Accucraft Baldwin 4-4-0 Live Steam Locomotive

This is a condensed video of what it takes to run a live steam locomotive. This is an Accucraft Baldwin 4-4-0 replica of the Nevada County Grass Valley locomotive. The boiler takes much more water than is shown in this video. The runtime on a full tank of fuel is 30-40 minutes.

Although it has a brass bell & whistle they are not functional. It's kind of a coincidence that during one part of the video you will hear an actual train whistle off in the distance. There are some live steam models that have working whistles.

Cool thanks I want one of these but I wasn't sure how well it would talk my smallest curve of 8ft diameter. How do you like it with it not having a sight glass? I would want to add a goodall valve but it's risky with no sight glass.

@AkcentStryker This model has a sight glass.

What radius is your track there?

[pghhdvideo]

@AkcentStryker Those are LGB R3 curves.

Ｍｙ american 4-4-0 the same one requires warm water bath at least under25℃.Ｉｓ your loco similar?

[pghhdvideo]

I just use tap water or the same distilled water that I'm running in the boiler.

God I wish I had the room for a g scale layout

Hey nice train! :3 Just wondering what's the steam oil for?

[bcschmerker]

Well dome on the manual-control demo! Some miniature live-steam operators rig their locomotives with radio control for the throttle and reverser(/purge cocks).

How do you operate the bell and whistle on that train

This Is The Age Of The Train! Tnankyou for this great post.

[disneylandfreak98]

does it have a water pump in the tender??

[AkcentStryker]

Hmm I didn't know about that. If you could, can u post a video of the contents in the cab and how you operate it?

Thanks.

[AkcentStryker]

Really? Hmm I didn't know about that. If you could a video on the contents of the cab would be much appreciated

Thanks.
