I love the tone of the whistle when it approaches the bridge. Very unique sound! ❤️

I rode behind a steam engine on the Cripple Creek & Victor RR, a 2 foot gauge railroad, years ago. I was in the coach, right behind the locomotive. It was a saddle tank engine, and the "tender" was part of the engine. The driver had a PA system, telling the passengers what sights were nearby, and how the loco operated. I watched him shovel coal into the firebox, and spread it out over the grate. Coal is mined in Colorado, so they had a steady supply. Another narrow gauge line I would like to see is at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture, located in Tifton, GA.

That's neat 👌👍

That 0-4-0 very much reminds me of similar locomotives with an 0-6-0 wheel arrangement in my home country

I helped unload that pile of ties about 7 yrs. ago, surprised their still sitting there!

Great video love that South African railway 3 chime whistle On the German tank engine

Awesome little railroad

Glad to see you guys kicking around!!!

That is a sweet place. I had no idea that was there. I bet you would like to take the 58 over there and see how easily it would pull that little train up the hill! 😁. Though if looks like their rail may be too light to support the 58.

I'm going there tomorrow for my field trip!

That GoPro took a beating!

A great place to visit! Got over there several years ago on Saturday instead of the Sunday open house and got a tour of the place with Tom in the Brookville. Outstanding Video!

Awesome video. I'm from western PA, and never knew this existed. So cool. Tell all the guys at the Youngstown Steel Heritage to keep up the amazing work.

What a pretty loco; dark, eligant, spooky. Well crafted video, I appreciate the work that goes into it.

THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic.

Wow that's awesome, I gotta go to that one day.

very nice video, Rick. Dou you know why they are trying to use the valve gear for braking? The slide valve design of these Henschel locos are not designed for that. When the regulator is closed, the reverser should be put fully forward in the direction of running to get maximum opening of the steam ports for a good air exchange between the two cylinder areas. The slide valve are only pressed on the ports when steam charged. Without steam it is able to lift a bit by the air flow though the parts, making a charakteristic clacking sound. If you put it into almost neutral position or even backwards, you create a partial vacuum, sucking soot from the smokebox into the cylinders. It forms a nice lapping paste when mixing with cylinder oil. For braking the instruction manual says only using the hand brake. By the way this Type is a 70 HP called "Riesa" after a city in the German federal state of Saxony.

Industrial 2ft locos are so fun to look at/ride because they're almost inherently not the conventional "train" outline, especially the German contractors locos. Ever thought about inviting the Henschel (I think 'Otto' is what they called it, if I remember correctly) over to the museum at Youngstown sometime? Love that valve gear shot by the way!

Very nice. I want one of those in my backyard :-) But i think you need a faster SD card in your camera, i see some frame rate stuttering.

Awsome video! Loved all the different shots!

Great video, really enjoyed it.

That is really a nice layout

I have an antique Manson narrow gauge railroad spike

Now who wouldnt want their own RR in their backyard.

There's something about 2 - 2 1/2 ft. Gauges that gives them a special charm - - -

How does one find out about annual Railroaders' Day ? Great video !

I like this

1:55 It's the foamer-mobile.

That's gotta hurt when the train hit the camera

When trains end up

That's just awesome! :) Does anyone know what weight rail they are using? Seems perfect for a 'backyard' type railroad, especially if your locomotive isn't too heavy.

Wonder if 58 could run on those skinny little rails... hehehe.

Nice video! Though I'm a little concerned that nobody was wearing a mask.
