Victoria BC: Bassett-Lowke and Bowman Vintage Live Steam Bonanza! (For Nicholas. See Description)

My O gauge coarse scale Bassett-Lowke Mogul has indications it is from the first production run. Probably 1926 but also possibly 1927. I did a lot of work on it to get it running well and I repainted it.
In this video I am using a modern Lionel tender I modified and repainted so I can pull some of K-Line and Lionel railcars. I repainted the Canadian National Caboose and Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway boxcar as well. (The E & N was a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific that used to run here on Vancouver Island.)
The Bowman 265 is now masquerading as a 16 mm to the foot (SM32) locomotive because it is over-scale. It is closer to 1 gauge than 0. In fact, this engine has a narrow gauge look about it. Happily, 16 mm large scale equipment which is meant to model narrow gauge industrial trains run on the same gauge track as O gauge standard gauge trains. My Bowman is circa 1928.
Because I also run Mamod and Accucraft in 32 mm gauge my small garden planter railway provides me with plenty of live steam options.
Happy railroading!
Terry

@@medwaymodelrailway7129 indeed. Hobbyists should support each other. As I had mentioned I liked your use of junk like the pile of tires. Your painting crew looks great too. The lizard part of my brain almost caused me to gasp when I saw that fellow on the left climbing.

Nice Looking and Running Engine. Spring is around the Corner for.some Great Outdoor Railroading.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks! I know I’m looking forward to better weather. It rains most of the time here this time of year. I need to build my G scale outdoor loop.

[@MGdriver]

This is a very nice video again! The vintage locos are in the best hands. The layout with the fresh green trifolium at the track is a perfect framing. Yours E.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks Ernst. But it is nowhere near as impressive as your railway.

Wonderful video the planter railway is beautiful especially when the mamod Brunel was running on it with all the bush type plants and clover my bowman 300 runs just the same as the 265 although the bowman 300 has 5 wicks I use old hornby o gauge tinplate track for my bowman and mamod locomotives and I use mamod cars and old hornby o gauge cars all the fun in collecting steam engines I have 19 of them mamod wileso and bowman but the collection is still growing

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

It’s like an addiction isn’t it?

[@DENVERRIOGRANDEMAN21]

A British locomotive pulling American Lionel train cars never seen that before

[@JasonsOddities]

I do it all the time, I havent had time to collect actual bassett lowke cars that match, nor do I have the funds!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

I usually pull British coaches by Lionel. Other vids show that. So I felt like doing something different. Lol

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

This is the stuff I normally pull: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DIimeQiLGSd6M

[@JasonsOddities]

Great video. What a nice runner!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks! The Bassett needed plenty of work to run nice. It was a bit of a basket case when I got it.

[@watchfordpilot]

Nice to see an outdoor double stream run, albeit on a cool day. But, the days are getting longer and hopefully warmer to entice us all out to play (stand-fast those in the Southern Hemisphere 😜). Marge and the Rocket eh? Sounds like you’ll be creating a new sci-fi series with the Bowman ‘Rocket’ as a time machine lol!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Lol. I should put fins on the engine. Poor Marge and Henry. The speed and jostling were just a little too much for them.

[@huntercoleman460]

Cool. Still have this engine Terry?

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Sure do!

[@allanegleston4931]

me likes . bravo.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Hurrah! Thanks Allan.

[@laaity]

Maby you should make the tender a meths container

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

I could. But I use two different tenders depending on stuff I am pulling. Interesting idea though.
