@@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!

@@CallMeCoal I have RO it's one of my favorite games, and I'm not calling the game insignificant, it's just that the locomotive is an an actual piece of history with its own story. That's all. Also the wonderful people in the video probably don't know about railroads online (could be wrong)
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.
Just wanted to say the editing of this video is a vast improvement over the first! Dialing the music back was definitely the right choice, this feels so relaxing to watch now. Best of luck to you!
Thhe first steps to bringing this little engine back to life. Always great when history can be saved! Best of luck for the rails ahead, we're all routing for her!
This is going to be great. I wish had found this channel 5 years from now so I could binge watch this all the way to the end! (I guess I can be patient) Good luck to you, and film EVERYTHING!
Great second video! I’m sure Porter heads alike have been waiting patiently.. Our little 3” Scale Porter hauled 335 happy Halloween passengers last night.. Porter strong 💪🚂
@@Wreck2Restored They were small awkward shoes in the first videos - they only became big shoes as the project and the content-making experience was acquired. I'm sure in 5 years your shoes will be just as big. Looking forward to the project. Get your patrion set up...!!!
Great video again, if this channel keeps growing it might contribute revenue to the project. 7k subscribers in 2 videos is really good. I encourage you to do some research on how to start a successful youtube channel.
Great start to restoring her. I'm really looking forwards to watching this unfold. That old JCB 3CX sounds rough as a bears arse! Spent many hours driving them less than 2 miles from where they were built!
I was wondering what that was, it looked kinda 80s, if that makes sense. Lots of angles, square headlights, sealed cab, clean-ish lines. It's so fun watching old equipment still at work.
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 :)
Yes!! New episode. I WILL SUPPORT THIS VIDEO AND PROJECT!! (Note: for 0:04 it is meant for a tutorial. DON'T LIE!! I WANT TO DO THAT TO IN THE FURTURE!! KEEP GOING THE PROJECT I SUPPORT!!)
That will depend on whether the boiler can be rebuilt (or replaced) and becomes certifiable. Wouldn't want to try to raise a head of steam in anything we've seen so far :)
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). Obviously the backhoe was just as it's end/peak of capacity. I was holding my breath while it was driving with the load. 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. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved. Post Scriptum: This time I subscribed.
Congratulations, lots of hardwork in perspective, we can see that the cast iron front boiler support seems breaked around where the bolts is, under the smokebox, how you imagine fix that ? I wish you success for this great project.🤗
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!
It's a beginning. Please consider laying out the small parts so we can get an idea of what is there. Are any of the chunks of the saddle still around? The smoke box door?

This is one of those situations where you can see why the businesses and big shops invest in gantries and such. Moving things that are more than 10x human body weight starts becoming very difficult with hand tools.
I found your channel only a couple weeks, and I'm already hooked! Will you try to restore the boiler, or is it too rotten to be more than a pattern for a new boiler?
Well guessing this is going to be my my main focus for a bit. Fudge, next video, when is the next video, come on it cant be that hard to fully restore a STEAM LOCOMOTIVE!!!!! I want the next video now, boohoo boohoo....
It really says something about tge build quality of these little engines that one can be pulled apart, pushed into a ditch, and be reassembled with decent stability. What are you restoring first? I'd assume the frame rails.
Shame it is isn't a professional guide, but that could be an excuse to make my own guides that actually are helpful one day assuming I get that far. Still neat.
I'm glad stumbled onto your channel. I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. As far as length goes, keep them short and sweet. I don't have the attention span for long videos. 😉
GREAT CONTENT CANT WAIT FOR MORE I LOVE EVERYTHING 2-FOOT GREW UP IN MASS AND WENT TO EDAVILLE R.R. EVERY CHRISTMAS EVERY YEAR AND THEN WHEN THEY MOVED BACK TO MAINE THERE WAS A A LIST AND A B LIST AND THE B LIST CONSISTED OF LOCO #7 FORNEY AND MANY PEICES OF ROLLING STOCK AND THEN THE GROUPS OVER THE YEARS THAT HAVE HAD A RUN AT IT AQQUIRED MORE MOTIVE POWER AND ROLLING STOCK ,FUN TIMES !
I know that you don’t want to say exactly where you are but I was wondering if you would give us the state that you are in. I am working on my own two foot gauge railroad, no locomotive yet, but I know possible sources for cars and other items. Those cab lights are going to be a hard find, as a collector I wouldn’t mind finding one myself.
Id love to donate some parts to this restoration. Im a machinist by trade, having been one for 7 years but am by no means an expert. I also dont have access to large machine tools (my kingdome for a Bridgeport). But i can still hold a couple thou tolerances on some decent sized parts.
Excellent! Are you also following the two-foot-gauge Wiscasset Waterville and Farmington Railway 's restoration work? They've restored a couple and are in the process of a new-build two-foot steam locomotive. www.youtube.com/@WWFRailway/featured And thanks for keeping music to the outro.
I suffered through the first installment, That noise masquerading as music was insufferable, If I may make some suggestions, 1 NO MUSIC, your commentary is excellent without the background din, 2 make your videos 20 mins or longer, 3 try release at LEAST 1 video per week, even if its just minutiae, flotsam or waffle its still very interesting...thanks and good luck...btw I have a 24 inch gauge industrial loco myself...so I'm living vicariously through your restoration
I do support the 3 suggestions very much! His voice is clear and very understandable. He might train to comment while working, to create weekly content like > twinstick garage
This little locomotive had a tough life, it's great to hear that it's finally getting some love! It should get its own name at some point.
Yes, I agree, I think it should be Betsy, after the smallest Loco on railroads online
@@christopherwood4045 I second that!
Eh, thats just a video game, not worth naming it after that. But betsy is a fitting name in my opinion.

So fascinating to watch the tanks and boiler lifted at the same time! I am following this project with great interest!

Far better than the noisy first episode, much easier to watch and follow along. I'm now subscribed.

Totally unrelated but nice to see a JCB 3CX at work in the states! Fairly rare I gather… one round every corner here in the UK.
JCB’s are common in the U.S.A. a friend of mine had a new one in the 1990’s
Glad you enjoyed that, it's a really great tractor!
lets go ep2

happy to see part 2 up! i JUST saw part 1 a few minutes before you posted this lol
Very cool
Fantastic. More please.
I'm looking forward to following you guys on this journey
Will this steam locomotive run? I can't wait for episode 3!
Considering they’re calling it a restoration, one would assume so
That will depend on whether the boiler can be rebuilt (or replaced) and becomes certifiable. Wouldn't want to try to raise a head of steam in anything we've seen so far :)
Looking forward to more!
I've waited for this one to come!
Exciting ..cant wait till the next update .
Really fun to watch how you are doing to save all the parts.

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!
Im very interested in how they converted it as well and how hard itll be to convert it back.
It's a beginning. Please consider laying out the small parts so we can get an idea of what is there. Are any of the chunks of the saddle still around? The smoke box door?
We'll cover a bit more of the in depth details next episode. Unfortunately the saddle chunks are long gone. Thanks for watching!

Very interesting how the boiler was removed from the frame. Regards.
So cool
Thanks for taking in the feedback on the music brother. I'm wondering if this is going to be a rebuild or just a straight up build
Definitely a rebuild. I'll give you more details in the next video.
