Mission accomplished.

@@Jimboliah3985 thx

Uh, why are you asking that here?

@ Because I thought you might like to watch those…

Pardon the heart, meant to click reply. That strangling bit was supposed to be comedic exaggeration. But also, as I replied twice before, I think it's pretty much a rule that if you have a locomotive number that has a few numbers higher than a full thousand, it's pronounced something-thousand-something. Take the 3 oldest survivors of the UP Big Boys for example. -4004: four thousand four -4005: four thousand five -4006: four thousand six It's only when you hit 4010, that you can say fourty ten etc.

Just doing the best with what I can.

And? Why are you bringing that up here?

No, my voice is fine.

A video about the LMS's experimental high pressure locomotive, Fury. Duh.

Immediately pinned.

Takes one to know one.

I'm not going to apologize for having an opinion on the engine's looks. Be glad I at least acknowledged that 3001 was in better shape than 2933, giving it the edge for being less expensive and time consuming to give it a rebuild.

@@Jimboliah3985 I don’t really care about that, honestly. I just don’t agree with your opinion. I, in fact, think the opposite, personally. But, whatever. Like what you want, I guess.

Pinned.

I already had a hunch he was quite high in the FWRHS rankings, but I didn't know he was that high.

@@Jimboliah3985 yes been voted vice president for a number or years at the officer elections, you have to understand he grew up his dad was active in the orginazation back then and his grandpa was superintendent or someone very high ranking of the belt harbor railroad by gary indiana his grandpa was one of the guys calling the shots back then, kelly was kind of born into it, as was I to an effect growing up in a railroad town, the highschool is called the railroaders, and used to be a shop town till 1926 as when they needed a spot for doing classified repairs for the trains west in ohio of the small region that was the chicago division at the time our city had the most recent built shops and they expanded those for taking on repairs, and had a 32 bay roundhous the largest I have found that was actually built by the b and o at the time one they didn't have that was from a railroad they absorbed, the roundhouse here was even bigger by 1 bay then the one in cumberland, though that was only for 1918 to 1933 when the additional bays were cut back off but we acording to local lore the last bastion of steam on the b and o till that faitful day in 1958 when the last revinue run with steam was a railfan trip from chicago to here here to willard and back, and suposedly was the last roundhouse to have a steamengine in it or thats what locals have said, I cant back that up with hard copy proof of it though, and there was soo much more that could have and should have been saved, trains were just kind of all around us here, and I had grandpas and great uncles as well as great great grandpas on both sides that worked for the railroad, a few were engineers, moms dad was the engineer for one of the presidents campaign trains as it came though, and grandpa went to take the slack out of the train and the bump knocked coffee over on the president he apologiesed when he found out and got to shake the presidents hand in chicago, it would have been maybe Truman or Eisenhower maybe I rode a trip in 2015 out of fort wayne with the nkp 765 going part of the walbash cannonball route, and a guy that was renting out two of the railcars for the train trip showed me a bunch of old airial photos satillite pictures and the sanborn maps and the bug bit later that year saw on the website they would like people with woodworking skills and I grew up around crafts so I signed up and been a member since maybe 2016 as for our operations and trips, you just never can tell who you might see in the shop or on the trains, met stephen hook the guy thats the head mechanical shop guy for the 576 nashvill engine both 2 years ago in the shop and he was at the ww2 weekend this year and a few of the guys from down there in tennesee came up with him to help out, last weekend for the nickleplate historical and technicle society we had a guest engineer, that grew up in conneuett, oh maybe your heard of Doyle McCormick, My eyes about came out of my head and the carhost I was talking to after I got done said he did a double take when he saw him, and on our trips we have all kinds of local heads of buisness from the region as well as politcians, once at one of our trips out of chicago a few years ago I think it were the number 2 in amtrak rode on the trip and you would not even know it was in buisness casual of sorts. and in the shop the course of the matter you might see gary bensman, or zach hall, often steve winniker, and at the openhouses you might even see rich melvin who used to be lead engineer, and of course oldest origional active member wayne york can often be found and often doing car hosting, as I say its a small world where we share members with other organizations. kelly for example works for fmw they are a one stop shop for railroad consulting and repair, and are working the k4 as well as helped redesign the boiler for being welded instead of riveted for the T1 trust

