+Big Jim Video Productions it has a air compressor problem and its lubricators ether don't work or spit it out on top of the valve gear not on it. And the auto bell is broken so it is rung by hand till they get parts.
It's awesome that Steamtown finally has an operating steam locomotive! I just hope that they'll be able to keep her running at least until her next FRA inspection because considering how long it took to get her running and how long it's talking to get 3713 running, 2317 and 3254 will probably be out for a very long time, leaving 26 as their only running steamer.
+Big Jim Video Productions Same here. That's why I hope she doesn't suffer any problems that could take her out of commission for a long period of time.
+trainkids luckily the 26, 3713, and 2317 will be the operating fleet 3254 is found to be in worst shape than 3377, making it so its sister 3377 or 2929, or ether 790 the final candidate.
It's wonderful to see that steam is finally back at Steamtown! Engine 26 looks great, and she will look even better when they install the cover over her steam dome.
0-6-0 Baldwin Locomotive Works Class 6/34-E-1 SerNo 60733, built March 1929, was set up with old-school slide valves at a time when the Class 1 roads ordered all their new-builds with piston valves and superheaters; she was tasked with shifting hardware at the sprawling Eddystone works. The Walschaerts drive proved straightforward to maintain. (As I understand things, Lima Locomotive Works, Inc., was only using the compact Stephenson drive at that time for Class B, C, and D Shays, with Walschaerts drive on everything from six-coupled switchers to their latest 2-8-4, 2-10-4 and 4-8-4 SuperPowers; the Shays were superheated from 1918 and packed piston valves.)
I think I know why men loved steam locomotion. It was because they would feed it coal while being able to understand how it worked in every detail as well as how to fix 'em when they broke down.
Oh ok also it’s still quite a shocked that nearly 3 years after this was recorded that Baldwin 26 is still the only operating steam locomotive but thankfully 3713 will be joining her in 2021 once the rebuild is complete also how long has 3713’s restoration been going on for? Also thank you responding to my comment I really enjoy your videos and keep up the great work to come
That's the air pump you hear. If you watch the 2016 video on my channel, from her opening day trips, you'll still hear the stack talk, but without the loud exhaust. The shop crews fixed the old air pump and put it back on the locomotive, so it sounds more normal then.
I remember seeing this locomotive in pices a few years back, i had high hopes that i would see the day that 26 would rin again and steamtown retain its name.
Even though CNJ pretty much played second fiddle to the Lackawanna. I don't see that DL&W steamer being restored any time soon. Same goes for that blasted camelback.
@@Bigjimvideo i wish it was still in Canada displayed. i some times think "why send your nice piece of history to the USA and not have it in its own country?" but idk its sad ngl
Yeah it's definitely loud! Especially its' normal whistle, that's piercing! But it's also a hoss physically too - just wait until the October trip to Carbondale, I'm hearing it will pull 5 or so cars on that branch trip...
It's now been 4 years since steam returned to steamtown and Baldwin 26's return Soon in the next 2 years Boston and Maine 3713 will be running as well and then 2317 and hopefully possibly i hope 3254 steaming again as well 🤞 I care for 3254 the most 2317 as well but 3254 more Even though she's proclaimed to be a rough rider and has a bent frame I still have faith she'll run again and I hope steamtown will indeed restore her again to service one day in the future 🤞
+TheBlueComet833 it's not that easy when there is only 15 back shop workers plus 7 battered in need of repair items plus being a not well known park that is not taken seriously even tho steamtown needs more maintenance than yellow stone or Grand Canyon which get more stuff than other parks. Plus 514 is the only diesel that is owned by the NPS and is the only operating original collection engine even tho they lost 1218 for it. They really need people since most of them back there are over 50 and the only two new people need training. It is hard enough to get one running. But with a plan for 4 engines to be running at any moment is far from easy to do.
Absolutely beautiful. You just knew Big Jim would have this for us. I was up in the shop a week ago watching them do the final bits of work. Good stuff. How did they say she ran?
+Randy Chadwick Thanks! It sounded and looked just fine to me, but I'm no steam expert. I'd imagine there may be a few things to fine tune here and there, but that's par for the course with any steam restoration at first.
