Im a heavy machine operator... And now i watch in-deph train videos like a kid watching cartoons and are hungry to learn more and more!! Love the vids❤️

"these are the bongos"... Hyce, you're the guy in the friend group I aspire to be XD

The more I learn about the more in-depth pieces on steam locomotives and how they work as well as what it takes to maintain these things, the more fascinating and the more amazing they get. It is the best drug I've ever had, hats off to you guys who work to keep these things running.

Uncle Tony sent me !!

Thanks for another outstanding video, Hyce. My parents were born in Denver in the early 1920s and my late father worked for the Denver & Rio Grande from 1937 until he retired in mid-1986 (with a three-year hiatus overseas with the US Army during WWII). It warms my heart to see your exceedingly interesting and well-informed content on railroading in general and on the D&RGW, in particular. The D&RGW was extremely good to my father and our family and I will never forget how much he loved the work and the people. I never miss one of your contributions and I'll be certain to keep my old (I'm presently on my 65th lap around the sun) eyes and ears tuned for the next one. I think I see the headlight, now. Carry on, sir.

1:28 that bicyclists timing 🤌

This is really neat - Ive been a geek who has been obsessed with trains all my life. so I had some vauge idea of the sort of machinery that went into even a small "modern" engine but getting explanations for all this stuff and getting a close look at how all this comes together and works is amazing.

It is humbling to consider that this wealth of information, ably presented by a knowledgeable enthusiast, is provided at no charge. Many thanks, Hyce. I learn a lot from you.

Sweet video. UTG, Tony's channel sent me here. Outstanding!

8:55 couldn’t help yourself could ya?😂

Love this vid Hyce, would love to see an in depth look at the tunnel motor. And 346 and 20. Actually, basically any locomotive at the CRRM would make for a cool video haha

Special request: if you ever find yourself in Illinois, swing by IRM and do a 360 of 1630

hyce, you are the luckies man in the world, feel and be able to touch and working on it those history

Excellent tour young man. And to think that all this was all designed on pencil and paper and built without computerized machine tools - and it all worked, and worked well.

This is exactly what the C&TSR should do the first day of the Fireman school.

A master at your trade - been a member at the CRRM since 1983, and your videos just make me fall in love with the place all over again. Thank you so much for doing these!

Thank you for walking around and touching all of the parts of the choochoo so that we can live vicariously through you 🤣

8:53 nice beat Hyce XD better hope 491 isn't grouchy later

6:54 *fresh pots* 😂

I love the video with the blow down valve I saw,you do not want to be in front of that when it's open,you will no longer have a face,thanks for the educational experience, can't wait for more!

Always thought steam trains looked wierd with the handle at the front of the smoke box because it looks like it’s smiling lmao

That shot on from the frame showing the inside wheels and the outside counterweights while moving was so cool!

I think hyce is "Married" to this locomotive 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

I've been getting into my country's narrow gauge locomotives recently(3ft6in) and love seeing in depth videos of the different loco's designs that are out there. Can't wait for the next video on the others there at the Colorado railroad museum!

Very nice walk around of the locomotive. I''ve been playing with steam in one form or another all my life, and I learned a couple things today! Thank you!

6:54 491: I love how you said fresh pots 😅

An excellent overview Mark. By watching this video, I really begin to understand all the various parts of the loco. I’m going to watch this a few times and quiz myself as to the part names and functions. Lots of fun homework! Nice detail shots and succinct descriptions are useful for this novice. You’re a good teacher, Professor Mark. I’m really getting a first rate education. Again thanks for another valuable video.

These things were SOOO beautiful. Really awesome. Thank you so much for this.

Thank you, really enjoyed watching!!!

Thanks! Just returned from a ride on engine 81 at the yard in Ely, Nevada. This video added so much more to my understanding of how these locomotives operate. Look forward to seeing your other videos.

There is just something about narrow gauge locomotives that is just awesome when i think steam locomotives D&RGW just pops in my head there is just something about the equipment that hits different its more nostalgic your so lucky to get the hands on experience im so glad you take the time to make these videos so i can experience it to some day i want to take a trip and see them in person until then thank you for the videos!!

who knew Hyce could play the Railroad Bongo's?

Love to see more similar vids!

It's our favorite locomotive It's K-37 class 491!

Great and informative video. Biggest thing I learned... Peaches got back

We have an old Locomotive running around from the 1920s here in melbourne, and multiple times last year they caught fire.

I certainly enjoy this kind of series, learning about the mechanics of things and how they work is pretty interesting

25:52 I was in the cab of 3415 in Abilene Kansas, All manor of things is an understatement.

Thanks hyce, this is what gets me through everything

Another great shop talk with Hyce, always a great way to spend some time

Fantastic,each mechanism taken individually is straightforward but getting them to work together,jeez cheers big chap aw the best from sunny troon

Really love the explanation of a locomotive, gives me a greater appreciation of thier beauty!

At 5:06 I see one of our companies mud flaps in the shop from Kelley Trucking!!

Love the suspension footage. Imagine what a locomotive mechanical engineer would have given to be able to watch this in slow mo and rewind back when.

Your instructional videos are the best.

When a steam locomotive has more creature comforts than my car.....

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge about the working parts of this locomotive. I've been enthralled with steam railroading since I was young. And today at 50 nothing has changed about the excitement these magnificent machines bring to me. Only wish here in Wisconsin there were more friendly locomotive groups to belong to. Your videos are awesome 👌.

I AM a pensioner from Danmark, Europe. I like your videos and all your details. My former wife is from Los Alamos, New Mexico

You know Hyce, you should do one of these on the Big boy

Great tour thank you

I love the LOCO 360 idea. Obviously you will probably do one for both RGS 20 and the 346, but here's to hoping you may can do it for a couple of the other locomotives y'all have around too. Barring the ability to clear the rodent infestation out of a particular Ding Dong Ditch loco lol.

