    Congratulations brother!!!! Can’t wait to follow this project. We just started restoration on my new 15T standard-gauge Porter (no videos yet), I’m blown away that UA-cam will see the restoration of all 3 major Tank loco manufacturers with this Vulcan, the Davenports with @Wreck2Restored, and our Porter!! These saddle tank locos are such sweethearts. All the best to you guys & will be stoked for the next episode. Cheers!! 🔥

      Excellent video Ethan! I'm very excited to follow your project!
      It will certainly be fascinating to see the differences between the three manufacturers and how they accomplished the same task!
      Best of luck to both of you on your projects, I can't wait for all the amazing restoration content!

    Great summary, as an owner of both steam and diesel locomotives (2ft gauge) your experience in purchasing and then moving your loco is the same as us. I look forward to following your journey. We are at the same stage with our steam locos.

    Best of your luck with your efforts man so many people I see now in the 21th century restoring and operating steam locomotives. The best idea for you is collab with as many other railroaders especially steam locomotive operators as you can the more are united the more will be able to come back from years of rusting away. Learn from them and get a feel for what it will be like when your engine is back under it's own power. Cheers to you and Merry Christmas to you and your family Ethan

    If you're not aware, the channel Vintage Machinery has several videos where he has worked on one of these Vulcan 0-4-0's, Including dismantling and reassembly when having the boiler replaced.

    I think if you’re keeping it at your place, have a steam port take off. So you could hook up to a steam power hammer that doesn’t need any more explanation lol. And if you take it to shows hook up to steam corn. Sells like crazy recoup some operating / repair maintenance costs. Have fun with that project. Your family will never forget it!

    Exciting times ahead! I really admire and support folks like you and others fixing up these full size (narrow gauge, etc) engines.
    If you pop over to my channel you’ll see my little 3 3/4 Scale Porter I happily tote around to clubs, etc. Steaming is not a hobby, it’s an addiction! A ritual of the elements, and I’m glad to see you’re carrying yet another torch!

  • @lsdzheeusi
    @lsdzheeusi 5 годин тому

    Potentially dumb question if you have time: since we don't really use steam engines in the modern world, how do they have the engineers to do the certification and calculations? Other industries have had real problems with brain drain, even for example products from the recent past like the 1980s have had problems because everyone involved at that time has retired.Much less technology from so far back.

    • @crissd8283
      @crissd8283 3 години тому

      Steam boilers are still everywhere. Most of your power generation is via coal burning in a boiler or natural gas. There are hundreds of thousands of boilers just in the US, they may not be on trains but it is the same concept and thus engineers would be available to run the numbers.

    • @jimmynswgr
      @jimmynswgr 2 години тому

      There is also plenty of written material. It’s not all on the internet. There are books out there that still exist with calculations in them.
