My New Cute Porter Steam

I don't know why that is so funny to watch but it just makes me laugh

Thanks for the fun , and peek at a very nice layout.

Great video I got the same locomotive for y birthday two days ago

Nice but I don;t think a real Porter would run that fast. Looks like a nice scratch build project on a switcher  mechanism.

These are Great little engines. I really like mine. I wonder who ended up with the molds after the K-line / Lionel dust up?

I would be happy to get a few more of these for my railroad but nobody has made more of them in the almost 10 years since the end of the brief K-Lionel period.

I have one that I converted to TMCC and chuffing smoke, great little locomotive.

That is just fun to watch whizzing about.

It's fun playing around with this engine, but I guess the smoke apparatus is kaput, since I have been running it now for some time but can't get any smoke from it.

It has fan driven smoke, so it should smoke pretty well.  Note that it takes probably at least 20 drops of fluid to wake it up.

Thanks for the tip, Gunnunnerjohn.  I'll pour some more in it.

I've looked a couple of times and I can't see anyone driving or stoking that little engine.

Expect a visit from the government and the union folks. 

More importantly, there is no place for any coal to stoke the engine!   That's why I included a little coal car.  All I need is a fireman with a shovel.

Thanks G. I pumped in more fluid and ran it for about 15 min. I had it pulling a flat car. Suddenly noticed it derailed. When I checked I found that the screws came off the coupler and it was sitting along side the track. Fixed the problem and started running. Low and behold it started smoking. Thanks for the help.

Hard to pull without being coupled!

Glad you got the smoke going, it's actually a pretty good smoker.
