Man it's interesting to see how much Mill Creek Central has changed in the last 8 years! Sadly the owner of the Q2 passed away in that time, one very gracious man, and an excellent machinist! We miss you Joe!
Mik Moen Mik, you are correct. The generic name of this hobby is "live steam". If you go back to my channel, under the Live Steam playlist, you will find one of the best appointed channels with live steam videos.
How impressive a Q-2 with a wonderful whistle to boot, great work!! Was it from a kit or scratch built? No matter what, it looks and sounds great, thanks for showing it to us.
Tinsby Thank you for the kind words. The older gentleman in the back is the builder. The younger one in the front is the driver. My understanding is that the locomotive was completely built from scratch.
Well my hat is off to both of them. It's a shame that PRR couldn't find room to save many of it's one of a kind locomotives. The T-1. the S-2. Q-1, Q-2 all come to mind. I am near the RR museum of Pa. It's one thing to 'save' these engines, but a sad one to watch the weather destroy them bit by bit. I will subscribe to your channel and thanks again!
Yes indeed I have, I can appreciate the skill, time and devotion it takes to make one of these beauties.What scale are they built to? Years ago while working for Amtrak I met a man named Porter Hoopes, who had a live steam RR near Devon, Pa. in his backyard. I never got to see it run, but he was kind enough to show me his shop and the live steamer he had built and one he was working on. Needless to say he's long gone and I haven't a clue where his engines ended up. When I'd go past on the train we'd always look for his RR and hope it was operating. He had a complete machine shop in his basement. It was kind of him to show us everything, since we came without an invitation., guess the Amtrak ID helped me there.
Thanks for the kind comment. I am in Ohio. You can look up my track by searching with keywords “Whiskey Creek”. The locomotive in the above video is not mine and is running at Mills Creek Central.
Just to explain the slipping of the PRR Q-2... Because of the long rigid wheelbase any imperfections in track work are magnified.... The drivers can only DROP down so far to grab the rail for traction..... Front and rear wheel sets are chained together... One set slips they both slip.. So the issue has nothing to do with the problems the full size locomotive had........
Is there any kits of these or a website you can buy kits from or do you have to custom build everything? If anyone has any websites could you please link me. I haven't found anything on google.
Most of the engines are custom built. What you see in this video is clearly custom built. A few companies sell ready-to-run locomotives. As a kit, I only know Wayne Godshall Custom Machining. If you contact Wayne, let him know that I gave you a referral. Wayne has been servicing my locomotive for years.
This is how it is done in the live steam hobby. You have the pleasure to drive your train instead of just watching it in smaller scales. It is as close as it goes to scale 1:1.
Can you please clarify what was the motivation / history behind this big scale model of train which people can ride upon ? I thought train lovers normally have small model train set in their homes etc. This is first time I saw model train being ridden by people.
80Vikram Well, there are all kind of scales. It goes from 1/220 ( Z scale) all the way to 1/2, which you find in amusement parks. In larger scale, you have ride-behind, ride-on and ride-in. What you see is 7.5" gauge, 1/8 scale. This is ride-on. I have more than a hundred videos of this hobby; just search for "live steam" in my channel. Enjoy!!!
3:20 What appears to be a female operates a locomotive. There may be a crash or health and safety risk. I don't think female operation should be encouraged. Men have certain skills necessary for safe running.

So sad that Joe passed away. I need to go back to Mills Creek and see the changes.
Just the right size for a...LAWN CHAIR)))!!!!! Gotta love it!
James Amazing comment.
What a looking,the small coal engine 🙏🙏👍.
Big scale engine.
Respect to these guys they build these loco's from scratch I think I'm clever when I change the discs on my car.
Dave J-R In deed.
HOLY SHIT THAT Q2!!!!!!!!!!!! Was there last year, they've got quite a nice railroad.
+Steven Michael In deed.
Nice job! I decided to make my own live steam locomotive after this. Such beautiful things these. I have liked them since I was a kid.
Neon Tube , where do you stand with your locomotive?
1:30 It's actually like I'm looking at a full scale train going by, but then this gigantic Human is just sitting on one of the cars.

