Hello, welcome to my channel! Here on CNW 1015 there will be railfanning videos, model railroading, Railroad history, and so much more. I will try to post as often as I can.
When I went there I talked to an associate and they said that first. You need $3M to restore and fire up the locomotive, a place to run it, a crew, an organization, ability to maintain it, and to have some place to keep it. So one would have to either be a multi-millionaire or have an organization to afford it.
A 4-4-0 with 2.2m drivers and a very slim appearance? Hell fucking yeah. 999 my beloved. If a locomotive has drivers THIS big, she might as well have shattered the 100mph.
I’m actually considering getting just the locomotive from that set and relettering it for my railroad as BL&G locomotive number 11. As part of my modifications to it, I will replace the original small headlamp with a larger headlamp from a Bachmann USRA mikado. Currently, I’m working on restoring my Bachmann 4-6-0 number 87 (Southern Railway), as well as my 2-10-0s numbers 8 and 7 (BL&G).
There are electro magnetic switches some 100m away from the crossing. When the train moves over it, a contact is closed an a signal goes out to that bell.
If you ever get permission, you could get up close to 4460, I actually got to see her up close along with CNW 1015 during a Trip to the National Museum of Transportation during Christmas, man, I miss those times
