  • Everyone knows about and loves Midlander; but how about the engine that came BEFORE her? Today we'll not only learn about Lawnmower; but how I made a model of her as well!

    'Why didn't they just-'
    They probably either didn't realize that was an option, was declined service, or out of sheer determined principle to show everyone else what THEY can do.
    And By God I RESPECT that.

      There's only been like, 2 that were retired. If you consider engines that used to work on the Talyllyn, there's about uhhh, 4, including the Lawnmower and Charlie's Ant, so, not many.

    Lawnmower is one of the more unusual unique engines. Not part of an experiment like the W1, or the result of unusual requirements like the narrow gauge Garratts of Myanmar, but simply built because they could with what they had. Incredible.

    I know i said it in the post you made to promote this video but i am glad the lawnmower is getting more recognition since it does have a role in preservation history...im currently working on a few variants of the original no.7 both in talyllyn and skarloey variants for trainz however i also plan to make a 3d lawnmower of my own at some point....keep up the good work...and hope to see more videos on little known engines in the future....i know the talyllyn railway has quite a few diesels that never have gotten too much limelight

    What a Great little summary of 5’s history! One thing I would note is that the wagon at 3:10 was not made it of The Lawnmower, but is actually an old RNAD wagon which is much larger.

  • @seankash8546
    @seankash8546 2 роки тому +4

    How funny is it that the original No. 5 “Lawnmower” was a dangerous piece of junk meant to be a quick replacement for a proper steam locomotive... and fifty years later, we are planning on rebuilding this piece of junk... in commemoration of the man who helped preserve the steam locomotives! One generation’s trash, has become another generation’s railroading treasure. History has a habit of traveling full-circle in this manner ;)

  • @CaptainLegend
    @CaptainLegend 2 роки тому

    If you can't put a motor in the loco itself you could always cheat and make a powered box car that Lawnmower can pull behind. Sort of how the Skarloey engines in season 4 had to have a separate battery box for their eye mechs that they hid off screen or in a box car. Though I can imagine that might be annoying because ideally you would want to have the engine be able to pull itself. Just an idea!
