looks like the equipment handled the club track very well! I've visited here once, very nice.

[@davekreidenweis3126]

Nice ride thanks 😊

[@martythemartian99]

Speaking as a tree, it can get boring just standing in one spot for more than a hundred years, so it was good of you to take some of my siblings for a ride around the track. :)

Beautiful club train layout, nice job on the video!!! Wayne

[@Santafefrank]

Thanks

[@petercruikshank2618]

I had to keep watching to see what excitement was around the next bend....

[@StanFerris]

Beautiful run. Great to see the 70 in action.

Often thought (more in winter) months that if back in college these would be great drinking videos. Derailment/drink! 😵‍💫 Hows the 70 doing? And another nice set up here. Love the attention to detail and the prototype vibe. Love the rolling stock. And the CP train was a neat catch. The hand sign at the end was a stop/wash out, yet the train didn’t stop going in the hole? Nicely done.

The 70's frame has a slight buckle in it.

Fantastic place to run trains great

And there’s Casey with the old car alarm 🚨😁

[@scottleidenberger4401]

Looked like a good time. That should get you motivated to get working on your track expansion.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

yes that makes sense needing ballast to stabilize the flats. a bit of weight compresses the springs, so that they do not bounce off the tracks. when 70 de-railed , was it in the same location on the Adirondack RR ? have a great day!

[@artillerest43rdva7]

well you must feel right at home running the rails, what a nice set up! looked like 2-3 wide tracks in a number of locations. and all in trees so it has to be a bit cooler then being in direct sunlight. why were you hauling the wood? working to help clean up cut wood that has been setting around the track. it is so nice how you go to other locations and visit , you must have many friends involved running the rails. great video and thank you for the ride along. barry

[@petercruikshank2618]

My guess was the 70 needed some "purpose" or she would feel like it was just a joy ride..... 😉

[@MillBrookRailroad]

The real story: the two flat cars don't run well empty, so I picked up some dead wood and put it on the bonfire when I was done.

[@robertheinkel6225]

That is a strange engine at 31:50. We’re the trucks updated to look that way? The night operations are pretty cool. That 70 has a bright headlight.

[@MillBrookRailroad]

The loco at 31:50 is a Plum Cove GE25. Serial number 0001. The 70's headlight was only running half bright.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

Just wondering about the 55-gallon drums & buckets around the tracks, do they have water just in case of a fire near the tracks from the live steam?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

Water in case of fire.

[@phoenicianlocal2363]

Now,...do you have to change the guage of your locomotive trucks when going to different railroads,...or no?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

No need to re-gauge until I go to a 7-5/8" gauge track.

[@bryanthunderfootporter4436]

@@MillBrookRailroad Is 7 5/8” wide- gauge spacing used for 7 1/2” curved track (then narrow back up on the tangents)?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

@@bryanthunderfootporter4436 some people do it that way. I call that the sloppy way of doing it. All you really need is .060" for anything down to 45 foot radius unless you're running something with a ridiculously long wheelbase.

[@toadjam12000]

Are you running 2 engines? Do you have brakes?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

I have three engines, and they all have regenerative brakes. I can also M-U them together.

[@toadjam12000]

@@MillBrookRailroad I air brakes.
