Milwaukee County Zoo: Last Days of Steam
In early 2024, the Milwaukee County Zoo announced that they would be selling their two 15" gauge steam locomotives, No.'s 1916 and 1924, to the Riverside & Great Northern Railway in the Wisconsin Dells. This in turn meant that there would be no more steam power on their train rides, and the Zoo has since announced that they will be getting two new diesels to replace 1916 and 1924.
1916 left the Zoo in April, but 1924 would stick around until the end of October, as the Zoo did plan to run her for a few select weekends so that train enthusiasts could see steam at the Zoo one last time.

Kansas City Railfanning - August 2024
zhlédnutí 200Před 9 hodinami
In addition to visiting the Wichita Toy Train Club, I also did a ton of railfanning in the Kansas City area with @ATSF669 and @metalheadrailfan Due to it being one of the most active railroads in the area, this video will contain mostly BNSF freight trains, but there will also be a few Amtraks, some CPKC, and even a CN train as well believe it or not! Locations include: - Kansas City Union Stat...
Wichita Toy Train Club - 08/17/2024

Time for a slight change of scenery, so to speak. This past weekend I went on a short trip to Kansas City with @ATSF669 to visit @metalheadrailfan , and one of the things we did was venture down to the Wichita Toy Train Club and ran some of our trains on the layouts. This video is simply all the clips I took of our trains running there! My locomotives featured: - BLI Milwaukee Road 261 (Running...
Illinois Railway Museum: Diesel Days 2024
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed dnem
This past weekend I was able to attend an IRM event that I've postponed for way too long... Diesel Days! This year there was a special theme each day of the event, I went on Friday and the theme was "Four-Stroke Friday", so all of the operational GE's and ALCO's were out on the mainline. That also meant I got to see their honorary steam locomotive, GB&W 2407, ha! I even was able to get some thr...

Marx O Gauge Budd RDC Car: Boston & Maine 2124
zhlédnutí 221Před 2 měsíci
Reason I'm making this video highlighting this Marx Budd RDC Car is because I've noticed that people rarely talk about it, the only other video I've seen on YT about it is one by @daveclarklumber , which ironically is how I found out that this model exists! Also pardon the occasional stutter or ramble, this wasn't scripted ^^; But I hope you enjoy seeing this hidden gem either way
Day Out With Thomas at the Greenfield Village - 05/11/2024
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 3 měsíci
Normally I don't go to museums or tourist railroads during Day Out With Thomas anymore, but with the Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, I made an exception. Why? Because they're the only place that still uses the "Strasburg Thomas" besides Strasburg themselves, or if you prefer to refer to it by its original identity, Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal No. 15! Strasburg and Greenfield Vi...
Canadian Pacific 2816 & other trains in Wisconsin & Illinois
zhlédnutí 749Před 3 měsíci
As many of you know, a couple weeks ago, Canadian Pacific Hudson No. 2816, aka "The Empress", embarked on a cross-country excursion between Canada, the USA, and Mexico in celebration of the merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern. And thankfully I got to see her for part of it! I was able to catch her going through my hometown in Milwaukee and also get down to Chicago to see he...

"Amtrak Borealis?! At this time of year?! At this time of day?! In this part of the country, localized entirely within your railroad?!"
Seeing a miniature railway getting fully dieselized is bizarre and rare to me.
1:29 What company made that MILW A class?

I Was There On August 23 When You Filmed!
13:36, why is the engine going backwards?
Because the workshop where the engines are stored at during off-hours are in the direction it's heading, and the railway has no wye or turntable to turn them around
Magnificent catches of the gauge trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work out there, my friend, i just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
Such memorable footage. The zoo steam train will always be a special place in my heart. I could hear its whistle from my house faintly which was quite far.
Dieselization? Damn.
Yes, dieselization. They do have two other diesels already, but they're getting two more so that the railway will be a diesel-only operation next year onwards.
@@KorraDaTrainBuffwhat going to happened to the steam engines
@@MoonlightRailfaning The answer to that question is in the video description.
@@KorraDaTrainBuff ok
Cool compilation! Nice CN trio at the end
Hot take: BNSF is better than Amtrak lmao
Palace.
Farewell Charley: Charley's Dad gets a new job at the seafood cooking.
3:26: OH NO! Also, is there any reason as to why James has an anime face on him?
one of the younger members of the club is big into Anime so he is working on custom models of Thomas character crossed over with a certain anime of his he loves.

Trains eh?
I really like the seeing post war engines zip around the layout too. The lack of booming realistic sound effects is calming too
Great video. this layout sure is a sight. I like the appearance of the I love toy trains set (I always wanted that set). and I sort of had the idea to pay tribute to tom. I was thinking lionel did a boxcar with Tom's photo on the doors. the tm logo on the roof. and a collage of all the train videos tm has done as a rolling catalog in Tom's honor. that's just the idea o had lately wanted to try to think of an idea like that to email. I may try and see what will be the answer.
I had to skip it this year...too much other stuff I wanted/needed to do going on last weekend. 🙁 Nice to see what I missed!
WAKE UP Y'ALL IT'S FOUR-STROKE FRIDAY
great video
i dont hate on you for opening them i see youtubers hold ub boxes with the thing in them and say oh i wish i had one out the box so no hate❤
"Brace for impact!" 😱
I hope he has locomotive insurance
So lucky. Disappointed their King Lion animatronics broke down. 😡 Great video btw, animatronics fan here.
@@ghosthost100 Yeah I was wondering what happened to the King animatronics while I was there, I had seen some older videos where they were next to the Beagles. Keeping my fingers crossed they’ll be fixed next time I go
King neck actually snapped and king kats body was not moving
Crane's sound is also used as ambience in several episodes of season 5.
19:44 The animatronics are putting more energy into their performance than Mickey, Donald, and the others 😅
Thanks for the video! AMT also used the tooling later, as I have an Amtrak variant with modern electronics and motors.
Nice video!
Thank you!

I'm going to start a HOn3 railroad soon (accounting into a 365 solar cycle, and if society can quit having various freak outs). Mostly all scratch built 'cuz I can probably machine, 3d print, customize & decal for less money than manufactures wanna try and charge. yes I'll have some brass models but still. I'mma try and do a mix of the D&RGW, and Virginia & Truckee. Why HOn30? 'Cuz The track is narrow, and I HAVE to fill in more space with scenery...which means more realistic rock formations, realistic rivers, and best of all: scenic vistas. Gonna also have to add a volcanic field to my list of features I wanna cross (yes I'm NOT building a railroad to handle specific types of cars, but rather what kind of geological feature I want to see, this is more accurate to the prototype some rivet counters want to shove down our throats, the railroad didn't get to choose the car, but rather how to get from A to B, thus chose the scenery)
The new plexiglass barrier is a little disruptive, I prefer the rope barrier they started with.

Hi I was there on that same day too
Did you see yourself in the video?
@@KorraDaTrainBuffsadly no but I had a great time there
11:29 I was right next to you
I was wearing a yellow shirt with IRM's Shay on it, if you saw anyone in that shirt then that was definitely me ;P
@@KorraDaTrainBuff oh yeah
They are a great locomotive. Very well done
This might sound weird, but whenever I went to the Strasburg railroad to see him, I always felt like I was on his branchline on Sodor
Great catches, looked like a fun day!
Thank you!
Nice
