Mill Brook 70 Night Visit on the Stoddard Hill Farm Railway

[@johnsmart964]

Number 70 is a particularly impressive locomotive and it is appreciated that you kindly provide us with these excellent video presentations so that we can enjoy number 70 also.

Great footage of night operations .

That was extremely cool! Love the 70 and didn't realize her lights were that bright.

[@MillBrookRailroad]

That's only half as bright as they should be.

[@ronanderson8631]

cool

[@scottleidenberger4007]

You need some ditch lights now !

[@MillBrookRailroad]

No ditch lights.

I bow to your knowledge, skills and experience...Could auto reversing headlights be worked out with a relay or diode circuit? Reverse power to the motor and the headlight reverses?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

I could easily do an auto reversing headlight like that, but I've had other priorities. I have headlights, and that's good for now. I do think about it from time to time, though. So, it's not out of the question.

Looks like the SHFR has a more substantial MOW budget than the MBRR. Not a lot of profit margin in wood pellets?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

SHFR has a higher budget and doesn't have to haul heavy loads.

Like the night riding. Be nice to have a freight car or 2 behind you. Does the railroad you was riding on have a KZbin channel. Have a great day be safe.

[@MillBrookRailroad]

The SHFR does not have a KZbin channel of their own, but I do have a playlist of videos from there.

Did ole No.70 get a fresh coat of lip stick? She looks all shiny and new . :)

[@MillBrookRailroad]

No. She's just clean.

[@NothingConsistent_Z1]

Kind of scary at night

[@andyknott8148]

Some sort of riding platform is a must, siting side saddle on #70 is so undignified, and probably does not do the loco any good either.

[@MillBrookRailroad]

The 70 was made to be ridden. That's why it doesn't have any tiny details.

[@andyknott8148]

@@MillBrookRailroad If #70 could speak, I think she may disagree 🙂

[@MillBrookRailroad]

@@andyknott8148 It was in the original design for the 70 to be ridden. That's what makes it such a powerful little loco.

[@andyknott8148]

@@MillBrookRailroad Ok that just leaves "undignified" then 😊 (Please put this all down to the jealousy of someone who has a back garden the size of a handkerchief) . Happy new year.

[@MillBrookRailroad]

@@andyknott8148 I do undignified well. 😀 Don't let the size of your yard keep you from having a railroad if you want one. Happy New Year!

Be careful Aaron during those moonshine night runs, with the forest full of angry wolfmans along the track...may be they want your juice...at least one was happy with the 70's one and steal it from you. But you bring it back to safety in the car as a good daddy would do... At the farm you have your electric car, electric 70, even wolfman turn to that juice. Aaron...be honest, are you electric too ?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

Technically, all atoms have a positive and negative charge so I guess that makes everything electric. :-)

@@MillBrookRailroad Ô i love so much that smart comment. I should present you the ghosts that live in my "mansion" ! You´ll have so much fun...

[@stevedombrowski649]

How much does the 70 weigh?

[@MillBrookRailroad]

About 200-lbs.
