Brings a big dumb smile to my face to hear my tunes on this. Thanks so much Matt! :D
Great video, as well!
it is really nice that theyre using your soundtrack and some of your video. shows a certain kinda appreciation and respect to their employees i reckon
😀
@@Spook_Boi I've been wanting to use the tracks since Hyce gave me the okay.
that is you playing cool
Hyce sent me here, this is awesome! 😊
Same
Gooseing along lol. Great video 😀😀
Great and informative video with familiar background music, Thank you for taking the time to share this.
I hear mark's music!
Here in Prescott, Arizona we have a tourist shop called "The Galloping Goose"; now I'll always associate the unique "Depressionmobile" with this shop!
Very interesting video, which led me to wonder whether the Geese led to the introduction of the "Highboy" type of rail vehicles.....
Remember that the road to salvation is narrow.😊
Nice to see these neat machines are still here.
Thank You, great information about something I never heard about. Very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video! I have three Goose models on my HOn3 railroad layout. Love the mountains and the history of how and why men made railroading work there! Thanks! ...Claude
Outstanding video. Railroaders believe in their industry's past better than any other.
Would be neat to do a feature on each Goose left behind. Always been a fan of rail cars and will watch a feature on one any day.
Spoiler alert.....after airing this episode we decided to cover the Nos. 6 & 7 in greater depth for November & December.
I remember in the 1960's as a kid and I saw # 5 sitting by the old depot. I ask mom about it and she old me the story. I thought it was amazing then and still do I like to see the history of the goose, keep telling the story.
What a fascinating broadcast. The railroad was certainly ahead of its time as similar vehicles appeared in other countries, for much the same reasons, that of economics. It is amazing that so many have survived as these were withdrawn from service before the preservation movement took off in a big way. The people are absolutely delighted with this video presentation and are very grateful for the work that has gone into it.
Thev RGS was 20 years too late. Railcars like the Galloping Goose with standard parts from trucks or busdes were common in Germany and France from 1929 on like the Wismar railcars in Germany or the Billards in France. The Wismar railcars had 2 motors and cabs so no turning around on the end of the branch line was nessescary. Always funny to see that Americans overestimate "their inventions" because an lack of general knowledge.
Yay Hyce’s music is used in this and I really want to visit the museum
Great info.
Glad it was helpful!
I grew up in Telluride in the 1960s. We used to have one there that we used to play in. It was later moved to a different location in Telluride. It was very neat. Thanks for the history lesson. Nicely done.
I used to frequent the 1/4 scale railroad at Trade Winds park in Fort Lauderdale, FL and there was a guy who built a model of this, and I got to see him run it a few times.
That's cool.
So interesting- thanks for the hard work making this video, Mr Hammond.
Very nice, like .
ITS MARKS MUSIC
Using wife’s phone not her opinions (she is into trains also so she would like this video) Awesome not only did you cover the history of the Goose you included the railroads history great coverage of all of it
Very cool!! I saw a Goose in one of Hyce's videos and now my questions about it have been answered!
Great to hear!
I think if memory serves me correct I think C.W. McCall had a song about these.
LETTTTTSSS GOOOOOO MARK/HYCE oh yea nice video on the goose’s too I knew some but not a lot of history on them so this was nice
wow i did not know about the galloping goose fleet.
intresting roling stock.
👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Glad you enjoyed it
Great. Thanks for sharing.
WHISKEY AND SHEEP
Hi, we've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty.
My mail arrives early. Is truly awesome how our imagination runs wilde so they were true railfans to create galloping goose no. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. trains. "Good idea" Than to spend high cost of currency for equipments and resources to build trains
Imagine if somebody built one of these out of a Duesenberg? 230 hp would’ve been nice on the rails
wonder if they modded the gear ratios..? crazy.
sad to hear the company that bought the san luis valley rio grande are just going to auction all the assets off. Was my first and favorite excursion train ride.
there is a fake Goose #8 for sale at a antique store in SW Colorado somewhere
Price is $10,000 with trailer Yikes
I saw a pic of another Goose type in same area but it was a Standard Gauge one
oh I have the Colorado Rail Annual #9 about these Geese
Page 25 shows how to build one but where would I find a 1926 Pierce-Arrow model 33 limousine junker?? 🤣🤣
SHEEP
The Goose starts at 9:00, no idea why they covered unrelated information before that. It's clear the narration made some stuff up. The drive and chain setup was a common drive line on trucks at that time. It wasn't some kind of bicycle/car contraption.
Very nice video. Why was the goose nickname originated ? Thanks from a Lionel enthusiast who runs a MTH number 5 version in Mexico City
Vetting my response real quick to make sure I'm accurate......
What’s the little switcher at 16:13?
That is GC&SJ (Golden City & San Juan) Switch Engine "Pee Wee" No. 3 - here is a clip of it in action from Hyce's channel - czcams.com/video/viRoa9Ovt8M/video.html
Where is the video all we have is sound
in the galloping goose at Knott's Berry farm is not running at this moment they haven't been able to use it for at least a year and we don't know when it's getting fixed it's a bummer because it's the one right I have not gotten to write it Knott's Berry if everyone can write to Knott's Berry farm or get online and tell him they'd like to see it running they'll finally put the money into it
thanks for the info.
obligatory goosening and SHEEP comments
can someone explain me why it had to have air brakes I don't understand that I'm totally confused if at ram without air brakes for years why did it need air brakes all of a sudden or is that just something that the United States government had to have a hands in and make it happen because they're the big bad wolf
I'll see if I can pull a detailed explanation from our narrator.
