As somebody that lives in Joshua Tree, seeing this makes me realize I have GOT to get out to the JT&S. Haven't been there in about a decade. If you pause the video at 15:27, I'm literally just on the other side of those three little hills in the center of the frame. I live so close but hardly ever visit. LOL! Beautiful loco by the way!

So this place has been there at least a decade but barely has any ash or cinders on the ground? I'm trying to figure that one out.

Very nice. Great to see the details as you got ready and up to steam. Nice stack talk sound in the bridge and hill scenes! Bill.

Looks like a completely genuine steam locomotive from the inside... THEN A GIANT HAND REACHES INSIDE!!! Cool cool 😎.

I like the period correct rolling stock, looks really good. I didn’t see much snow to plow, but maybe you have to get up to the higher elevations.

This is one of the places to visit on my bucket list since it is one of the only live steamer switchback RR's. Curious about track layout and planned expansion, what is the current max elavation & length?

I first saw the JT&S crews C&S moguls on the 1982 "love hose Trains" documentary. 15" is there too.... Any projects in 5/12 scale going on there?

I liked this a lot and I subscribed. I hope your channel grows. It should I think because of your nice mixed content. I'm a self employed Industrial designer/machinist for 26 years now and understand what your doing for the biggest part. Maybe Solidworks modelling (great tool, no doubt about it) isn't for everyone to enjoy? For me as a technical junkie keep them coming but maybe not for the bigger audience. I just watched a few of your videos what raised some questions for me. I'm not sure if you want to answer them on KZbin but I give it a try. It seems to me you have quite a nice shop with a nice conventional lathe and CNC milling and turning. Not the average shop for a steam enthusiast I think so is this a shop were you earn your daily bread and you are self employed? Or is it an opportunity at another shop were you work? Or what's your background and how did you get where you are right now? Just curious because I like to know who I'm looking at and how things are connected. Another Question; what's the brand and type of the CNC machines you're working with? The lathe gives me the feel of a Haas but I don't think it's an office mill. The CNC mill is a Brother type with a central tool changer but I'm guessing here. I own a Haas Minimill since 2007 and had great results with it. The way you run your machine though makes me feel like a pussy and fi possible I could chat about feeds and speeds in e.g. 316 stainless steel. Curious and thankful for your possible answer. All the best! Job, Delft, the Netherlands
