Переглядів 693 тис.5 років тому
Riding the EAR 59 Class at Stoomgroep Turnhout. This locomotive is build by Marc Melis.
Oh WOW!!! , what a gorgeous piece of workmanship ; a lot of time , effort & money has gone into this beauty of the rails & she runs so well too ( as well as looks included ) & I feel the owner would be very proud of his efforts ; these are so similar to the Australian 60 class of the New South Wales Govt Railways or the South Australian Govt Railways 400 class Garratt loco's so please let the owner know of these if you happen to keep in contact with him as it'd be nice to see here in Australia on 1 of our many miniature railways that we have here.
These are amazing. I need to find these parks in the USA , New Zealand, UK and see them in person, this is just too cool!!!
such a cute little locomotive
Taroonga here i come
not seen much ice this year
Does anyone make or sell this particular model in HO scale. Very familiar with this Steam locomotive having grown up over there
Oh, wow! That is just magnificent; you run short of superlatives. I make my own model locomotives from brass, but in 4mm scale - have just completed a Manifold Valley loco - so know just how much work has gone into creating that beautiful engine. I''ve never seen a Garrett in action - until now. What a sight. Sir, whoever you are, I salute you as a true master craftsman. Being serious, how much does she weigh, and how do you transport so big a model?
Lovely model, but it comes out as very red on the video. Shouldn't it be a little darker & richer? Possibly verging on the maroon? Maybe it's my phone!
Beautiful model. I note he's operating on coal of some description. The actual EAR&H Garratts were in fact oil fired there being no coal available in the area. The name EAR is also incorrect for their time period and should include the H for East African Railways & Harbours. I believe the H got dropped around the times of independence of Uganda from the east African federation of Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda some time in the early 1960's. Still a formidable work putting basically two locos into one. Well done.
That is a stunning locomotive
What a great video. The footage of the coupled wheels and the valve gear was superb! Thanks for sharing this.
Baby
Thanks
You know the video's good when it has 5+ 'Most Replayed' moments throughout the timeline.
Allemachtig wat een mooie machine👍
mmmmmmm train
I need to know how much this costs. Cause i need one now lol
onky if i would have a job like this... i'm stuck making steering wheels...
WOW! That is an AMAZING, smooth- running locomotive! 😊
Ok. Now not only donald duck has been seen driving a mini-train
आईं ❤ स्टीम इंजन! राम
Amazing I used to watch this engines in Kenya,
Where is this place and location📍☝☝☝☝???
WOW! I wish we had a Garratt Locomotive at this gauge in the UK.
wow. A Garratt Loc in this Scale? Amazing. MEGA
Magnifiques et réalistes modèles réduits, malheureusement au service de promène-couillons comme on dit chez-moi. J'arrête en chemin à la 4eme minute
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
Very good video 👍👍👍
Olá sou novo no canal mais seu trabalho é tudo de bom pra todos sem os trens o mundo fica pobre susseso pelo UA-cam admiro muito seu trabalho é tudo de bom pra todos gratidão ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊Brasil 24.08.2023susseso 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤
These little trains prove how efficient railroads are, those little tiny wheels are able to pull a whole train of full grown adults with ease
I'm 80 and a life long model engineer having built 6 live steam locos in various gauges. Unfortunately the hobby is totally unrepresented in the media. I believe the hobby and the people involved would make a good series.
Absolutely magnificent.
You know, it's basically quite clear that garratt locomotives certainly were quite a sight EVER SINCE K 1 (the world's very much well-known 1st ever garratt locomotive to be constructed in 1909 for the Tasmanian Government Railway) designed by Beyer Peacock exactly 114 years ago this year despite some disadvantages that I personally just suddenly recall learning 'bout from watching another awesomely excellent well-known UA-cam video by Train of Thought not too long ago!
Keep up with the excellent work!!!
