5 Of The World's WEIRDEST Locomotives! ​⁠​⁠​⁠@enginediyshop6269

Best part about Pat, is that he was built off of another loco's tender. Someone looked at an abandoned tender, and thought 'yep, this is shunter material'.

I can definitely see one of the locomotives I suggested in the Discord server. A very well done video documenting some of the rather unique locomotives in the history of railroads and railways

Thank you to all the Discord server members who submitted locomotives for this video! If you would like to join the Discord Server, just click the link! discord.gg/TFm76w9MtW

I've been in the cab of the UP Big Boy. It was being transferred somewhere back in the 50s when it stopped in my hometown, a Division Pointon the UP. My uncle & my cousin both worked for the road (as had my Dad, my Granddad, and several other cousins). One of them finagled me into the cab. Quite an experience for a little boy fascinated by trains!

Best description of the Soviet diesel/steam hybrid monster I think I've seen. The USSR, incidentally, built probably many more opposed-piston Diesels based on the Fairbanks-Morse than Fairbanks-Morse ever did in the TE3 and TE10 series. If you thought Alcos were smoky look out some videos of those!

4:40, there was CSX #909, which had a Conrail sticker but was immediately removed.

Interesting and cool video and congratulations and your first sponsor

I especially love the little alligator on the train clip, I’ve seen him posted on tumblr singing with his little accordion before and it was a pleasant surprise catching him riding the tail end of a Russian train.

WOOOO let's go! Keep this series chuggin!

We have A67 built 1873 still runs ( numerous rebuilds no doubt )

It's a little uncanny seeing my work in another video, but this is a great use of it! There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the TP1-1, and it is made no easier by the fact that the most helpful sources are translated from or are written in russian. I wonder if alot of these contradictions also come from the experimental nature of the locomotive, as the source I viewed in the creation of my model made no mention of diesel as a fuel. Instead the document implied that the coal gas was used to power the internal combustion engine. I have also just found the source you were likely referencing, which described the use of the diesel engine. Certainly an interesting rabbit hole to dive down, though it seems rife with contradictory information.

Have a look at the DR class 19 1001 from Germany. It was a streamlined express steam engine that was powered by four so-called “steam motors”, which powered the four driving axles individually, so there were no connecting rods. For an express engine it had very small driving wheels at just 1250mm or around four feet. Still, it apparently reached a top speed in testing of 186 kph (115 mph), making it one of the fastest European steam locomotives of all.

Amazingly Weird. XD

FCCA is at least part owned by Henry Posner's group, and he worked for Conrail so that might also be a reason.

Finally, a new video

You included 4chan in context and your coupon is for a product I actually want. I like you guys.

This is an interesting video to learn about some weird locomotives. A lot of facts I didn’t learn but some I knew.

Of course the fairt queen was made in England

The Fairy Queen aka #22 is a very beautiful steam engine, hope she will keep on running
