3776 locomotive in progress working in the roundhouse on the northerns

[residentevil742]

what road are you gonna paint it for by the drivers it looks ATSF

[petro062]

@residentevil742 It is a Santa Fe.

[Locomotive112]

Mass is scaled down by is cube, so .25 x .25 x .25 x (the prototype horspower) = "your 1/4 scale horse power".

Any new progress?

How strong is the engine at 2:10? 30hp?

[petro062]

@KenMacMillan We don't know. All we know is that it's 1/4 scale. SHOULD be 1/8 the power. We are exited to get it running and see what it will do. Should pull 11 cars.

@petro062 Has Mike fired it up yet? I talk with him in October and he said he might fire it up by Christmas. Love the scale of this engine.

[petro062]

@ksman19532009ify No it has been too cold to work in the shop. And I think he it Finishing a cattle car for someone. I haven't talked to him for a week.

[lhemeon]

A labor of love,that's for sure

[arrowguy173]

Outstanding job so far! They look very much to scale.

[Rtchugg]

WOW!!!! WHAT A MASTER PIECE!!!! Whoever did that is an awesome man!!!

[petro062]

@Rtchugg So far about 10 people have contributed their skills to this. It was started in 98 I think.

[pwalpar]

awesome, I can see the great amount of work youve put into thid project

[petro062]

@pwalpar Many times I say to Mike "What the hell are we building?"

[bubba2781]

Great job guys! That's a hobby that will keep you going for years. Do you have anywhere to run it once it is finished? You should teach some younger guys how to do this kind of work - it is becoming a lost art.

[WoelkerVideo]

Very interesting.

Excellent video.

[rayman4449]

That is simply AMAZING!!! The craftmanship is hard to imagine! Great video, thanks for sharing!

[1019drummer]

I have never seen anything like this,truly amazing.

[biggdaddy2001]

that thing is a mini monster wow must be worth the same amount as ur mortgage lol

[petro062]

No It's worth twice as much as my house maybe 3 times. Yes it's a monster. The only northern made of this gauge. Most people make 0-4-0s There is 2 Hudsons running from Symore Johnson.

[metraF40PH163]

Wow some amazing stuff! I like that one huge steamer. You guys must be very talented to be able to work with live steam. I am still learning!

[Engineer5344]

where did that 3 inch northern come from at 1:09

[petro062]

@Engineer5344 We built it from the original blueprint from 1942.
