Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

  Well, since it seems this site is a bit slow I'll start a new
thread for those who are brave enough to put up their first
YouTube video.  Mine, a KJ Miller trio, was taken on a cellphone
by my wife.

 

Who is next???

This my first yt video from 2012:
A WBD Bischoff steam plant from Dresden Germany ca. 1930
before restoration - the first live steam test.
The duration for the upload was extremely long then...

Hi,

Alas not as interesting as the previous videos, my offering according to YouTube was nine years ago.



Take care Tony.

Bonour,
Wayne, good idea, here is my first one, 15 years ago and at that time I was not speaking... yet
Liva 1 is the first steam boat of my collection (the Côte d'Emeraude, my first love contact with steam when I was 15 came 3 years later) :

Will you recognize her crew  ?

Here's mine from about a dozen years ago:

That is wonderful Larry!

What a peaceful scene in a pleasant garden setting that you have there.

I suspect that your trackage is very level overall, and that the raised portion in the foreground is simply to maintain your track level over ground that is falling away?

Just my personal view, the ground level trackage looked far better, and was visually far more satisfying. However, back and knees no doubt favor the elevated railway, and unless you have enough space to create a gentle grade up to an elevated steam-up station, ground level is tough for oldsters like me. That being said, I'm still building on the ground, on some fairly good-sized sections of fill locally, but only gaining several inches over just being flat on the ground. I will of necessity be having an elevated steam-up station to accommodate my physical limitations, but I suspect that there will be many times when back and knee issues will have to be suffered to keep on having "fun"!?!?

Whichever way you are doing it, beats not doing it by miles!!!
