ILS Live Steam: Live Steam Only Meet

The Illinois Live Steamers held their annual Steam Only Meet and we were on hand to bring you the steam action. 4120 returned to steam after being down for a boiler replacement and she was performing better than ever. Enjoy and thank you for watching The Steam Channel!

That one shirtless guy reminds me of Ron Pearl which kind of makes me laugh because I can't see Ron Pearl doing this. Much admiration though. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Love to have a layout like this in the field and woods behind my house.

[@markreardon3472]

Glad to see the 4120n back up and running again. Sounded great! Many other very nice locos as well.

[@jm5516]

4120 may not have been the prettiest but it was definitely the biggest. All great little steamers!

[@TheSteamChannel]

She’ll out pull near anything else on the railroad and she operates like a Swiss watch-that’s what matters 😉

[@jm5516]

@@TheSteamChannel It was actually my favorite one in the video.

[@MrGoosePit]

Glad to see the 4120 back on tracks. Was wondering were it had been. Looks like a beautiful day, and fun for all!

[@TheSteamChannel]

It was good to hear that stack talk again for sure! 😁

[@musicboy4615]

These locomotives probably cost more than my car

[@Mr.Killjoy95]

Love watching the 4-8-8 run hard.

[@bohcxhobo601]

I’d love to see more 1800 era locomotives

[@markreardon3472]

Seems like in a previous video the operator of the 4120 mentioned the gentleman that built the locomotive and showed some of the controls and other features made by the builder. Hope to see more of it in the future. Maybe plowing snow again.

[@Chevyguy-1984]

Good to see the 4120 up and running, was wondering where it had been

[@catfishjenkem2226]

1:29 huh... looking back at that caboose must feel really weird now

[@Stormysteamie]

ライブスチームはマニアにとっては夢ですが日本ではまず無理、有志が集まってお金を出し合ってもここまで大がかりな設備は作れないのが現状です、国の規制とかも結構うるさいのもありますけど下手したら周囲から苦情も出る始末ですからね。

[@SimonTog]

Lovely steam video, thumbs up :)

[@adamcordell]

I see they cut down the tree that used to be next to the ramp to the steam up bays 1:10

[@sdiv_tim]

I see my dad at 0:56 who made a trip with my mom from CA

[@24681359David]

4:25 How come that character never wares a shirt? Seems like he'd singe his chest hair off!

[@kingcr0pvods135]

3:34 Found the wolf man

[@MM-ci2cv]

May!? took ya time putting it up didn't ya! ? ;-)

[@TheSteamChannel]

Hasn’t exactly been the only thing posted since then if you didn’t notice. 🤪

[@francescoferrigno2339]

shirtless guy... for the love of god clean that bloody loco! xD pretty much shouting at my phone when i saw the state of it

[@jacobramsey7624]

Can you run these locomotives on charcoal?

[@mistermadmachine6311]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tylercdl3541]

What gauge is this?

[@ev0738]

When was this steam only event? My dad and I would really like to go, but dont know when it is.

[@TheSteamChannel]

The ILS is a private club, it is not open to the general public.

[@ev0738]

That kind of disappointing, but thank you for responding so we didnt end up going all the way out there. Do you know of any places that _are_ open to the public, even if you dont have an engine to run?

[@jamesm6638]

​@@ev0738you can look up if any clubs are having an open house near you

[@Andophonic]

These videos are making shirtless guy a little bit famous lol

[@TheSteamChannel]

He’s known by live steamers around the world as the shirtless guy 😉🚂

[@akamadman203]

Hot stuff 🤣

[@slashmaster2]

At 5:27 what kind of a tool is that?

[@lightningmcqueenfan957]

A vacuum.

[@jadenmcmanus8095]

Can someone tell me how much one of these locos cost?

[@TheSteamChannel]

Jaden Mcmanus $15,000 +

[@jamesm6638]

depends on the size and level of detail

[@Navarrete993]

Why is there a shirtless guy?

[@kirbyyork7669]

9:17, did I just hear a Bulleid Pacific?
