14:48 Awwww thank you guys! It was so much fun hanging out with you all during Railfest. I am working on a big project to tell the Overfair's Story. The first "chapter" will be done in June and will be on the @OverfairPacificRailroad channel (formerly Swanton Pacific). If you want to see the Overfair locomotives in-person, come out to the Best of the West Show at The Historic Santa Margarita Ranch during Memorial Day weekend!
6:35 has a story I would like to share. I volunteered there about 3 years ago and every morning they go out for an inspection and to wax the rails so the wheels don’t squeak when the trains go by since the curves are so tight. And to wax and you hold a candle off the edge of a flatbed and just put it up on the rail. Since I was the smallest one there at the time, it was easiest for me to do it since I had young bones and a good back. So we head out on the little red speeder and just reach the long section of straight track and outcomes Switch the railroad dog. He was over 10 years old and. The sweetest boxer dog I had ever seen. He get on the embankment above the rail line and starts running ahead and I felt like the 1860s when a horse would run by or even faster than a locomotive just a fun story and great place to volunteer.
I love how relaxed Brett looks at 13:12 of this video. Such a relaxed and happy smile as he enjoys the ride. It looks you all had a load of fun on this trip.
Geeze absolutely love these road trip videos with you and your crew. Takes me back 40ish years with my crew sadly a number of them have caught out on the westbound over the years. Seriously Hyce with the amount of pop culture references fly fast and loose not a single Homer Simpson ohh donuts reference? 😊
OMG, this installment was too fabulous for words. Absolutely blown away by the variety of choo choos there and their beauty takes my breath away. But just as fun is the feeling of having virtually come along to experience all this with you guys! Such a privilege. What an amazingly impressive railroad and crew. Thank you Brett for this latest video it was first rate. A triptych of the beautiful Hillcrest and Wahtoke RR for sure! So enjoyed this and many thanks again to you Brett, Leighton and the fabulous Professor for showing us around this railroad treasure! As always cheers to you guys!
The sun at the start of your journey reminds me of the time my girlfriend & I were having our road trip across the country to Colorado. Before we made it to your neck of the woods though, we were passing through Kansas City right at sunset. Man, nothing made the fact that we were experiencing our first grand adventure going west through the great plains quite as much as that long, long, long sunset right in front of our eyes, making it incredibly nerve-wracking to drive.
the #13 has to be the most beautiful locomotive on that railroad, in my honest opinion *hears human whistling* *IMMEDIATELY STARTS WHISTLING ALONG* pardon me what rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic plays between 4:21 and ~6:26?
Glad you guys had a ball at the H&W RR, and here in CA again. (For the record, talking to 800 people sometimes is the joy of any of these kind of events.) Glad you got to do an interview with the Overfair folks. They really are gems, and I look forward to seeing that come out.
0:10 - Back in my training time, we somehow ended up *constantly* running to Leipzig, back before the high speed line was built. So a few hours of running straight East in the morning and straight West in the afternoon/evening. Yeah. Always straight into the sun, especially in winter time. Great. 😂 1:00 - If I may give some constructive criticism; car noise lowers the intelligibility of the dialogue substantially, so the music was a bit too much in this instance. At least to me as a non-native speaker it was difficult to follow along what you were saying, which normally is not a problem at all on your videos. 2:09 - Love that motor draisine or whatever you'd call it. All in all, I really enjoyed that video. Seems like that was a marvellous field trip for all of you. Nice to see you enjoying yourself that much =) On a TOTALLY different note, but I might just drop it here just as well as anywhere else: Did you see the video from a few days ago of a tornado hitting a locomotive dead on, filmed by the train crew? I'm quite happy that's not something we deal with over here. The collegues stayed very cool and relaxed, which is the very right thing to do, but also astonishing in the extent shown. I'm quite confident I'd handle such a situation calmly, too - it's just what we as train drivers have to do. BUT I'd certainly have had some significantly shakier voice 😅
Thanks for the feedback my friend! Brett edited these videos as a huge help to me - I'll be sure to pass it along. Always more little details to learn in that space. I need to find a way to make the lav mics interface with phones, lol! I did see that tornado video. Scary as hell.
I haven't watched the whole episode yet but at 4:42 I see Billy Jones engine #2, I'm really hoping its history is touched upon in the video later. To me it has a pretty interesting story.
Some of the miniature engines running these days are just as if not more historic and have more stories to tell than their full sized counterparts. For example; LBSC's original Ayesha, which proved that the coal fired fire tube boiler, was possible in 2.5" gauge still exists, still runs, and is pulled out for special occasions by its owner. It is an extremely important engine in the hobby! Miniature foaming is a very real thing 🤣
If it's private and not open to giving rides to the public no if you are giving rides to the public then yes you need certifications witch ones depend on your local gov
in california to operate with the public it is treated the same as any other amusement park... that miniature railroad technically has to follow all the same rules that disneyland does.
I think the steam boilers have to have their own yearly cert as well, but that might be just for insurance. If you're not open to the public and not going to kill anyone but yourself if it blows, insurance and therefore cert may be entirely your choice.
Apologies mate! I haven't gotten the end updated this month yet. It'll be sorted shortly :D a lot of these videos were rendered ahead of time and that always messes with things.

The roundhouse is adorable…… Love 3/4 Roadtrip!

These locos look SO GOOD the people look out of scale, not the equipment! :) An insane amount of work...

That background music is not escaping my notice! Love a new track when it comes along! 👀
I'm so tempted to get some land and starting doing some of this myself, it looks so fun.
Fantastic show thank you

I wish I filmed the Billy Jones wildcat stuff more. We learned a ton that weekend but it wasn't when cameras are rolling. Really cool stuff.
This is amazing!
2-4-0 19 is my favorite train because I’m from utah
4:40 is this guitar a resonator? Also this is the best saints go marching in rendition I've ever heard.
That's part of the Wings & Strings melody. I'm pretty sure it's a down tuned banjo, haha.
I'm guessing the rusted locomotive is one of the burned up Swanton pacific locomotives
Correct.
@@Hyce777 it is sad what happened after the fire...
we really need a hyce vlogs channel
I love these!
Really cool!
Man, the CoS OST is gonna kick unfathomable amounts of ass.
I'm curious what soundtrack you used around the 5 minute mark, lotta civil war era tunes in there.
Foaming. But smaller.
Mini foaming

Lol, it's not even one in my regular catalog! Some day. lol!
What is the name of the song in all of your outtros/end credits? I NEED that song/version on my Spotify.

Yes. I witnessed a fan throwing mystery citrus at Leighton. It was all in good fun
Several!

If only I had the money To build engines that are so nice.

Hey hyce I have a question how hard would it be build 491 in that gauge
I'm thinking it would be much more complex and much heavier; would therefore have to have much heavier track laid. . .
Would depend.
however it's not impossible to make a minature 491. Might be a bit costly though.
I'm surprised that the bigger prairie didn't pull passenger trains

Do you have to have a special license or anything to have a railroad like this.
yes, although i dont know exactly what
If it's private and not open to giving rides to the public no if you are giving rides to the public then yes you need certifications witch ones depend on your local gov

Is this 15” gauge?
