That was just too cool even down to putting water in it.The baggage car was a sharp looking car.I hope you show it again after your repairs.thanks for shareing
Any chance of more footage of this very awesome setup? Would love to see more of it! These are skills I wish I had, as that locomotive looks very scale, as well as the cars!
Good thing you don't run that in New Jersey. The dumb state would make you get a boilers license and then you would have the steam loco boiler certified every 2 years. NJ, the not so fun state.
is that 11/2 scale runing on 71/2'' track if so , come by and run on are club track in molalla,oregon, you can see are track on you tube,'''' molalla train park'' later bob
HOW about a full sized double arm lower quadrant semaphore for the side of the house just beyond the water tank? Aside from that small oversight, fantatstic.
Nice work!!!!! Love the steam in the snow part at the end!!!!!!! Also love the sounds of a minature steam locomotive on a minature railway, blow the whistle as often as you can..... If the neighbours dont like it, move next door to me mate!!!!!
Hey; Can I come over? That train is beautiful! Whistle has a great sound and the loco has some great stack talk.

@maz323se He's rebuilt it in recent years, so it looks even better now. I'm planning on getting some better footage if I ever go back to visit home.

Did you have to get permission to build this track around your house in case neighbours complained about noise etc.
I think people here in the UK would complain unless it was in the rural backlands! Nice footage!
