More Scenes from J&L 58's First Run

Here is the GoPro footage!

[@mr.m3843]

I am very happy to see that locomotive run again you really did a great job thanks for makes me happy to see your videos Mohamed from Egypt

[@theanimerailfanthehagersto1280]

Glad to see Our Favorite Steel mill Switcher run again!

[@williamwintemberg]

This rebuild of the "Little Engine That Could" turned you into " The Little Museum That Did". Congratulations to all. I think you guys are now on the map!

[@travelingtom923]

Glad to see some of the more obscure and forgotten steam come back to life.

[@War1109]

For such a small engine it sure does have a deep chuff

[@adriankingston4338]

Well it weighs like 48 tonnes just on its own 😳

[@buildmor]

Think of it’s working application… It needed to have some grunt! 💪

[@legorailroader844]

That's quite the stack talk for such a little engine. Cant wait to see you guys get a good load behind her so we can really hear her bark! Also can't wait to see a replica of her original whistle be made.

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

From photos I have identified the proper whistle to be a 4" Crosby. So no need to replicate, I just have to find a 4" Crosby. Someday...

[@legorailroader844]

@@YoungstownSteelHeritage well least you know, Crosby's aren't that uncommon so there's that.

[@75Bird455]

This is a group that gets things done. Amazing work considering what you started with!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

It don't get any better than THIS!

[@c44mt]

It’s a crazy thought but what if the mill creek metro park would build a track in the park and run the 58 on it. They certainly would draw people to the park with such an attraction and what scenery. To hear that whistle and the rumbling on the tracks would be awesome!

[@PaulPavlinovich]

You amazed me Rick when you rescued the giant beast in the early 2000's - you've amazed me more than you're still going and still achieving the most awesome things. I've not chatted since the old Stationary Engine List days and was very happy to accidentally come across one of the J&L58 videos and watched until I saw the loco move. Well done to you and your team. Paul

[@tridentmusic5570]

That's a damn good "BARK" ! It's a great looking engine -shame it has to have the tank back on. Great Work YSH. (Over the "pond" and love the restoration series.) - now ENJOY IT !

[@publisherthewrittenwyrd4245]

Congratulations to Rick and the gang! Now, with the 64 and the 58 running, your next goal is to get the #3 back in action.

[@LIMowersAndMore]

LIRR G5 Steam Locomotive Productions yes number 3!

[@LIMowersAndMore]

LIRR 39 Steam Locomotive Productions bruh it’s in the background lmao.

[@justinhicks4897]

You guys did a really good job on that little engine if only there was more space for it to run oh well keep up the great work

[@luciotantignone7877]

Can't wait to see 58 complete!

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing.

[@mamodsteamreturns5492]

sounds epic !! be very interesting to see her put through its paces

[@dwightkrauss]

WOW!! Congratulations!! What a journey.

[@garfo992e]

Well done! Congratulations, and she sounds great also

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Awesome I'm glad she's running again

[@starkey2501]

RICK, You and crew have a lot to be proud of, When was the last time the J&L 58 ran under it's own power ??

[@Fnafstuffyeah]

probably like 50 years ago or something like that

[@tjsimongoldenfigureoftheki3477]

You know you should build an turntable so you guys can turn the Locomotive around easier. Maybe sometime in the future or later.

[@mollycaz1]

Great to see her running. You did a great job. Are you going to get her out on some track where you can run her longer.

[@nicholas2198]

Subscribed straight away as soon as you opened her up a little bit going backwards

[@Train115]

Narrow gauge? And good work.

[@NUKE-W.E.F.]

Outstanding effort and accomplishment, kudos to all!

[@michaelnaisbitt1639]

Admiration for you guys bringing loco back from what it was. The things you need like more track ,land, rolling stock, bigger tender and of cours e money will all come in time. Once you have a continuous run set up you can charge admission What gauge is it. Overseas query 🇦🇺🇦🇺🚂🚂🚞🇦🇺

[@TheBestTrainsAreReal]

Great video!! Just a question, how do reversers work? All I see is the bar go up and down and when the rods start moving it forwards or backwards, so how does it work?

[@Tombola1993]

She’s all fired up.

[@tedvolz9674]

Wonder how long it will take the left side driver flanges to wear down to nothin going around that 90 deg. turn.

[@JungleYT]

"Hey Daddy? Can I go play with the Choo, choo!?" LOL Fascinating, the engineering on this thing and that original designers were able to do it with just slide rules, paper, etc. Went from "Rolling POS" to "Rolling Ingot"...

[@DeathValleyLumberCompany]

Wtf

[@JungleYT]

She deserves more than this back and forth action... Need to get an oval going!

[@Mercmad]

That's a powerful sound for a narrow gauge engine ,Any idea of the tractive effort ?

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

16, 000 lbs. tractive effort

[@Mercmad]

@@YoungstownSteelHeritage Amazing! but probably necessary to pull copulas full of molten steel .

[@NUKE-W.E.F.]