Someone just had to bust out the Q2. What an impressive loco.
Ohhhhh that green Southern mountain loco has got me wantin
SiFi Metzer, it is a beauty!
मुझे भी ऐसी रेलगाड़ी में बैठने की इच्छा है भारत में कब आएगी।
मुझे विश्वास है कि कुछ हैं । बस उन्हें खोजें
3:37 that PRR shark nose is a runaway
What does it mean?
@@CARANDTRAIN what does what mean?
Amazing detail on those trains 👍
+Camshaft Shaft Indeed
Very good
In deed. Outstanding.
Really nice video!! Love the steam engine.
In my country (Indonesian) no one have this. I sad.
This is sad. You may want to go to Australia or Japan.
Love it. The engines are amazing.
Amazing is an under statement!
Great place. Great video. Some great work on those trains. Great job.
petro062 thank you.
I when i was 10-20 years old i really wanted to have some thing like this, still in all the live steam is very much grabbed me for its a love for me,
Katakoyzenos,MXII Christophoros,D , continue to enjoy my live steam videos.
I have hundreds of them.
carandtrain wish I had one but the way things are it's like I missed out something very important in my life and thanks for your reply
Katakoyzenos,MXII Christophoros,D you can start small in the hobby and go bigger if you really like it.

+Dampfmaschinchen Indeed.
very impressive, and beautiful.
Javed Ahmad Thank you. Have you seen my other videos at the same track?
OK, you've hooked me, I'm in love with that 4-8-2. Now, where are you? Svalboord? Vermont? Hebridies?
Thanks for the kind comment. I am in Ohio. You can look up my track by searching with keywords “Whiskey Creek”. The locomotive in the above video is not mine and is running at Mills Creek Central.
I have approx 150 live steam videos posted on my carandtrain channel and there is a playlist of live steam videos.
Man I would love to go on that train ride .. Cooooollll
Giovani22 Indeed. The owner has a website, you can learn more.
Almost off the tracks
Not really. At which time on the meter count?
If you look on RUclips there train do off track
At which time on the video?

Stihl man Makes sense.
carandtrain Just stumbled across this & thought I would set the record straight.....
Great videos hope to see you again!!!
Wow, when you think you seen every train video..THIS!
Fred Thompson Thanks.
Fred Thompson I have many more similar videos in my channel.
Wow brother, what train is made, teach me to make this train too
You need to be a tool maker!
Incredible. Are these propane fired?
dieselyeti Thanks for your interest. Definitely coal fired. I have many videos in which you see the engineer loading coal in the firebox.
Wow ...where did you get all the land ...loved it
gacj2010, this is a planned project!
great hobby,
rory, I cannot agree more. It is one of the hobbies with the lesser fall out rate.
fantastic set up very impressive
david melville Thanks. I have many other videos of this track. Millcreek Central.
That's how to play trains.
Barry Coe Agree with you. I have been in this hobby for 43 years.

hey bro your live steam engines are so awesome
Thank you. I have many more live steam video in my channel and also at lezebre.eu section hobbies for you to enjoy.
That Q2 has to be custom built. There is no way that came from a kit.
You are correct
I would love to get into the hobby, but I have a feeling that it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Am I wrong?
where exactly is this located?
In Central Ohio.
I think the green southern train it's famous
Rashad Yudhanegara Yes, the Southern "Crescent Limited" passenger service. One of my favorite locomotive paint schemes.
This is way cool!
+Donald H Thank you. I have many more live steam videos on my channel. Enjoy!!!
Omg, it's that happened in India.
What do you mean?
@@CARANDTRAIN this type of railway we can enjoy in India,because no one started this type of project yet.
Sitting on model train. Horrable. Sheet.
This is how it is done in the live steam hobby. You have the pleasure to drive your train instead of just watching it in smaller scales. It is as close as it goes to scale 1:1.
your lucky I always wanted one.
What gauge are these?
Ethpling 7.5" gauge.
carandtrain Thanks
good!!!
+Lucia Gm Thanks.
Is this 7.5inch??
Mark Noonan Yes.
I want to see some derail footage or collision footage.
Brother Nick Sorry, I do not have any. These are expensive and long time to build pieces of equipment and nobody would want them to derail.
Bummer!
Do you come here often
Mark, once a year.
do any accident occur here?
+Amir Mursyidin No why?
OMI, that Pennsy 4-6-6-4
Fantastic locomotive!!!
Definitely THE one!!! I wonder what it weighs, or cost to build?
Sorry to correct, the q2 is a 4-4-6-4
Superb, where is this ?
