- Ed Youngling's Cab Forward, modeled on the full-size locomotive in the Sacramento Railway Museum, running on the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railway Museum track in Rancho Cordova, California.
It's amazing how powerful those little engines are!
It proves that Little Engines Can do it Things
It Was Sad That The Cab Foward Locomotives Are Now Exinct
They Will Always Be Greatest Legends That Lived 🙏
Very cute Southern Pacific Cab forward train very cute
Absolutely fabulous. I Applaud the engineer who built this amazing model.
Beautiful live steam locomotive.

I Agree
That engine is so much fun to run, really smooth.
Cute Cab Forward
Think of the time one would have to spend to build a locomotive like that. A lot of skil went into building it. It is truly a work of art!
I can only imagine what kind of extraordinary talent and craftsmanship must have gone into building one of these operating steam locomotives, an Articulated Consolidation (Baldwin's AC-11 or AC-12). Parts probably had to be made individually, one at a time. So far as I know, there's no catalogue or Web site where one just orders a 1 1/2 scale working Cab Forward! My admiration and congratulations to the genius or geniuses involved in this remarkable accomplishment.
Beaut mate!
That's a pretty whistle. Who made it?
Probably north of 80 thousand, if you could find one!
Very nice. I have a lot of live steam videos on my channel, including my backyard track.
A Cab Forward live steam.... What will they think of next... lol.
Nice locomotive. I would love to have a real steamer.
That's a really cool live steam miniature model of a cab forward locomotive but how do you control something like that? With the cab on the front how do you pull the throttle check the water keep the fire going and blow the whistle
That's what I'm wondering too lol
In general, it is considered 3.5".
However I have seen people riding 2.5", on perfectly leveled tracks with fine tune engine.
If you like live steam, I have a lot of videos on my youtube channel.
Amazing!! Too bad though the Air Compressors didn't make the distinctive Cab Forward sound.
they sure like to blow the whistle on that thing.
speaking of which, where do people get the whistles that they put on these models?
Wow, I'm truly impressed! I live near to Hunter Park in Riverside, which has a live steam club affiliated with it, and a couple of years ago, some one built a model of a Big Boy and was running it there...did I have a camera or video with me? NO! Big Dummy! I carry one now for just such of an emergency.
@MrWizard53
how is the fire and water monitered and how is the regulator controlled? electronically or cable?
what would somethinglike this cost 10 -20 thousand
That is so Bad to the bone
I wish I had one of those
It's huuuuuge.....
this is gas
COOL ENGINE!!!! I would kill for even one a 1.5" scale steam engine. that one is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the confusion, it seems that the reply thread does not make any sense.
How do you do to monitor the boiler (water level, pressure)?
Nice engine.
there is sensor on the side of the boiler with a red light at the back of the tender to show low water level
Cab foward #4242 was one of the 40 AC-10's
Do the air pumps work?
@dashrs9 i saw the controls at 2:36 look on the tender.
How are boiler functions monitored from tender operating position?
Hows the stack talk on this engine when its loaded down?
Anyone else trying to figure out how he made this work?
LOL. I have the land to do it, but not the money, the expertise, or the security
can these blow upif you dont watch the water level .like a real train and if so what would happen could u get hurt
trackspike64 no unless the safety valves fail
whats the weight of it?
If a 1/2 scale 4-8-8-4 Cab forward ever exists. it will be Industrial switch engine or Theme park locomotives. yet. it is the closest thing to the original Cab forwards. (and that includes its whistle and valvegear voices, all are run under steam and no dub overs)
Did you build this and if so can I buy a set of plans from you? Thanks John
is it oil fired? like the real thing
What the smallest scale that people can ride on? 5"?
when are they going to run trains again
Wow!! "What a Beautiful Engine, 100% Grade A, haha"!!
P.S. if you didn't build it can you put me in touch with the gentleman that did. Thanks
liza gizmo the guys. name is edward yungling
what is the live steam club?

I dislike belaboring the point but scale, gauge, and ratio of model to full size are NOT interchangeable terms. Scale is the length representing a given full size measurement--inches per foot or mm per meter. Gauge is the distance between railheads on the inside--
7.0625" would be the actual gauge if modelled in 1.5" scale. For ease of working 7.25" and 7.5" is used instead. 7.5" would be 3 scale feet in 2.5" scale. The RATIO of 1.5"/ foot is 1 to 8 of the full size. Hope this helps.
Roy Reynolds it doesn't need a scale to look good
2037 whatdoyasay we have a big boy, challenger, and cab forward triple header--- wait that's pointless the big boy alone could pull 5 miles of cars XD
And a Allegheny or yellowstone
@trainboy94 my railway engine weigh 1 tonne
Can you run a steam locomotive of this size in cut off with the valve gear? or is it still too small that the steam expansion principal does not apply?
it's possible but in this scale most engineers don't bother
Why do all 1-1/2 scale train's whistles sound like a little kids Thomas the tank engine toot toot whistle?
The Arctic Gamer that whistle on that steam engine sounded pretty doggone good I don't wear where you come up with the Thomas s***
how did u feed it coal
I think it's propane or oil fired
The little round white car one car back is a propane tank
@@plymouth-hl20ton37 At one time the owner had the locomotive firing on oil and then switch to propane
gas as in propane
It would be cooler if you could not ride on them like a h o train set where you operate from a distance away lol
Well this kinda defeats the purpose of a cab forward.
