Hey! Thanks for the video pretty awesome. NSRM has 3 steam locos that operate. #18 the dayton WAS in Virginia city but is now at the museum in carson city. The Glenbrook is pretty awesome! 1875 narrow gauge engine she is a beauty and ran up in The Tahoe area. I am glad you seperated the current V&T and the NSRM. we support eachother. Thanks for the support NSRM has their big weekend during the 4th.

Also Virginia & Truckee 29 will taken out of service sometime this year for a 1,472 Day Inspection and overhaul.
Wow, I haven't been to those places since I was 7. I remember when I was a kid my parents took me to the Ponderosa Ranch in Lake Tahoe. Now I am 22, good memories

Hey Toyman I know this video is approx 5 years old but will you please stop identifying steam engines buy the inaccurate description of 6 , 8 and 10 wheelers It's very misleading and to some people including me who grew up in a logging family and these classic engines . Also I've written to several Model RXR magazines in the past about the misleading and sloppy descriptions by some lazy contributing authors that are still getting away with it . Please call them by their correct descriptions 2 - 6 - 0 , 2 - 5 - 0 and so forth . My Nickname is ... Westside Jack WSL PS The Carson City Railroad Museum is not associated or affiliated with the railroad museum Virginia and Truckee . This information was given to me by an employee of the Carson City museum .
I just had to say I enjoy all your videos. I loved it when you were at Ed Roths better know as Rat fink's place.So sad we lost an amzing artist hot hodder.
The car (NOT ME!!) came in 2nd overall in the 2008 Time Attack with Paul Brown at the wheel. Love collecting cars, but with my heart they will not allow me on the track. SO>>> Video games!!!
+ToyMan *The current Virginia & Truckee has a better steamer than the orginal's* in fleet no. 29, 2-8-0 Baldwin Class 2-8-0-250-3 SerNo 44235, built for the Louisiana and Pacific in 1916 - three years after the original Virginia & Truckee River took delivery of 4-6-0 Baldwin Class 4-6-0-82 SerNo 39453 - and more than powerful enough for current revenue runs. 39453 is on static display (as V&T #27) at the Nevada State RxR Museum, where 4-6-0 Baldwin Class 4-6-0-74 SerNo 25016 (as V&T #25) and 4-4-0 Baldwin Class 8/26-C-78 SerNo 3693 (as V&T #22) are operational. Incidentally, I see the lettering style used for the #22 tender as of this video shoot as correct for #25, #27, and #29, albeit in nickel on black; #22 really needs her tender repainted consistently with "Glenbrook," 2-6-0 Baldwin Class 8/20-D-12 SerNo 3712, and given the historically-correct "V. & T. R. R." lettering in gold leaf.
I believe the Inyo's paint scheme is accurate to its early 1890's appearance. The museum likes to portray different era's to show how things changed over time. Which is kinda cool I think. Notice the sister engine #12 in Sacramento is mostly black, showing an even later representation.
I have also had the Virginia and truckee railroad from Virginia City to Gold Hill Nevada, back in August 2022 After that, we rode the Nevada northern railroad at east ely to Robertson Canyon It was very fun Then, after that we went to the Heber Valley Railroad after that Then we went to Ogden Utah to the Utah State Railroad Museum in Ogden, Utah. Then, finally we made it to the golden spike reenactment at promontory summit Utah
Very nice video! I know that their is another V&T 4-4-0 the "Reno" is on display at Old Tuscon studios. The other operating 4-4-0 at the museum under restoration is Dardenville & Russellville #8
We are very proud of our museum here in Carson and and love our railway!!! Thanks for doing such a fantastic production, I am even more proud to be from Carson City when I see videos like this!
Toyman, I have a suggestion for a new place for your next video. I recommend going to Cedar Point which is an amusement park in Sandusky Ohio which I just got back from a few days ago. They have a very nice and interesting steam railroad called the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad (CP&LE RR) which is a 3ft narrow gauge railroad which has a total of 6 engines. 4 operating steam engines, 1 steam engine on display, and a little diesel switcher. Hope you consider it and it's a great theme park as well as railroad.
@@ToyManTelevision I used to drive tour buses out of San Francisco and "modified" the schedule so I could have more personal time in Virginia City. Did you know the Bonnie and Clyde death car used to be on display there? Also used to go 4 wheeling East of there to explore old Chinese laborer buildings and a couple of very old Boot Hill locations..
Last time I was in V City I thought I would try panning for gold. The water was so damn cold that I just wanted to get it over with. The proprietor got mad at me for not taking it seriously! I guess I was just screwing around.
Great video. But GLENBROOK is actually a 2-6-0, and DAYTON is actually on display in Virginia City. I wish you had time for more details, like the features that the equipment was in, particularly "Union Pacific", the film that 4 V&T locomotives and almost every V&T car at the museum appeared in. I'm helping with an upcoming book that has the latest information and list on the V&T films.
Isaiah Williams I guess I mis spoke on the Glenbrook. and I was told the Dayton was at the museum near Vegas. Which I would have known, we would have checked it out!
This episode was just "chuck-full" of goodies. Not far from us, if one considers about a five hour drive not far. Well Done You. The Bachmann "ten wheelers" in large scale are not so far off the mark. Thank you for showing that.
Jeanne Uzar As a kid I always thought of Reno-Tahoe as the gateway to the Bay Area. After crossing the Great Basin TA DA!! And the thinking of the people and feel of the place was sort of the same. AND I still feel Sacramento is in the Bay and that's close (ish).
I think that all of those steam trains are really cool, great video by the way also I know this is off subject but does anybody know when the hafb (hill air force base) air show is I can't find any website that can tell me.
Loved the video. Been a while since I was there. The tracks from CC to VC when I left were a pipe dream. I am sure that they most likely had a repair shop in VC. The main repair shop was in CC. It was very large and was torn down in the 80's I do believe. Please understand that I am recalling this from 30+ years a go, not all will be totally correct but very close. I believe that the main shop was on Stewart St in CC. It was so large, well staffed and capable that Mexico had their engines repaired there. This is what was reported and I can not confirm.
I had a chance to get in it before it was torn down. They saved several of the stone arch’s and door frames to use at the museum but so far they are out in the yard.
So the state relayed the track from VC to CC ''AFTER'' tearing it all out in the mid 50's or 60's. Now come they didn't just leave it be in the first place?
I'd love to rescue the RENO & restore it to run on coal! the McKeen was de-trucked & the body was used as a restaurant & later a plumbing shop so when the building it was built around was about to be demolished the museum got it & restored it During the restoration they found THE actual whistle in the front behind the wood walls!

