Firing up and running the 268 'Bumblebee' live steam locomotive, REMASTERED 60P

Sadly, the F&PV railway no longer exists. One owner has passed away and the other moved out of state. The railroad was torn up but many parts and pieces survive at other railroads around California. Enjoy this piece of live steam history.

Thank you for sharing an updated video, Mike! Love the F&PV RR!! Can't tell you how many times I've watched your video! I was able to visit it years ago and have lunch with the owners. It was a beautiful RR!!

Could you recommend a affordable 7.5 or 4.75 gauge live steam loco

[chrisbailleul]

That is AWESOME!!! ...but where does one find a model train that big, is it privately owned? It's just SO COOL!!!

Can never get enough of these videos! 💯

Read the description, it's a shame it was dismantled. I found it very inspiring. Fortunately the video series you made keeps the story alive

Veramente eccezionale la locomotiva è. Vagoni pure un amico mio che sta vicino a. Perugia nella sua fattoria nel parco di olivi ha una cosa molto simile dove ci ritroviamo appassionati di questi treni che hanno per un grande fascino

Nice job on that Economy Fire Door. Rest of the engine and tank are really nicely done.

Fantastic locomotive! Cheers Fabrizio . like 23

That’s very cool are the rails 7 1/2 inches apart?

This question applies to steam engines as a whole and not just this example. Do the individual pistons exert force on the “push” and the “pull?” Or is it the same idea as a petrol engine where only the “push” of the piston is what gives it rotational power? I’m unfamiliar with the inner workings of the pistons on steam locomotives. I’m learning about the history of the steam era and this question has been hovering in the back of my mind.
