33 Ton Vulcan Steam Loco in the Bush

There truly is no resisting the masculine urge... To restore a steam locomotive to operational condition.

You should bring some people together to revive this beautiful machine

As a machinist/tool maker, it amazes me how they hand built every precise part on that machine 100 years ago with NO CNC's. Pure skill and experience.

Do it. I haven't done the leg work... But I feel like project steam locomotive is an untapped genre on YouTube.

That's a classic vintage 😮 workhorse yes let's bring that back to life 😮😮😮

I was riveted by all the serious historical information and details. Then that grin when he stuck his head in the firebox caught me off guard and gave me a chuckle, both times I watched it.

My grandfather worked at the Vulcan iron works plant in Wilkes-Barre, Pa for a while and that building is still in use as a recycling and scrap center.

The Georgia museum of agriculture has an operating Vulcan steam locomotive. Keith Rucker on YT vintage machinery has video's as he just fitted new bearings to the connecting rods.

Years ago I worked on the 618 out of Heber Utah. Coal fired standard gauge. Most awesome job I’ve ever had.

Specifically a Vulcan Iron Works locomotive, not to be confused with a Vulcan Foundry locomotive.

Having seen that engine in person and taken a very close look at it, it definitely deserves to be saved. Build a tender for it, and go run it at Stettler!

[Cactar]

We surviving the zombie apocalypse with this thing boys

[NumbaJuanBog]

That'd be a good starter locomotive. Channel your inner Fred.

[ColonelClusterFunk]

The Fort Steele heritage town in BC might soon be in need of a new locomotive... they might be the ones for this!

[cliffordbaxter]

Very cool ✝️🇺🇸😃
Restoring it would be a Fun project 🙂

[ColeRobertson-ilvd]

Using sand in an upper reservoir that can be siphoned to the wheels on the track for grip is such a genius idea. Man I love engineers, machinists and mechanics.

[MrChevelle]

keith rucker over at vintage machinery is working on one very similar to this. it does light duty at the georgia museum of agriculture. and he as most if not all the blueprints to repair it too.

Looks like my friends place in Dunkirk, NY.
Has the Viscous Coal 0-4-0 stream engine.
Out back, he has other steam engines waiting restoration.

[Boankofa]

Do it bro. A lot of people are here for it!

[Maddog]

There's something magical about steam engines of all kinds.
