NNRY #93 returns to steam...

[Harlock]

Here's the first video I've uploaded since YouTube started offering HD feeds:

And 326 pictures:

this engine has had her running gear rebuilt, wheels turned, axles replaced and a whole bunch of other stuff. Total cost? $165,000. Be glad you're working in small scale.

In those galleries is a gallery of close ups of the new running gear, if you're interested in what a prototype ALCO Consolidation from 1909 was built like. She'll be 100 years old this January 17th.

I spent several days up in Nevada acquiring this footage during her initial steam trials, just after Christmas.

Too much fun,

--Mike
