Live steam on a nice evening
Posted by emdmike on Thursday, July 8, 2021 6:50 PM

Since Garden Railways has been folded into the main magainze, the forum for it has died.  So, for more of you to enjoy, here is a short video of my AML/Accucraft USRA 0-6-0 pulling a nice long train(its every car I own thats USA style).  Engine is manually control and butane gas fired.  Only modification is a "chuff pipe" I made for the exhaust to make her talk a bit more and keep the oily gunk from the exhaust from going up the stack.   Enjoy!

The dogs haven't been impressed with it ever.  If it was the golden retriever, he just wants his ball thown.

Mike, that is so cool!  I'm impressed with the number of cars it can pull without too much apparent effort. Well done.

I hope the Garden Railway folks with share their pictures and videos on this forum. I'm sure quite a few of us will look at these with interest (and envy).

Kevin, it must be time for cataract surgery. The pup is laying on a wood bench on the deck bored as all heck.

Mike, nice video, nice layout, and man do I see a lot of room out there for expansion.

Oh my gosh! Since he was laying down facing the camera I did not interpret him as a dog at all.

My eye doctor says my vision is good, maybe I need a new eye doctor!

Kevin,  it's a husky it blends in well.   

I had huskies.  They had about the same amount of interest.   Except to sniff something new.    I miss having the large scale set up out side.   Have to do that soon

Great setup Mike and what fun. Take it from a guy living with a herd of Goldern Retrievers, your dog is most content and all is right with the world.Laugh
