There's another place we missed on vacation.... 😀 Thanks for video tour part 1! looking forward to the rest. Oh, the inside of the depot is a really neat color- that almost lime/ minty green wood paint on the lower half looks like caboose interior green; I found that color paint and am doing a caboose in that color on the inside!
What a wonderful place. Every turn is like stepping back into time. Love the trolley in Culp's. I have many in my diecast collection. I can't wait to view more. Thanks Bob 👍
The train is produced by a company called Savern Lamb. The steam locomotive appearance is purely aesthetic, but it sure does look gorgeous. Savern Lamb's "steam engines" are actually powered by diesel, propane, or are fully electric. That 0-4-0 steam switcher is a fireless locomotive (sometimes called fireless cookers). It didn't have a fire like most steam locomotive, and the large cylindrical reservoir you see is actually like a large thermos. The locomotive would receive superheated water and steam from a stationary boiler into it's large reservoir. Because the reservoir was so well insulated, the superheated water would continue producing steam to power the engine for a couple of hours. Germany still uses a few 0-6-0 fireless locomotives in industrial areas, and a handful of countries in South America also still use them for transporting things like sugar cane. Fireless steam engines mean that there's no chance of stray sparks that could cause accidents.
That looks like a fabulous place Bob! I have to ask, is that gorgeous steam locomotive actually a live steamer or is it just "steam profile?" No matter either way, I love to own it myself! Thanks for posting!
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 I’m not sure how the locomotive was powered. I know it’s pretty new. The paint looked fresh and perfect. I actually don’t remember hearing the release of any steam. So… I don’t really know. 🤷🏼♂️
WOW.....I was in Dayton recently and really wish I could have gotten out there. Was that LOCO steam or running off something else. That little 0-6-0 being restored looked like a fire-less loco......used in areas with flammables. Thanks
Nice place Bob thanks for showing it.
It was a really fun time. 👍🏻😀
That's a cool place 😎 went last Christmas 🎄 fun
I’d like to see it decorated for Christmas. 😀

That color seems like it was popular a long time ago. My grandparents kitchen was that light green too.

@@jimmelchin1531 Thanks Jim. Trolleys are pretty cool and you know I love diecast!
Wonderful. Someone else besides me is giving this railroad more exposure. Large kudos to you.
@@patrickd.3681 it’s a cool place.
That was really enjoyable to watch Bob! Thank you for sharing this with your UA-cam family. ❤💯😊
Thanks Frank!
What a great place. I had never heard of it. I was to the air museum though in 1979.
It would be hard to do both in the same day but they are now too far from each other. 👍🏻😀
Looks like a great place Bob.
It’s pretty sweet. Have a great weekend Hunter!
Nice. Looking forward to more videos of this location 👍🙏❤️🔥💪🇺🇸
@@RABSTRAINS Thanks. Maybe I’ll see you at the Lakota Show. Have a great week!
@@bobsworkshop5181 what day are you going Bob?
Man! That place looks so cool! Thanks for sharing!
@@r.c.1878 thanks dude!
Fun video you always find new places to visit
Thanks but it’s my wife who finds them. She’s really good at searching for cool things to do.
@@bobsworkshop5181 that’s true my wife is the same way
Awesome! I can't wait for the next part. Could you tell if the steam engine was gas or battery?
@@chicagolandrailroader someone in the comments said that it was battery powered but I don’t know for sure. Thanks for watching it!

By the way Bob, thank you so much for sharing your video!

It’s a steam profile. The tender contains the motors and they are powered by batteries.
@@bobsworkshop5181 That's OK, it's a looker just the same!
@@patrickd.3681 Thanks! I can't say I'm disappointed in the answer, it's still a beauty!
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 Severn Lamb do build good trains. They built the ones at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
The large long hill next to the park it a terminal moraine from the last ice age.
@@michaelioas8239 Yeah! That’s pretty amazing. We watched a video there about just that topic. We never knew. 😀

I don’t know how it was powered but it was really sweet. 👍🏻
