Posting another today - the largest locomotive? That is a tough question to answer. We have had "Big-Boys," and a "Tri-plex." However, they are 1.5" scale. Then, we have had narrow gauge (2.5-3.5" scale) K-27's and other big steam. I think that might be debatable...
I hope one day I can join you guys with my project build AC60CW I'm working on now. I've seen so many videos of the place and really enjoy the videos you produce.
Western Victorian Railways Ah, okay. I mean I love American locos and all, but you'd think there'd be at least one person with a model of the Mallard or the Scotsman.
Kyle- Train Mountain has no influence, or say, on what types of locomotives our members choose to build & bring to Train Mountain. That being said, we have seen a number of locomotives visit throughout the years that are models from outside the US. Certainly the most common are the locomotives from Canada. However, there are a number of examples of British, German, and Australian locomotives that have graced our rails. In fact, there was a British 0-4-0 that visited us two months ago in June. If you have a European locomotive that is 7.5" gauge, you are welcome at Train Mountain anytime. We would love to have you!
Train Mountain Railroad Museum Ah, okay! I do suppose that because this is an American railroad that the majority of locomotives would be American. I just asked that because in the videos I've seen on youtube I haven't recognized any non US or Canadian ones.
Check out the videos made at the 2012 and 2015 Triennials. There are links to both trailers on the home page of our website, as well as links to purchase the entire DVD. In them, you will see a good assortment of the locomotives that have visited, including a beautiful new Canadian National 4-8-2 #6060. www.tmrr.org
This is commonly referred to as the "Live Steam" hobby. Our track gauge is 7.5" and our members model in 1.5" scale through 3.5" (narrow gauge). For more info, visit ibls.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Actually, many are real steam engines. This particular video is a gas-hydraulic locomotive (a model of a diesel-electric). However, we also have electric (battery) powered locomotives, steam, and people-powered. Early on in the "Live Steam" hobby, almost everything was steam. In the 80's, gas-hydraulic locomotives started to appear. In the last 10 years, electric locomotives have become very popular. This video demonstrates the vast array of motive power in the hobby as seen at Train Mountain: ua-cam.com/video/vqx8lJmZjek/v-deo.html
Since you are enjoying this so much, let me direct you to another one of my favorites- this is truly a family friendly hobby that everyone can get involved in ua-cam.com/video/0owSnfn6hOk/v-deo.html
5:10 That bang sounded realistic!
Loved the video but would have been nice to see more of the train instead of the beginning and the end.
The conductor is one of those people who have never used a radio before, and definitely wants to be seen on youtube
impressive!!!
I would have much rather seen the train in its entirety rather than zeroing in on the cars to show the kids.
when u doing another video? and what's the biggest locomotive at train mountain?

awesome video. very cool.
Is there a reason behind the fact that no one at Train Mountain seems to have any European engines?
A group from Australia took some Australian locos there once

So could i get a membership and run my own train even though im only 15 years old, and i live in Rocky Point Oregon.
Yes, family memberships are available. Please visit the website for all the details on membership information www.trainmtn.org
kid conductor is definitely a ham radio operator
What is the name of model sizes or gauges again? I forgot

+Train Mountain Railroad Museum oh ok, one more question, what makes the steam in the engines? There's no way that there actually steam powered

+Train Mountain Railroad Museum dang, this is probably the most realistic model train hobby I ever heard of, I'll have to get into it one day

I'll be helper crew with my 2 engines
