The lack of a cab on that steamer makes it look naked.

beautiful engines enjoyed this video

[@isaiahhamilton1513]

That looks fun, I wish I had a job like that.

[@MrGoosePit]

Beautifully filmed. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks!

[@chucksandos8939]

WOW! It's amazing! I have not yet met the railways, where one could ride on the true worked steam locomotive like as ride on a horse! ;-) Very well, many thanks!

[@GudrezBilly]

What kind of whistle is that at 2:30? Sounds amazing.

[@traincrashproductions8075]

wow, hard for steam trains to climb big hills, still great video, keep up the good work! :)

[@TheSteamChannel]

Thank you! We had some fairly heavy cars along with us on this run. There were two hoppers filled with rock and a loaded log car..in retrospect, it was a bit too much for this Allen Models Ten Wheeler given the grades on the railroad.

I wish i can drive one of the trains..

[@Crusader1815]

Why is there a Burlington Zephyr in the thumbnail when it's not in the video? I hate when people do that.

[@DanielleMoren]

This seems to be a dying hobby, i rarely see young people conducting these trains on videos

[@TheSteamChannel]

I created and run The Steam Channel brand to try and make inroads into reversing that trend.

[@Crusader1815]

Probably because by the time these guys finally finish their custom built engines, they are old men... I saw somewhere where an engine took 14,000 hours to complete.

[@karlrovey]

You also don't have the resources to build your engine until you're old as well.

[@TheSteamChannel]

Hardly...I’m building an 844 and I’m by no means old. The hobby is no more expensive than buying a bunch of vision line Lionel engines. Buy 5 of those and you can have someone build you a nice road diesel for that cash.

@@TheSteamChannel Running today's Lionel trains is pretty expensive! I was in that hobby 30 yrs back and it wasn't cheap then.
