    Im absolutely blown away, this is easily one of my favorite videos ever now. No.18 looks so at home on the D&S it looks like its still the late 20's in some shots. I hope she can run on the C&T soon as well. Thank you so much for this video.

    She is a REAL princess (a movie star). Great scenery, excellent photography. The D&S has a real money maker there. It'll be interesting to see the 493 when she is complete. I hope the 18 comes back to visit often.

    Finally, an operating 10 wheeler in steam. We're waiting forever for the RGS 20 to come back on line. Quartering sounds good; even cylinder chuffs. I don't think that mighty whistle came with the 18. I remember seeing the 18 in a park in Independence as early as 1962. With this cool weather, I wonder if they heat the bilge oil they use in this engine. Yes, great video coverage.

      Huckleberry RR No 2 (152) and East Tennessee & Western North Carolina RR No 12 are both 4-6-0s on 3-foot gauge and have been running in tourist service longer than No 18 has been rebuilt. The only real difference between No 2 and No 12 is one inch of driver diameter and about one year between being built, No 2 in 1919 and No 12 in 1920.

    Reportedly this was to familiarize D&S crews with oil-firing, which they are transitioning to, to reduce risk of further trackside fires. Now to tell them that a leaner (less oil/ more air) fire would be hotter, generating more steam, less pollution. Learning is on a curve.

    Based on recent events and the public beginning to dislike the railroad, it would most likely result in the railroad replacing their locomotives fuel from coal to oil. Also, they would purchase new diesel locomotives. All these things will ruin the authenticity and historical value of the railroad.
