That was fun to watch! Please make more videos!

Great video. I had to share it on my facebook for the train lovers. I git a u-boat.

We test our stark arrestor designs in the dark, and found that adding a solid plate on the top really helped the effectiveness. This stops the forced embers in the exhaust from being pushed thru the 1/8" metal mesh.

Another great engineer's perspective video Tony. Thanks for sharing. Tom

Something like a bird whistle. the valve was on the cab floor, with a trap below leading to the whistle. Water would collect in the pipe from the boiler to the valve, then be blown into the trap to gurgilate when I pushed the lever!

[@Dinosorable]

Gotta love that whistle!

Awesome!

[@tburzio]

No, it was done off the plans for the Ken Schroeder Shay with the pull reversed to fit under the cab roof.

[@tburzio]

It sounded horrible until the valve was replaced. Much better now! :-)

[@Dinosorable]

How did it sound, before?

[@Dinosorable]

Are you the one who fixed it?

[@JamesPattersonGeepfan]
