Cool.
A few things I noticed. I had a friend complain that the sound board he had sounded like a model T when the locomotive was at speed. Well that locomotives sounds about the same at speed, so my friend’s sound board wasn’t far off.
The locomotive is SHORTER then the caboose. I found that odd.
Way cool
Most interesting Video. Allot of fans are willing to work on the RR on the weekends! How far do they plan to go and where is the RR located?
Rode one in Wales a number of years ago, it was neat too.

This RR is in Alna, Maine.
WW&F keeps growing-now 2.5 miles according to the home page

Fall Festival on September 27th
A steam locomotive on 2.5 miles of 24 inch gauge track. Ah, it would be just too cool to be able to play with that.
I have been there and it is a really neat RR with some really cool equipment. I believe they have added another forney or 2 to their roster since this movie was made in 2002. Neat to see all those volunteers working, I wonder if Eric Schade was among them?
This is one of only a few operating rail cars of this type and this RR runs theirs. It has a device that is lowered onto the track so the car can be turned.
and this.

So did the drive wheels come with the concave surface or did it wear it’s self in?
It would help to keep it on the rails!!
Neat video!
I enjoyed watching the video except for one thing .
The bells! The bells! No wonder Quasimodo went mad .
