  1. When it was just starting out, it sounded like a living, breathing monster. Fire breathing dragon, perhaps? Way beyond cool!

    1. I think that is the best video I've ever found! Glad you liked it, too!

  2. What a great post. I did not know of the Garrett locomotives. Very interesting and made pretty much all gauges. The ones in the video were 3 ft. 6 in and 4-8-2+2-8-4. And it looked like the extra water tank between the engines.

    Did you see all the boids at the 4:42 mark? Have to mention them for Chickenmom!

  3. Those stats were a great read, weren't they? Steam, smoke, whistles, mountain and boids! What more could 'ya ask for?
