Firing up and Running Northern Live Steam Locomotive 402 | Marshall Steam Museum

[@lionfish1232]

I was a boiler technician in the US Navy 86-90 it was so cool learning boilers (Babcock & Willcox modified D type 600 psi marine propulsion boiler) I think about that equipment every day still. I appreciate and respect what you are doing great video. Thanks

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

The amount of knowledge needed to run a steam engine is admirable to say the least .

[@Dudeface167]

Really there are 3 main controls, regulator for controlling speed, reverser for direction and cylinder cocks for clearing condensed water out of the cylinders. All the other stuff is pretty much just extras.

[@Dudeface167]

I forgot about the fireman, he's the one who has to control draft and keep the fire just right, the driver just has to control speed and direction.

[@TimeMasterOG]

@Dudeface167 yes but you need to be able to perfectly use those controls to run the steam engine efficiently. Otherwise your wasting steam

[@lordofthestings]

Its amazing how much pulling power that little engine has.

[@Cyberdyne_research]

I love how much work you train guys put into your hobby, with no ROI other than your own personal enjoyment. It reminds me that not everything you do has to be that “sigma male grindset” that you can just peacefully enjoy whatever you do without making money. Most of us will be forgotten in 100 years, and you remind me that it’s important to make the most of your time, even if it’s only for personal enjoyment. Thanks for reminding me that not everything has to be about the hustle and the money. Forget about what others think, and just enjoy yourself. I think I’m going to go build a model airplane. Love you guys.

[@sircharles7323]

Steam locos are still the most impressive ones. The only thing where you can experience physics and technic so near and clearly. Very nice loco and track!

[@brianvalliere552]

These “little” engines are such amazing pieces of machinery and engineering

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

I wonder how much it weighs

[@wkjeeping9053]

These little ones are just. As a teenager I was fireman for full size right out of high school. A 4-8-2 consolidation

[@HarryWarren1223]

Great video Ben! Really highlights the great runs we had that day.

[@Bennyboi_]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kieranlochran1843]

Incredible. For a small scale locamotive, it's still a big beauty

[@wholeNwon]

Probably the best collection of Stanley Steamers in the Country. Clarence Marshall was the local Stanley dealer and he put aside one of each model for himself. When I was a kid, Mr. Marshall showed me how a Stanley worked and some features of his Dobles.

[@Eric-jo8uh]

Admiration to you guys……much admiration.

[@MarkRBlackwell]

I used to work on those engines in my teenage years when they were still owned by Tom. Place hasn't changed a bit!

[@Bennyboi_]

Oh wow, luckily the locomotives and Stanley’s are now owned by the nonprofit so they’ll be here for a while longer

[@TheFunnyDictator]

Are the models based on real locomotives, or are they fictionalised?

[@anzo06]

damn that is so revolutionary. now imagine if we made this bigger.

[@raymondhoyland61]

The build is fabulous… running I can see and hear it’s soul and life… YHWY is a fabulous creator of mankind and their dreams and machines

[@hobbycentral818]

An incredible machine.

[@johnnyzippo7109]

Absolutely phenomenal work gents !!!

[@KlingbergWingMkII]

Must be extra special when the fall colors are in bloom.

[@tkx86]

These are the sort of videos youtube was really made for... I am a qualified light vehicle Mechanic in Australia turned truck driver (equivalent of a CDL in the states) and have always been about machinary from small to big and all the moving parts of that machinary... This is so cool. This really makes me think how cool the world is with all the different niche hobbies and hobbyists.

[@anthonydebski5814]

VERY damn WOW!!! What a SUPERB specimen.....a BEAST!

[@JimGarver-tx8rj]

Double awesome. Both the engine and the layout. Great engineering.

[@fishtailfuture]

I'm a steam fitter. and this stuff is just way to cool

[@donbenson2099]

Love it. It took some one a long time to build!

[@tonyking2030]

What a beautiful sight ✅👍😊

[@mikerapp8163]

Steam is an amazingly powerful force. Boilers take an astonishing amount of labor to maintain. Good video. Thanks for posting.

[@fahkehnaye]

This is the absolute coolest thing ever! You guys are so lucky!

[@elijahglasser1421]

Amazing trains

[@WilliamHudgins-n7q]

Ocean View Amusement Park, Virginia, had an small steam engine with cars that was a ride. I used to go on it when I was a child. I wonder what happened to the train and cars after the park closed down?

[@madcatmk2sch]

Beautiful engine

[@NoizeyAcres]

So fascinating Thank you

[@hansvandijk1487]

Beautiful, just beautiful! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

[@smidermann]

Farking awesome!!!

[@pierreroyer6192]

Magnifique, incroyable, fantastique... Bravo les gars

[@LaurenceDay-d2p]

Beautifully crafted mineature locomotive. Wonder how much it cost, and who built it.

