YES...trains AND horticulture. I love trains (prototype and model) and I have a hort degree from Ohio State. Love your videos and did miss you through the summer...being disabled now and mostly just being able to watch videos I look forward to all videos y'all put out! I will definitely go check out your 3B Farms channel. Thanks, Gary

Another video in the series !! Still a little shorter than I would like but LIFE . What can I say !!

Looking Great Stew !!!

Good to see another video coming out. Thanks for sharing. And good luck finding the short in you electrical feed. Those are a pain to find. Probably better to just replace it.

So cool. Looks just like the real life construction in progress. Great job, Mr Mark. 😎👍🏼

Cool. It’s looking good. Congrats reaching the 1K plus subscribers, Mark.

Pretty cool build, Mark. I agree about saves time when windows/ doors are already pre made. Where do you get them and do they have in n scale too?

Finally back to building !!! WOOO HOOO !! It may be slow to start with until I get more time. But I am gonna put up what I can each week . Come enjoy some scratch building !!!

Awesome video, Mark. Great to see you back. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍🏼

Very cool locos Mark, I love old diesels. Good to see you back and thanks for sharing.

looks like a place that you could wander around for hours.

For winter we get to watch stew structures

Durbin and Greenbriar has the Buffalo and Gauley #4 2-8-0 that they are supposed to restore soon or have started already. Anyway I worked on it, kept it running, and played on it when it was at the North Carolina Transportation Museum when I was in high school. Learned a lot about steam locomotives from some very knowledgeable volunteers there and went to work for a contractor that traveled around the country rebuilding steam engines the summer I graduated. The locomotive was the Southern 604 there, which it was only playing the part of because it is the same type as what the Southern 604 2-8-0 was, so being that the NCTM is at Southern railways main shop on the line between Washington and Atlanta they gave it that number and lettering. I actually stripped it down about a month and a half before the boiler assessment that the man I went to work for performed. The price to rebuild the locomotive was more than expected, and the museum tried to raise the money to do so, but it set torn apart for years with pieces on pallets around the shop where I left them. It was very disappointing to see it leave, but I'm looking forward to riding on it again one day when it's steaming again and plan on making the trip up there to do so when that happens. Maybe I can visit with you aswell while there.

Hi Mark, I'm glad we met and got to go through the yard. They are running trains at Cass this month the only days available are Dec. 12 and 19 everything else is sold out. Looking forward to seeing your build series continue.

Hey there, ol' buddy. Glad to see you. Been looking for a new video from you and was figuring it was coming soon. Hope you're doing well. 👍

It's good to see you back! I was wondering when you'd be back just the other day.

The beginning of my winter time videos !! Hopefully back to build videos starting with a continuance of the riverside store buildings I started last spring !!

That is awesome they have something like that so close-ish to you. My wife loves wv. It's nice to know they have a railroad club like that there.

Tjay bade is looking great. Do much work goes into it. Thanks for sharing

Excellent Video Stew really Enjoyed it keep up the great work and congratulations on reaching 1K subscribers

It needs to be done . The So. Calif. Rwy museum has a gorgeous operational U.P. EMD E8 that was restored there . 👍

I've always thought how much of the restored locomotive is new and how much old. Is the final product a replication of the original E8? Rust here and there is one thing but this looks to me like you'd need all new sheet metal side panels and maybe even struts. I cannot believe why somebody in town did not raise some cash to cover it or find an indoor resting place. Such a waste.

Hey stew my name is stewart also.

That jib is a nice kit. Im definitely going to look it up.

Bondo!

Build is looking great. Thanks for sharing. Dave

man I wish I lived closer, I'm in Pa

Looking good so far and Dang WORK always gets in the way !!!! LOL

Work is slowing down a little due to my life in the real world !!! Ill get up what I can in the next couple of weeks !!

Last year we stopped in Virginia, C&O Museum Gift shop in Clifton Forge, it has some old Locomotives that need restoration too!!! F units both A and B units almost at the automobile bridge amungst the weeds and overgrowth!!! Best of Luck on the project they are looking at for restoration!!!

Good luck hope they have a big bank account.

A nice presentation.

It's a big restoration. BUT it could be done. There are people who could do it.

Fascinating. You are a gold mine. Thank you.

Looking forward to watching the new construction and congrats on topping over the 1,000 subscriber mark! Keep it rolling forward!

2 stroke antique glos on good luk on u 🎉❤❤

Off to a great start!! The bridge in the foreground also looks like it would be a fun build. 🙂👍

*Buddy, they've got some really skilled craftsmen left in this country... Might have to move her to one of those shops. They'd strip her down to the frame, cut and shape the outer skin... Even the prime mover could be rebuilt and made operational again. In England they have recued and made operational several rusting scrap steam locomotives and brought them back to life!*

I'm glad to hear they are restoring that ol girl! I'd still take her prom! Those EMD F/E diesels are such an important part of diesel railroading history, it deserves a restoration. Seeing as there's only a handful in the wild now, it is justified. I don't care what airplane guy says!

Great job, thanks for sharing. Dave

It has stage 4 cancer ..... I'm not sure if Chemotherapy will work ... 😔

I feel that E8 is more than worth restoring. Several years ago I got to touch the nose on a UP running F unit in San Antonio, Texas. The restored F unit was coupled in lead of the restored steam Big Boy. It was an awesome experience. I say let's restore that E8! C'mon VW! For railroad history's sake to show our young ones!

Nice work. Excited for the new project.

Just found your channel, very cool! That E8 got my attention. I think there's a restored EA in the B&O Museum shop currently.

Very nice. Thanks for showing the steps of your build.

A new build . On Fridays I will post build videos . On Tuesday when I can I will post bone yard videos .!!!

The prime movers can be rebuilt as well as the other components.

Hopefully the prime mover can be rebuilt.

I engineered an E-8A on the KLS&C in the early 1990s. The number was 95. We used it to pull our Wine Country Dinner Train. There is a short video of this train on You Tube. 95 was an ex CNW unit. I do not know its road number from that time. It had also been used in Chicago on Metra. It was kind of a beast to operate between the high speed gearing and our train speed of 5 MPH. I was proud to be qualified to engineer 95. I was nearing age 40 at the time and realized when she was in her prime, I would have been a decade or two too young to have the seniority to be her engineer. Sadly in our use the #1 traction motor fried and the #2 prime mover seized a bearing. I understand she was scrapped later. Still, I am proud to have the cab time running a classic E-8A locomotive.

Interesting video sir. Good luck on the E8. Also what's the steam engine behind the E8?