AMAZIN' ARTICULATED STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE!!!!!!
where is this? Such a beautiful railway its on
I saw this engine but it has a face in Thomas and friends it’s like the same
I seriously do wanna mention how I've personally just suddenly realized that the Garrett featured in this official video certainly happens to basically have an officialy official 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel configuration meaning that there's exactly 4 leading wheels followed by 8 drive wheels followed by 2 trailing wheels on the front tender where extra water's kept followed by 2 leading wheels followed by 8 more drive wheels followed by 4 more trailing wheels in the officially official rear! I personally just suddenly realized that this officially official Garratt locomotive certainly MUST be a specifically wonderfully great mix of a specific mountain/Berkshire type of steam-driven railway garratt locomotive with more-or-less 1/2 of the configuration bein' completely the officially well-known mountain type of configuration WHILE the other end with the officially well-known 2-8-4 set of wheels certainly happens to be a Berkshire type of wheel configuration! In other words for another awesomely excellent well-known fact, it certainly does officially well-knowingly obviously seem to me that this garratt locomotive must be a specifically wonderfully great mountaineer-berkshire due to the officially well-knowingly obviously noticable 4-8-2+2-8-4 wheel configuration! I personally just suddenly also apparently for another awesomely excellent well-known fact realized that this official Garratt locomotive certainly seems to officially run on minimum-gauge tracks meaning that it'll basically make such a specifically wonderfully great addition to the officially well-knowingly popular Arlsedale minimum-gauge railway located near Arlseburgh on the Island of Sodor near the officially well-known North Western Railway's own official Branch Line that runs from Tidmouth all the way to Arlseburgh that officially happens to be very shockingly surprisingly well-known as the Little Western branch line that's basically ran by a G W R 57OO class pannier tank engine named Duck alongside a specifically wonderfully officially well-known 14xx 0-4-2 auto-tank engine named Oliver alongside a specifically wonderfully great well-known G W R toad brake van built in the year of precisely 1924 respectfully named Toad alongside several auto coaches alongside with the occasional Caledonian Railway 812 class O-6-O steam-driven railway tender locomotives that officially built @ the same time in the year of precisely 1899 respectfully known as Donald & Douglas who actually ran away from Scotland to avoid the Scrapper's torch! Besides, it's basically quite clear to me that this garratt locomotive certainly would definitely make such a specifically wonderfully great addition to the Arlsedale minimum-gauge railway!!
In other words for another awesomely excellent well-known fact, this garratt locomotive can easily help with hauling heavy goods trains as well as passengers up the hill with no complete trouble whatsoever! I personally just suddenly came up with the officially well-knowingly clever idea of placing official brass nameplates on each side of the boiler that officially read Izzy in broad letters!
In other words, this official Garratt locomotive with more-or-less a female character for the well-known Arlsedale minimum-gauge railway located near Arlseburgh on Duck the G W R 57OO class pannier tank engine's own official Branch Line that officially happens to be very shockingly surprisingly well-known as the Little Western due to his own official complete Great Western heritage!
I personally just suddenly learned from watching very shockingly surprisingly closely on 1 of the sections of my own official DVD that's basically titled The Best of World Steam with narration by Peter Fairhead himself in the section 'bout Great Britain that garratts certainly have got the advantage of working equally perfect in either direction!
BRAVO!
I personally just suddenly learned from watching the section on Great Britain in Best of World Steam with narration by Peter Fairhead that Garratts certainly are built to be very shockingly surprisingly articulated with exactly 2 steam-driven engines that officially can easily pivot on the framework of the locomotive in order to negotiate sharp bends with ease!
Funny piece of engineering.
where are the boys oh there out back playing with trains drinking beers lol
Beautiful models all of them, the Garrett is perfect and so is the Shay,(l hope l spelled that right)
WOW! that is really,really great. Perfect craftmanship.
I don’t have adequate words to express my deepest respect and admiration for those who build and run those magnificent scale models of locomotive legends. The skills and commitment it takes to construct such machines is deserving of the highest regard and respect. All connected and involved are simply wonderful examples of the best in human skills and endeavour. Thank you so so much for the joy you bring to us all and for honouring the original designers and engine builders.
I can’t believe the size of the people in this clip, they’re enormous and make this train look almost like a toy! 😮
This mini stedam Locomotive is just amazing, WoW 👍👍👍
Capital!
I remember that he has build it some years ago, and while he was also running his top bakery in the town center(turnhout) , if I am not wrong . He invited me once in his shed where he builded this magnificent loc . A most friendly man.
this looks so relaxing.
One word - magnificent.
I love steam engines and it has a great feeling.
Grandparents operate this railway and other grandparents with their grandchildren enjoy the joyrides too. Where is this, let me bring my grandchildren to this place. 😊😊
What a beautiful loco,great colour, where are you based
I’ve never been in a garret locomotive
