Train Mountain Triennial 2015- Ride Behind Larry Anderson's 2-8-8-8-2 Triplex Steam Engine

[@intoprogrock]

At 6:10 and 29:40 there are clear views of the side of the Erie Triplex. Awesome work of art! Thanks for sharing!

[@SidneyPratt]

So cool! Just got to win the lottery.

[@markjohnsonandorangecounty7093]

Didn't expect to see Gary Sharp go by at 7:06. Haven't seen him in a long while

magnificted ride Behind Larry Andersn´traim and steam locomotive 2-8-8-8-2 thank you myifrieend LEO brazil RAIL ferrleo!!

[@algrayson8965]

Another Triplex was built by Baldwin: Virginian Ry. #700 2-8-8-8-4. It was unsuccessful, having insufficient grate area to push at over 5 mph. Its power would drop before its help was not needed. It was returned to Baldwin, where it was broken up into a 2-8-8-0 (later 2-8-8-2) and a 2-8-2. Its tender body was mounted on ordinary tender trucks. The 700’s problem might have been fixed if the exhaust from the tender engine, which cylinders were under the cab, had been piped to the smokebox to increase draft. As the locomotive was run compound, the exhaust from one rear engine cylinder being piped to the front engine and the other to the tender engine, the flaw in the design is easy to see. The limit on draft is when the firebed is lifted off of the grates and sucked through the tubes and out of the stack.

30 miles long of 7 1/2 inch track.

[@philipasanchez5445]

2500 Acres of Forest Surrounds. Approximately 28 Miles of Main Line!~

[@GudrezBilly]

I live two hours from it and found out it existed yesterday

[@philipasanchez5445]

11/06/19.. Hi Tim. Last time We were there Triennial 2015 there were 31 miles of main line.

[@authork.c.sivils3400]

Does the model suffer from the same issues as the original with running out of steam?

[@jefflynnalex]

Look at the video closely. It shows a Northern Pacific 2-8-8-4 backing into a train but the rest of the video is of the 2-8-8-8-2 from behind pulling a different train. There is no point in the video where you can see the side of the triplex... The only side shot is of the other loco; the 2-8-8-4. Definitely confusing. There are other videos showing both locos so you can see the triplex in one of those.

[@aussi3212]

at 6:34 that is the Erie triplex it has 8 extra drivers on the tender ,look at the drink bottle behind the seat and the box car with the two open flats, then at 7:14 the drink bottle and open flap box car are being filmed .

[@masonhoven8588]

Are all sets of cylinders powered are is the back pain a dummy because the the real triplex had the problem of running out of steam because all those sets of cylinders used so much steam it would actually run out of steam in real life

[@lazarusmagellan2367]

He may have decreased the bore to be less than scale

[@lazarusmagellan2367]

Another option is compounding. Make all the cylinders look the same but really be double expansion compound. The middle set of cylinders will be a bigger bore than all of the others (proportionally to get the right ratio). Then the middle driver left cylinder feeds the front two, and the middle right cylinder feeds the rear two. This was how g scale live steam triplexes worked.

10/17/19 Hi Health L I take it you filmed this! Great job.. I don't know what GoPro is But I've always Used a Sony Camcorder. Thank you for letting me know. I've Subscribed to you're Channel..

[@philipasanchez5445]

11/06/19. 1750hrs. Good Evening Health. You Subscribed to my Channel? Wow! That's neat. Have you seen anything of interest? I'm assuming you watched my on-board video's. Enjoy you..

[@philipasanchez5445]

11/07/19 Good day Health. Something I forgot to tell you about the Sony Camcorder. It has Direct Copy which means there's no filing needed.Should want this can be done You Tube says Upload. Sony "Import" It hard a Hard Drive. 6hrs. of recording with a bigger battery. Now l believe that covers everything..Being slightly new at Importing is Too Easy. Yrs ago l had an RCA VHS Recorder. Over the Shoulder type Anyway'a Health l Feel you Bought a Sony. Enjoy my friend.. I'm in F/B. Look me up........o-OOOO=OOOO=OOOO-o

[@mikedarbyshiretriplex9967]

nice job

[@NeonTube]

How many cars can this thing pull? Also I may build a real super Garrett with a 2-10-10-2+2-10-10-2 wheel arrangement to do some testing with...

[@bluefoxy6478]

Yes.

[@JOEMAMA_534]

Kick ass

[@Garylee17]

Very nice video plus where this take place?

[@fpv_0205]

I would love to do one lap of a miniature railway for a whole hour, our track is only 800m so it only takes 6 minutes

[@philipasanchez5445]

Next time you decide of filming you're Track.. Take you're Time. Make it Last. Do A Surround filming to Show off What it Looks like!~

[@fpv_0205]

I’m not really into the photography / filming side of things but some other members are m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHbFhqqBmrqkftU

NP Yellowstones are awesome

[@philipasanchez5445]

09/29/19. I met Larry back at the Triennial 2003. I'd asked him why he didn't go down the hi and he sad because the Boiler couldn't produce enough steam to take care of 6 steam chest's. Said he was going to disconnect the rear. So seeing him going down the hill I guess that's what he did.

[@bluefoxy6478]

Was that taken care of?

[@philipasanchez5445]

@@bluefoxy6478 Yes it Was. That's how Larry came off the hill by Disconnecting the rear Steam Chest's...

[@GudrezBilly]

Ah, so the locomotive has accurate issues! That’s pretty awesome despite being technically terrible. 😂

[@bluefoxy6478]

Maybe with some clever engineering it could work, after all, a lot of things had kinks in the beginning, but were ironed out.

[@philipasanchez5445]

No. That issue was taken care of back in 2000-03. There's no longer A "Technical Problem" 2000 Larry couldn't take it off the hill. Now He can.. ""Technical Problem"". It's Not A Damn Computer

[@randallfunk8389]

very nice

Trouble ahead- trouble behind-Casey Jones you better watch your speed…

[@thecurtray]

elon is cia op hello. who gets to shoot missles.. a programed we will go

[@didyou555]

Thats a 2-8-8-4 not a 2-8-8-8-2

[@cumminspower5531]

It's a 2-8-8-8-2. There's 2 wheels on the leading truck, 8 drivers then 8 more drivers, then another 8 under the tender. All 12 axles are driven.

[@normandlemire7566]

Dont , count tender wheel 's ...

[@RRBuilder611]

Thats not a triplex. It's just a 2-8-8-4

[@martinvotava7711]

It is - the train, that is shown in beginning is different one - if you take a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/e52XYaJuetaVgJI you can see, that it is a triplex.

[@vettebecker1]

Look at the 6 minute mark and it is a triplex pulling the train.

[@braydenliamsus8088]

ლಥ_ಥლ

[@michagrill9432]

Thats a duplex not a triplex...

[@robertbowman3406]

Would not a duplex have two sets of 8 drivers whereas this triplex has three sets of 8 drivers. I have seen this loco in person and have chatter with her engineer. It is awesome up close. He made is by the way.

[@normandlemire7566]

It is a ,2-8-8-2 , not a 2-8-8-8-2 , you have à lot of " 8" ... ! ? !

[@cumminspower5531]

Do you guys have run through and snap switches for trailing moves?

[@philipasanchez5445]

11/06/19 Snap Switches? All around the Back Shop Yard. Some in the North Loop. And yes they Do have Drop & Pick Train Games and it's a Points type of game.