1: *I* never liked that style of number plate. Lets just say that if I bought the engine instead of the FWRHS, that plate would be coming off immediately at the very least, and it's not coming back on. 2: Again, most likely because of an extra seat behind the fireman seat. But even then, I'd just have both sides have a big window. 3: As I relpied to somebody else, I think it's pretty much a rule that if you have a locomotive number that has a few numbers higher than a full thousand, it's pronounced something-thousand-something. Take the 3 oldest survivors of the UP Big Boys for example. -4004: four thousand four -4005: four thousand five -4006: four thousand six It's only when you hit 4010, that you can say fourty ten etc.

Agreed.

@@Jimboliah3985 Dude it doesn't even matter. You shouldn't even be upset about something so trivial.

@@Jimboliah3985 Oh, okay nevermind.

Didn't I say that in the video itself? As in, better mechanical shape?

Am I really when I acknowledge that 3001 was in (somewhat) better condition?

Yeah kind of similar, the shape of its boiler and smoke box, except for the lack of a cowcatcher. ☝

Almost.

You need to actually follow 1361’s restoration, because she now has a fully painted tender and the firebox and boiler work is wrapping up.

@ I was primarily referring to her restoration *before* FMW Solutions stepped in.

@@candycrushhater5828 Oh. Nevermind then. You’re good. 😊

@@chooch1764 I haven't followed very much because of the massive influx of work from a "nonmajor" biology class, but does this mean it's nearly ready for a hydrostatic test and then full steam? 😯

@@rayvaul3539 1361’s boiler needs to be placed back onto the frame and the rest of the reassembly will go from there.

Pardon the heart, but I don't remember exactly where I heard it. Either it was a rumor, or just a freelance idea of what might've happened.

Forgot to specify "first in the US" to use the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement. But you are correct about the old name Baltic being outshined, because I call *every 4-6-4 a Hudson*, regardless if it's a tank engine or tender engine, American or from somewhere else. ;)

@@Jimboliah3985 And I like to refer to any non north american 4-6-4 as a baltic because I believe it fits better over on the European continent lol. Sidenote, the Canadian railways calling them Hudson's still works technically because they also have an areas water named after Henry Hudson. The Hudson Bay and Hudson Straight.

So they're all wrong.

@@Jimboliah3985 or there muiltple way to say it.

@@Jimboliah3985 I don't think it matters Jim, 3001, 30-O1, there's no difference, you're upset about something so trivial. I used to be that way, somewhat lol.

@@Jimboliah3985 It’s just a way of pronunciation. Chill, man.

​@@rayvaul3539 The best part is that he dose use O in numbering.

Already aware of that...

Darkness does go a little nuts on AEP while he spares Beeching.

@johncmitchell4941 probably because everyone already going after beeching.

@@Jimboliah3985 You also have to bear in mind that #3001 would be better suited for mainline excursions since she is an L-3 Mohawk; tailored more for dual-service operations, and with a maximum running speed of 80 MPH.

What quote?

?

@RailfanIan1225 also 2933, is an L2. She has a design flaw that she can't travel at track speed.

More specifically, 2933 is an L-2d Mohawk compared to 3001 being the very next variant, the L-3a.

The T&P modified the tender to look like one of their 4-8-2

@@gamerfan8445 I assume it would be modified back to look like a New York Central one for the restoration?

@@yeoldeseawitch yup

Denied. I've heard that class of Mikados was a can of worms when it comes to technical info, so I'm not even gonna try.

Pardon the heart, didn't mean that. But I'm not betting on the 6435 still being around. You want 6435? Go watch a GWR Pannier Tank of the same number.
