Big Boys and Great Toys: Live Steam Garden Railway and Real Steam Trains on Backyard Railroad

  • Some say live steam trains, others say real steam trains. Today, we discover the world of garden railway, backyard railroad or garden railroad with live steam locomotives from 5 inch gauge up to 7 1/4 inch gauge. It is about ridable miniature railways including locomotives large enough for one or several persons to ride on.
    The whole video was taken on the railway course of the German Railway Modelling Club, called “Dampfbahnclub Taunus”, located near Frankfurt/Main, Germany. As you can see from the tracks, the park railway is suitable for 5 inch and 7 ¼ inch model trains. Please, enjoy these steam locomotives and listen to their original sound.

    Today, May 4th I saw Big Boy 4014 coupled up with the 844, heading west on the UP line out of Cheyenne Wyoming, under its own power, fully restored. It was incredible, It was History. Yes the Big Boy will never pull freight any more, but still in all, too see her chugging down the tracks and hear her whistle. Yeah, it was so wonderful. But you guys, to have built a Big Boy so small and fully operational, that takes talent. Good job and great video.

      В России и так есть детские железные дороги (ДЖД). И носят как практическое значение, так аттракцион для отдыха. Основная колея 750 мм, парк локомотивов и паровозы, но большей частью тепловозы. С 30-тых годов во многих городах СССР открыты для профориентации школьников, являются первой ступенью обучения профессиям железной дороги. В настоящее время около 19 тысяч школьников разного возраста обслуживают локомотивы и вагоны, станции ДЖД. И примерно 2,6 тысяч в последующем приходят в высшие и средние учебные заведения для получения образования, и работы по окончании в системе РЖД. В летние каникулы дети и являются пассажирами в вагонах ДЖД. А не как у вас - сидят взрослые "дети" на паровозах, утраивают покатушки ....

    The locomotive at 2:49 is more closely modeled after the Challenger then the Big Boy. Big Boy has a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement while the Challenger is 4-6-6-4. Both however, were built by the legendary American Locomotive Company, also known as Alco. Besides that, awesome video and awesome models!

      @@jetegtmeier71 Yes. The locomotive shown is a Norfolk & Western Class A, a 2-6-6-4. That wheel arrangement originated on the Seaboard Air Line, which wanted a powerful locomotive for fast freight. It was a much lighter engine than the N&W's version, however! The Seaboard's engines were eventually sold to the Baltimore & Ohio.
