Wisconsin Steam Stories DVD Preview

You will enjoy this DVD from Yard Goat Images, with four unique stories featuring steam locomotives performing in Wisconsin:

Grand Scale Steam Railways Of Wisconsin - "Grand Scale" describes a miniature railway large enough for the operator to ride inside the locomotive. Our feature takes you to three of the state's Grand Scale railways: the Riverside & Great Northern, the Milwaukee Zoo, and the Whiskey River. The locomotives are small, but they work and sound like their big brothers. We also explore the history of building Grand Scale equipment in Wisconsin by yesterday's Sandley Works and today's Merrick Light Railway Equipment Works.

261 In Wisconsin - Our program covers several trips in different years made by Milwaukee Road 261, focusing primarily on round trips between Milwaukee and New Lisbon. This was home territory for the big Northern when it was still in service for the Milwaukee Road! Includes both HD and analog footage.

The Lumberjack Special - The Laona & Northern carries passengers from its hometown to the Camp 5 Logging Museum. Built in 1916 by Vulcan, 2-6-2 number 4 puts on a great show! We cover a day with the locomotive, beginning with the engine house crew starting the fire, greasing, washing, operating out on the line (including a cab ride), then back into the barn for the night.




Soo Line 1003 Photo Freight - 1003 is a 2-8-2 Mikado type locomotive, built in 1913 by the American Locomotive Company. Our two-day photo charter was spectacular! We had a glorious October weekend; the images of 1003 and her train are stunning as the special worked its way between Hartford and Fairwater on the Wisconsin & Southern. Lots of runbys!

Running time approximately 110 minutes
Conveniently organized by chapters

Congrats on being #261!

Thanks for your comment on the behind the scenes shots. The lighting inside the engine house was great and the footage of the crew at work is interesting to see. The DVD obviously has much more than this preview. I also love #4 - it's a classic, well proportioned steam locomotive.

Thanks for your comment regarding the Grand Scale Steam segment of our new program. I agree, all three operations are worth seeing in person. Ken & Darrell are both great guys and experts in what they do.

Love the shot of 261 blasting through Lyndon Station. I chased some of those 2008 trips (getting some R&GN shots in the Dells along the way). Will have to pick up this DVD!

Nice!

I'm the 261th viewer! :D

On a side note,

I ove the behind the scenes shots of the #4 and that alone is worth the DVD.

Looks like a great video! My three favorite park train locations in Wisconsin. Love the #98 at R&GN. Use to run her at Delton Schrock's place when she was in Wakarusa, IN. I see you have Ken Ristow on #1916 at the zoo. And it's always fun to visit Lee's place. Darrell has done a super job there.
