This was the Photo Essay I did on Steam Engine 1702 back in 1990 when I worked for WFMY News 2. It operated on the Great Smoky Mountains Railway. It won several accolades, one being my first Emmy. In honor of the engine being restore and soon to be back in service I wanted to share this video.

I had this DVD when I was a little kid. It was one of the railroad movies that inspired me to start filming trains on my own.

Good old 1702 is getting restored. I went to the GSMR in 2004 when I was just 4 years old. I got to see 1702 in service and got to ride on the train.

Something I realized after all this time playing TSW is that UK Steam Locomotives are extremely simple to control in comparison to North American steam. The Scottsman[RiP Allen Peglar] has a reverser that you turn right or left. It has one throttle/regulator that you don’t have to pump over and over again(You just pull to open, push to close). Even the brakes are simple. One locomotive brake, and no stupid extra steam brake separate from the main air brakes(just a combination brake system). LNER had the right idea when ordering the A class locomotives. They valued Simplicity more than any other railway. It’s funny how EMD makes the Class 66, which was an extremely simple design with only a handful of steps needed to get it moving, but the SD40-2 requires you to jump through hurdles just to get it started. A century and a half of making our own locomotives, and we are still making them as difficult to operate as a Helicopter.

Fantastic Video and this IS the Whistle she wore that I love! That is a Great Whistle! Don't what type or who made it but it's spectacular! Far better than the whistle she carried since her return the Southern PS4. They only sound good on large locos like the Royal Hudson, 2716, and 611. Yes I'm aware 2716 mostly wore a IC Whistle and 611 a Handcock but a few trips they slapped a PS4 on them.