[@olivvapor4873]

Just incredible model ! 😊👍🏻

[@huto9606]

Jedes Hobby ist wunderbar

[@timu438]

Steam will always be the king. Nice "Northern"!

[@oldnstillworkin5709]

Beautiful

[@Bennyboi_]

Thank you!

[@Onemanstrash1]

That is just way to cool , I was helping with some antique steam tractors this summer , and might get my licence. I made a few videos , but not as cool as this is

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

WOAH! That's awesome!

[@xaqxiq9281]

I wish I had the knowledge, know-how, experience, and resources to be able to have this in my yard😊

[@krzysztofwaleska]

Nothing stops you for doing that in your free time. Better to have hobby than looking on screens all day. My is modular diy synthesizer. Just one, but quite big ;)

[@BrooklynBubbler]

This is art.

[@martinsancassani3207]

Das bewundere ich sehr an den Briten und, wie in diesem Fall an den Amerikanern, ihre akribische Liebe zu dampfbetriebenen Fahrzeugen! Ob Dampfwagen, Fahrzeuge aus dem Nahverkehr, stationäre Dampfmaschinen oder Lokomotiven, alles ist bis heute (und ganz sicher auch noch in 100 Jahren) in erstklassigem Zustand erhalten und gepflegt von zahllosen Liebhaber- Vereinen.

[@Joseph-jq8ve]

I so can't wait to build my locomotive

[@viviangrabowski6506]

How the hell did they manage to build this locomotive 🚂 😳 ??!! That's brilliant, everything looks like real and works well like this... - that's not normal, that is unbelievable... !! Absolutely amazing 👏 and perfect !!! Vivian Hyde 😊

[@BobBob-eh5sb]

When I was a kid in the early 60’s, we went to the Old Thresher’s Reunion in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. They have a bunch of the old steam powered farm tractors there. One guy had a scale model of one that was probably half the size of this locomotive. Everything was to scale and worked. It did everything the big ones did and was so cool, especially for a kid. It was for sale and I tried to talk my dad into buying it, but I guess he thought $1000 dollars was a bit too much.😄 If it’s still around 60 years later I imagine it would cost a bit more. The detail and craftsmanship of it and this locomotive are very impressive.

[@Anne6621]

OMG this is flat out cool and no matter who you are if you don't think this is flat out cool there is something wrong with you !!!

[@hansvonflammenwerfer2817]

What a tiny little big cute fella

[@blue1901]

that is the cutest thing i have ever seen

[@ontargetthomunclesam3926]

Just a grown up Kid looks like a good time

[@AlexHoy-g7r]

Amazing video

[@robertk-qn6mg]

I'm taken aback. Was about to ask what scale might this be called, but heck, who cares...lol. amount of detail and this is actually a steam engine! Lol. How awesome!

[@Bennyboi_]

Glad you enjoyed! Though to answer your question anyway, this is 1/8th scale live steam running on 7.5in gauge track

[@bamsigill4011]

Thanks for this video sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thanks

[@fishtailfuture]

the Big Boy is still the most powerful train ever. I just watched a special on it. If i'm not mistaken, it was comparable to 5 modern diesel electrics. Of course they could build such an engine today if large single engines were preferable. But smaller modular are more economical. But it was impressive non the less. A record is a record and should be respected.

[@Carrosdecorridaedesenhadogu]

Great video Ben

[@Bennyboi_]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulsotheron710]

Excellent engine. 👍

[@petergorm]

Impressive!

[@MonkeyVR06]

4:20 Wheel slip

[@brennanlangless8912]

At the time that these were made available to the public I’d imagine the only ones who would be able to afford them would have been those with a lot of money and a lot of land

[@juanasanelli6831]

Que belleza,que maravilla cuanto amor ,cuanto trabajo y dinero invertido

[@FrisktheBunny]

I've always wanted to work on a preservation Railway...

[@randyfox4611]

It does take a certain amount of courage to ride around with a live steam boiler in your crotch. All jokes aside I really love seeing it run.

[@godlugner5327]

7:52 is that all unburnt coal youre shoveling into the ammo can?

[@Bennyboi_]

Somewhat. The coal has been burning, but hasn’t been reduced to ashes just yet. In order to cool down the locomotive we have to slowly dump the fire and remove the source of heat from the engine.

[@yinghuo146]

Awesome!

[@PanzerBuyer]

Some people have all the fun ;-)

[@mrxadam275]

nice

[@tomrunge2016]

Can’t even imagine how much one of these costs to build

[@teaser1950]

Por supuesto, todos los modelos que he hecho se quedan pendejos a comparacion de esta maravilla.....its simply a small Great wonderfull machine!

[@YODAMAN5]

AWESOME.

[@pilotmiami1]

bravo.go ahead

[@oligorman999]

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎

[@johnnyzippo7109]

For most of my life I have been a diesel head , lately I have evolved to preferring steam drive .

