The beginning of my winter time videos !! Hopefully back to build videos starting with a continuance of the riverside store buildings I started last spring !!
Hi Mark, I'm glad we met and got to go through the yard. They are running trains at Cass this month the only days available are Dec. 12 and 19 everything else is sold out. Looking forward to seeing your build series continue.
I still have not made it to Cass this year. I am finally slowing down so I can at least build some again . Have a wonderful holiday season my FRIEND !!!!!
Durbin and Greenbriar has the Buffalo and Gauley #4 2-8-0 that they are supposed to restore soon or have started already. Anyway I worked on it, kept it running, and played on it when it was at the North Carolina Transportation Museum when I was in high school. Learned a lot about steam locomotives from some very knowledgeable volunteers there and went to work for a contractor that traveled around the country rebuilding steam engines the summer I graduated. The locomotive was the Southern 604 there, which it was only playing the part of because it is the same type as what the Southern 604 2-8-0 was, so being that the NCTM is at Southern railways main shop on the line between Washington and Atlanta they gave it that number and lettering. I actually stripped it down about a month and a half before the boiler assessment that the man I went to work for performed. The price to rebuild the locomotive was more than expected, and the museum tried to raise the money to do so, but it set torn apart for years with pieces on pallets around the shop where I left them. It was very disappointing to see it leave, but I'm looking forward to riding on it again one day when it's steaming again and plan on making the trip up there to do so when that happens. Maybe I can visit with you aswell while there.
I would love to see it running again !!! It has had a lot of the work done I am not sure what it is still lacking ? I need to look into that with John Smith the CEO. I need to talk to him about other matters anyway. Maybe another video to work on . Have a wonderful Holiday season !!! Thanks for watching !!
@stewsstructures83 That would be great if you'd make a video about that. I've had a hard time finding up to date information about the project. The latest thing I found was from 2022 talking about the contract being awarded to Sistersville Tank Works to have a new completely welded boiler built and the cost being over $600,000, and they'd only raised around $135,000 but I also found that information posted a few years before then as well so I don't know how accurate it is. If I'm not mistaken, they plan on running that locomotive on the C&O Greenbriar Subdivision between Durbin and Cass. If you can find out any up to date information on the progress of the project, it would be much appreciated if you'd let me know what you've found out or do a video on it. Thanks. 👍
