Bel Del - Fast n' Loud 142

[soundguyjr]

Does the 142 run regular revenue freight or was this a special train...I read about a line in that part of the country were steam is sometimes use to haul regular freight on a shortline?

sounds good to me chinese or not... for every 4 chugs of the stack the main drivers make one full revolution... STEAM POWER FOR EVER

I have seen 142 move faster than that. I have seen her move 70 MPH one time. P.S love the stack talk!! :)

[DarkTower97]

i doubt 70 on the mainline, but i wouldnt doubt that it could go 70. All american mikes. Yes.

[mikes47jeep]

[DarkTower97]

yup. I wrote that comment before I found out that the engine was chinese. Still, Ya gotta love em right?

[mikes47jeep]

Yes sir, I don't care where they are built, steam has such a personality

Those huge smoking hissing oily machines almost seem alive

[DarkTower97]
