I am in a state-wide Lego club, PennLUG (Pennsylvania LEGO Users Group) which is the layout you see an my more recent videos. We go to several LEGO and train conventions and shows throughout the year. To join, you have to be an adult (18+) and either attend 3 meetings/shows a year (general membership) or pay $40 a year (subscriber membership) and you gain access to all the benefits of being in a Lego User Group. I'd love for you to come to one of our monthly meetings if you can, or meet us at Philly Brickfest this April. I'll be there
Glenn Holland - StreamlinedBricks well.. if I can get a shunting engine put together and a car to drive all the way, if you could tell me how many meetings there are this year, I'll see what I can do.
Sure. We host one meeting every month, usually the first Saturday. This coming March is a special event at the Richland library (Richland, PA). We will be there with some smaller displays on March 4th. I'm not sure where or when the April meeting will be, but a better opportunity to check us out would be Philly Brickfest, which is a weekend-long show (four days if you're a registered attendee). We will have our layout there.
You brought this back to life very characteristically and with lots of imagination and inspiration which I think still works for kids even today to learn from: I HOPE this was awarded a high grade by your school! :o)
(sigh) Lego stop motion. It was so simple, yet it brought in so many views back then and some still do. This was a big part of my childhood when I was on RUclips, I wish we could go back to these kind of days, days that were so much more simple.
The only thing that looks even remotely like something I know is the engineer. It's because the hat, scarf, torso (I think), and legs are the same as the one on the Emerald Night. Now that I've seen this, I might put seats in my EN engine!
I believe the engineer figure I had here predates me getting the Emerald Night. But a cab interior has become a standard in most of my more recent builds.
Charles Yee Thanks! I made this for a school project over two consecutive evenings. I didn’t have time nor desire to research the actual wreck at that time. I did get a grade of 100% though!
Well yes, that is true. However, when I made this video I hadn't researched the actual wreck, it was a school project. Whats more, I didn't have a real bridge to use in the video.
I would file that under the "it would be interesting but I'm not interested" category! It certainly has been a while since I made this - since moved on to other things.
Yes, I am aware. I’ve learned much more about the accident itself through more intense research. However, as an 8th grader with limited resources for a school project, numbering the engine as 1102 for the video would have confused viewers.
Yes and IIRC the year was 1897. The scene was Danville in NC (North Carolina) and 'Stevie' in the song is the engineer Steve Brodie who along with the fireman and three postal workers lost their lives when this happened. Brodie was believed to have been speeding excessively until there was an ejector failure which rendered the brakes useless somewhere near Danville: Where at the bottom of a long incline there was a trestle which ran from south to north west across the small town. At an estimated 60 MPH with the speed restriction standing at half that on this trestle 'that's all she wrote' :o)
More Trainz Productions I don’t remember exactly where but it was from another RUclips video. It could have been taken down but there is probably another copy of this song available somewhere.
@@GlennHolland Judging by the length of the connecting rod, I thought it had 8 drivers, and that, compared to its' length, would likely only leave enough room for 2 leading wheels.
man this brings me back to a happier time in my childhood.
Glad you love it so much.
Glenn Holland - StreamlinedBricks hey, random thought, but how and what train show group are you apart of and how can/attempt to join?

Kinda neat that when you search "the wreck of the old 97" into RUclips, this is literally the third one.
This is incredible
You brought this back to life very characteristically and with lots of imagination and inspiration which I think still works for kids even today to learn from: I HOPE this was awarded a high grade by your school! :o)
Thanks for the compliment! I'm pretty sure I got a 100%... that was 9 years ago!
train wreck
I gotta say, Engine #97 looks like a very good model. Wish there was an official version like this.
Great fun. Well done! Your videos are getting better all the time. Love it!
One of the best videos on youtube. I loved it.
(sigh) Lego stop motion. It was so simple, yet it brought in so many views back then and some still do. This was a big part of my childhood when I was on RUclips, I wish we could go back to these kind of days, days that were so much more simple.
The nostalgia
Even today the engine shines
It's one of my favorites. It's a real classic to me.
I can believe it!
Great LEGGO rendition of the Wreck of '97!
the Engines nubmer was actually 1102, and the mail train part was ol 97
Back when youtube was about having fun, not selling raid shadow legends

The crash was not correct, but my gawd this was a good animation! Really good. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Glenn Holland - StreamlinedBricks awesome 👏🏻👍🏻
this is AWESOME!
Well yes, that is true. However, when I made this video I hadn't researched the actual wreck, it was a school project. Whats more, I didn't have a real bridge to use in the video.
If you ever wanted to remake this I would suggest you try to build an 1102 model
Good thing I don’t want to remake it, lol
Great you are the best! :) I gave a 100/100
James the red engine2018 thanks!
nice work :)
Very well done.
nicely done!
It would be interesting to see if you can remake this (if your already good skills have improved)
I would file that under the "it would be interesting but I'm not interested" category! It certainly has been a while since I made this - since moved on to other things.
This was a nice video but when 97 crashed, it fell off a bridge. It didn't just tip over.
Nice dude
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Very nice looking steamer. are those Big Ben Bricks wheels?
awsome
The engine isn't #97 its #1102 its just the name of the song.
Great opening tho!

Okay!
did it acutally happen in real life
Whizzer1 yes
Whizzer1 yes except it went off a truss (bridge) and plunged into a ravine.
Charles Yee he lost his air-brakes

@@angeltransportpjects*1903*
that Pwnts
cool. whered you get all the emerald wheels?
TheOculusTrilobite dafuq?
I love Casey Jones
Actually, the wreck in this song is a separate wreck. Jones' famous wreck was three years earlier in Vaughn, MS.
Jesus Ramirez me to
Jesus Ramirez Casey Jones was not the engineer to 97. Casey Jones died in engine 382 when plowing into a caboose of a stalled freight train.
Glenn Holland - StreamlinedBricks THANK YOU
How did you build the locomotive?
What specifically do you want to know? If you're looking for instructions, I don't do those.
OLD 97
how do you make lego thomas
Oh.
Actually LEGO wheels
Where did you get the audio?
It’s a Johnny Cash song.
@@GlennHolland Well yeah I knew that, I'm just looking for the audio somewhere but cant find this specific one.
More Trainz Productions I don’t remember exactly where but it was from another RUclips video. It could have been taken down but there is probably another copy of this song available somewhere.
@@GlennHolland Ok, thanks for the info
@BLUESHYGUY8000 im not giving out instructions
Though I will admit that I'm not a fan of you using a consolidation instead of a ten-wheeler.
The engine you see in this video is indeed a ten wheeler!
@@GlennHolland Oh, really?
@@sambrown6426 Yep, though it can be a little hard to tell.
@@GlennHolland Judging by the length of the connecting rod, I thought it had 8 drivers, and that, compared to its' length, would likely only leave enough room for 2 leading wheels.
@@sambrown6426 I follow your thinking, but instead of another driver in that space, it’s a second pilot axle.
