This was quite an experience! The story behind Dan’s locomotive is incredible! The result is a beautifully restored steam locomotive, which can be seen and experienced for generations to come! I would like to see the other artifacts preserved.. Not just left out in the open to be reclaimed by the elements. Seeing Dan’s love and devotion to this little train is amazing! Can’t wait to see his scratch built passenger car in service! Again... What a labor of love!!

Most railfans would be LUCKY to own even a dinky 15 inch gauge battery powered mine locomotive, But Dan owns a fully restored and operating 1870's 4-4-0 american!

Thank- you very up lifting , ,68 yrs old, waiting for 10 disc surgery & your videos help keep me going , really helps.

I wish there were more American classic 4-4-0 locomotives that had been saved and could still be run around for all to enjoy instead of sitting quietly in a museum. These engines are certainly works of engineering art and pieces of history, but you can't really appreciate them until the are moving down the track, belching smoke and steam.

This would be awesome to own a piece of history like this and play with it. I’m sure Dan is very proud of what he has accomplished with the restoration, looks absolutely amazing. I’ve always loved the American type locomotives and to see one in narrow gauge is even more awesome.

Thanks for another great steam video. Thanks to you and you tube I get to see more train "screwing around" then I ever thought possible.

What a treasure to have a locomotive like that! The detail on the passenger car is even more impressive. You guys have won me over for preserving history like that. I'm glad that this kind of history isn't dead.

Love the video. Haven't talked with Dan for years. This video is motivation to go see him. Thank you so much for sharing.

OMG! That's amazing you're friends with Dan! I love the Eureka & Palisades #4, especially when I see it at Durango. I love narrow gauge, especially since growing up volunteering at a little narrow gauge loop called Midwest Central in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Always thought the E&P #4 would be cute going around that little track. Glad to see it on the road and rail!

So this is where it is today thank you for filming it.

Wow! I and my two grandchildren and their parents rode the Eureka just this afternoon. Then I discover your great video this evening. We were told of how Dan restored the engine and how he moves it, but to now see how it is actually accomplished is really fun! What a wonderful legacy. I am an HO enthusiast and would love a model of this engine to run on my layout. The passenger car is so beautiful, too. What a craftsman Dan is! Thanks for doing this piece, and have fun at Disney Land. Looking forward to your next transmission!

That's a beautiful still pic at 10.00. Great screwing around as always guys. I'm looking forward to your next one.

The engine just had an overhaul to comply with FRA, and it's good to see her back in action. :) I can't wait for the Combine, Elsa to be completed. :)

You guys are the best. After watching the LIVE video I was really left wondering how they actually loaded and unloaded the Engine. It was really cool to see the process. Always enjoy your videos. Keep'em coming!

Didn’t even know this existed and I’m right outside of Chicago! Much love!

Very nice Russ...enjoyed watching

i just love you both thanks so much for the fun and really cool trains that most of us will never see for real love it

First saw the eureka in this video - have since seen it in many others, including its runs on Durango and silverton. Awesome that you know Dan! I have realized over the years I have been subscribed, you have shown quite the skill in modeling (Karyn might be be getting better than you, though - her scratch built stuff is gnarly!) and connections in railroading. How do you know EVERYONE? I guess all those years shooting and editing the VHS stuff - which I am still wanting to buy your old videos AHEM - has paid off. Sheesh. One of the least regretted subscriptions ever. 👏🏻

I remember reading about this years ago in Locomotive and Railway Preservation magazine but I have never got to see it in person. Dan Markoff and Ward Kimball are my heroes!

Just saw this beauty on television on UEN, filmed in Colorado and New Mexico on the D&S tracks and Chama's line. Great video documentary!

beautiful locomotive and combine, would love to see them sometime!! Thanks for sharing

I remember when the history channel had the show “trains unlimited” and this locomotive was always in a lot of the episodes. From Dan to myself tell him Andrew the Missourian says keep up the great work and keep on railroading!!!!!!!!!!!

This is super awesome! Dan Markoff's cool Eureka locomotive #4 going to Boulder. Thanks very much for this.

