Great what camera did you use seemed hell of a good Telephoto.

I use a Sony Digital 8 Handycam. It has a 20x optical zoom, and yes it really works well.

Yeah. This summer, I got to go in the cab of that Mikado and blow the whistle.  Makes me cry that somone would be sick enough to get rid of them. Even an oil burning steam engine is less harmfull to the enviorment than a deisel.

Nice, gotta love that whistle. I can't believe that they quite steam. They should be put in jail for such a thing.

@3254man But now, they brought that Mikado back. People have brought a lot of steam engines back. And they now also make miniature live steam engines. They're bringing it all back. :)

@Strasburg1991 Yeah. They should also bring 4960's 2006 whistle back.

[Dinosorable]

@TheFowlyetti Yeah. Imagine that engine as a ghost train.

[Dinosorable]

The 4960's whistle is perfect!

[Dinosorable]

@SLSF1522 At least there's still a lot of steam engines today that are taken care of to last for a long time. And at least they also make miniature steam trains today too. That brings it all back.

[Strasburg1991]

should they doublehead again

[stickdog100]

The GCR is running steam again. They converted the engines to run on waste oil.

Scary sounding whistle
