Vintage Train Gets a New Life - Full Custom Garage - Automotive Reality

[@yooper5638]

FYI, a 1972 Chevy Nova will fit perfectly on train tracks. Let a few pounds out of the tires, and the rubber conforms to the rail profile - No steering required. Smoothest ride ever. I can't say how I know this..

[@MachRacer4]

I could see that being the case with standard gauge rails, but they’re making that truck for 3ft narrow gauge from the look of it.

[@nickfay2359]

That's pretty interesting!! So what is protocol when you see a big single light in the distance? A quick "de-railing of the Nova??

[@yooper5638]

Know the train schedules!

[@nickfay2359]

@yooper5638 hahaha....I notice the yooper in yr name..I wonder how many others that have commented even know what "da term" means..😆😆 imma troll, but own a old shack in the Shingleton area for. Seem to always kill way more beer than deer..

[@ronstanek2851]

Many years ago I was a member for a short time of the orange Empire Railway museum and I am so happy to see it on video again because I miss going there on weekends to enjoy the day. Great memories and video!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

WOW! It took 6 years to get this video out...Really awesome project!!

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

Ken Mitchroney is a LEGEND. He did great work and this program undersells his accomplishments. He's worth looking up. Besides being a roth and train fan, he also drew Ninja Turtles and led many wonderful animation projects.

[@LuxorVan]

The Galloping Goose were all made from Pierce-Arrows and were used for mail and other delivers between the 30's and 50's in Colorado.

[@TCW-hw6iw]

Just like Ian, I would have been like a kid in a candy store with no limits! They have the most incredible collection of vehicles and 'stuff galore'. Who wouldn't be giggling like a school girl !!

[@markstoll5881]

Those old railroad guys are percise and heavy duty, you just fit right in

[@larrybookhamer1176]

This is the best yet! Great job

[@ElCamionero]

This was an absolute hoot to watch! Thank you for your attention, effort, and artwork. Bravo!

[@janingham1823]

Wowowowow. This is awesome. Thank you Ian and Ken, and all involved. You’ve opened your heart and talents to many that will tour this museum. I will check it out with my son and grandson

[@zjgw72]

Thanks to the "Strange Land of Ian" for another great video. 🤣👍

[@JasonAlexander-uz4ns]

Such good ideas to make this work .Great job

[@DismayingObservation]

Outstanding! I was a member years ago and I helped build the Signal Garden. It’s grown quite a bit since then!

[@patrickrooney5130]

He's just an artist at what he does. Well done buddy.

[@walterlamb4756]

Outstanding job!!!!!

[@Awsom47Merc]

* New subscriber here. First vid of yours I've seen. Cool build. Wow they do have a lot of sweet stuff sittin' around. I'm going have to spend some time going through your past builds. Cheers Buddy ! 👊😎👍

[@sardu55]

All-time fav for the Ian Collection.

[@Telephony954]

Wow. great effort. Great results.

[@MysticFrequencies]

Reminds me of the Galloping Gooses that were made ages ago in Colorado for the Rio Grand Southern RR.

[@johnhart125]

Totally cool. Love them steamers

[@garyharrall4002]

I love trains, and as a railfan myself, this was enjoyable. Definitely have a new subscriber

[@adamhi3134]

THANKS A LOT AND CONGRATULATION

[@todayisit3]

That was different but very cool. Really showed off your fabricating skills. 👍 👍

[@EnGammalAmazon]

I have one almost exactly like that!! Mine is a 1930 Model AA It has the '27 T cab, '28 radiator, hood and cowl with 1930 fenders. It is sitting in Sandy, Oregon. I am moving to Sweden and if you want this truck, it's yours. It might provide some needed parts for your train. The body is almost gone, but the complete chassis is there and it has the ring and pinion rearend and not the worm gear drive. You can find me by looking up "handcrafted log homes Sandy Oregon ."

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Great project!

[@rodneyringler3745]

😂Who ever said or thought being really cool was that tough of a job! Good work Snipe!