I did plan to film the four V&T engines and the Virginia & Truckee Railroad too. There are nine exist V&T steam locomotives around today.
The Reno is the sad case. Hope they do something with it. Great and famous locomotive

Would love to see the tourist line make it all the way to the museum, I believe it would benefit both the museum and the tourist line.
That would be great. Expensive though. No direct way to get there. Old main gone. They would need several overpass. But who knows?
It would probably be great. They are fun train rides.
Nice video. I would take a closer look at the locomotive (the #29) in Virginia City. I believe it is a 2-8-0 and not a 10-wheeler.
Joel Harrison Yup, Sure thought this was a ten wheeler like the ones in Carson. Consolidation alright. Looks so much like the Baldiwn 4-6-0. Oops
Thanks, I think it'll help others that aren't familiar with steam engine wheel configurations.
My favorite Nevada scenery! Love this state and love Virginia city. Wohoo!!
Love the place!
Wow, I haven't been to those places since I was 7. I remember when I was a kid my parents took me to the Ponderosa Ranch in Lake Tahoe. Now I am 22, good memories
Still there too! Need to do a show on ponderosa

If you ever get a chance, come on up to the Halifax and southwestern railway museum, in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia , canada
Hey I'm in this one firing the 25. Lot of the info is incorrect but hey whatever.
I saw you in Carson City at the NSRM I wanted to stop you and say "hi I love your videos" but that day was just so crazy.
spfilms4449 Crazy and fun! And wet! We may cross paths again.
When did u and ur wife go on the trip ?
HI! This trip was in about may of 2015. I think that was the last time we were in that area. Going back there soon!! No idea when, but soonish.

Toy Man Television okay thank you
If you ever see this comment I'm in your video
Where??
I'm on top of the Glenbrook
Virginia city looks lovely. Great video.
ayelogan Fun and weird place. Sort of like a biker bar Disneyland.Odd, but fun and interesting.

@@ToyManTelevision WOW, did not know that. I left CC in 1998. I would not have walked into that building to save a puppy.
So the state relayed the track from VC to CC ''AFTER'' tearing it all out in the mid 50's or 60's. Now come they didn't just leave it be in the first place?
+chaosdemonwolf1 How it goes I guess. In most cities the trolleys were all torn out and are now being put back, right where they were.
Ironic, ain't it, lol
I'd love to rescue the RENO & restore it to run on coal!
the McKeen was de-trucked & the body was used as a restaurant & later a plumbing shop
so when the building it was built around was about to be demolished the museum got it & restored it
During the restoration they found THE actual whistle in the front behind the wood walls!
I want to go see the Reno. Sad situation
thats why I wanna rescue it & do a full on restoration
then truck it to the V&T & run it there
Have you been to the Nevada Northern Northern Railray Museum?
Um 29 is a 2-8-0 not a 4-6-0
I ment 25. Oops
You forgot Mcloud River 18
V&T is the bomb!!!! BUT they will not let us in the shops. So unless they are running it.....
Toy Man Television oh lol
Love to see their shops!!! AND that loco!!!!!
