Something needs to be said about coming up with 101 really good looking freight cars, and the careful train handling to keep the train together. Phenomenal! The H-10's look and sound really good!
This is outstanding... Kudos to those that built the steamers, not to mention their operation (tis a lot of weight and in-train forces even when scaled down). I used to see live steamers on the occasional trip to Columbia, TN to catch one of their meets and it's a sound one never tires of hearing.
This reminds me of when I was a kid and used to listen to the steam engines pulling around a hundred cars through the Sacramento valley heading south . I can still remember that mornful sound of the steam whistles and clitty clack of the wheels on the tracks .
That's sounded so awesome and that lead engine differently dug in. This was awesome to watch and amazed at length of the train. Well done to all that's involved in n making this possible, including the filming.👍👋👋👋🚂
I do a lot of cool stuff. Skydiving, BASE jump, fly planes, helicopters, paragliders but I've always wanted to operate one of these steam locos. The nerd in me is strong
Nerd? Interesting. Most actual steam men were farmers, sons of railroad men or miners , and most of the people who make and run models like this are skilled machinists. Careful with your inner nerd ... computers can be very expensive, as well. LOL
Some clubs and/or members will teach you and/or let you use their equipment once you're competent enough. Have met a few & only been in the hobby about a year. Probably never afford a steamer, tho. Don't have enough zeroes in my income...
I love the sound on my 2 apple homepods. This probably is recorded in stereo or mono but you can hear every newonse of sound increase. From coming soft in the distance to loud as the trains roar by you. And then fade away in the distance.
Oh man...that H-10 in the lead is REALLY digging in. Sounds fantastic! Pardon my ignorance, but is Godshall still producing locos? Never heard live steam bark like that.
there's 4 H10's, so each is pulling roughly 25 cars, so it's not like a single consolidation pulling the thing, but coordination between engineer's would be tricky, good point though.
The Mill Creek Central is honestly nothing special when it comes to 7.5" gauge railways. I'd recommend checking out Train Mountain instead, the largest model railroad in the world. It's located in Chiloquin, Oregon in the northwest United States. It uses the exact same scale and gauge as the Mill Creek Central Railroad, and the same equipment can run on both. Train Mountain hosts a triennial every 3rd summer, the next being in 2021. That's when the most trains are active on the railroad at once.
@@treehousejackal8950, I know, But Train Mountain only permits propane burning locomotives on their rails. Plus I'm only an 11 year old with dreams of becoming a machinist and hopefully a club owner. Besides, when it come to 7.5 inch gauge railroads, they can be considered good as long as the train ride lasts at least 10 minutes.
@@awildjared1396 I was more talking to AustNRail, but yeah, you're absolutely right. I was more referring to the track gauge when I said that the same equipment can run on both, and I never said the Mill Creek Central wasn't good, I just said it was fairly average for 7.5" gauge railroads, which is still great. As for your dreams, pursue them! I'm 16 with dreams of becoming a robotics engineer.
@@treehousejackal8950 Nice, I have an older bro who is 16. If I do start a railroad club, chances are it will be within 50 miles of lake Topaz (CA/NV Border 400 miles up US 395 from LA county).
is there anywhere in the US that go from a town to a town/village etc as a tourist attraction or just on closed loops on private land for club members ?
Can you IMAGINE if someone had just dropped acid and their "friends" had not told them of the nature of the "Surprise" entertainment for the day. I'm thinking they might never be the same. Geeez this is weird even on a computer screen.

Truly impressive. Both the train handling and those H-10s are works of art.

THANK YOU for preserving and keeping classic Americana alive.

What a grand video Jim. This has to be close to a record. Next year Mike may have his helping as well. Great engineering.
The 101 car train is very impressive in this size hobby!

one of the biggest challenges in steam locomotives to drive this train to its final destination FANTASTIC congratulations to all

My thought is that the coin in you must also be strong if you can afford to do all of that. Us poor folk just watch others do it on UA-cam.
YEHARRR.

He was driving the second engine, and he built all of them!
At 2:36 I realized there's only a single class powering the train, a quartet of H10's.
Wow! Awesome!! Stupendous!!! Loved it!!!! I counted 101 cars including cabeese. Was I accurate? Thanks for posting it. Have a great day everyone.
Parabéns idealizadores e todos participantes que cultivam o transporte ferroviário. 🇧🇷👏
A new record?
Did anyone bother to figure the gross tonnage of the train?
That is a lot of cars to pull.

I have a switch track this size can u tell me what it's worth a someone who may interested
Probably needs a 40 foot semi trailer to carry all that rolling stock.
Coming from Australia, how would I find the Mill Creek Central Railway?
No offence, but A. it's railroad, B. it's in the great lakes region I think.

So cool
Nicccccceeeee😎😎😎😎😎😎

There is a public track at Carillon park in Dayton Ohio USA. This track is a private track. Visit millcreekcentral.com for more info!
Train Mountain in Oregon has over 20 miles of main line track.
Lot of clubs do public ride days for free or low cost.
Where are the pinup girls running trains and vintage cars? Buick chevy...gullivers journey to modern times.
