My husbands Grand dad was the engineer of the 4501 in the 70s, I've got lots of still pics of her. But no viedo. About 2 years ago we went to the TVRM to see her I got a pic of my hubby sitting in the engineer seat where he saw his granddad sit many years ago.

4501 comes back in service at the end of this year since the TVR signed another contract with a steam program. 630 returns to steam in the Spring, 4501 should hopefully be back by this fall for her 100th, and 610 should be back in 2012 for her 60th.

@288jh You are partially correct. #610 is a USATC engine, but is not a pure S160. She has several features that the standard S160 does not, and #610 was classified as a S160A, or simply, Class A.

@FreeFallin1976 She has to have a Complete Over haul, An Entirely new firebox, The Wheels have to have new tires,And of course all the Boiler work as well.

@napa15c No... 610 and 630 Are Not Sisters. 610 is a USATC S160 class 2-8-0, and 630 is a Southern Railway KS-1 Class 2-8-0

Wow, when you were here, did you have any idea that the steam program was going to end at the end of 1994? Now the 4501 is coming back.

@IraDeathViper There are only two engines that are in this video. The Southern 4501 in green, and N&W 1218 stripped down.

The best thing about this video is the tool they're using to line up the holes in the rods for the pins. What do you suppose they use to sweep the floors?

Yes, The broom comes in handy for many jobs around the shop. Did you see the toothbrush on the floor? Thats what they use to clean the floor with!!!
