I'm trying to 3D model the Polar Express right now, this video is a goldmine for all those nooks and crannies that I can't get a good view of in the film. Thank yall so much, this is awesome

What about the stink : oil will be phased out. As long as their is an Iron industry their will have to be coal - fact of life . But see the idea. The GWR seemed to be successful but what about the inefficiency. As a Stoker I would welcome it, and cook my eggs and bacon on a Primus. Look forward to how things work out.

I for one am an Optimist and believe this is going to happen. Thank You to Everyone who is working to make this a Reality.

I am finishing up my 20th year of magnetic particle testing, both wet and dry. But at 76 I’m finishing up about 73 years of loving steam engines. I saw and fell in love with them when, at age 3, I saw one on the Georgia Railroad just outside the Pullman repair plant in Atlanta

my own experience with riding on steam train is at kings island. those trains are propane powered. also oil comes less labor cost because you do not need a fire man to load the fire box. Modern electronics can regulate the air/fuel mixture. also it can operate like carburetor which more draft more fuel into the fire box.

It’s the polar express locomotive

I like that! "....Worked on steam locomotives 🚂 before....who will be the guys like us who will crawl up under/in the frame to pull the plugs" (for boiler washouts, gotta think about preventing events like Gettysburg)

Outstanding presentation, Shane!

I wonder, if they are bringing an engine into this life, maybe they should make it modern with computers and any other tec needed. Build it for the long game. Just saying.

Absolutely possible. Look at the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust in the UK, who built 60163 Tornado. It took them 20 years, starting in the 1990s, but Tornado came into service in 2008 and has become a tremendous record breaking success (100mph certification achieved in 2017). The loco has also appeared in TV programmes and in feature films. It looks like your project has a lot of in-house knowledge and access to drawings etc. Looking forward to seeing your new locomotive in active service. The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust in now building its second new steam locomotive (A Gresley P2 number 2007) and has a third in the planning stages.

Man i wish it was the S1 but i get the T1

The ffestiniog tried oil in the 1970's or 80's (cant remember which) for a short period when oil was cheaper than coal, they also did an oil conversion as an experiment for the Darjeeling, but as soon as the price of coal came back down they switched back

how much money do they expect to spend on this thing ? all the new stays and braces etc , and the WORK to install them is a long term project. and just WHO is the museum contracting to do the work.?

workin on a steamlo comotive 4k

This is confusing. Do you, or do you not have the full, original blueprints? Are you going to build the same thing that they built, or will it be full of interpretations?

Man, I would love to ride in the cab! How were you able to manage a ride in there??? It looks incredible! Easily one of the nicest interiors for a steam engine I've seen!

as an oil burner operator in europe (1244 141r) we struggle to find enough bunker oil. however our colleuges in France have discovered that a byproduct from paper manufacturing (name escapes me) has very simmilar properties to bunker oil (burn rate and temperature) and the benefit of being clean burning. we will be trialing ti next year ouselves

Do you have to hydrostatically check the boiler?

BF and AF = Before Ford and After Ford....

Do a boiler feed pump next

@ 3:15 you say you're doing a frame up restoration on that car... what are the cost projections for such an undertaking of a full frame up restoration in terms of total cost? I honestly have no idea what it cost to buy an old rail car and do a full frame up total no bars restoration

No. Either use coal or don't use them.

Whose idea was to record someone on call for an audio mix is an absolute idiot. Why didn’t this dude just record himself in cakewalk or distro kid and send you the file over what it sounds so much better.

Wht build a new T1 at all? If anything, they shouldn't gone with the J1 texas instead

Is PM 1225 the locomotive that was on display at the Michigan State Fairgrounds in Detroit? It’s been many years since I last saw it and my memory isn’t that good these days.

This is exactly the kind of info that needs to be brought to the public, right from the horses mouths, without being dumbed down, without insulting the intelligence of the people you need to target for funding. Fans want to know as much as they can about their interests. It helps in the understanding of where, how, and why, time, effort and money needs to be spent to accomplish the goal. The only info I heard in the past regarding delays was that "the crown sheet was too thin". Well, that just sounds like a vague excuse to a novice, not knowing what is involved with that particular problem. Now I understand that these things are big problems that need uncountable efforts by very experienced people to overcome. This is a good example of how transparency is a good approach. Politicians should take note.

take another 6 yrs to build 1 locomotive?