@@Mercmad Agreed, this little guy is a workhorse. Can almost feel her chomping at the bit.

[@thucydides01984]

Why the long drawbar to the water tank?

[@marphtwo]

It doesnt have its saddle tank on yet

[@snailsandtires7398]

Rick! Is it normal for the wheel flanges to sound like that when turning or would the curve's turn radius need some adjustments?

[@lwilton]

That's a really tight curve for an engine with that wheelbase, so it's going to scream like heck going around that curve, at least until it gets worn in for a good bit. Probably not all the noise is the flanges. Remember that the wheel tread is going to have to slide on one side of the engine or the other, and that will make some noise too.

[@Poys718]

Now that she's complete what are your plans for the future?

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

Build more track and run the locomotive a lot!

[@masonhoven8588]

Congrats huge accomplishment!

[@Dave96z34v2]

Hey congrats looks awesome! Need to shoot it in B&W and fade to color it would looks sweat. How is the sandel take coming? By the sound of it must has very low ratio for extra torq.

[@CoalChrome]

Seeing how right of a curve your stock can go around, why not build a turn around loop, extend your property some if there are lots available and have a setup like that at Huckleberry Farms? I’ll donate for buying lands if it gets that accomplished

[@cmw184]

Whats up with the giant square plate on the smokebox?

[@patrickwebb7311]

Congratulations to you all.

[@dasboot5387]

Who’s the conductor going forward and back?

[@samthemultimediaman]

Its to bad you guys don't have like 20 acres of land, you could build a big loop for her to steam on.

[@Michael4201YT]

you guys need more track! And a bigger tender

[@PennsyPro]

That is the original tender, but it’s not on the right chassis.

[@nickhovey261]

Not it's original tender, Rick and I made that up from an old coal bin that came from Wheeling-Labelle. This summer we will build a larger coal box with straight sides.

[@RavennaRailfan4070]

58 is looking great! What kind of engine is the 3?

[@mattsmocs3281]

Ravenna Railfan 4070 third rail dock pusher the Pennsy had for moving ore and coal cars up the docks

[@dasboot5387]

Over der at da fair at da fair

[@jockellis]

Does this two footer have outside frame with reversed drivers so that the flanges are on the outside?

[@robertmuckey887]

Is this a narrow gage railroad

[@DeathValleyLumberCompany]

Omg

[@joeldunsmore5159]

Brings back memories of Great Western Sugar 0-6-0T #16 that the Great Western Sugar company used to shunt sugar beet cars at the factory in Mitchell Nebraska when i was little

[@bcbloc02]

Could it make enough steam to spin the rolling engine? That would be so sweet to have it back in steam even if just once!!

[@DeathValleyLumberCompany]

Ok.....?

[@edwardbenkert2618]

After you get that engine done are you going to redo a old coal car that they engine uses behind it I would like to see that too

[@DanJ30]

Nice running locomotive... Too bad it's stuck on such a short track.

[@microbusss]

why does the loco have a odd front?

[@johngrow1]

Its a square-sided saddle tank locomotive without the tank(which sits over the boiler like a saddle) on it.

Something is creaking. Could be the tracks or the engine?

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

Its the tracks from being so sharp

@@oldcroneysgarage9739 Okay.

[@mikeglenn3333]

Is the locomotive oil fired?

[@southern207hobbies]

Coal

[@ovondrak]

Well done!

[@kennethljungberg642]

Thank you that was see.

[@trenzmeister]

is that all the track you have?

[@nickhovey261]

For now... ;)

[@giuseppearditi7963]

Complimenti sono rimasto molto entusiasto immagino il momento del collaudo ho già messo in prossima veduta dei piccoli spezzoni di filmati trovati su KZbin grazie

[@ypopnun1003]

The sounds at the first are what I sound like in the morning's LOL

[@raymondleggs5508]

Thats a long gap between the locomotive and the rolling stock.

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

Just for that initial test run. When the saddle tank is on then the water car won't be needed.

[@kylewhiteley8655]

Way to go!!

[@oscarmartinsafonsodepaiva3320]

Parabéns. Muito Bom!!!!

[@thecarolinianrailfan8339]

Nice!

[@hugothomas1199]

Wait let’s not forget it name they gave it cince when they go it just rolled so they called it the “Rolling ingot”

[@52hogan]

Awesome....

[@dasboot5387]

Thing looks like it’s gonna derail lol. Ppl ridding it look like they’re really enjoying themselves

[@adriankingston4338]

You guys need some ingots to shunt around 🤔!

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

That is one of the long term goals

[@joliver3704]

That’s a nice job on that. Steam train

[@dasboot5387]

Think his names Jim bob or Bill Willy

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

You gies need to widen your turned by an inch

[@1TruNub]

Let them hear your voice ol girl!!

[@edwardbenkert2618]

You know I was thinking about that Coopersville Michigan would buy that from you Coopersville is a little town that has railroad tracks and they do old fashioned railroad rides so get ahold of Coopersville and Michigan
