[chris40539]

[CGiordano464]

@northernpacificsteam r they propane ?

[northernpacificsteam]

Oil fired.

[trainmaster4884]

how did you design this train?

[edwardianeccentric]

Have you got design drawings for the whistle, and what pressure was it working at?

[norfolkdash9]

We might go on a trip to Yellowstone!! Maybe I will see you!!

[owensri2]

Just curious, but are the signals activated just as the real ones are, by track circuits, or is there something else that triggers them manually?

[brewbob47]

Can't wait to go to Train Mountain. My son lives in Portland, but a long trip with 3 little girls. Fantastic engines, sir!

[northernpacificsteam]

It took two and a half years from start to finish to complete the Triplex and about the same for the Yellowstone. This was filmed at Train Mountain RR in southern Oregon. The triplex is doing all the work here and the Yellowstone is dead because we were taking to get weighed in. It weighed in at 1835 lb with out water.

Where's this at? IR's soooo cool!

[microbusss]

hehe looks like crossing signals are full scale lol & its --.- for RRX bozo lol

[thaddeusthudpucker]

I know that guy who built the Triplex and the Yellowstone...He builds them from scratch in his garage!!!

[northernpacificsteam]

Yes thats right. The Yellowstone is mine.

[petro062]

what an engine. What more can I say.WE are building a 1/4 scale northern 3776 another masterpeice like yours. Sombodys got to do it or it won't get done.We are all getting old. Great job. Petro

[ptcfan]

Very nice! What type of whistle is on the Northern Pacific?

[ghostshot1004]

how did u build that a triplex and is that the articulated one

[jimmyp42002]

Over many years (I know how THAT is), Triplex would have to be articulated or it wouldn't be able to go around corners!
