Flagg Coal #75: A Short History

[Dampfuhrer]

Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?

[kickflip1234100]

lionel should make a model of it!

[jlebaron1]

nice video! Great little steamer, saw Viscose 6 at Arcade NY and really enjoyed it, recorded a tribute song for it! Hoping to see this little steamer someday too, thanks for preserving and restoring it! Hmm, I think Flagg Coal 75 certainly deserves a tribute song too!

Fine job getting this 0-4-0T back into service. BTW, which manufacturer and serial number?

[dragonpullman]

Hopefully, Strasburg will do this with Reading 1187 at some point.

I fell in love with that little machine when it was with us at the Naugy. I was on coal duty and brought buckets to the cab in order to refill the coal bays. I hope the Gramlings decide to bring it back next year. It was a thrill to work on a live steam engine and maybe in the future we can run it with #103 ans 1246. Both need to be restored first.

Great Video - appreciated the little history lesson. We saw the Flag Coal #75 last weekend when it came to CT. What a great outing that was for our family!

[camaroracer454]

Thats awesome....Probably a stupid question but when the engine is brought to all the different tourist operations, they use the tourist's railroad's cars right?

[notalott]

You guys are great!

[205bamageek]

This is a great video. Enjoyed meeting you guys and having y'all down at the Heart of Dixie Railroad museum recently. Thanks for comming down!

[Weiberts]

I have been in a cab ride on this engine. I need to upload a video of it!

[stagmie]

Just rode behind this great little 0-4-0T at The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera, AL. What a beautiful steamer! A great restoration indeed. Thanks for what you've done with it..

[Enginer12]

I love that little engine, that is one huge excursion car!

[awolfpack343]

@Enginer12 who couldnt love that little engine? it would be pretty cool if lionel makes a model of this engine

[jmidd555]

Outstanding video!! Thanks for sharing it with us. This train is in Lebanon, OH for the next 3 weekends. I cannot wait to ride it:)

[quadking100]

Very nicely done. Very interesting. Thanks very much for making and posting! :D

[MakeChooChooGoNow]

Professionally done, a true promo video if there ever was one.

Thomas also says: "Special Thanks to Professor Phoamer too!"

[Engineer5344]

where is professor phoamer these days. he hasn't been teachin class lately? why is that?

[Engineer5344]

she's got a tiny headlight, but it works, and thats all that counts

[attlevi]

Not often that we get to see history come to life.Thanks for sharing. I've never see a ive steam engine. Now there is hope.

[MakeChooChooGoNow]

Outstanding Thomas, you've really outdone yourself on this one.

[Engineer5344]

nice one, she looks great

[JoMiFu]

Excellent work! Much better than your average "railfan video"
