Overview
Live steam in a beautiful garden. I enjoyed the run-bys and the detail along the route. People waiting at the station, the bridges, buildings and landscaping all blend together.
The steam pouring out of the doubled headed train at the end was the best.
Railroad - great, Engines - ??
Terrific looking railroad. I do like the way it fits the background. The only live steam engine I ever owned was a stationary one that was fired with the jelly stuff (I forget the name) and, with a big flywheel, ran at a very steady pace. Anyhow, I was impressed with the look of the engines in the video but they seemed to run at an unsteady pace. Is that typical or did someone forget to blow down the cylinders?
