I am a model railroader, I am a volunteer train crew member on theCuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. Now I can hardly wait to ride the Mill Creek Central. Awesome!!!!

[@CSXGirl822]

Glad you liked it! I've been up to CVSR several times myself, thank you and everyone else up there for keeping those beautiful vintage diesels running! Hopefully I'll get back up there once everything returns to normal here in Ohio.

My grandfather took me to LALS when the club first started in the 1950's. To me, the hobby is about keeping steam alive and I have done my part by building a Fitchburg Northern 2-6-0.

I met you down at Mill Creek Central Railroad this year and we talked about Rocky railroad animation. and I remember talking to you down there about the trains and about his animations he did

[@CSXGirl822]

That was indeed me, hello again. :)

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

Great! I really like these locos. That reminds me, my uncle built a 3 1/4" Heisler that I got to run on compressed air at a steam show last year. If I were to build a tiny steam loco, it would probably be a Sentinel vertical boilered locomotive of some kind.

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

Where I work/volunteer, we have a 16" gauge petrol-fired G-16. I say "fired" but it's a diesel/gasoline engine, technically. Specifically, it's gas-mechanical, but still, it's quite fun.

Keep steam alive!!!

[@ElectronicsTech09]

When it comes to trains there's no age limit.

[@olorin1710]

Really? All of the videos , shops and events I been too have been mainly older anglo European looking men. Could use more younger and female enthusiasts.

[@BlueSkyCountry]

Fun fact: The largest steam engines in operation today are US nuclear aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. They are steam-electric but still steam driven nonetheless. And of course, electric cars that are charged from lines serviced by coal or nuclear fired power plants are essentially steam powered at one stage of their energy conversion. Steam is the most efficient form of energy generation to this day and it is not going anywhere soon.

[@ElectronicsTech09]

Great Job Nicely Done.

[@b111372]

i'm sorry but this shit has me hooked..that trip just took away like 4 years of stress..

A great track

Man, I miss this track.

[@modeltrainproductions3167]

I'd love to go there

[@The8BitNerd]

16:13 Well at least when the trains derail you can just pick them up :)

[@CSXGirl822]

True for the most part, although I've seen it takes multiple people to get one of the locomotives back on when they derail more than just a few wheels. There's a horror story from this particular little railroad about a locomotive rolling down the hill just before you get to the tunnel... I don't want to imagine how difficult it was to get that one relocated!

[@The8BitNerd]

Woow que bonito. Saludos de Perú.

[@ScarabChris]

Sorry if it has been answered. But aside from the steamers which are obviously true steam loco's, what powers the "diesel" loco's?

[@petercunningham4000]

What is the lever on the post for?. I notice all the drivers operate this lever as they pass.

[@CSXGirl822]

They're for the signaling system the whole railroad has. Lots of places are double tracked or have passing sidings, so signals are needed as there are usually multiple people running at a time.

[@louisvillenashville152]

cool video, I love live steam and 7 1/2 gauge trains

[@CSXGirl822]

7 and 1/2 gauge, that's what I forgot to put in the description! Thanks for the unintentional reminder! :D

[@louisvillenashville152]

your welcome

[@louisvillenashville152]

oh and glad to see your back

[@valentinovito5877]

Some people never grow up they stay kids forever

[@northeastrailwayproductions]

What are the light antennas I see the engineers touching as they pass them?. Is it a track switch?

[@CSXGirl822]

It's part of the signaling system the railroad has in place. They're pressing/bending those switches as they enter into another signal block, so that any oncoming trains can divert into passing sidings or so that there isn't too bad of a cluster/traffic jam when there are multiple trains going the same direction.

[@patsyroeder8307]

This is great!

[@RodolfoSolis-hu2st]

Está muy bonito a ecala y chistoso 😅

[@bobbywright2100]

Does anyone know where I cam find a drawing of the layout for this railroad. This place looks massive. Thanks

[@brentcarr8365]

Theres a link in there description. Mill creek railroad has the layout on there site

[@3rdfarmer86]

How is the mechanics of the two 6-axle diesels set up? What’s the prime mover, gearing/clutches, etc? I’d like to have a steam and a diesel locomotive in my collection but I’d rather not have it run off of a Briggs and Stratton if possible

[@megalonrulez]

I know a couple builders who make 1.5" six-axle diesels that run on electric motors. I'm also not a fan of the gas engines.

[@roytaylor5618]

Awesome video man what do u have to do to get a job there

[@CSXGirl822]

No jobs involved, these folks run these as a hobby like some run model trains. You just have to know someone to get invited to a meet up or find one of the public meets.

[@Ed-ty1kr]

Derailment at 16:16

[@robert3302]

I see a lot of these trains include tank cars. Are they just models, or are they running propane to make steam?

[@megalonrulez]

Some burn coal, some burn propane. Propane is normally stored in grill or food-service propane containers.

[@npk765fan]

What city is this in

[@CSXGirl822]

Coshocton, OH. Be aware it's a private layout and is usually by invitation only.

That 4-8-4 steamer is really cool. Has anyone built a 4-8-8-4 (Big Boy) yet?

[@melissas7198]

I may be wrong but I've been told that with most of the turns on these types of rails, a big boy type of engine isn't capable in making those turns. Now I would love to see a miniature big boy though.

[@melissas7198]

There's a handful of online stores that sell these. Thing is, they're REALLY expensive. Model locomotives in this scale can often go for as much as a new base-model car.

[@livingthenurselife2339]

Hello, im interested and in need of someone to come or a place to take my grandfather's steam engine for repair. It needs the boiler rebuilt. He built it in the 70s and it ran until 2009. Four generations have enjoyed it and now a five generation needs the experience and joy but grandpa has dementia now and can't do it alone. If any knows of a place or someone near Pittsburgh PLEASE reach out to us via Facebook, Heather Pugh picture of a new born with a saying " I love my grandson to the moon n back"
