The Somehow & Somewhere (So & So) Railroad, Outlands Branch, Video No. 1
This is the first video of the So. & So. R.R. in SF Bay Area, California. It is a garden railway, a folded crossover dogbone loop of about 230 feet, or roughly a scale mile of track. It uses "G scale" rolling stock and track, about 1/2" to the foot, or 1/24th (varies slightly from car to car). It uses simple variable DC electricity to the track, 0 - 24 VDC. This has taken me about 2 years to build so far in my copious spare time, including the garden (the yard used to be a dry patch of mostly dead lawn). The garden uses mostly native and mostly drought-tolerant flowers, so water requirements are modest at most. The whole shebang is under construction still, so more to come.

One of several beautiful waterfalls in Big Basin Redwoods, Berry Creek Falls is 65 feet high and flows year round in a grove of ancient redwoods. The hike is 11 miles round trip, and is one of the best hikes in Central California. Big Basin Redwoods is California's oldest state park, and covers several square miles of ancient redwood forests. It is located about 20 miles north of Santa Cruz, an...

Lookin' good.
That was odd that the front drivers slipped and not the back ones since I thought the steam went through the back cylinders first?
Does anyone know the whistle #4 has on it?
Its dumb
Very 👍 nice.
Too fast...
Bruce, its too fast and the curves have no 'leading or lead out. Sorry....
Good vídeo...it is great......
I remember watching this with my mom as she was crying, she went to cal state east bay for college and saw that building...
Very unique locomotives mallets are, wondering how it feels to ride one wondering makes you feel you are traveling very far
When A Peckett Has Sex With a Big Boy
Honestly I wish we would have seen more Tank Engines here in the states. I love the way they look and a Tank thats also an articulate is just icing on the cake!
My uncles, Bert and Walt Witham ran the no.s 12 and 16 mallets for Crown Zellerbach out of Cathlamet, wash. until they were cut up in 1960. They both received the Baldwin builders plates at their retirement.
Looks just like the Baldwin Mallets that my Dad and uncles ran for Crown Zellerbach at Cathlamet, Washington
My Dad and all my uncles operated these type of locomotives for Crown Zellerbach out of Cathlamet, Wash.
Rode on this '4-Spot' many times in the 30's and 40's, when it was a working engine for Clover Valley Lumber Company. It hauled the logs from the Plumas NF to the Loyalton Mill, six days a week...........see the story in "The Camps of Clover Valley".
Nice whistle toot
Clover the tank engine!😀
Wow!!! That's gotta be one fantastic ride!!!! :-D
Is this locomotive a Coal or Oil Burner?
OIl - no coal in the Far West
Belle machine !
read your summary of the clip, and well..,DUH!, a logger with 40" or so drivers doth not a J-3a make. soon as I get over my distaste for these overgrown abacus that are suddenly populating the planet, I will look up your raidio telephone address and do some peruseing
Wait, what?
ah well, keep her going and keep giveing all the environuts palpitations. good looking setup., any ideas where to look for info on your engine?, looks like she'd make for a cool drawing, I like to get all I can so I get it right
thanks Bruce .
bruce from where does the rail originates? I m an indian.
Hello, Dinesh - this railroad is in California, USA - near Fremont, California.
Beautifully done and well landscaped. You have something to be proud of here.
Thanks!
thank you!

Superb video, Bruce. Thanks for doing such a great job on it and for sharing it...
You are welcome Leland, and thanks for the nice comment!
This is a 2-6-2T Engine ... it is NOT a Mallet ...
Well, it's a 2-6-6-2T. How is it not a Mallet?
It uses both high and low pressure cylinders, IIRC...that is a hallmark of the Mallet design.
You can even see that the cylinder design is different front and back.
I think you need to watch more than the opening minute of the video ;-)
I stand Corrected on this Video...The one i saw had this video as the 2nd part.... a 2-6-2-t, was the first part, and the mallet was the 2nd part.....
Great job love the 2662 T . Bachman makes a great g gauge model of this engine
Thanks, id1972taxi - I've seen the Bachmann, it's a slightly different prototype.
Neat engine, great video!
Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoy it :-)
Classy piece of kit.Would be a 'sell out' in the U.K. Got any export models? Very impressed.
One of these sold on eBay (USA) recently. It is G gauge by Bachmann and has been out of production for a number of years. At first when I saw it on eBay I thought it was an English locomotive because it is a tank engine. I guess we made a few tank engines for use in the lumber industry years ago.

Looks like the 2-6-6-2T Mallet In the Black Hills Railroad is no longer the only one of its kind in working order.
The Mallet in this video goes much faster than the one on the BHCR ( Black Hills Central Railroad). This is because the grades of the BHCR are much steeper. Good video overall though
Well, these were meant to go on grades, there logging mallets! The only reason for black hills to go slower is because they just like to go slower. Steam had way more power and tractive effort than diesels so it should have no problem with grades.
While the 6% grade does slow the train down slightly on BHC, The real reason for the speed is the line is a mining branch line and not a mainline like niles canyon was. The speed limit has historically been 15 MPH. also with blind crossings and tight curves we average about 10-12 MPH
This line actually does have a few steep grades, but the engine is strong and the trains are short.
Nice Video. Sub back if you wish.
I love 5 minutes from there and recently had the pleasure of taking the trip on the steam train. They don't always run the steam train but they also have a diesel . They let you choose which one you can ride . I had to ride the steam train . I highly recommend taking a trip through niles canyon
Wow...I remember playing this in Jazz I for Logan back in 92/93! I was the lead alto! Good job, guys!
I see that 3 people do not like this video enough to give it a thumbs down. I always wonder about people like that :-)
They must be critics to where everything must be perfect.
People who dislike good videos, such as this, don't care about anything. They're trolls. They don't enjoy the fun things of life.
For those who wonder - this engine seems to be able to operate all day long in fantrips on a single tank of oil, which is the bunker behind the cab. That would be adequate for several tens of miles before a refill is needed. However, like all steam engines, it goes through tons of water very quickly, requiring a refill of the two large saddletanks after every round trip.
How far can that thing go? Doesn't seem like they could put a whole lot of fuel into that tiny tender.
It depends on how much coal a tank engine consumes
@@theextremeanimator4721 It runs on oil, this one does, and I don't think they fill it but once a day. The water tanks need to be filled much more.
very well done video, thanks!
Thank you. Sir! I am very glad you like it :-)
Good job this movie.
Thank you, my friend. I am not at all a videographer, but I wanted a decent record of this event.
Is this engine an "Alco"?
I think it *is* an ALCO (American Locomotive Company), but I could be wrong. I'm pretty certain it's not a Baldwin.
Bruce Jensen What shape is the Builders Plate? Rectangle=ALCO, Diamond=LIMA, Circle=BALDWIN, Shield=PORTER
It's a Baldwin. Only Baldwin made logging mallets.
What's the backhoe for?
The use a backhoe for track maintenance, moving landslides, and for occasional shoving of various of rolling stock.
Oh, OK
Nice
Thanks, Tyler :-)
I didn't know any mallet tank engines still existed in the USA. Thanks for the video!

Thank you, Lilly!
Awesome!
