In this installment from our "Buckeye Limited at a Glance" series...we pick up with two Little Engines ALCO Northerns as they prepare to tackle the grade of sand hill at the Mill Creek Central Railroad. Come along for the ride as these beautiful brutes steam along the line. Thanks for watching The Steam Channel.

Those Northerns were beautiful, especially the lead. It's ashame the Challenger couldn't make a run, but it, too, was very beautiful to see.

What beautiful engines. I would love to know a bit more of the phenomenons that occur in railroad fire-tube boilers. In this video I clearly saw pressure reliefs lift when the operators reduced throttle, but I'd love to know what else happens. Do you see water level change with steam demand, due to the increased boiling? What sorts of boiler water treatments (if any) do you use? What sorts of thermal limits are there, ie max temperatures, heat-up/cool-down rate limits, etc?

@bruceburns1672 5 жыл бұрын

I see in the Auto market now with the EV cars just around the corner we have the same situation when diesel and electric replaced steam , when you look at all the incredible engineering and maintenance and energy and water supplies needed to run these one can understand why they switched , and the day will come when we look at ICE cars and say , man they certainly put a lot of effort and engineering into those old auto's .

What are the speed limits on most live steam railways? (7&1/4"-7&1/2" gauge) Thinking of designing my own 0-4-0 diesel shunter and wanted an idea for hydraulic pump ratios. Also can anyone tell me what the axle load limit usually is? I was wanting to build it from 3/8" or 1/4" steel plate for really good traction.

@jordanmrivera 3 жыл бұрын

My club generally runs at 5-7 mph. Your axel load limit depends on the material/thickness you make it out of. For an 0-4-0 you shouldn't really run into the limit, but it also depends on what scale you make it.

You don’t...you buy the parts and drawings and build it. It would cost over $80,000-$100,000 to have a shop do all the labor plus the $15,000 for the kit and $9,500 for the boiler...and about $5,000 in fittings/valves.

The farmed out construction of even a modest 4-6-0 locomotive will cost at least $12,000-$15,000. With larger engines pushing or surpassing $60,000-$100,000+. 7-10 of these engines are built by the owner and they could take 5-10 years to complete. Assuming one has the machining skills for the work.

No, it’s not open to the general public. It’s also not a club. Some clubs have specific public run days, but they are the exception not the rule. Many that do are generally located on public land or in a public park.
