Nice. Have you got footage with a realistic start? That was one of my most liked aspect of my Roundhouse SR&RL 2-6-2.

Thanks for sharing your videos . You have a fantastic collection  !

Video is nice. The music takes away from the video.

TM TERRY: I too once owned a Roundhouse SR&RL #24 with factory installed RC, and I agree it was a realistic and dependable steamer.

I do not run RC, so I have to be at the loco to start the train (and cannot make a video at the same time).

Is gauge one live steam fairly popular in the Netherlands?

No, but it is popular in my garden:

Hey, I once briefly owned an Aster live steam 4501 Crescent livery Mikado, but alas never fired it. Instead, I traded even for a mint Marklin Gauge One Crocodile with digital sound and control and its display board!

I personally preferred butane/isobutane firing for my three gauge one live steamers: Roundhouse SR&RL #24, LGB Frank S, and a Geoffbilt 2-truck Shay. I always used steam distilled water, high-grade cigar lighter butane purchased at a tobbaconist shop, and high-grade medium viscosity steam oil. Never had any clogged nozzles!

FRED: I really enjoyed your Aster 1:32 Big Boy under steam on your gartenbahn! First time I saw one of those monsters at Diamondhead, MS, I was blown away! TOO AWESOME for words!  ☺

Do you own any coal-fired gauge one steamers by any chance?

I have the Japanese C62 which is coal fired:

VERY COOL - THANKS!  ☺

Is that C62 an Aster?

Do you use Welsh coal by any chance? Appropriate size chunks of this coal were popular at the Diamondhead events I attended in 1996 and 1997 with the coal fired loco chaps.

Just curious. ☺

I always liked the way the coal fired locos would have more frequent pop-offs.

And that unique aroma!

One friend of mine converted his gas-fired Roundhouse SR&RL #24 to coal firing, and it drew much attention at Diamondhead in 1997.

Surely our good friend, FRED, is not the only poster here with gauge one live steam? Show us YOURS!  ☺