[@patrickgosse5118]

Magnifique 👍

[@mm-yt8sf]

what? it's not powered by a voltage across the tracks? 🙂does the dining car have an easy bake oven? it's so cuuuute

[@jacksalvin364]

#402 was fired up.

[@LUKEDASKYWALKA82]

I wonder what the total weight of this steam locomotive including the tender is :D

[@melindaburke4776]

Dedicated to Mr Bob hubbick Bob Burke Peter mcbratney Terrence Burke and pat Burke. ..Adrian Burke Peter and jess j .webb and Sarah..and absolutely fabulous actress from the UK who loves travelling on all trains. Lots of love from Melinda Burke in adelaide south Australia Australia happy train journeys from Melinda Burke in adelaide south Australia Australia..55yrs old Bob Burke's eldest daughter

[@sicks6six]

what is the horse power of a train that size ?

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Good video, like

[@RUSSIANFASHIONDIGEST]

господи какая красота, потрясающе 😀 для мужчин, которые мечтают еще раз попасть в прошлое

[@toymachine2328]

Something like that subject to FRA regs? Seeing passengers on that, I'm thinking it's under some kind of government or insurance company inspired regulations/policies

[@Bennyboi_]

Definitely under insurance, but since our gauge is smaller than 2 feet and we cross no public roadways, we are not subject to FRA guidelines. The steam engines do need state boiler inspections though.

[@eliedelorme9945]

Hello, where can we see this beauty and be a passenger ? Amazing train, love it

[@Bennyboi_]

It is at the Marshall Steam Museum in Delaware

[@ChargerusPrime]

Maybe someday I'll own one of these live steam locomotives. It'd be cool! Maybe get to go to train mountain someday.

[@victoriamaynard722]

don't the steam engines at train mountain have to run on propane to reduce sparks flying out and causing a lineside fire or was that lifted?

[@ChargerusPrime]

@@victoriamaynard722 yes.

[@jamesbond-cb4dt]

Anyone, how heavy is that loco, in kg please.

[@Bennyboi_]

About 900-1000 kg

[@doba78]

is there a this scale version of a 4-8-8-4? aka big boy?

[@Bennyboi_]

Of course! But it is not the museums locomotive

[@tacitoneryferreira8980]

Muito bacana 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@Srennoc]

That’s why they call them engineers

[@marmion150]

It's a beautiful engine. Is it a model of any particular "Northern ", or is it freelance?

[@Bennyboi_]

Its basis is a Alco/'Union Pacific FEF Northern class, but the only factor you can see from its basis are the castings such as the wheels and pilot.

[@Brandonmtzher]

where can I get one?

[@theRealccb83]

the thin light table plates from IKEA are weak... if you rage you can punch them but they will not survive... rage more but you have nothing left to punish... I appreciate that there are people on this globe who know how to put other people at ease with the simple love of steam and technical expertise. I hope our children will keep the old inventions and the knowledge from times gone by alive, we will never know.

[@Leoelleon71]

Me gustan los trenes los aviones los barcos los carros motocicletas son muy hermosas coleccionandolos como piezas de exhibición en miniatura

[@Flyingfortress_b-17]

What gauge is this???

[@Vostok341]

Questo è giocare con i treni!

[@RegularViewerOnYT]

i wonder where can you even get those locomotives

[@toymachine2328]

Custom built with lots of skill and money. And then you need somewhere to run them.

[@mootsym]

How much does something like that cost?

[@Bennyboi_]

Brand new? $40,000. And thats just for castings, drawings and a boiler. You still have to assemble everything and build pieces yourself.

[@nathanielemerson4204]

I do not believe it includes the price of the building, tools and all that. You can get a less expensive engine, but not that size or in operational condition. To get into the live steam hobby from what I have observed, it's basically a lifestyle choice more than just a hobby. It's like owning a horse or something. You have to feed, water and take care of the locomotive. If you can't do all that, don't plan on running it. This is from someone who does not have one, but I've been looking into it. I'm not rich, so it may be a long time before I can afford this hobby. @fredbrandon1645

[@toymachine2328]

​@fredbrandon1645I'd bet that's just the parts. Room, board, & staff extra

[@mr.sir.]

Be neat if they came to train mountain and ran on the massive 37 mile line there

[@Bennyboi_]

As much as I’d love too, the engine is not mine to decide what to do with :(

[@blackout_1930]

imagine a version of flying scotsman with two tenders and smoke deflectors

[@43sunray]

Toys for big boys.

[@mariannehoutzager9093]

Not only for boys!

[@BCHonea]

No Cleveland steamers?

[@3RTracing]

is this 7.5 inch track scale?

[@Bennyboi_]

Yes

[@urgdaddy]

Where is this place? I want to bring some family and make a nice donation....and a ride.

[@Bennyboi_]

It's the Marshall Steam Museum just outside of Hockessin, Delaware.
