    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.

      ⁠@@ToyManTelevision They did since August 2021, it’s now at the Virginia & Truckee Railroad undergoing restoration back to operation along with Santa Maria Valley Railroad No. 100 (Soon going to be Virginia & Truckee #30). Also Virginia & Truckee 29 will taken out of service sometime this year for a 1,472 Day Inspection and overhaul.

    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.

    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 .

    +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.

      @oscarwallace3677 4 роки тому

      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.

    Canyon It was very fun
    Then, after that we went to the Heber Valley Railroad after that

    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.

    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.

    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.