It's only real issues are the air compressor and a lubrication device on the one side. Besides that they did not test the heating equipment it now has.
Pretty much, yes! Taking a slow trip around the yard, seeing if there's anything they haven't found while sitting still, getting a few kinks out and worked in...
I presume you a;so have to make sure grease gets into the surfsces of the bronze!! In my day Ive turned a number of side rod bushings but I dont think there was much "breaking in" required.- get this - the one that I personally measured (usually the shop foreman did that and gave me the sizes - I never saw the conditions of the pins and rods The pin was 3/4" narrower front to back than top to bottom and the siderod measured almost a full inch wider front to back than top to bottom because they had been beating for a :LOOOONG time. The last 3 old ladies on the western div of the B&O. It was a shame..There wasnt much "breaking in" necessary - just lots of grease.
@@Bigjimvideo hey thanks for the reply. I just think you’d get a really sore arm after having to keep ringing it for that amount of time! It’s still cool though. Our British locos never had bells.
It's not an inspection pit - there's a walkway up at that level that goes through most of the roundhouse where the public can stand and watch locomotives being serviced and on display. :)
How is this engine able to 'chuff' while standing still? I thought each chuff was exhaust from front and back movement of the piston - if the pistons aren't moving, how is it still chuffing?
Excess steam pressure is released from safety valves mounted on the dome, nowhere near the stack. When those valves open the fireman needs to decrease steam production, normally by reducing the draft on the boiler so the fire isn't quite as hot. You can clearly see this engine's safety valves- the bronze pieces behind the rope for the bell. In fact at 4:11, the safety valve lifts. Normally you lift them on purpose at least once a day to make sure they work. After that, lifting the safety means the fireman is unskilled or the engine was working hard and got interrupted. Meanwhile the engine exhaust is sent up the stack to induce draft for the boiler, making the fire more intense and helping the fuel burn cleanly. I'm guessing that because #26 was a switchyard engine, the exhaust of her brake air pump was also used with an exhaust nozzle for inducing draft since the short low speed movements of yard work wouldn't help her fire very much.
+RichardAndewSwayne I believe it was BLW-designed since it wasn't sold to any railroad, but used at their own plant in Eddystone, PA for switching for the first part of her life - but don't quote me on that.
Big Jim, amazing footage! Maybe you (or whoever is reading this comment) can help me out with something. At 8:45, all the way in the back, i spy a UP tender. Is that a Big Boy tender?
The "chuffing" sound she makes while standing still, is the air-compressor working. There is a reservoir tank for compressed-air. to operate the air-brakes on the locomotive, and any cars they might tie-in. The air-compressor runs on boiler steam, and operates automatically, to maintain necessary air-pressure.
In these slow run-bys, most of the loud "chuffing" is from the air-compressor, not exhaust from the locomotive's cylinders. The compressor is located on the left side of the locomotive, above the middle driving wheel. It appears as two large "cans", one placed above the foot-board, and one below. 9:49 - 10:13. :)
@@TheAB-xv3ec well we're was it built. It looks like a cn or gt locomotive so they can get in contact of the designers or builders of 47 family and probably may have some paperwork for it.
This is only because it's moving around in an active rail yard - and visitors to the park pretty much have free rein of the yard, so they do it for safety reasons, so people know the locomotive is coming (an added thing on top of the noise the locomotive makes itself).
These bells and the non stop use of it all the time anywhere, make me watch modern day train videos muted. I love the American railroad, but I am glad not to live near them.
Robert Rudolph If it's irritating that means it has your attention and that's why it's there. In the old days it was not uncommon for people to step out in front of moving locomotives in crowded, noisy railyards. The clanging bell kept people's attention on which engine was moving. One year in the 19th century 5000 American brakemen died on the job.
That's one loud air pump! That's a sound that we don't hear very often in the UK.
Yeah, they were working on it for a while, it's definitely a lot better now.
No matter diesel or steam, locomotive's are awesome!
Yes they are!

I have the Bachmann set
The air pump sounds like somebody getting a *spanking*
Does she run during march
Sadly, no. Unless there's some super-special event, she won't come out until some point in April or May.
