  • The oldest miniature steam locomotive I work with is 59 years old, it was built in 1949.

  • Neat!

  • Burnaby Central Railway is a great place to spend my second childhood. 3601 is my favourite locomotive. Normally I can make it around the track with 5 completely loaded cars without a problem. If the track is wet or rusty sometimes the engine will lose traction and spin. Sometimes due to operator error the steam pressure gets low and the engine struggles on the steeper grades. I enjoyed discovering this video with me driving my favourite engine on youtube. Come and enjoy our railroad.

  • Thanks for driving! :)

  • You did a real nice job with this. I love the live steam also.

  • Thanks.

  • After the war running started again on KMR for a further two years .J Jeffries took a new wife,and that marked the end. One more loco after 3601 was built. It is in the Lake district,n need of overhaul.

  • this ngine first ran on Kenton Miniture Railway,near Harrow late 1939 just before the war. it ran till 1942, when local residents complained about it using coal which was on ration.Engine built for Joseph Jeffries,

  • Hi NScaleTrainMan, You can buld one of your own,there are sites dedicated to building a 7.5 Gauge railway. Excellent stuff for sure.

  • you can ether make one and bye the parts for it and thats going to go alot of money or you can by one that's al ready made  and tested but it's your chose if u wish to make one or bye one if u make one u will be spending a lot of time building the bits but if u get one already made and tested its worth if because if u made one u would have pyed more for it if u didnt bye a ready made one but as i say its your chose

  • I have a question, i own a lot of land, and im wondering, where can i buy one of these, or do i have to make one?
