      @@CelestialDynamicsYT I'm sorry, but clearly anyone who says that is jealous that they don't have that game. "Just a video game"?! Just those video games are some of our lives! Some of us don't have any work, don't have any options around us and rely on that game to get subs for our paycheck. So it's not "Just a video game", It's our lifeblood. The very thing keeping our railfanning fire alive. It's our treasure. IT'S OUR MOST PRIZED POSSESION AND WE'RE PROUD OF IT! WE'RE PROUD TO LOVE TRAIN GAMES! WE DON'T MIND ADMITTING IT!

    You are a very brave man to start this project. I have seen other projects, here in the Frankfurt Industrial Railway Museum, Germany. It could become a "bottomless pit". But after years with sweat and tears, the incredible reward is the moment when the first steam goes into the cylinders, and it starts to be alive again. Good luck for you and your friends.

    Thats an amazing little engine(s) you got! Glad to see it being restored. Thanks for the sneak-peak; I'll definitely be watching out for the next episode! (I assumed what the sneak-peak would have been about, given the spare funnel [at least, it looks like one from that angle] you pointed out around the 4:21 mark. Turns out I was correct!)
    I am curious about your little engine though. A lot of industrial engines were named, if not officially, by their operator crews. Do you know if your engine was named? I know it is a long shot, as a lot of these engines' names weren't plated, and just passed verbally by the crews, but figured I would ask, nonetheless.
    Congrats on what you've done so far, and good luck for the future! Looks like you got

    Many people would look at that engine and just see a pile of scrap iron. I see the engine it was and can be again - and a whole mountain of work to get there. I'm glad someone is saving it. And I'm also glad it's not me. Dad and I worked on restoring several old tractors from the 20's and 30's when he was alive and I was a lot younger. But this project is bigger than anything I'd want to tackle :)

Fortunately everything went smoothly. By the way: It's always impressive how strong wood is. 2) You already mentioned to have a good respectively spare boiler. Therefore I guess that this is what got delivered. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video.

    Sneak peeks and easter eggs eh? I'm not smart enough for all this cloak-and-dagger stuff. In the final scene we see a (the?) boiler on a flatbed. Looks like the tubes have been removed and there is some weird plumbing on the firebox top sheet. Could it be that this is a donor boiler? Hmmm.
    What I am interested in seeing is down between the frames, to the axles and eccentrics. I wonder if any damage was done when they converted it to gas power. They must have welded a sprocket to one of the axles. Did they damage the eccentrics? Are the rods and expansion links still in there, or in your pile of junk? Inquiring minds want to know!