Hello Dale, how do you do? My Name is Jordan Shingler from Wem Shropshire in the United Kingdom. I have a been watching your train videos for quite some time now and I really enjoy them. I'm a huge fan of steam locomotives including the ones in your country, I love seeing different foreign steam locos from around the world. I really adore the Eureka & Palisade No.4 & other classic American 4-4-0 Steam Locomotives, I have heard so much about the Eureka, I was afraid that she was retired from service a few years ago, but I'm relieved she still runs now. I think the Eureka is wonderful, Dan Markoff has done an fantastic job restoring her many years ago. I wish I could come all the way to America to see these wonderful locomotives, but a plane ticket and a hotel all costs a fortune. I have a Facebook page of my Model Railway called Trainsville, I own a few HO Scale American Steam Locomotives myself, but I own a big collection of my Hornby & Bachmann Branchlines British Steam Locomotives and not forgetting some Thomas the Tank Engine Models. Why not have a look at it, here's the link to it. facebook.com/trainsvillerailway/ I love your video of Eureka and Palisade No.4. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 10/10 Yours sincerely Jordan Shingler 😉

Hey Dale, thanks for the update, and for a longer video on this special locomotive 🚂. You and Karyn sure do have fun, and why not after working hard 😓 for many years. I love 💕 the quality and editing of your post, and look forward to what you have planned for 2018. Have fun at Disney Land.

it is amazing to watch and ride. if it goes to colorado i might go see it run.

+ToyMan *Congratulate Dan Markoff for us.* Building a custom 3'-0" combine to complement an engine such as 4-4-0 Baldwin Class 8/18-C SerNo 3763 was a common feat for railroads in the 1880's; the Virginia & Truckee River built a limited number of passenger cars the same way at Carson City, NV, in 1880 for the then-newly-christened Carson & Colorado.

Hey, I saw it on the Map of the NS and NSRRM, but I did not ride it, I rode the toy train ride, and the UP EMD GP30 844 diesel, I had my birthday there and well not my friends, because I live in California in a city called San Jose. So it was me and my family. It was fun thank you for telling us that narrow gauge engine. I would like to see this engine in operational service.

She's absolutely beautiful. What I wouldn't give to put my hand on the throttle and blow the whistle.... I bet she runs like an absolute dream. Hopefully someday we get a Narrow Gauge line built out here in Iowa(Unless there already is one. I don't know for sure.) And maybe Eureka can come to the Midwest where the corn grows high. Great episode!

Toy would be a great way to put it. Although Y'all took great care to move The A&P engine and tender the crew made it look "almost" like child's play. What a treasure to have such a piece. I can only get as close as a Bachmann copy in large scale. You Guys are a hoot! (Mis Karyn included.) Carry on with your pursuit of "Screwing Around".

Wow you have the greatest adventures and see some of the coolest stuff thank you for sharing I do believe this engine is my three year olds son favorite now

OUTSTANDING: 🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🐢

Another great piece of preserved americana. He did a fanastic job on it.

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸

The Walt Disney World resort has a model of this engine on display in the Carolwood Pacific room at the Wilderness lodge, actually. I wonder if Dan knows about his work being honored in Florida

That's so cool, must of been awesome to see them move it. The museum in Carson City is a must visit if you have not been. Thanks for sharing your screwing around.

What a super cool locomotive! No. 4 is tops!!! Thanks for sharing this. ,

Fantastic!!

I'm especially in love with UP action too.

What a big big big chimney !!!!!!

This is a COOL video, just like the two of you are. So cool!!!

Great Video! Thumbs Up!

I have the 844 in HO by Bachman Spectrum but it don't look like the current 844 so my guess its a early version I think Dan should build a caboose too What'd be uber cool if Dan would take this to the towns on the tender!

That was a great video. I have been aware of the Eureka for some time, but this really told the story. I remember when the Eureka visited the Roaring Camp & Big Trees railroad. That's my favorite tourist railroad in Felton, CA. As I write this It's July 2020 and I suspect The RC & BT has suspended operations due to Covid -19. Check the website.

Man I would love to see Dana locomotive. I have met dan before but never seen the eureka. I run the glenbrook at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Chris DeWitt is also my boss so yeah.

This was so cool

Enjoyed the tour!

You guys sure do get around!!

6:13 This has to be the greatest name for a railroad I've ever seen!

Cool stuff. And well done for the steam engine's controls 101.

SWEETA!!! now this is history that is cool,, great stuff Toy Man living the dream ,,, lol keep up the great vid's thanks for sharing,,, P.S. make sure you tell Dan thank you too... and Merry Christmas,, Tom B.

Well done, thank you

Great vid as all ways, you left at a great time today the weather has cleared a bit but California weather will be a great Christmas, see u wensday/Sunday Thanks toy man

Thankz

What a toy! Thanks for sharing, enjoyed it

neat! I was using the computers in the kids section of the durango public library when I was watching this and then I looked over at the wall and they had some durango and silverton pictures and this was in one of them!