Big Jim Video Productions ok I was just wondering
０−6−0テンダーロコモーティブ使いやすそうなロコです。ジャパンにも似たロコがありました。
You can see her sister engine switcher from the same plant in Amboy Illinois

good video,but it makes me a bit sad to see rusty trains on other junctions.
Thanks - and I agree, but there's only so much Steamtown can do with the money they get from the government.
@Big Jim Video Productions, yeah I guess it was wishful thinking haha
Why is its puff so loud
typical american power
Complete chances of this happening is totally 100%
What kind of whistle is that?
+Robert Kersey It sounds really close to a N&W hooter type.
+3985gtasa it is ether the 6039 in the round house or a Baldwin standard issue switcher whistle.
+Matt`s Mocs Thanks for the info.
@@mattsmocs3281 it does look like a switcher locomotive
Why dose it make that sound when in park
The "chuffing" sound she makes while standing still, is the air-compressor working. There is a reservoir tank for compressed-air. to operate the air-brakes on the locomotive, and any cars they might tie-in. The air-compressor runs on boiler steam, and operates automatically, to maintain necessary air-pressure.
In these slow run-bys, most of the loud "chuffing" is from the air-compressor, not exhaust from the locomotive's cylinders. The compressor is located on the left side of the locomotive, above the middle driving wheel. It appears as two large "cans", one placed above the foot-board, and one below. 9:49 - 10:13. :)
thanks
Thanks for that explanation... I was like, WHY is it chuffing when the drivers weren't even moving? LOL
Interestingly gaudy. Nice to see it moving around amongst the Steamtown wrecks.
PA Steam!
Indeed!!
Why does the train driver operate the bell at all times?
is very annoying to hear the bell ring constantly.
Because they're operating in a busy and very publicly accessible yard complex, so they have to keep the bell ringing for safety reasons.
early steam traction railroad in america are completly unfenced, thats why bells came
Bachmann trains made this model
they need to get 47 working again before she rusts away
Glaudge that will never happen, she has no papers, therefore she can’t run, the 4-6-4t would have been a great fit for the Steamtown yard shuffles
@@TheAB-xv3ec well we're was it built. It looks like a cn or gt locomotive so they can get in contact of the designers or builders of 47 family and probably may have some paperwork for it.
26 would look great in front of a sting of pullman green heavyweights
Sounds like she needs a bit of adjusting.
+Geared Productions She does, they have a few months to get that done. :)
why do american steam trains have annoying bell ringing all the time isent the whistle enough
This is only because it's moving around in an active rail yard - and visitors to the park pretty much have free rein of the yard, so they do it for safety reasons, so people know the locomotive is coming (an added thing on top of the noise the locomotive makes itself).
I am offended by how few subscribers you have
TheBrantfordRailfan Thanks? Lol. Of course I wish I had more, but I'm happy that people like my videos to start with :)
Bachmann ho scale anyone?
i think i was standing next to you.
+nascarfan8833 Were you?
+Big Jim Video Productions when she was backing across the walkway
+nascarfan8833 Ahh yes I think I remember you...you were the only other person standing there, if memory serves me right, yes?
+Big Jim Video Productions believe so
Rip engineers in the roundhouse, died from to much CO2 XD
060swr
we're is2718
+Peter Lombardi 2718?
Yes the Pacific type engine they had or am I saying the numbers wrong
2317?
Yea
+Peter Lombardi Out of service - will need major repairs before potentially returning to service.
These bells and the non stop use of it all the time anywhere, make me watch modern day train videos muted. I love the American railroad, but I am glad not to live near them.
early steam railroad are completely unfenced which is why bells even came in the first place
Please take that diesel out the intro
Why do All American Trains have those irritating Bells ringing all the time... is that to let people know its a Train and not a Horse cart???
Robert Rudolph
If it's irritating that means it has your attention and that's why it's there. In the old days it was not uncommon for people to step out in front of moving locomotives in crowded, noisy railyards. The clanging bell kept people's attention on which engine was moving.
One year in the 19th century 5000 American brakemen died on the job.
