[brenthoser99]

[Strasburg1991]

hopefully october 2010 or march of 2011

[DoctorLinst]

Too bad I don't hear any whistles

[Strasburg1991]

nope not yet hopefully a year or two she'll be back on the rails

[gaycowboy31]

I just rode two in Russia in June one an American design but had Soviet builder plates on it the oter looked like a former German engine presumably a Soviet war trophy we also rode a 4-8-4 that looked alot like the old L&N streamlined engines as big as 844 but with a stramline sloped front and smoke lifters blue and red in color ..we have one of these Frisco decapods here in Dallas Tx but dead probilly never to run again

[garywayne1966]

Nice to see a Russian decapod in full action. Wish sister 1632, located in Belton, MO was operable just like 1630. At least 1632 is back on its home rails again, even if it doesn't run.

[andywatson55]

It was once built for the Russians but their revolution kept on US soil

[rvz77]

wheres the f'n whistle???

[barnellyo]

This engine is like really famous. I've seen it on numorious videos.

[Frankentaru]

When starting an Engineer must sound the bell on any locomotive, steam or diesel. Also when approaching a station or leaving same.

In a situation like that at the IRM platform, where people are cvrawling around everywhere I'd leave mine on until the train had cleared the diesel shop.

I don't remember what the rule is at IRM for the bell, I am far away from them now, but I would assume they follow GCoR.

[martinward1991]

[lexusnut]

Good question. I think to make people aware train is arriving. make way.

[martinward1991]

oh ok kinda self explanitry

[gaycowboy31]

i just came back from Russia rideing steam over there we had a few 2-10-0 engines pulling us one was patterned after the American design the other was I assume a former German engine probilly a Soviet war trophy I also saw a 2-10-0 last year on display at the Vladavostok depot that was from the US

[sergeits7]

Прикольно :-)

[macheath2K]

i think it's a "Texas"

[donaldengine9]

No, it's a Decapod

[UnionPacific7004]

That be ol' 1630, he'll be hoping to run in 2008 once those wheels and bearings on her 5th drive set are fixed up.

[N444HM]

that looked like a Mikado, but it was a 2-10-0

[tbonez1965]

what whistle does this engine have?

[stevelerro]

bells and whistles, but i heard no whistles

[lexusnut]

Good point. Whistles were before i started taping.

[overdrivetothemax]