[@keithusace4352]

This reminds me of the mid 70s when I was building an old Harley flathead rigid frame and needed a brake pedal and a friend of mine worked in the L&N railroad maintenance shop and he went to the nines making me a pedal complete with needle bearing and polished to the max. I told him that with that kind of quality I was going to have to up my game. It turned out great though.

[@shantymandeath3623]

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@johnpartridge7623]

Great job Ian 👍

[@TX-biker]

Ian is finally in TRAINing🤠

[@edwardhughes3240]

Very COOL Ian! Eddie

[@mattsceilingfansandmore2573]

I like trains.

[@rockypergin2216]

Crazy but very cool

[@jefflewis6331]

Ian, you are a genius!

[@freedomtowander]

Awesome!

[@terryderush2657]

This was just great 👍 😊. Thanks for sharing this with us 😀 😊

[@nevilleberghofer6791]

this is the 2nd time i have watched this video from start to finish and enjoyed it both times thanks

[@VicSwanby]

Ian finally got to play with real life Lionel trains and make one of the coolest rail cars to go down the tracks. Your fabrication skills are beyond belief. Everything seen here in this video was in its heyday during the industrial revolution and for him to reach back and recreate this utility rig and workhorse from old heavy scrap iron shows that no matter what he is challenged with he knows how to get the most interesting jobs done. And doesn't that thing look cool sitting on the tracks. Hot rod or not that's what a great imagination has to offer. The coolest thing is kids can look at this and see history from every corner. Although it wasn't shown in the picture that was presented I'd say the only thing missing from this right now is the old caboose rear swinging lantern that would have indicated to an approaching train that there was something on the tracks. I'm curious how this thing would have stopped though. This was a really cool video to watch not only will everybody that shows up and sees that thing in person think it's interesting but to keep that history alive is simply priceless. Keep up the good work Ian there's no slowing down on the cool factor with you and your skill set. Never in my life would I have guessed I would watch and enjoy a odball of a train being built thanks for sharing such a fun and exciting thing with all of us. Honestly you never cease to amaze me with the creativity you have. Cool Factor written on everything!

[@brucecook3297]

cool project

[@MiguelGonzalez-gp2zz]

Awesomeness! Love it! Keep on keeping on!

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

That is one big 'HO' model railroad layout.

[@JoeTichy]

I'm gonna build something like this & mine is gonna be able to go on the road and the rails.

[@warrenashley7201]

Badass

[@derekbleeker4307]

This has to be my absolute favourite video

[@thomasbradley4868]

This is what like to watch! Not you in your garage working on one car and you don't finish it .

[@chuckclark9464]

I’m just sending this out. You haven’t done any videos in a little bit usually they come regularly. I’m just sending out a hope you’re doing all right. Sending your best wishes sincerely, Chuck.

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

One big set of KADEE wheels their putting on the rear of that old time truck.

[@timsutterby9899]

So awesome

[@владиславхаритов]

Классная работа. Привет из Анапы.

[@MikeTaylor-v4m]

Ian miss your show on motortrend channel you do awesome work

[@chiefknowstomuch]

Ward Kimball had that Grizzly Flats barn and the Chloe locomotive in his back yard in San Gabriel, California for years off of Ardendale Ave. His neighbors must have loved him.🤪

[@nickm9123]

It's a goose!

[@butziporsche8646]

My vessel has 12 cylinder G.E. 7FDMs and they’re great. Although I was brought up on EMDs, ALCOs, And Fairbanks OPs.

[@Gadget-t3b]

My favorite hot rodder on You Tube. Your skills and imagination are great, looking forward to the next idea.

[@ralphnorris-vk8ff]

I would like to know where that museum is at! I want to go there for a full tour!

[@BrandonAlexanderRenteriaRamire]

Look likes the rare Vehicle on Appears in the movie cars 2

[@stevemayo1175]

That was Off the CHAIN KOOL

[@nicholasblye6553]

i worked in a machien shop before, one thing i was taught was to never leave you chuck key inside the spindle head when its on, your basically asking for trouble.