Fantastic video! Great job!

It's always a joy watching your videos hyce.. I've had the luxury of visiting the museum In the past but this year's been tricky and I havnt been able to visit with my nieces and nephews this year for any rides. I hope to visit again soon though!

We all know the drifting rod. It activates tank steering on all american locomotives when the ice on the lake has frozen over the tracks

Thanks Hyce! Very interesting.

Before I started watching the video,I want you to do more of them,absolutely love all your educational videos, thanks so much

More of these would be cool

Love the full walk around. I think you explained the snifter valve odd though. Closes under cylinder valve pressure. Opens when no pressure to stop a vacuum being created.

Excellent video. Very informative. I learned a lot. Thanks.

I really enjoyed learning how a steam engine works a very good informative presentation explained in terms that a person that knows nothing about steam locomotives can understand look forward to seeing other videos Pete from australia

We have used those rerailing frogs and butterflies before... last time I remember was when the frameless tank car came off the rails in the cut.

Hyce I only found your Channel about a week ago but I have really enjoyed these videos. Keep up the good work

As 491 is my favorite locomotive, I loved watching this and would love to see some more Loco 360 videos. (I watched this way late cause school sucks, why can’t I just learn about locomotives)

beautiful machine!

Wow, this channel is wonderful!

Dog-dangit Hyce with that ponytail and beard you're starting to look like a young Willie Nelson!

Oh wow! So much info here to nerd out on....I'm going to have to watch this a few times to even begin to digest all of this amazing info!!

This video is perfect! Just what I was looking for...someone to explain all of the pipes, valves, and other controls, so that I can better understand how steam engines work. Most other videos show the main parts, but this one has the detail that I like. Thanks....thumbs up and new sub. Need to go see the other videos of yours now.

I like in some of the clips you show us I like how you can hear the valve gear directing the steam

Here in the UK all our steam locos right up till the diesels took over the lamps were oil burning ones that mounted on little poles called a "lamp iron"

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more videos

Can we talk about how the dude on the bicycle at 1:27 was 2 seconds away from being vaporized? 😂

I really liked this in-depth look at a K-37's working parts. I would strongly recommend this video series to anyone who is into trains, especially steam trains. I would also suggest using some lighting when filming inside the cab, as this was really dark. I'm currently nearing completion of a live steam 2-6-0 modern Mogul in 1.5" scale, so I'm pretty familiar with most of the things you covered here, but it was still very entertaining and informative.

More videos like this please

Fresh pots!! Very very nice walkaround, I've very recently found your channel and have instantly gotten hooked

Well done video oh yes more would be in order. Thank you

i know standard gauge isn't any less safe within operating parameters, but dang it looks super goofy and sketchy coming from a city with pure broad gauge.

Thank you for posting a detailed video.

I made two D&RGW characters in my own series that revolves around a red narrow gauge tank engine named John. Known as John and friends. The D&RGW twins are known by their names No.4 (Devin), No.5 (Denver) who are both k-37s. But there a mix of C-19. And K-28. Plus a mix of T-12. They were built both in 1927. They are working for the NC&TVSR. They were built by Baldwin. There numbers from the works are: Devin: 900004, Denver: 900005. That’s them but I love the vid keep it up!

Nothing like a steam locomotive cab (smallish ones at least) in the winter, you find yourself roasting on one side and freezing on the other.

Would love to see the inside of one of the air pumps. Single or compound. It took me several trips to the library as a kid, renting steam books, to understand how they worked.

A very fun and interesting show and tell. Thanks!

I would LOVE more of this! But maybe consider a ring lamp or something mounted to the camera to help with the dark shots!

I wonder why Steam Locomotives never went to an enclosed loop system ( Like Ships ) seems like not having all that water /steam around metal would have reduced maintenance and improved range Cool Videos !!!

1:26 that Guy almost got wet by the blowdown. Lmao

We need you to model a 3d steam loco! LOL. You know your stuff! I'd love even just ONE properly modeled and fully functional steam engine in a sim! Every valve, every sound, every visual. SOME DAY....

Hyce yelling "FRESH POTS" has to be one of the best things ever lmao, quick question though. I think I remember an engine with the nickname Grandma on one of your videos, was that 491? Or is my memory messing with me again lol

These awesome videos make me really wish I still had easy access to my tractors to film them. Unfortunately they’re halfway across the country not getting the love they deserve

Loved it! Thanks for all the info about the controls. Quick question: would you possibly be able to do this with the RGS 20 too? I'm designing a C-16 live steam locomotive and the RGS 20 is pretty close to what I'm designing. So it would just be nice to see the full cab interior/locomotive details, 100% don't have to I was just wondering!

hi hyce Love you'er video i like to see all of the steam train i love steam trains.

Very nicely done! And very interesting.

Very interesting video, but I feel like I have 100 questions, no problem if you can’t answer all of them 😂 What oil weight do you use? Do you have to use special oil? What kind of additives? The covers for the pistons look like they are welded. Are they? Those would not be original because they didn’t use welders, right? Are the lights electric? Where does the electricity come from on the loco? Does the floor between the tender and loco move on curves? Is rerailing a narrow gauge more work than rerailing a standard gauge, considering how the wheels sit further in? What is the purpose of the smoke box door? Is it for cleaning the inside of the smoke box? Does it get dirty? If you were to design a 2023 steam loco, what would be the first thing you would fix using modern technology?

I'd love to see you do one of these on 5629. That one would probably need some research on your part haha.

THEY WERE GREEN!

very nice video.

I love peaches. She is too chonky to be missed.

Awsome.

your the first person ive seen play a steam locomotives cylinder cover like a bongo

Wonderful video! Now 346.
