Test Start of N&W Fairmont MR19 Rail Speeder

wiring project mostly completed with the alternator installation done so a test start is in order with all the new wiring. Handheld shaking, sorry.

Thank you roadking through him I found your channel I love anything railroad. This is cool

[@HawksFootSection]

Most excellent video of a rare car! I like what you did with your wiring. I have an N&W M-19. Something about them, neat cars.

[@rdg2124]

Thanks. 5-year old mixed gas that had evaporated into mostly oil didn't help the starting.

Great video. I have an Milwaukee Road MT19A that I'm hoping this will be the year I get going again.

[@rdg2124]

Good luck!

Back in the day, my mom used to call speeders "putt putts".

[@rdg2124]

Yes, they have been called putt-putts, poppers, jiggers, rail speeders, trackcars, motorcars, railcars, pop cars, all sorts of names. Thanks for watching.

So good

[@rdg2124]

Thanks.

Me and my friend might save up for a speeder where can we run one?

[@rdg2124]

Check out North American Railcar Operators Association on the web.

I bought this car in 1991 from an exNKP depot agent. He bought? it from N&W. I had car over 20 years then sold it to a man in Texas. Wish I had kept it. Original numbers on car. Where are you located? The car was re restored by the Texas owner.

[@rdg2124]

Neat information, thanks for sharing. I first saw this car in 2004 in MI.

I would have opted for Honda motorcycle coolant over water in the radiator. Water has no rust and corrosion inhibitor.

[@rdg2124]

Interesting. It's a condenser which condenses the steam back to water while running down the tracks. Non-pressurized system too. Thanks for watching.

[@illiniwood]

@@rdg2124 Oh, I see. I'm definitely out of my lane on this one. Thanks for the correction.

[@rdg2124]

@@illiniwood Not really, many have never seen such an engine before. They look like a hit & miss engine but are actually 2-cycle and fire on every revolution. Rather rare actually. I'm going to try to do a video on how these engines are constructed and how they work.
