A 'rare mileage' trip to Clems on the 15 inch gauge Glenwood, South Park & Pacific Railroad. This video begins in the power house where an 'historic' Lorimer engine turns the generator that energizes the overhead wire.

What is the voltage in ac or dc and the gauge of the trolly wire?

Thats so Cool, I've always beleived if you have room for ride-on size trains, you have room for a real 1:1 feldbahn equipment, this is more proof of that!

Okay, tnx. Looked like it might have been a Oliver. Name cast in side of block was difficult to read.
-
We have done the same thing with a supply voltage of 24 volts (DC). This does not work well ! Very bad contacts on the rails. What voltage do you use ?
Bravo for your beautiful facility.

The hardest thing would be to find the rail and overhead line hardware.

With that lil white power generator thing what is it's Max RPM and Max Wattage ouput? =)

Three bells: reverse. Two bells: forward.
Engine on genset is British.
Takes a lot of property to have your awon railroad of ANY size.

I find it interesting that nearly the entire run was done while backpoling
RRSpectra 2 years ago
The uphill run is all backpoling. The initial run down to the trestle and the segment up to and just after the switch the pole is trailing.

Hey Craig, That's pretty cool. When was this filmed?
rvennerbeck 3 years ago
We filmed this a week or so ago before the wire came down for tree work. ---john.
