  • Why do you have Thomas

  • @robyn051 - Not EVERY blue British steam locomotive is a "Thomas the Tank Engine"!  ;) This one WASN'T.

  • Who is the manufacturer of the blue English type locomotive?

  • @Amtrak1194 - Not certain, wasn't one of mine (I owned the 3-cylinder Shay pulling the log train, & the "Ruby" 2-4-2 pulling a short train of Bachmann passenger cars). I'm going to guess either Accucraft or Roundhouse - maybe someone who recognizes it might chime in. ;)

  • what are those weird steam locos i saw on her where the pistons are going up and down and to rod and not side to side like a regular steam engine called? 0:50-1:05 that engine?

  • That's my Accucraft 3-cylinder Shay; the prototype was Mich-Cal Lumber Co. #5 (scrapped in the 1950's). Shays were commonly used in logging or mining operations; the vertical cylinders (2 or 3) turn a crankshaft that drives the wheels on the 4-wheel trucks via a series of slip & universal joints & bevel gears. This permitted these locos to operate on rough, temporary track & tight curves. The gearing also enabled them to climb steep grades (up to 10% or a bit more) with heavy loads.

  • Oh because it looked like Thomas sorry

  • At least it is not using electricity! :D I could use it in a power outage! So that means:

    "Hey Matt, what are you doing in the dark?"

    "I'm playin with my train!"

  • Is that Geep at 8:30 for real or an MTH electric?

  • where is a website to buy a steamer does anyone know

  • Wait so these locos are actually powered by live steam!?
