I have a Lionel one of those. Seeing it roll is cool, but that had to be totally awesome, live.

Not to be mean spirited, but it's a video of a train. What am I missing?

Pretty sweet.
There were a lot of tan FJs and black Volvos on the road that day. |

The golden age of trains. Like the steam locomotives.

I wonder where they get wear items for those old locomotives
Things like wheels, brake shoes, etc The company I work for makes wheels for locomotives and freight cars but nothing like what some of that steam era equipment used |

And to think someone here gets to play with a life size railroad, and all I had was the model one. I feel bamboozled!!!! That said, my fascination for steam locomotives will never wane. Just fantastic pieces of machinery.

All you need is the proper sized equipment and a skilled machinist / worker. Short of a catastrophic failure, you have the worn piece to use as a reference or most likely an old blueprint.

Wheels are either forged or cast. I don't think anyone is machining a wheel out of block

We've gotten similar forgings in various steel alloys too. You can order them from the mill. |
