F-14s try not to be the best proportioned ten wheelers ever constructed for standard gauge rails challenge (Impossible) Some other fun facts about them that I forgot to mention in the video: -F-14s produced steam so well that 35 of the 38 never received superheaters from the start to end of their service. The 3 that got them was merely an experiment, being redesignated to 'Fs-14'. But simply put, they literally didn't need superheaters, they were that good, lmao. -With how short and light Trains 97 and 36 were, F-14s were capable of reaching incredible speeds of up to around 85 if you pushed them hard enough. -Not only were they fast, but having around 31,000lbf of tractive effort gave you a lot of options too. Tests showed that they hardly noticed a 1-2% grade even when running at the speed limit instead of free-bird'ing. -For a time, they were the largest ten wheelers in the country. That is, of course, until the Pennsy Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V'd an E6 boiler onto a 4-6-0 frame and stole the show. -More of a rant, but F-14s were more than capable of jobs other than mail, but never got to do anything else throughout their lives. Lots of potential wasted, imo
So far it's been my favorite route to run her on, very open and a very similar landscape and scenery to the lines that trains 97 and 36 ran on IRL. Very great job on the route
The East Tennessee & Western North Carolina, affectionately known as "The Tweetsie", was a most unusual line having both standard and narrow gauge lines on its system, which ran from Johnson City, Tennessee to Boone, North Carolina, a total of 65.3 miles, not including a 2.6 mile branch from Montezuma to Pineola. Although the standard gauge portion of the line survives to this day, the 3-foot gauge trackage was abandoned in 1950. As the train winds its way along 3-foot gauge line, we are guests in the caboose, and later on, in the cab of the little Baldwin engine. Winding through the Doe River Gorge, we're reminded of other narrow gauge lines much farther West - how lucky we are to have this record of this wonderful line. Although the narrow gauge portion of Tweetsie closed down in 1950, Engine number 12, Combine/Chair 15, and Excursion Car 11 are still in service as tourist hauler at Blowing Rock, North Carolina, also known as "The Tweetsie". As the Crew goes about their daily business, of setting out, picking up freight cars, and caring for the little Baldwin, we are treated to sights long forgotten in modern railroading. It is interesting to note from the company time table, dated October 15th 1883, that, quoting; "Through the gorge, and at all points where the rock or land slides are possible and in descending heavy grades trains must be kept under perfect control, and speeds must not exceed 6 miles per hour" end quote. And also the time table cautioned, "Trains must not under any circumstances run at a higher rate of speed than 15 miles per hour.". Have you ever seen a brakeman working his way over the tops of the cars with a brake club?
Amazing Cars, Amazing Engines, I strangely like the ET&WNC Schemes, they actually look like they were kind of made for the Railroad. Anyways, Great Pack all around!
Yup I've got to fix that water audio. Somehow me telling my computer to stop all pings decided that discord would still be allowed to go through XD. Very nice work on the engine and consist!
Question? Is it out now or just still in the works? But I do love the work you did for the locomotive by far one of my favorite locomotives and what kind of whistles you use at 1:03 and at 10:09?
This project will never be released, it'd be a waste. The first whistle is a standard Baldwin 3 chime (Not sure what size), second is a Southern top-lever 3 chime. (Also not sure of the specifics, but whatever it is, it's recorded off of Southern 401)
This has been a dream HO scale project of mine for a long time. Is there any possibility of 3D printing a model from your renders? I saw that you had it in blender

Its nice to see the old southern girl in her full glory.
Why do we have hands?
There are many Reasons:
- Pat the F-14
- Cherish the F-14
- Forfeit all mortal possessions to the F-14
Man, that end bit with the Ol' 97 consists through the years is just so...incredible. Awesome to see how far you've come!
Holy moly! You have no idea how much joy fills my heart seeing a ten wheeler run on Sweet Carolina! I can't wait to see what the F-12 will look like!

Honestly, this is the best Trainz model I've ever seen someone make, you could definitely give K&L Trainz a run for their money!
Those coaches have the most beautiful paint scheme I’ve ever seen
Outstanding work, I love your dedicated research.
The ET&WNC livery looks smart on 1102, not gonna lie.

@@carolinacentralrwy Tweetsie, can confirm

this reminds me of a certain Johnny Cash song.

You can't escape the ping it will always find you YOU GOTTA CHECK YOUR MESSAGES MAN-
Dawg sold his soul to the southern railway just to make this accurate
this is a true stillhouse trestle moment
I am sad I'll never be able to try it out myself but I understand your reason why
Red. You nailed the shit out of this. I salute your efforts. o7
I'm not trying to be silly or anything but where did you find those high quality F14 diagrams you used to make 1102 from?
Question? Is it out now or just still in the works? But I do love the work you did for the locomotive by far one of my favorite locomotives and what kind of whistles you use at 1:03 and at 10:09?

Ok thanks man I could try to make my southern 1102 on my little big planet which I showed on one of my shorts
I like the model❤
Nice
This has been a dream HO scale project of mine for a long time. Is there any possibility of 3D printing a model from your renders? I saw that you had it in blender
I have actually considered that, haven't really looked much into it yet though. But one day, probably
Is this released on any website of any kind
No
