Pennsylvania Live Steamers 2011 Spring Meet - PART ONE

[2102FAN]

Love the Reading Pacific with coaches (;

[trainmaster844]

@2102FAN - With you at the throttle, of course! ;) Those coaches were pretty nice - pity they had to go to a museum after that...

[2102FAN]

@trainmaster844 There could always be a second outing just gotta be the right time and place haha

[2102FAN]

How about part 2?!

[Rockinrailroader765]

Well done!

I wish I could say we have this much live steam in Missoura, but Id be lying lol.That fella with the Hudson and his long string of heavyweights just wins me over.

[trainmaster844]

@Rockinrailroader765 - Thanks, Dom! :D Which Hudson & Heavyweights, though? There were two running that weekend :) 

[Rockinrailroader765]

@trainmaster844 Oh forgive me lol.I mean the one in the last scene. :)

[trainmaster844]

@Rockinrailroader765 - That's all right! :) That Hudson and cars are owned by Mr. Patrick Murphy, one of the many experienced members at the track.

[SPGP60]

[trainmaster844]

This is amazing, hon. ^.^ I never knew this little live steam railroad was so busy at times. But aside from that, it's very cool. ^^ Remind me, which engine was yours? ^^() Either way, top-notch job. ;-)

[trainmaster844]

@kkatswell56 - Thanks for your kind words :) I don't own an engine at present, but the ones I ran during the weekend were the ones at 0:43, 5:50 and 7:00 :)

awsome video chris.

[Trainmaster189]

That's very nice live steamers they've got there. I didn't even know there were some British style live steamers at 0:38 and 0:43!

[nkproad777]

Cool! Hey where is this place? Might pay them a visit!

[MrRailroadrunner]

Sweet! It seems also I have seen some of the locos at trainfest 09.

[trainmaster844]

@MrRailroadrunner - I'm not entirely sure... the engines at TF2009 were 7 1/2 in. gauge, while these are 7 1/4 in. gauge...

[MrRailroadrunner]

@trainmaster844 Actual if you looked on the banner on the tent in the middle of the 7 1/2. It said as well I am fairly sure 7 1/4 as well. I think I recognized the southern.

[modeltrainman12345]

@trainmaster844 I think it's both because I see dual gauge track.

[trainguy111]

Cool!!!

[tencents6]

Question.

Let's say one of these trains derailed.

Would the people running the railway need a crane, or can they simply lift it with their hands?

[Msts196]

@tencents6 Usually with the cars you can pick them up by hand, the locos only need a basic lever to lift them up.
