The new C25 #375 coal fired locomotive from Accucraft, a really great engine with a lot of power and very good usability! Thank you Accucraft for this great locomotive!
As others have said, the trestles are astonishing. Also ambitious grades with the live steam made effortless with RC. Well done. Very inspiring. Thanks.
I must’ve watched this video a 100 times I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my coal fired 25 love your layout. I need to build trestles like yours but have no idea where to start to complete my layout
Thanks for the great compliment! I have been building this layout for 18 years, a new project every year, most of the ideas I have from the RGS Volume series, the entire system is based on the RGS Railroad. I am still fascinated by this bridge design. Have fun with the nice C25. :)
La loco est superbe ainsi que le circuit. J'ai apprécié la prise d'eau au château d'eau et les deux séquences du chargement en combustible. Le viaduc courbe est remarquable. Le tournage du film est de bonne qualité et la machine est parfaitement conduite. Bravo!
Hello mate! Can you tell me how long can she run for and on how much coal? And how often to fill her up with water for the steam? And your layout is great! Beautiful accucraft engine.
as everyone else is saying, this looks great, how did you get the train to stop at the water tower again? is there a switch under the engine that get switched as it passed through the crossover?
I love your railroad, very impressive locomotives as well. You've made me a live steam fan for life! Could you tell me what the approximate dimensions of your layout are?
Thank you so much! It happened to me as well 15 years ago everything started. The layout is 120 feet long and 7-20 feet wide. Enjoy the most beautiful hobby in the Wörld! :)
Hey, I have a 4.8V Accu for the Remote Control System, the Accu fits perfectly under the tender, from there with seperate cable to the locomotive connected by BC plug, at the locomotive I used the thinnest copper wires and an LED soldered. Best regards
Can't have a Chuffer in a Coal-Fired Engine, the smokebox becomes too crowded and the engine can't draft properly. Also the chuffer actually softens the blast on the fire, and it makes trying to clean the flues after a run impossible,
You have a beautiful layout. I just bought a C-25 (butane fired), and was wondering how much of a slope she can handle. I'm just starting to build my railroad and some of the tracks will be at a 2.5 degree slope. Is that too much?
@@jamesm6638 it would be nice if Lionel did some live steam engines for the o gauge market maybe using electric boilers and all you'd need to do is make sure there is water in the boiler and if it gets too low it automatically shuts down to prevent damage
@@katerinakittycat3849 there have been O scale live steam engines for decades... but if you ask me, live steam is really about the larger gauges like 7.5", 15", 5", etc
@@jamesm6638 probably but with my tight space o gauge is probably the biggest I could go. The have been o gauge live steam engines but they're pretty much all British or European looking engines. I haven't seen any American live steam engines in o gauge
