
We have A67 built 1873 still runs ( numerous rebuilds no doubt )
FCCA is at least part owned by Henry Posner's group, and he worked for Conrail so that might also be a reason.
Amazingly Weird. XD
This is an interesting video to learn about some weird locomotives. A lot of facts I didn’t learn but some I knew.
Finally, a new video
The Fairy Queen aka #22 is a very beautiful steam engine, hope she will keep on running
Indian’s Steam Queen would run on her Wheels
😮
You included 4chan in context and your coupon is for a product I actually want. I like you guys.
Rajiv Was based on real life steam locomotive "The Fairy Queen", also known as the East Indian Railway No. 22, is a steam locomotive which was built in 1855. It was restored by Loco Works Perambur, Chennai in 1997, and housed at the Rewari Railway Heritage Museum.
My favorite bizarre locomotives are the steam-electric and electric-steam, and yes those are two different things. A steam-electric is basically the same principle as a diesel-electric, except with a steam turbine instead of a diesel engine, this was attempted in Chesapeake and Ohio's M-1 streamliner, an absolutely gigantic loco that had a single steam turbine powering four electric generators, which in turn powered eight electric traction motors. Just because they thought it wasn't weird enough, the M-1 was also a tender-tank with a front mounted coal bunker, it still has a water tender in the rear, but the coal is entirely contained in the front third of the locomotive with the cab immediately behind it, which I guess also makes it a cab-forward since the boiler is all behind the cab.
Meanwhile the electric-steam is an entirely different beast, it's a steam locomotive that uses an electric boiler instead of combustible fuel to generate steam, essentially the same as the steam generators on some electric passenger locos, but for traction purposes rather than heating. Basically it's just a very inefficient method of building an electric locomotive but it was done for some very specific circumstances. During World War 2, Swiss Federal Railways were continuing their railway electrification program, and while they'd already gotten over 75% of their rails electrified, they didn't have enough electric locos to do all the work, because there was a war on all the heavy industries they would normally contract for locomotives were busy making tanks, and to make matters worse coal prices were skyrocketing. As a stop-gap measure they comverted a couple of 0-6-0 shunters to use electric boilers powered by overhead wires. It worked, but after the war they were rapidly replaced by "true" electrics. Funnily enough more recently the electric-steam concept was revived in model trains, someone figured out that you can build an extremely tiny steam engine into a model train that uses an electric heating element and draws power from the track just like a standard model train.
what about the French heilmann steam electrical locomotives
Of course the fairt queen was made in England
The intro gets me amped up every time, keep it up man great stuff!
Thank you, will do!
all locomotives are perfect to me no matter what, and the pink Santa Fe Diesel looks good
When I saw PAT I died of laughter
Great video! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Yay! New video outtt!
Edit: PAT MADE IT LETS GO!
Yeah....Frankensteam.
The Fairy Queen is nearly as old as the B-52, lol.
So cool!
This is a nice and interesting video and I have actually been to the Canadian railway museum and I have a picture of 77
A 170 year old locomotive and there’s 2 conrail locomotives in originaly paint works on a short line in Michigan it’s the ELS railroad
i would love to see another video about the other two soviet cotraptions
Those guys are talented to do that
There are two honorable mentions from the German ‚Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft‘. One is 05 003, a cab-forward version of the 05 series high-speed engines (05 002 holds the speedrecord for steamengines until today with 201 km/h, no discussion!) which was powered by coledust and didn’t work really well.
The other one is 19 001, a steam-motor powered engine with 4 V2 steam-motors, also quite fast, 186 km/h. It was taken to the US after the war, as Deutsche Bundesbahn didn’t want to buy it back it was scrapped. 🥲
It's unfortunate that the Soviet Union didn't give a hoot about preserving unique locomotives for future display so that the public could view and learn about these scarce treasures!😢
The stalins made my Russian friend laugh
Also he said if you covered the AA-20 he would’ve been happy
An interesting movie! Especially about the Soviet locomotive. There's a picture from a magazine «Техника - молодёжи», from the article about ТП1. The picture actually shows steam diesel hybrid Locomotive ТП1 (from Kolomna Locomotive Works), but the number (8000) is from a steam diesel hybrid locomotive from another factory (Voroshilovgrad Locomotive Works). I have this magazine (with error on the picture)
Thank you to all the Discord server members who submitted locomotives for this video! If you would like to join the Discord Server, just click the link! discord.gg/TFm76w9MtW
4:41 should we count the CSX one?
Bad choice of shots. CSX has controversially chosen to paint the heritage liveries only on the rear halves of the locomotives.
I'm fond of the compressed air powered locomotives. Great big riveted tanks of air - dirigibles squeezed down really, really tiny!
Brass modelers: ❤️👄❤️
Lol
Love that Soviet crocodile.
