For the Train fans here
Some of you know, I volunteer with a Railroad locally. We've been working on restoring a locomotive, I had hopes of putting Mercedes at it's heart but I was Waylayed by a hydraulic engineer who said he could make the hydro system work... weelll... he did... so I thought I'd share the video's of todays Successful Testings. the engine is out of time a little and it smokes like mad. theory is that they walk hand in hand... so anyways.
all youtube links Just the power Car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mTNX0zKcjI Replicate Pushback with Replicate attached: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT5U8NKb10I I was running the controls on here. Not a great one, but I had my mind on running this thing and looking at pressure gauges http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSqjro62rF0 This is just a overview of the whole hydro system. there was a slight mishap at a switch so we needed a jack... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh6HHCyp8TA

I would say that engine is more overloaded than out of time.

Well, if it fails it's test in 2 weeks, I get my idea to try...we'll see I guess.

Lots of trains up here at the National Railroad Museum. Ever make it up this way?

That's a slick setup with the two-way spool to control that hydraulic motor's rotation. You know, that's not the first time for a diesel/hydraulic...

R Leo has it.. I'm not a major fan of the system however if it works it's a means to an end. there's several people who work with the R.R who thought they wouldnt live long enough to see this engine move under it's own power again..
@landyaghtlover: No, I've not been to the R.R museum. Funny. Lived there most of my life and never have been to it. though it's on my list of places to go when I get back to WI for a trip

Now that I see it in the flesh, a 616 or 617 would be much too heavy for use as a prime mover. There are dozens of small industrial diesels or gassers out there that be better suited to the application than a MBZ automobile engine. A small Deutz would be neat...no cooling system. What sort of brakes does the loco/train have?

While I was looking forward to your 616/617/603 conversion, it's still very cool to see it under its own power nonetheless!

I'd love to have a 15" park RR out here at the farm. Came across one for sale at Queen Wilhelmina state park in AR a couple of years ago...mile of rail, 3-4 switches, loco and 4-5 cars for something like $34k.
Like I need another project...
