Received mine yesterday and this is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is a fan of N&W steam. The footage is priceless. 5 stars!!!
This is railroading at its finest! What more could anyone ask for?
Models of these beasts.
Y6B and A Class N&W Steamers are available in HO and O. MTH Makes an A class and a Y6B. I'm not sure who the HO manufacturers are, but I know they are out there. I had an MTH A Class, but sold it to get a Y6B which I still have. It's my coal hauler. Search for O gauge of HO gauge Y6B on You Tube and you'll find videos of them. Or Google it.
g bridgman do by chance happen to have an HO scale FEF?
that you could sell to me?
I don't have any HO trains, at least not for sale. My layout is O gauge. Go to ebay and search for UP FEF in HO. I bet you'll find some. I assume that's what you're looking for? A 4-8-4? Any particular road name? I assumed Union pacific, but maybe I'm wrong.
We will always remember steam and the Norfolk and western
Amazing: when passing the Y6b at the front of the train, from 0.59 to 1:06 the raising steam from the helper at the rear is visible and gives an impression of the length of this train. Excellent video! Thank you!
@david245611 Actually, the Y class engines had an entirely different sound. They had a "slosshy" sound which you can hear in this preview. The A class has a sharper exhaust. The Y class could run in either compound or simple settings and each of those had a different sound. If you go to the preview of Pocahontas Glory Vol. 7, you can hear actual sounds of a Y6 on a mine run where it was recorded in both compound and simple operation.
Ilove the old steam boat whistles on the big Mallet engines on N&W
Steam boat whistles? The Mallets (and the "A"s) use hooter whistles.
+09trainman indeed. 1 chimes I believe.
ktrainbfs Yep, 1 chime, like the PRR Banshee whistle.
The Glory Days of Norfolk & Western Steam 🚂
As a Brit it always comes as a bit of a shock at the sheer size of the locos and the lengths of the trains. Impressive shots in this video, pretty countryside as well. Great stuff !
thanks to all the people who had taken videos of things like this it gives a solid spot of proof of what life once was
Could you imagine watching all this action on a daily basis? I would have been like a kid in a candy store. Really suburb quality for 1950's film.
The N&W wanted to make sure that the coal train gets over that hill.
Gotta get this video
steam is king
Amen to that!
Amen!
thanks for the ride,absolutely wonderful.
With a modern fleet and unlimited source of fuel, N&W steam could have run well into the 70's, if not longer.
In my utopia, all railroads would have done that instead of just replacing them all.
PRR5406 Yep Why dieselize when we are burning the product we carry? John Henry was not an impressive display I was told but minus extra crew, Greasing,Water and all that diesel made sense money wise.We were still the last steam Railroad in America.
Those companies that catered to the steam locomotive, and sold appliances like the feedwater pump, turbo generator, cold water pump etc, and all the various parts that went to them, would all be going out of business! N&W would've had to make all replacements in-house! Business-wise it simply made good economic sense to retire steam.
N&W in its prime
The N&W in the 50s were awesome times
Yes, your freight trains really are awesome. Loved to have been around where this vid was shot, must have been amazing. On my shopping list for sure. ^_^
I love to have this DVD!
That is an experience of a lifetime!
This must be a classic...
cheers
i liked the part of the helper cutting off on the fly,, you are not permitted to do that today.
Massive heavy coal drag , mighty Y6 pusher
Yes David, the whistles on Y and A class N&W engines are the same. The passenger engines had chime whistles.
hrvideo great video! why the two different colors of exhaust at 2:55?
im buying this at the Allentown train show comeing up in feb 2015
cool Y6b
Your 5 inch gauge Y6b is also awesome! Since you like N&W and Y6 class engines, check out the preview of Pocahontas Glory Volume 7, also here on You Tube. You'll find Y6 class locos in all of the Pocahontas Glory videos plus A, J, K, M, and S1 class steam power, all in actual service in the 1950's. We ship to Germany frequently. -JH
@IllinoisTrains1 if you properly bank the fire, a steam locomotive can go a day or two without attention. By that i mean they can sit idle with a hot fire to keep pressure at a certain level. this saves coal and eliminates the need for a night hostler. It must be done properly though or it wont work correctly. steam does have its efficiencies over diesels too, but the overall easy diesel out modes steam efficiencies.
i want this dvd
@kmothersil To answer your question it is just the problem of economics. Steam locomotives are extremely labor instensive and require constant attention. With desiels you can just turn them off for the night and walk away, something you can't do with steam. Plus steam uses a lot of coal (or oil) and water to keep pressure that must be refilled often. Desiels in some application can go their entire trip without refueling. I, like you, would rather see steam but I understand why we don't see steam
アメリカの蒸気機関車ファンになってしまう‼️
Excelente
@beowulf3075 Yep. You folks over there have some pretty good passenger trains, but North America has some awesome freight!
why did n&w use auxes?
@tradomanico - I'm willing to bet that garbage has a much lower calorific content than even lignite coal, let alone anthracite. You would simply have to carry too much of the stuff to give the loco a reasonable range before refuelling.
Just...plain...AWESOME
Filmed in my backyard, ole Blue Ridge!
Stupid diesels
@bra5187 Your 5 inch gauge Y6b is awesome, too. Why not order the DVD of Pillars of Smoke in the Sky? We've sent several copies to Germany. -J H
@kmothersil - Google "West Coast Rail Australia".
Why don't they find a way to transform garbage into fuel (by using a process the least detrimental to nature) instead of dumping it in the environment.
Steam locomotives could come back in a more modern type using this cheap type of fuel.
J'arrête de visionner cette vidéo,le narrateur rotes,eructes,c'est ignoble