11:23 Tobias and the Half Pariah was real
What about Pat and the Half Pariah
When will the next vid come and great vid
You missed the biggest strongest and strangest of all you missed the trick ",Beyer Peacock"!!!
Pat is one weird switcher
maybe not weird, but definitely interesting.
On many a CHINESE steam loco i saw
The the exhaust steam from the pistons was lead up to the funnel.
Suppose this would -dilute- the smoke?
But also helped to extinguish any sparks that begun many a fire on the sides of the rail tracks?
За крокодила Гену респект и лайк!
Could you provide the link/info for the version of the Wellerman you used in the video?
Yep! Here you are. ruclips.net/video/1OhPUGq6e6o/видео.html
@@Southern_Plains_Railfan thank you
If you think that Russian loco was interesting see the Kitson-Still loco built by the same maker as Fairy Queen.
I can't see that anything we make today can last half that long! "Oh, sorry, doesn't work with the latest software etc!"
Now I have to kitbash a Pat!
Mount Washington no. 4: Pathetic
The Austrian electric locomotive BBO 1082 class built in 1931, although an electric locomotive, it looked like a steam locomotive. Only one built. Scrapped during WW2.
Something similar as that Irish "Pat" locomotive is pictured in Hajao Mijazaki anime movie Castle in the sky.
While not a locomotive, I'm not sure any list of this type is complete without the M497 rail car. In all seriousness though, I think what most people that look at the history of the railways miss is that for half of its lifetime railways where the cutting edge of technology, as an engineer, inventor, this is what was pushing the edge of our understanding not just of trains, but of many other areas of research, so the amount of dead-ends are actually to be expected.
what is that stop motion called?
How about the "Leader" of the UK Southern Railway.
On your first sponsor
I want that toy so bad I just can’t afford it 😭
And what is with the belgian hexaplex steam engine?
What train is that the green one 0:16
It was one of the world's first monorails.
Ok@@Southern_Plains_Railfan
There is actually a video of a steam diesel hybrid locomotive in you tube. Just type теплопаровоз
0:32 i just noticed these are the the same pair of geeps my dad filmed back in July (the bnsf geep was 3013 in the unedited version): ruclips.net/user/shortsq9azV2_iUDQ?feature=share
what is that giant loco at the start of the vid?
Toot - big boy
cool
Thanks!
fairy queen is not the train that i dont know it is the most british engines i've ever seen
please do a video on
the porters steam loco
the Japanese class d5,
the Chinese QJ 2,10,2
or just exsamples of asian trains
how do gear trains work
something on saddle bolier and side tanks (like the big water boxes) tank engines
double ended diesel trains (and electric)
eletric trains
American and European switches other then the British class 07-09
what to do if the train stalls
one talking about the different types of steam funnles and there uses,
a video on steam locomotive combination breaks (steam and vacuum brakes)
a short video on how a Armstrong turn table works
what did train flagman do
what did trains (mostly steam) do when going in tunnels, ive heard of gas masks or just useing a wet cloth, or did they bring in other engines like later on they used electric trains, or were there no bigv tunnels.
evaluation of electric trains
why are some trains wagion tops (the stream lining thing to boilers)
railway terms abd slang
one on the meaning of flag and lantern colors like green on rear engine means theres another one coming soon,
the different types of cut offs/reversers/Johnson bar
some are a big lever, some are a big valve wheel, and ive also seen some that are like rods, one exsample is train sim world 3 and im not sure where to find the other reverser
and how much water do steam trains take usually, and how much would the crew drink
Hopefully
@@rdallas81 probably not but im going to keep asking people for this
@@theromanorder some trains used to have water scoops to pick up water from between the tracks, and even other ways too.
@@rdallas81 im aware of that and thank you for trying to help,
But wich question were you trying to answer sorry?
@@theromanorder seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you
There's an electric bicycle ad before this video that's 8:29 long, with no way to skip it. Not the way I'd want to show my product - just saying.
I want him to do a video with his natural voice.
England has no queen except the one used in a chess board, that is.
England has a King. King Charles III
I'm guessing this is a re-upload of an old video.
You got Camilla.
@@yomuno2511 ok. Fair enough.
She seems nice, I will accept that.
The last queen of England was Anne until 1707, the title then changes to the Queen of the United Kingdom, King Charles is the king of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth countries.
@@chrisstevens463 ok. Nice to know that. Thanks
nice vie
RUclips would be a better place with more southern accents
Love Soviet locomotives
Queen of Great Britain........
I'm going to get on my hobby horse: something cannot be very unique. Unique is "unlike anything else" and has no superlative. More unique, most unique or very unique are nonsensical statements!!!! Like being dead: you cannot be deader than dead. Or pregnant: you are or you are not!!! You can't be pregnanter than pregnant!! If you're going to go public, make sure your grammar is correct.
what kind of english do you speak , just in case....?
The Wild West circa 1840
I HATE this video!