[@lugnuts7800]

It's a galloping goose. Used by the Southern Rio Grande Railway from the 1930's through the 1950's.

[@larryok8156]

Yes. They used to have one on display in Silverton Co. Not sure if it's still there, it's been a long time ago

[@michaelstarr5861]

I'd use retractable train wheels like on the railway service pickup trucks, then it could drive to any location & hop on the tracks

[@HannahSpring]

Been thinking about the "NON BRAKES" on this monster, had you thought about putting a heavy duty disk brake on the drive shaft??

[@robinknight333]

I think I’ve been looking at that train for 20 years in Cortez, Colorado. Is that right?

[@alanpaulick7815]

Ian does it again. He will turn a train into a hot rod and drive it to a car show 😊

[@davidnelson4251]

Foamers jeep creeps they have strange love

[@kylehc15]

ive seen other vehicals turned into rail cars top gear and the grand tour did it for 6 vehicals total

[@kurtschlick3891]

Is it really done? Did I miss something? Does it run under it's own power? I didn't see it run. Good job, now finich it!

[@adamhi3134]

THANKS A LOT

[@biggdawgg7455]

How’s it gonna go around curves ?

[@twin40dave]

Wow Ian can see the future... dropping in the MAGA hint , no end to his powers 😂😊

[@davidtappe5337]

He called it a hot rod.

[@kieranfitzgerald2030]

I'm not an expert when it comes to anything remotely Mechanical, shouldn't the front wheels be able to swivel on a central axis to compensate for the tighter curves of the railroad? or is that only required for railroad vehicles that are far longer to keep them on the tracks when taking corners?

[@Splat_Cannon-r7y]

all they had to do was show him the gallaping goose from the D&RG.

[@melvinthemechanic]

2018 Geeze

[@Fotosynthesis858]

I “sub’d” because of the pitbulls lol. Aka the best dogs ever.

[@twistedthrottle8513]

epic build made it look perficto ,love it

[@lawrencesmalley4904]

Brakes?!

[@tedgaines1863]

How would a welded train Wheels onto the inside of the regular truck wheels and then you wouldn't have to do anything else. Easy peasy!

[@bobbypemberton6257]

Honestly how long does it actually that to complete a buil

[@microbusss]

hey this isn't any different than what Rio Grande Southern did to make the Galloping Gooses aka Motors!

[@Jyooki_kikansha_Otoko]

Thinking the same thing.

[@ezekielfranklin7799]

There's a lot of great information and entertainment. But I definitely believe I've heard so many times I've got enough stuff here to do it. Definitely a bit too much repeating of that line. We have figured out that you have enough stuff to do it.

[@keithbeadling3847]

what state and city or town is this

[@robertdinicola9225]

Need to be syick welding that heavy plate. You are probably not getting good penetration with the mig.

[@ddssrr1614]

Didn't replicate the breaking system it had setup at the front.. How will they stop once the engine works ?.

[@Tigerpanzer6666]

my main ? is why does a train musam have old trucks that are practically no longer a vehicle of any type and have nothing to do with trains or rail road cars or locomotives

[@Jyooki_kikansha_Otoko]

Railroads have been converting road cars to rail use since the Ford Model T. They were used as inspection vehicles, service trucks, even train replacements for railroads that were down on their luck.

[@brucecook3297]

why does this vehicle have a steering wheel?

[@trixwoodz]

Bcuzitdid

[@andyevans2336]

What else are ya gunna grab in the corners? Oh, yeah, and why take it out anyway?

[@charleswilliams8197]

The term that needs to be said is hot railing okay guys put your thinking Caps on next time you make a New video okay thanks again Charles Williams later on now you hear me ❤️🤍💙👁️🐿️⚡😎⚡❤️🙏❤️⚡

[@Hu...R-U2024]
