  • Enjoy 1.5" scale live steam on the rails of the impressive White Creek Railroad. Erie #2936 puts on a superb show as she navigates the Michigan terrain. A special thank you to the fine folks who own the White Creek Railroad for allowing us to come out and visit. Thanks for watching The Steam Channel!

    I love seeing kids that know what they're doing when it comes to steam. You can teach a squirrel to run a diesel locomotive, but we of the steam breed is a well educated bunch. We have to be, you're sitting on a hot pressure vessel that can and will blow you apart if you don't give her what she wants. No wonder we refer to them as "she" and "her!" ***(DON'T TELL MY WIFE I SAID THAT! XD)***

      In Spanish we use gender for all nouns and a locomotive is certainly a girl. We say 'La locomotora' where 'La' is the female article for "the"

    This is a very nice site and operation for being on the property of one family. I hope some arrangements have been made in wills for its continued existence. There was a very nice family owned operation in Northern Illinois just south of the Wisconsin state line and when the property owner died the railroad died also.

    • @TheSteamChannel
      @TheSteamChannel  Před 8 lety

      +davidgabriel211 These locomotives are one off, custom builds which are extremely expensive. There is not an online store where they can just be ordered. Contracting out a similar locomotive to the one in this video would probably run upward of $25,000-$30,000 to have a professional machinist build the engine ready to run with a lead time of at least a full year (most likely longer).

    • @TheSteamChannel
      @TheSteamChannel  Před 8 lety

      +zackary ampuero Little Engines sells castings for several types of locomotives and does limited machine work for an additional cost. Allen Models also offers several locomotive kits. Finding a machinist you trust to complete the kits is a matter of personal taste.

  • @saberstash3844
    @saberstash3844 Před 7 lety

    I hope to get myself a live steam locomotive after I get out of High School. Hoping to get something that's medium-sized, easy to run and maintain, and pulls at least respectably well. Any ideas? I'm not very handy and I don't have that much money so building one myself from scratch or a kit unfortunately isn't an option.

    • @Qkumber
      @Qkumber Před 7 lety

      depending on what gauge youre looking to model in, there is a 5 inch gauge Australian design called a 'Blowfly'. Its a simple yet powerful tank engine, not too big or expensive (only about 4 grand in material costs if you buy all the parts off the shelf) yet still powerful enough to pull over a ton behind it.
      I have seen them scaled up for 7 1/4 inch track, depends what gauge you have access to.

    • @harryrobinson2901
      @harryrobinson2901 Před 5 lety

      It’s always better to build a smaller engine in a larger gauge, than a bigger engine in a smaller gauge. What you build is up to you, but if you are a beginner I’d recommend building something without internal valve gear.

      Done via Google Maps, (& their satellite overviews / street views), to find it.
      As I am half a world away from there, (in the southern hemisphere), in New Zealand.
      I am wondering why no-one ELSE could easily find it ?
