I have been aboard a working 50-B steamer (the one that is now at Rollag). This model is perfect, and runs very well. It reminds me of details I'd forgotten about. Absolutely museum quality.
This stupifies me. This thing is beyond awesome. I'm speechless, I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful model of any scale or prototype. This makes me proud to be human!
This is one of the most beautiful models I’ve ever laid eyes on. From the craftsmanship to the finish absolutely gorgeous. I know I’m late to the video but still.
Humans would have trouble building something like that these days,everything is so damned cheap,your model preserves not only history but technology of the past which we might need again in the future.i enjoyed the video tremendously thank you.
What a magnificent work! I have been working for months on a similar Erie driven by DC motors. Your work puts me to shame. I will finish mine but it will never be anywhere nice as yours. Congratulations and well done.
where did you get the plans? from Bucyrus or photograph t he one at Rollad. Stunning model . So much detail and patience to make all the parts, thank you
I run only once with steam, but I was alone and the video is bad.....The only problem was the opening of the bucket's door, because the pipe is too long and of small diameter and there is a lot of condense that acts as a plug; I don't wish to use a larger tube, it would be out of scale. The other problem is that the steam condenses everywhwre on the structure and can cause a lot of rust; I used a special coating, but it's easier to run with compressed air...........

@@albertocelot Sorry I should have clarified, the valve with the ornate four-spoke wheel over the steam friction clutch cylinder at 2:51 in the video. I have one of these on one of my engines and I am looking for its manufacturer!
Complimenti per la complessità del modello e te lo dice chi costruisce locomotive a vapore in 5".Vorrei applicare ad una Heisler di mia costruzione un micro bruciatore a gasolio: mi puoi dare un aiutino ?
Sono anch'io un costruttore (o ex costruttore....) di locomotive in 5". Scrivimi alla email che trovi nel mio sito e volentieri cercherò di darti una mano
imagine how long this thing took to build. the time and dedication to build this machine is really something

Absolutely museum quality.
There's a 50-B in Nederland Colorado that they claim is the only one left. Are they mistaken?
@@oldrustycars Mistaken. The one I was aboard was in Kentucky, now at Rollag Minnesota. Pretty sure there is another one at a California museum.
This stupifies me. This thing is beyond awesome. I'm speechless, I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful model of any scale or prototype. This makes me proud to be human!
Definitely the best scale model ever. I've been on one of these and am amazed by the degree of craftsmanship.
The shovel is truly a work of art, simply amazing!
Amazing! I have experience on a full sized 50B at Rollag, MN and I have to say you did an amazing job scaling it down. Beautiful job!!!
This is one of the most beautiful models I’ve ever laid eyes on. From the craftsmanship to the finish absolutely gorgeous. I know I’m late to the video but still.
I've never seen a model with more detail attention than this, outstanding!! What a beauty
Raise the Shovel sounds exactly like the real Bucyrus Erie, thanks

Superb model! Outstanding detail & functionality!

A big applause to this great builder!
This is insane workmanship!
You are a mechanical genius. That steam shovel is a masterpiece!
That is one of the coolest models I have ever seen, the detail work is amazing ! Thanks for posting!!
Gorgeous. Amazing work, sir.
Totally amazing! It's a beautiful work of Art!
This is an AWSOME model! Beautifully built.
Wonderful piece of work - absolutely wonderful!!!

piece of art. You sir are a craftsman.
Incredible machine. Very nice work.
Wow! That's what a true engineer looks like folks!
Amazing, a truely wonderful achievement.
Amazing craftsmanship!
Amazing detail and it all works, very well done.
I have 4 videos on YT of the 50-B that was in Kentucky, now at Rollag. They show how precise your model is. You will recognize every detail.
Beautiful work!
This is incredible!
What a magnificent model, I'd love to have one to play with. Great job.
Impressive, congratulations!
Work of art.
I have experience in heavy equipment operations boiler installation and Plumbing I need this
Absolutely superb! What an achievement.
was this a kit or was it made from scratch either way Bravo
What a nice job. WOW. Incredible.
What museum has this ended up in, I need to see this
Any footage of it running on steam?
Awesome!!!! The best model em the earth!
where did you get the plans? from Bucyrus or photograph t he one at Rollad. Stunning model . So much detail and patience to make all the parts, thank you
There was almost no drawing.....I went to Willits-CA to take pictures and measurements and then I made all the drawings in 3D CAD
Great model! Does it run on steam and everything work?
Awesome!!!!!!!
fantastic !
👌. Pure genius 👏
Absolutely amazing..!..!
Really awesome model, well done! I'm curious did you get plans from somewhere or were you able to measure a full sized machine?
+finster101 I took the measurements on the full sized 50-B that is located at Roots of Motive Power in Willits - CA
+Alberto Celot Thanks for the reply and info.
Just to help withe the sense of scale Alberto, what diameter is the cable that lifts and lowers the main boom?
2 mm
ho visto il lavoro sul tuo sito , che dire complimenti!
Awesome Alberto, i just subbed! that thing is hella awesome! I
Will there be a video of this running on it's own steam power?
I run only once with steam, but I was alone and the video is bad.....The only problem was the opening of the bucket's door, because the pipe is too long and of small diameter and there is a lot of condense that acts as a plug; I don't wish to use a larger tube, it would be out of scale.

Alberto Celot Certain things don't scale well. I think your thinking is sound here.
autocostruito vero?
Wonderful engineering
Perfeito!!!
What valves are you using?
I don't understand the meaning of your question..........
@@albertocelot You've built a beautiful crane, what I meant was what company did you buy the globe valves used in the pipework from?
