We have spent a couple weeks looking at the Civil War engine,General, and that has me wanting to look at more 4-4-0 engines. Surprisingly, there are some of them out there on YouTube. This one is the Eureka and Palisades #4 Engine running on the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge. That is some pretty stack talk as the engine pulls the grade to Silverton.
There's something about the sound of a steamer, and especially the whistle, that just reaches out to me.
