MTH Premier Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Yellowstone (2-8-8-4) Steam Locomotive in action. This was a PS1 locomotive that I converted to PS2. Please visit my web site (http://www.toytrains1.com) to see lots more videos of model (and real) trains in action! A NEW VIDEO OF THE YELLOWSTONE HAS BEEN SHOT IN TRUE HD 1080p! See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fz6PCYd7TA

  • it's the compromise required to have such a large locomotive on the relatively sharp turns of three rail track.

  • me gusta este video porque es de trenes y soy fanatico de los trenes jajajaj

  • @superyerfdog I don't think its a case of people hating the Big Boy, its just there is more choice in large model locomotives now. Your comment about real life Yellowstone types is not absolutely correct. The B&O version of the Yellowstone, the EM1, was just as fast as the Big Boy. The B&O used them in express freight and passenger service. The grades the EM1 was used on in W.Va and western Pennsylvania were much steeper than what the Big Boy ever saw on the Union Pacific.

  • @shnimmuc Yes, but it couldn't pull that very fast. I like the Yellowstones, but they had jobs very different from the Bigboy.

  • Why does everyone seem to hate the BigBoy nowadays? As in OMG THIS LOCOMOTIVE IS WAY COOLER CAUSE ITS LESS POPULAR. The Yellowstone could pull more, but not as fast, and it didn't have to deal with the grades the BigBoys had to deal with.

  • According to the new book The History of North American Steam, [Christopher Chant] The Yellowstone was the most powerful non-compound Locomotive ever built. It could pull 3 times the weight of a Big Boy

  • It would be awsome to have one of the three restored. But like the Big Boy it would cost thousands if not millions to get it up and running. Plus the cost of operation. Well we will have to find a new engine to replace 261...

  • This locomotive is one of my top MTH locomotives but I don't know the centipede tender is a tender that I personally don't like.

  • Wow where are all the other engiens that crwd our layoutin your othe videos

  • I'm proud to have these locomotives around, I'm from Minnesota and I can just imagine them going through the scenic North Shore!

    I guess I was born too late.

  • I like the 222 & 227