Thanks so much

I seriously doubt there is any foundry in the US that could cast a one piece frame, as were original

The Swiss have developed a light oil burner (diesel) for steam engines. Unlike the swirling burner for heavy oil the diesel burner looks like a huge gas cook top with four large burners in a square pattern with a small light up burner in the middle. The Puffing Billy Railway in Victoria Australia has converted one of their 2-6-2 tank engines 14A to this new Swiss system and it's coupled with a Lemphor exhaust previously fitted to a coal burning loco 6A. They had 14A fitted because they run through a very dry forest and every train had to be followed by a water cart train to put out any spot fires on dry days. The system fitted to 14A is not permanent and the loco can be converted back to being a coal burner if the railway so desires. Even when working hard up 1 in 30 grades there's no black smoke at all from 14A just a slight haze from the chimney. For the PBR it made good sense for they also have diesel locos which haul trains on total fire ban days so there was no need to find a new supplier for oil. Also there's no cost that there is in getting rid of the coal ash. Diesel is very uniform in quality unlike coal which can vary wildly from high grade steaming coal to very low grades of coal.

Sounds great! What type of lubricator is that?

idk but i want to see a revival of the ACE3000 project from the 80s man the ACE3000 would have been incredible

The amount of coal preserved engines use isn't great surely if they all got together and bought in bulk and had a central depot where they could draw their fuel. It would be more cost effective. The engines that run on the main line there is more of a case for oil fired .

If I might though, we have more coal then Oil, so how much longer would it last, I know mines are closing and its not the best for the environment and its a hard way of life and dangerous for those that have to mine it but wont we run out of oil before coal? Unless we use non petrolem oils, like plant or veggie oils? I belive they do run an engine in the grand canyon off veggie oil? I am listening a bit though to experts and leaders here, its important for the future of living history

White pass guy!

i feel like were well past can, 5550's too far in to just be stopped now!

The Coalition for Sustainable Steam in the US has been researching torrefied biomass. (Basically heating giant wood pellets into something like grill charcoal.) Their test results have been encouraging. You fire it similar to coal, but it's basically burning waste wood products.

I still wish for a Hudson to be re- created

my son & i were in that building on a sunday & we were alone got a good look at everything , hope can get this finally done

Yesterday I stood in front of Mallard at the UK national railway museum and thought I dare anyone to beat that, now I have found your site In some ways I hope you do!

donate at every payday

i want that shirt !!!

Having spent years as a teenager polishing brass and feeding copious amounts of coal, with a love of steam trains this is great to see! Heritage railways in the uk taking this all so seriously, so strategically, incredibly forward thinking. Very best of luck with the project!

Wow, it's amazing how this net zero - Co2 lie / psych-op is used to hijack and distort people's perception of reality and how people twist themselves inside out to conform to this nonsense. Everything in moderation, open up a welsh coal mine to supply the heritage railways in the Uk.

As an avid railroad fan and ethusiast and current history student, the steam locomotive has an appeal that is unmatched by most anything the human race has developed. The many different American railroads that not represented through the steam preservation era is saddening. The PRR specifically really had the draw from many of their classes of steam engines and the most iconic outside of the T1 is the K4. Seeing that the work on 1361 is continuing is encouraging that there is still a demand for the presence and preservation of the railroad. Recent examples of this include N&W 611, the Big Boy 4014, WMSR (ex. C&O) 1309, CP 2816, PRR 5550 (built from scratch), the rebuild of PM 1225, and now PRR 1361. To the hard working people of FMW, keep up the good work and cant wait to see that engine run in the future!

How were able to ride in the cab???? I'd love to give it a try someday!!!! Great video!

Clearly these people have not noticed crude oil is running out WW1 & WW2 used HUGE amounts ( France alone used 300 millions litres of fuel a month 😲😲 ) our planet still has huge amounts of coal use that instead!!!!
