@bebuks A decapod is not another name for a ten wheeler. A decapod is a 2-10-0 refering to its 10 driving wheels. A ten wheeler refers to a 4-6-0 because there are a total of ten wheels on the engine. However that does not mean that every engine that has ten wheels is a ten wheeler. A 2-8-0 is a Consolidation, a 2-6-2 is a Prairie and so on.
I hate music on vids like this, but yours is the exception...the music was perfect, but would it be possible for you to post another vid like this without music so that we can hear the music of the loco's huffin and puffin?
@gotya102 Aye, thats true. but wha' would ye think abou' running a 55 car freight train headed by two SD-50s? that would be what i'd do if i knew i was a-goin' to join one of those clubs.
I was there when some of these shots were taken....you can see my dad at 3:07...I use to be a member here....I had a great time there, I hope I ca get back in sometime soon
Thanks ILS for the nice video. I visited the Club and found the members to be very accommdating . Keep up the good work and great to see kids involved.
My live steam club is cool, almost all the people are nice, and most of them let you run their trains, we have nice club equipment, I've run 3 out of the four engines, and if you make a mistake they will just say try to do this next time and leave you alone, I love my live steam club.
listen guys, I need help. I am trying to find history on a steam engine, ICRR #2036, Ten Wheeler, circa 1925. Did such a loco actually exist? Or have I perhaps got the wrong rail company?
A unique feature of this loco was that it was equiped with "back-to-front" baker valve gear.
My uncle used to be a member their till you all just kinda were starting to be mean he always used to have his locomotive their too but he took it back when i was their with him.
Thanks for clearing that up !
How can I, a member of the Illiana garden railway society, get a chance to visit with you fine folks ?

tell me if i'm wrong, but the loco on the other track seems to be an EMD F9, and the one that the cameras on seems to be an SD40-2 or GP38-2.

Fireheart528 1 year ago
@Fireheart528 would be ok...steam engines would be best. A couple 10 wheelers to be exact.

@DirektorHockaday when you say the term "ten-wheeler", are you referring to a 4-6-0 or do you mean something like a PRR J1 2-10-4?
Fireheart528 1 year ago
@Fireheart528 10 wheeler refers to any steam locomotive that has 10 total wheels. such as a 2-8-0 or 4-6-0 or 0-10-0 etc.
DirektorHockaday 1 year ago
@DirektorHockaday a couple PRR J1 2-10-4s on a 100 car train would make a nice sight.
Fireheart528 1 year ago
@DirektorHockaday The 2-8-0 is known as a 'Consolidation', and the 4-6-0 is known as a 'Ten-Wheeler'. Idk what the 0-10-0 is called.
