Running up the new track on the J&L Narrow Gauge

[@ReneSchickbauer]

From a single locomotive that didn't even roll to "we got so much rolling stock that we are running out of space"... it's been a fascinating story so far.

[@wilsonhardy2100]

Exciting to hear about the J&L porters being in route. Congratulations on that. Keep up the great work!

[@k8zhd]

So impressive to see what you guys have accomplished, and are planning. You speak with inspiring confidence. Makes me want to come back to visit my childhood stomping grounds in Mahoning County.

[@geoffreyhampson3993]

Thank you for this great explanation and reveal of your site and plans. So much to look forward to, but you have made fantastic progress. Right at the end of the line after the culvert it looks like a short, steep grade, or will that be filled? A warm summer's evening hanging around the fire pit with food and the aroma of steam wafting in the breeze. Perfect..

[@Bradleystrains]

I'm a fan in Australia and have been following your channel a while now guys. You railroad is awesome. The work you've done is amazing. Keep it up. 👏😁

[@teddill4893]

Things are going really well! Can't wait to see the now locomotives. Too bad I will not touch FB... :(

[@railroad9000]

I don't trust FB at all!

[@CSXT8482]

FB loves to rob you of your data. I don’t give it too much personal info, or show my face on there too often. I can only imagine the life without Facebook is a good one though.

[@bcbloc02]

Lots going on! Good to hear the boiler is taking well to the treatments. Corrosion the enemy of all things metal.

[@terryengland1880]

Looking great, the way it blends into the surrounding countryside looks as if aways been there

[@williamkelley7654]

Looks excellent! Keep up the hard work, it is most definitely paying off.

[@darknessfalls_hellfire2551]

I remember when J&L 58 was just all rust. it did not even look like a steam engine but it did and it look's amazing Keep the work up

[@barmmodelproductions3308]

Hey, Just wanna let you know the rate at which this has been getting awesome is exponential 👍

[@Rebel9668]

I kept waiting to hear you say...and the turntable will go over here...lol.

[@danielblahuta3330]

Thank you for the update and tour. Y'all are doing a fantastic job. I am a recent subscriber in Texas and I find the videos extremely interesting,and look forward to the next one.I would come help out,but the distance is just too far.

[@Coaster360]

Great video! You guys should actually make a station soon for the train, I am pretty excited about the 2 porters J&L 58 and J&L 59,

[@robertkoons1154]

You need a water tower so you don't have to use calcified ground water and maybe use rain water.

[@YoungstownSteelHeritage]

Did I tell you yet about the tankcar that is going to be hooked up to the gutters on the Tod Engine building?

[@johngeorge1294]

Really enjoy your videos. My dad worked at Youngstown Sheet and Tube I think it was after WW 2 for a while. My dad's mother and his siblings liven in Niles. I remember going to Ohio through Youngstown and was thrilled watching the trains. I think it was the Erie in Niles.

[@USASteamProductions]

Rick I'm glad the Canadian porters are being put onto trucks I bet the one you're gonna restore to operation is number 57.

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

You have been busy. Things are looking really nice there. Can't wait until they open up the border and I can visit. 😊😊

[@happyhome41]

Wonderful. Love the vibrancy.

[@cesmith4566]

Just talked to the mechanic at Diamond ,and there problem, he said there unloading today! Congratulations Rick!

[@johnmcnamara1554]

Looking great! You may want to install longer ties at some point to distribute the load better for greater stability. As I recall, your locos are a bit on the heavy side.:-)

[@Cnw8701]

I can't wait to see this thing completed!

[@SteamCrane]

Great progress! Keep posting here, because I won't go near Fakebook.

[@JZSlenker]

WOW, Those photos are awesome!

[@critterIMHO]

A number of bulk milk haulers fill swimming pools on the side using water they get from fire hydrants. They can deliver 5 to 6000 gallons at a time.

[@Transient901]

Small Block Ford Power! Love It

[@michaelshingleton1628]

Yea I don’t want to get into Facebook so I will miss out on the photos. Bummer

[@yugotime1598]

Remove that small block Ford and swap in a twin turbo LS. About 900 horse should do it lol.

[@FQP-7024]

Any progress on the Berlington northern engine that was sitting on a siding a few years ago?

[@brianrigsby7900]

Is there a muscle car engine in that green switcher? Sounds so cool!

[@davelewandoski4292]

Do you have plans to acquire more property so you can have a complete loop to run on? Great video!

[@FQP-7024]

Hey Amy news on that SDP45? Haven't heard anithing and just curious what's happening

[@jefftherailroadenthusiast8889]

Will you be making a loop track on your side of the orange flag to have the train continue it's journey.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Looks great I wonder how far your going to expand the rail line

[@bluef1sh926]

Is it possible to use rainwater in 58?

[@Benthetrainkid]

you should install a horn on the brookville switcher

[@timeflysintheshop]

Who gave thumbs down?!? If you don't like trains and such, what good are you? 😉

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome

[@B83024]

So Rick i have not heard u talk about the 6670 CR SDP45 for a very LONG TIME ? ? watching the last posted video about the 6670 it sounds like from what u say in the video NS is being VERY VERY hard to reason with right ? CR didn't call them Nazi Southern for nothing LOL but any news to tell about the 6670 at all ?? thanks

[@Train_Tok_Man]

Is it okay if I can post some of the footage of the Switcher on TikTok? I’ll give you credit.

[@AppalachiaRRlover]

I need to a painting of 58 for you sometime

[@bjrnfrederiksson2505]

It sure sounds like a muscle car engine I like it.

[@whitmano9380]

It’s cause it is 😂

[@korealaaya1826]

My dude. You gotta put a hemi in that gas switcher.

[@trainman05matthewb.65]

Question, where are the Canadian lokies going to go? Are they gonna have their own shed or are they just gonna sit out with the 58 inside the boxcar? I thought I remembered that you were getting 2 boxcars. Either way, you guys have been having amazing success, and it's always amazing to see updates. Thanks, Matt B.

[@i-am-toast4235]

Imagine this being your backyard, it would fulfill my dreams.

[@heatherhayes6881]

[@ferky123]

Narrow guage.

[@kevwebb2637]

Is it 18in or 2ft gauge?

[@Stoker58]

2ft

[@bratekdylowski2250]

V8??

[@Ricky-manic]

First time I ever seen a ford V8 in a train lol

[@raymondleggs5508]

hard water express

[@whitmano9380]

The muscle train

[@henryhamann5212]

got kicked off of FB, for life, twice!

[@sausagefingers2885]

Any problems with that V8, find your local Mustang / F-series club and offer them pizza as payment.

[@paulhare662]

Throw away the module and find a points distributor.

[@sausagefingers2885]

@@paulhare662 yup. And if it a points / condenser system fails, replacement parts are like $12