Love that locmotive

This is unbelievable... I'm shoked, really, it blew my mind out and just don't know what to say...

cool must be nice to an old locomotive in your back yard thats something you dont see ever lol oh yeah New Subscriber.

Let us know in advance when it’s going to Colorado, we want to be there!

I love it

Awesome I wish I had a steam locomotive

Now we need it to run at the Nevada state railroad museum in Carson

Awesome! I wonder how Dan gets around the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers but then he does own the locomotive. Man! I hope those guys are careful soldering around that wood on the passenger car. Remember solder metal to metal, wood doesn't take too kindly to hot liquid metal of any sort. Lastly to the dill weed who keeps giving thumbs down to this channel why? what about it do you not like? as of this writing you are in the group of 21 including myself 22 so I'm just curious because I see nothing wrong with this video unless it was dealing with subject matter that is to say a steam locomotive. If this is because you don't think of this as a toy well think of it this way some people have bigger toys. Again another fine production. I said what I said because I can see no issues with your video and look forward to see the next installment. Hey if you're going to be in southern California I hope you'll take in the Tournament of Roses Parade it is the best parade ever all the floats are made with plant material to include obviously roses, but various flowers, seeds, grasses and trees.

great video thank you

And he'll have fun, fun, fun, etc... :-)

Love it, thanks, any word on the Big Boy 4014?

MARK FIRED HER UP??? SHE IS ALIVE AGAIN!!!!

It's hard to believe that there is another engine numberd 844 at this Museum gp30 #844 when that engine went into the service Union Pacific's actual 844 Steam Locomotive was renumbered 8444 until 1989. Gp30 844 is now retired but still runs at that museum and here's something that surprising one of Union Pacific's newer sd70ace locomotives is numbered 8444

also be awesome if the other steam locos in Bolder,NV. could run again !! :....(

WAY TOO COOL!!!!!!

5:33 Hey look! It's the UP 844! Sorry, wrong 844... :P

11:38, was curious on what that steam engine was. Found it odd as only two steams were listed at the museum but this wasn't. Thanks for clearing it up. And also, did you guys go to the Los Angeles Summer Trainfest in July 2017?

I hope one day it goes back to the Durango and silverton

Wow also I saw the Nevada state railroad museum and didn’t get two steam engines on camera cause it was the last second, I just only got the UP caboose. (Still good)

Eureka and Palisade 4 is currently at the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad

May the Eureka and Palisade engine 4 someday return to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

I saw a brief flash to the *7, 4 being the feature of the video/ My question is, has anyone started or is planning to start work on restoring the #7.

This same locomotive was used in John Wayne's last movie "The Shootist"

should Eureka and Palisades #4 to a rebuilt Eureka and Palisades railroad ?????

Toy man television you guys should cheak out the Jackson St roundhouse in Minneapolis Minnesota along with the twin cities model railroad museum and the Northshore scenic railroad in Duluth Minnesota

could that ng steam loco run in Carson city,NV they ng track !?

With *all that time & effort* it takes to lay down the temporary tracks to unload that locomotive, I am surprised they do not build something 'more permanent' to do the job...?

The wife reminds me of Buster Brown for some reason..............

Did you get pictures of the engine right after the fire and collapse

are their any plans on rebuilding the 2-8-0 at 11:39?

Did they ever finish the combine car. I haven’t seen finished pictures of it

You should talk to Dan about running the Eureka on the Huckleberry railroad

There all pro's at it till someone gets hurt

Will you do a show on eureka and palisade 7 when it gets fixed up?

that loco on the hyway has gotta be the fastest any 3ft gauge loco has ever gone dont you think ?

I assume he has planned out where the locomotive will go if or when he...?

note the glenbrook and eureka were both built in 1875

1: you guys are awesome!😃 2: were can I find this locomotive?

Eureka and palisade 7

The oldest operating steam locomotive in America is actually the Baltimore & Ohio's William Mason. I believe it is engine number 25. It is also the second oldest operating steam locomotive in the world. Only one locomotive, the Indian Railways Fairy Queen, is older, and it's only older by about a month. Just some interesting info I wanted to share with you guys.

Wow! What a toy!

6:29 look at that diesels number

Would please elaborate on the 2-8-0 E&P #7. Who owns it. What are the plans for it. Tahnks Tpuman * wife.

Le this narrow gauge steam locomotive?
