      I don't know if you try to one shot one take this stuff, but I would recommend, trying to section off stuff you want to say, record it, and if you mess up, then go back to the the "checkpoint" if you will and record over that section,
      Not sure how adept you are to recording software, but if you have questions, i'd be more than happy to help.

He was quite specific on the 9000's in our conversations though. He absolutley hated firing them and he often commented about the rough riding characteristics. He always stated that to him, "that third cylinder was outta balance when they were making time." Unfortunately, to my knowledge he never did said why that was, but I got the impression it had something to do with valving. He also did not care for the Big Boys. He said something about to much cold water in the boilers, to which I beleive he was refering to the flatlands hard water goofing up the injectors from what I remember.

    You know, there was a class of 2-12-0 locomotives built from 1917-1924 by and for Germany. The first ones were part of the Wurttemberg (sorry if I spelled it wrong) Railway, and worked in the German state of Wurttemberg when they formed the German National Railways. They were originally the Class K's, but were reclassified as the DRG Class 59. A total of 44 of them were built, and remained in service until 1957 (these locomotives remained on German rails for 4 decades, which is impressive for their size). Sadly, none of them were preserved, but there are some models of these exact locomotives. So if you want one, I guess you can try to get one online. Also, for some reason I thought ALCO or UP were inspired by these German locomotives.

    Good video, just one comment, the cylinders in a steam train are pressurized in both direction, so on a two cylinder engine there are four beats per revolution of the wheels. This is why in the book "The Little Engine That Could" he repeats "I Think I Can" cadence of four beats then switches to I Thought I Could.

    I love the 9000s. They get kind of a bad rap, but they wouldn't have lasted late into the steam era if they weren't cost effective. With the introduction of roller bearings and especially the single piece cast steel beds with integral cylinders, the maintenance issues were greatly reduced. I don't know if the 9000 ever got a replacement single piece bed (I could look it up), but if not it really wouldn't be a candidate for restoration. My friend and I think of them as early Challengers - they just needed a hinged frame and one more cylinder, and obviously the Challengers were the next evolutionary step from the 9000s. The two volumes on these locos by Kratville are highly recommended.

    If they’re going to retire 2 steamers, I’m sure the 4014 will be one of them, with the other one being the #3985 Challenger. I know the #844 Northern has had some problems, but my understanding is that they’ve been mostly fixed.

      The super train was already done by someone else who arguably did a way better job than I ever could. I can definitely do the turbines, and maybe 5550, but it's not even finished construction yet. I'm definitely doing a vid on the T1s overall though

      @@railroadexplained5767 well you could explain the current status of T1 no.5550, and also, the original T1 (no. 5500 to 5549), also, C&O M1 steam turbine locomotive is probably the coolest looking of the four steam turbine, with Union Pacific having uglier looking steam turbines

    Great information. Keep it up. As mentioned in other comments, slow down the cadence just a tad. Rehearse. Be careful of the F bombs. You don't want the UA-cam police look for any excuse to demonitize videos.

You were also correct in your comment about other nations not knowing of this engine. It one I've never heard of it in the UK. An interesting note, Gresley's 3 cylinder valve gear was equally a pain on his own engines for the London & North Eastern Railway!! 👍👍🇬🇧

    Ummm… don’t understand what you mean by the USA taking it to a new level with a 3rd cylinder. Lots of British engines have an inside 3rd cylinder. Same in Germany and the rest of Europe. Idk how that’s taking it to a new level. Very good video though and the Keep up the good work

      For the USA, the idea of a 3rd cylinder was basically unheard of. When it comes to locomotives, the us did often take inspiration from Europe, but the 3rd cylinder wasn't one of them
